Nissin have attempted to pull on the heartstrings of otaku once more with their latest cup noodles CM, which features the characters of fabled Miyazaki movie Kiki’s Delivery Service as high school students and possibly convincing otaku into giving up more of their cash with the overpowering nostalgia.
The magical CM, boasting designs by Eisaku Kubonouchi and music by Bump of Chicken:

The CM is part of Nissin’s previously mentioned “Hungry Days” campaign.
And the boy had the Hogwarts uniform, or is it just me ?
Note that the Kiki’s license doesn’t belong to Ghibli or Miyazaki–they licensed the property from the author of the original books, Kadano Eiko. So Nissin probably did the same.
The only thing Ghibli/Miyazaki really owns aside from their version is the character designs they created for it.
There was a live action one not too long back that was similarly licensed from the author and adapted some other parts of the books that Miyazaki didn’t.
Glad that we got that cleared up.
Alright boys, flip through the pages, take your pick and…
