Good to see Miyazaki being profitable one last time despite the crazy way this was "promoted". Who knows if the near silence worked or not.

Well, at least they didn't have to worry about marketing expense, which typically doubles the budget Laughing

I guess this proves wrong those talks about it failing or being hit by not having promotion.

I'm not surprised that it's a success. This IS Miyazaki after all. I did think the lack of promotion was an odd choice. The name change seems just as odd, too. But then again, I'm not complaining just as long as we get this one on the sooner side.
