Original “Howl’s Moving Castle” Storyboards

May 1, 2008

Storyboards from “Howl’s Moving Castle” drawn by Mamoru Hosoda (“The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”), the original director of the project who was later replaced by Hayao Miyazaki, have turned up online at GhibliWorld.

The storyboards themselves were auctioned off by otaku goods seller Mandarake last month for 211,000 yen ($2,024). A rare case when we actually agree with the big-spending otaku: These are worth every penny.
