Studio Ghibli presents a heartwarming coming-of-age story, "From Up on Poppy Hill"

From Up on Poppy Hill is a touching coming-of-age drama from Studio Ghibli, available on Blu-ray/DVD combo pack. Directed by Goro Miyazaki, son of Hayao Miyazaki, the story is set in Yokohama in 1963 and depicts the pure aspirations and growth of high school students.

The story begins with the encounter between Umi Matsuzaki, a high school girl who raises a flag every morning without fail, and Shun Kazama, a member of the school newspaper club. Umi has a daily routine of raising a flag every morning in memory of her late father, facing the harbor that can be seen from her home. Meanwhile, Shun is the newspaper club's editor-in-chief, a man of both intelligence and drive. The two become attracted to each other as they work together to oppose plans to demolish the old school building, "Quartet." However, a secret from their past casts a shadow over their relationship.

Set against the backdrop of Japanese society being shaken by the waves of modernization ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the story carefully depicts young people struggling between tradition and innovation.

Based on a screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki, this film has received high praise from around the world and is known for its beautiful, detailed visuals and heartfelt story, which are characteristic of Ghibli films.

The appeal of video

Visually, the high-definition encoding maximizes the beauty of the detailed hand-drawn images, resulting in vibrant colors that seem to pop off the screen. In particular, the scene depicting the interior of the old school building known as "Quartet" is rendered in detail, right down to every single prop and background, providing a rich visual experience that offers new discoveries no matter how many times you watch it.

The Blu-ray edition delivers high-quality video that fully captures the meticulous depictions and beautiful colors of Studio Ghibli films, as well as immersive audio quality, allowing you to enjoy the same immersive experience as you would in a movie theater, right in the comfort of your own home.

The biggest attraction is that you can enjoy the delicate expressions unique to Ghibli works, such as the texture of the details, color gradation, and expression of light, in high definition.
