[Y-Indology] anime Ramayana

[Guest guest]

Even I didn't know this film, I could check

by google. Title of the film is

"Ramayana - The Legend of Prince Rama ".

 

Even it was made in Japan, language is English only.

And it is not released in Video nor DVD in Japan. (Video CD is not

popular in Japan.)

You'll get rough idea on it, and buy here.

by the film title.

Thanks much to you and Prof. Deshpande for this information. I don't know how

it eluded me on Google. I need a research assistant, or perhaps I should

become one first.

This is for Vishal Agarwal, could I get a copy of the Japanese Ramayana on DVD?

What is the price of one DVD?

This is a very beautiful animated version of Ramayana - the

animations as well as the dialogs are both excellent. It is suitable

for middle school children and can be used as an effective tool for

introducing Ramayana to other age categories as well, certainly more

than the politically loaded versions of Comrade Anand Patwardhan that

are used in schools here. It is a pity that the VCD has not been

marketed well enough.

 

It is in English but in between there are a few sections in poetical

Hindi, some from (or rather based upon) Ramacharitmanas and some in

modern Khari Boli (there are no English subtitles in the copy I have,

but since they are more of digressions, the absence of subtitles

should not deter the unfamiliar viewer). The Hindi portions in

Sundarkanda and Setubandhana are very moving. Dialog delivery is by

Indian voices, and very well done.

 

Some contemporary themes are also interspersed in the narrative.

Apparently, when the Japanese team was making this version, they

approached a wide spectrum of Hindu orgs and leaders, and were

approved by all.

 

I can get you a copy of the VCD gratis in 6 weeks, in case you are

interested. Other list members in the US who want copies may also

send me a personal email.

 

Sincerely,

 

Vishal Agarwal
