Studio Ghibli just announced its first ever TV series, and even more exciting it’s an adaptation of a book by Astrid Lindgren. “Sanzoku no Musume Ronja”, or “Ronja the Robber’s Daughter”, will be aired in Japan starting on August 31. It is a coproduction with 3DCG studio Polygon Pictures (known for animating some of Ghost in the Shell, among others), to be directed by Goro Miyazaki. More details are forthcoming.
The story is of a little girl named Ronja, the daughter of a colourful robber chieftain who lives in a castle high on a rock in a dark pine forest. She gets to know the creatures of the forest, meets another kid like herself, and questions her father’s life of robbery.
It will be interesting to see the new route Studio Ghibli takes now that it is making TV animes.

Shinto Muso Ryu
Ichi Rei (meaning: one bow) starts from what might seem a strange position, crouching down. What’s more, from that awkward position one must bounce up an preempt the sword from being drawn. This requires precision in timing and application -in the kata at least, lest one breaks the wrist-, while at the same time ‘jumping’ up: in other words, a combination of gross motor skills and fine motor skills at the same instant.
The rest of the kata, the jo remains aggressive, staying close to the swordsperson, and swiftly following the sword when it retreats. The jo constantly goes for the head, forcing the swordsperson to defend. Thus, Ichi Rei sees an interesting transformation from a jodoka who starts from what looks like an innocent and weak position, who then explodes into action, and like a tsunami rolls over the sword.
