Tomorrow's Leaves | Olympic Channel 

Can’t they have this be shown in the opening ceremony itself? It’s a shame such a masterpiece is not even seen by most people.

People in the credits have worked for Studio Ghibli, including the director.... no wonder

The Five Shounen Protagonist represents the five pillars of Olympic Values. Joy of Effort, Fair Play, Respect for Others; pursuit of excellence; and balance between body, will and mind.

Is no one going to talk about how BEAUTIFUL THE MUSIC IS????!!! 😭🥰

Honestly i would've been pissed if they wouldn't have included anything anime related. And yet they didn't dissapoint that was really beautiful piece of anime

People: Jojo is my favorite anime Others: Attack on Titan is my favorite Me: The Olympics

I felt like crying at the end, and I don't even know why. Beautiful and well-drawn short.

This feels like Ponyo, Mononoke Hime, and Laputa altogether

I will remember Olympics 2021 just because of this intro😀

This anime piece is stunningly beautiful! 5 spirits represent 5 elements and 5 rings of the Olympics. 5 kids represent 5 different races. The kids end up working together because while they competed with each other, the earth was suffering. But when they came together, earth thrived, overcoming the depicted climate change and how it would've influenced the future of those 5 kids if they didn't do something. Beautiful! Just beautiful!

This whole video felt like I was playing a Ni No Kuni game. Also, can we just appreciate the animation of the leaves and elements here 5:34 pretty sure those short seconds took a lot of time

That is beautiful, and yet the message of this Olympics round didn't reach the people, when they saw the cartoon beds they didn't understand that it is for the environment,

Water = Asia (Main character boy) Air = Europe (Blonde girl) Fire = America (Indiana girl) Grass = Africa (Brown boy) Ice = Oceania (Small boy)

The Olympics is my new favorite anime

OMG It's Studio Ponoc!! I've been waiting to see more from them since Mary and the Witch's Flower. This gives me the same vibe of fantasy. I love how the sound design matches the music's tempo. From the school bell (1:22), to the horse gallop (2:48) to the ice break transitions, the digger appearing and falling (3:06), the swimming (4:00), even the "tired" breathing they incorporated in the music afterwards, aargh! ]I can list so many...but I won't, I'll just enjoy it XD

i think what i got from this is that it’s about unity and coming together when they were playing with the leaf ball together the world began to heal and i think that’s beautiful

Ok. So we have accepted that this olympic is about to be ALL the sports anime ark in one go. And this is the op. Aight aight.

Who would have thought that, this video was the opening ceremony Tokyo Olympic games

Beautifully executed!!!! They started competing and ended up being friends. The kids run like they were torch bearer and the boy who threw the plant was like the person who lit the Olympic cauldron. Maybe I'm just overthinking it :)

Such a shame only 100k people have seen this amazing artwork ! This should have been shown during the Opening ceremony...

Yeah, I enjoyed this animated short more than the opening ceremony.

This nearly made me cry multiple times and I can't puzzle out an exact reason. The story, the art, the music and the characters all felt so touching. If there was anything that made me appreciate the Olympics more than it is this short anime.

Fun fact: In Japanese animations, kids are always the ones who save the world while adults being so useless.

PLEASE show this during the closing ceremony. PLEASE. PLEASE. It's so beautiful, I'm crying. >_

it’d be cool to allow biodiversity to thrive again through one magical ball but this time we all need to unite not just as countries but as a planet to save our home. This may sound quite out of context since this is definitely about the olympics but I just hope more people understand and act out about how important our environment is. Our olympians work tirelessly to bring honor to their countries. They inspire us with their courage and strength to be there and continue on despite challenges. It shows what humans are capable of when they want something and work for it. Maybe we can still save our planet, if we act now. Our olympians are evidences of growth. Ps. the animation was beautiful!

I'm speechless! This is one of most emotional motivated animes I have ever seen! Well done Olympics! Very much deserved respect. absolutely defining moment, this should be shown at Opening ceremony.

This video completely emphasize on the environment, unity, and future.

This is so super amazing omg

I will never forget Tokyo Olympic 2020. We had awesome Google Game and now this art. Feels like I have seen the whole of Mononoke, Laputa, Moana, Ponyo and Avatar at once.

Beautiful! A message of respecting nature while adding multiple different sports and competitions. (I loved the rugby and volleyball references) Also a message if respecting the differences of cultures while coming together to protect nature. Though I think in this instance "Nature" wasn't just that but the world itself.

I wished this was a series! I feel honored to witness something like this.

a subtle beautiful message that it will take everyone's help to protect and preserve the earth from becoming inhospitable for all life. when I do mean everyone that includes corporations to actually think what more important,money or a future for all life to not just survive but thrive

this was the most beautiful, emotional and motivational piece of anime I ever saw # Tokyo2020 already the best Olympic ever

I got chills, words can't express how much I love this animation. Absolutely beautiful

Only when we put our differences aside and work together can we save nature. That's a beautiful message behind a beautiful animation.

Wish this was actually part of the ceremony.

That's why we love Japan❤❤❤🎌🎌

I would pay 1 million dollars to see this much diversity and plot depth in my anime for the next 20 years than another season of maid dragon.

Ah yes, pokemon olympics.

Every sport is included in this masterpiece

Japan is an amazing country. Not even considering anime or the media or technology stuff. The work culture is amazing there. Will go there one day for tourism if I make enough money.

It feels like that I am watching opening scene of anime movie

Tomorrow's leaves show that unity can create a better future. Thanks to all the participants of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, let us see the spirit of athletes. I also hope that the world can unite to fight the virus, reduce discrimination and protect the environment under the epidemic.

