“… It’s going to be amazing.”
A whole post to echo.
The first episode of NHK’s adaptation aired last night (Sunday March 4 at 22:00 JST on NHK’s BS Premium channel). Spoiler free comment. I think the preview clip does their live-action mini series justice.
Perhaps there will be a re-run on their main terrestrial channel at some point? I wonder if NHK would consider broadcasting this whole series? Depending on reception, maybe, around the time when the BSコンシェルジュ programme aired in which the series was introduced, on March 2nd, with clips and cast members Ryuta Sato and Baruto as guests.
I hope so. I’ve written to TVJapan which is NHK’s channel of selected content here in the USA, and they have stated that they have no plan to show it. I kind of understand why, it’s mostly for older Japanese expats, but boo.
I loved L’Engle”s books as a kid, especially this series and her and her stand alones like And Both Were Young and Camilla. I will admit though that A Wrinke in Time was ever my favorite of the series that would be Many Waters and A Swiftly Tilting Planet both of which I”ve reread many times and it does disappoint me to see Wrinkle often treated as a stand alone and know that we”ll most likely never get adaptations of the other books in the series.
