There’s a trailer for the animé Earthsea movie Gedo Senki online at catsuka.com. I have to say, it looks pretty awful. Don’t go looking for something that’s authentic to the book, whatever you do, because you’re definitely not going to get it.
But yet another Aryan Ged? Surely not. Okay, that’s the animé way, but would it have hurt them much to change it, just this once? How many times does Ursula K have to point out that Ged’s native American-looking, Vetch is black, etc, before people get it?