Lovely leaves..., shoals of fish, maps, mountains... I remember every minute of Miyazaki...thank you for all the spectacular watercolors. Just to say, in my newly released book, Re-imagining mathematics, (by Ashna Sen), I explore how the whole of mathematics can emerge from nature, the arts and even community...especially from the symmetry of nature art.

That was really cute, a Ghibli Olympic recap

Oh woooow, I’m really surprised this hasn’t gotten more views since it came out two weeks ago. As soon as I saw it was made by Studio Ponoc (the Studio made by some of those who worked at Studio Ghibli) I knew it was going to be amazing.

As soon as you see Studio Ponoc did this, you should hit 'Like' - end of story. This was beautiful, clever, exciting, charming... everything you'd expect from the Studio Ghibli heir. It really is a fantastic way to reframe all the sports and athletic disciplines you think of from the Olympics into one little adventure here. Just fantastic work from the studio, and also really inspired choice by the Olympics for going to them to make this! Totally paid off!

the way it represents the sports of the olympics, the friendship they build up and all other stuffs is just chef’s kiss

This is such an amazing short! I teared up a bit at the end, idk why it didn't get more views? The style of the anime is really Ghibli's vibe

Studio gibli are truly the best at their craft. Legendary animators.

The music, the composition, the _colors_ .... absolutely beautiful pieces of work. Perfect to represent the Olympics this year

The urge to cry came over me while watching this, I dont know why but I just cried ... i think they were happy tears

Nice video with reference of 5 elements of life , nature and some of the games❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love from India

Amazing Intro!!! Japan always making me fall in love with life!!! Didn't know it was hand drawn too!!! Mesmerizing!!!

why am I always crying when watching those short films? and this one is especially emotional for me, love it wholeheartedly

I hope they get to show this at the end of the Olympics at least! It's a beautiful film.

You see this? This is "A n i m e" -Hayao Miyazaki 🖤💙🤎💚💜❤️🤍💛

It would be legit if lot’s of sports anime’s had a crossover thing with an olympics arc. Like, haikyuu (voleyball), Free! (swimming), Kurroko no Basket (basketball) Sk8 the infinity (skateboarding) etc.

When I saw the blonde girl doing the pole vault, made me think of Ash Lynx and Eiji Okumura and I can't unsee it now. I'm crying

i almost cried. this will be my favorite for a long time, love the way they do this. thank u all

I don't know why when I watch this video, my tears suddenly come out 😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Feels like a studio ghibli movie 💓

how can you do something so awesome? I'm gonna cry here, seriously. We need to take care of our world and this is a great way to show our kids the planet needs to be healed

Miyazaki is gone but I see his Art lives on.Magnificent.

I’m crying 😭✨✨✨ it’s so BEAUTIFUL 💖💖💖 the Art~ The story~ I love it!!!

okay but why did nobody tell me about this cool animation?! it’s so cool japan really put in so much effort to tell a whole olympics story with cool characters and stuff TT

So wholesome 🥰 this makes me want to rewatch all studio ghibli movies again

Ppl : what's your favorite anime? Me : olympics Ppl : Bu- Me : OLYMPICS!!

That's so touching! 😭

Once again, Studio Ponoc has proven to be a worthy successor of Studio Ghibli. I look forward to their next movie, the Imaginary.

I don't know why but I feel like crying when I saw this awhile ago and to be honest, this 8 min video has a lot a meaning to it that I would've imagine. Great job on this one!

Yoshiaki Nishimura made another great film!

Opening Ceremony might had been a mess but at least Ghibli delivered with this.

idk why i cried watching this

People have such creative minds, loved it 😍

I’m so excited for the opening ceremony, will be watching from east coast, USA at 7am!

It would be so cool if this was added during the ceremony

Absolutely wonderful 🥺💖

I know it’s not the main point, but I really love how they causally included various Olympic events in their journey, especially with the team sports with all the different forms of passing and tossing a ball. It’s such a cool detail.

Who here is looking forward to the Opening Ceremony?

i was holding back my feels the whole time ;w; this is so amazing. sad we cannot be there in person for Olympics 2020 but its very much alive online at least

I don't know why but, I cried T v T The animation is very beautiful, almost studio ghibli level but~ ALMOST.

I like how they representing some of the sports in this video that each of the main character master it well

Such magic in this segment. Extraordinary!

Very deep Meaningful introduction .

Gosh, I’m just so ready for another studio Ghibli film. I know there’s over 8 films, but still that doesn’t feel like enough.

Why did this motivate me to watch the Olympics more? And why is there 8-FRICKIN-9 DISLIKES?! TURN THAT TO A ZERO RN!!

This is so well done. absolutely stunning. i love the sports that they referenced

What a remarkable Olympics. keep up the spirit Tokyo - all world is with you. Lots of love and prayers from people of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Anyone else get some Serious Studio Ghibli vibes?? I'm loving it too!

It's TOKYO OLYMPICS !!! 😂😂🌪🔥💧⛰️ ❄

All we need is a magical lettuce to save the world 😌

when u realize the Olympics is held in Japan, thats why they have these Studio Ghibli and anime style..... ohhhhh after finishing watching the whole thing

BRO ONLY 300,000 VIEWS?? THIS IS AMAZING!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN

Bruh, why did this make me cry

Looks like Pokemon mixed with Studio Ghibli! 😍

Criminally underviewed, interesting environmental message.

What kind of masterpiece is this? Amazing job, as expected from the tomorrow leaves of studio ghibli...

This needs more views tbh
