Here below you can see some stunning paintings (click for hi-res) with fantastic scenery and some steampunk elements. These aren’t simple images, they are screen captures from an animated movie made by Studio Ghibli: Iblard Jikan.

It’s definitely not the usual anime. 30 minutes, without a real story, without dialogue and with minimal animation. It’s pure mood, beauty and harmony, yet extremely powerful. Poetry made picture. Naohisa Inoue is the visionary artist (and director) who built this kind of word.

It simply deserves to be seen, especially because it fills the heart while being so sparse.

I doubt this can have a commercial distribution on our side of the world, so, maybe, it’s almost acceptable if I link the torrent file and the website from where it comes.

Welcome to the age of high definition (the video may require a powerful CPU to decode, either try VLC player or the CoreAVC codecs).

Enjoy one of the greatest spectacles ever made. A world of epic-ness and beauty.
