This is an original B2 Japanese poster, printed in 2002, for the release of “Ghiblies: Episode 2” (ギブリーズ).

“Ghiblies: Episode 2”  is a 25-minute short which played in theaters on a double-bill with “The Cat Returns”. This anthology of six digitally created vignettes features the day-to-day activities of the characters that work at the fictitious Studio “Giburi,” which happen to look a bit like the staff at Studio Ghibli. Each of the vignettes is animated in a different art style, with character designs by producer Toshio Suzuki and “My Neighbors the Yamadas” cartoonist, Hisaichi Ishii.

“Ghiblies: Episode 2” is both a continuation and revision of the 2000 NTV television short Ghiblies with a longer running time and better production values for the big screen.
