Ghibli classic Kiki’s Delivery Service is receiving a (Japanese) live action adaptation, and for once there is some enthusiasm that it may not be butchered – based largely on the response to rookie 16-year-old actress Fuuka Koshiba’s “picture perfect” cosplay casting as Kiki.
The movie, based on the same children’s novel series as the Ghibli film rather than on the Ghibli film itself, is due in the spring and has already been dividing Kiki purists.
Original Kiki and Ghibli Kiki are already in fact two different beasts:
Fuuka Koshiba herself apparently won out over 500 other hopefuls in auditions – though her acting experience is limited to only 2 TV drama appearances and a few commercials, so there is plenty of scope for her to ham it things up, and Kiki fans have already criticised her for “standing too spunkily for Kiki” in the promo shot.

Still waiting for live action Kinki's Delivery Service for shits and giggles.
or Kiki's Health Delivery Service
kiki penis massage? best reason to pretend to be retarded, ever.
Lol! I don't mind that at all
not "lol", "loli"
Would make for a great JAV. I mean they made on about Madoka for christ's sake!
For purely statistical and logistical reasons, what be the title and DVD code.
I call you a fucking liar if her face doesn't take up half the god damn camera.
Kiki was my first ever anime girl crush as a small child. I always fantasized about her panty shots.
It's more bloomer than panty
why should i answer to this?
Too old. This would only be a success if they do a nice hentai or even p0rn.
Is that what you say about all classic works of fiction?
If Kiki is too old for you... then are you some kind of super lolicon? :O
Um, dude, it's said in the article the actress is 16.
Oh I'm looking forward to this, the first book was was charming.
Critics will always have something to whine about.
I might watch this as I like Ghibli Studios alot, even though I dont really like live-action.
No big red ribbon?
No, she never had a ribbon in the original book, idiot.
This live-action movie is NOT based upon the anime movie.
Do you ever read anything before posting or are you just a typical troll?
Dude, chillax.
I think she looks better than the anime ghibli version actually. I find her more attractive, but i guess ghibli never really tried to make their girls look so attractive anyways...
Nothing wrong with not pandering to the lolicon crowd.
I want to fuck little girls again...
.......again....!? o.O
Now it do a live action of Atelier Totori....
"Picture perfect"
... but... she's not white.
I wonder, was the original novel set in such a picturesque Italian-style town? It'd be nice if they filmed it there.
Yeah, 'cause this set looks... plastic.
So long as America has nothing to do with it this should turn out very well.
Don't know what you're talking about, Japan has made plenty of anime/manga-based films that are complete shit, too. Or in this case, I suppose it's being based off of the book. Point still stands, however.
Point also stands that Japan has made a few live-action adaptations of anime or manga that are in fact quite good, whereas America, none.
Kiki fans have already criticised her for “standing too spunkily for Kiki”
Can't she just wash that off?
Lemonade, say hello to Nose; Nose, Lemonade.
Japan likes to make adaptations of things nobody wants to see/wants to see an adaptation of. Death note is probably the single exception. They made an adaptation of arakawa under the bridge =_=.
How about an adaptation of Highschool of the Dead.
Now that I will watch.
but you'll have to bring in someone from hollywood to direct it and to make the zombies so itll be scary and dramatic and not corny as hell. Japan is good at anime and manga but your drama and movies suckkk unless you're a plain lonely girl hoping for a hot rich guy to sweep you off your feet and take care of you, or middle aged housewife (hoping 4 the same).
might work if the cg flying doesnt look too cheezy. I actually read the first novel randomly when I was younger.
WHY?
Ok ok she actually looks like Kiki, but do we really need a Live Action version of this movie? The animation and scenery can't get more gorgeous. At best it's going to be a CG recreation of an Italian city. Do we really need that?
Oh forget it they are doing it for the money.
when did kiki get the money for a designer haircut?
When she became a drug runner.
It's a minor, based on a film about a minor and a witch no less. Magic is an obscenity and a tool of the devil!
Sue, extort, arrest.
Hail Satan!
DIE FUCK SHIT FUCK!
downvoters can't seem to sense this anon's sarcasm...
It's not just some anon, it's the usual zealot only in another trolling mode (or at least most people seem to think that). He (it?) does that some times.
