The US and the Uk Netflix release Ni No Kuni on its platform. The movie has a runtime of 106 minutes and assures to make the viewers spellbound for the evening.
A few details about Ni No Kuni
The Ni No Kuni series has been transformed into a full-length movie, and the English dub is set to hit Netflix on the 16th of January. One needs a Netflix subscription to catch the movie when it comes out, but anyone can check out the English-language trailer on the movie’s Page on the viewing platform or by simply typing the name on youtube.
The synopsis of the movie is as follows: “Two average teens go on a mission to save the life of their friend and her counterpart from another world. But it is the love that complicates their journey.”
The film has been directed by Studio Ghibli animator Yoshiyuki Momose, who has a good amount of experience on both Ni No Kuni games as well as Ghibli staples Spirited Away and Grave of the Fireflies.
Both Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and its sequel ‘Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom’ are incredibly cinematic, story-driven adventures with Ghibli’s signature designing and storytelling style is written all over them. If you watch every cutscene across both games, you would probably have enough for two movies. It’s not surprising that the series has turned into a feature-length movie.
It sounds like the Ni No Kuni Netflix movie has been made to tell a completely different tale from the two Ni No Kuni games, in which each movie involves plots that completely separate from each other. The plot sounds as if it is directly inspired by the first game, which also involves “counterparts” of characters existing in separate worlds.
Ni No Kuni and Ni No Kuni 2 are the two of the best anime movies one could ever find.
