Ayaji I'm going to have to re-read the books (and finish the cycle this time, since I never read book five or six) I watched the trailer and didn't recognise any of the characters but the one I think is Ged (aka Sparrowhawk)
i love the books. theyve been my favorites since high school. she came out with some new ones that center around ged's adopted daughter. i hope miyazaki jr will do a good job with the anime - after watching the trailer, i cant follow much either - but the farthest shore is more about the young king than of ged. ged is an old man by this third story.
here's the summary (from the back of the book):
arren, prince of enland. ged, archmage of roke. the young prince brought harsh news. there was no longer true magic in enlad - the mages had forgotten their spells. the springs of wizardry were running dry...with arren, ged set out to meet the unknown dangers, to confront his own past, and to test the ancient prophecies...ged took with him on his journey all the hopes of Earthsea, moving now into doom or into a new age...
they cant do any worse than the sci-fi mini series that tried to merge wizard of earthsea and tomb of atuan into a single story. it was pretty lamerz.
oh, i also hate how people are translating the title of miyazaki jr's upcoming anime - they're trying to do it literal: war record of ged. its the same japanese word as 'record of lodoss war' but i think a better english title, one that fits the story better, would be 'deed of ged'
