So, I was at MIT on Thursday and that night around 7pm(est), there was a showing of a movie Mamoru Hosoda (credited to directing Digimon: Our War Game, One Piece movie 6, Summer Wars, Girl who leapt through time, and others) directed called "Wolf Children". Short, no-spoiler summary would be that this girl named Hana meets this man, man turns out to be a werewolf (or "Wolf-Man" as the dialogue explicitly names him with "Ookami-Otoko), she has kids with him (a girl named Yuki and a boy named Ame) then raises them.

It's basically a movie that focuses on the troubles of a
Spoiler
single mother
trying to raise two kids that also happen to be, basically half-breeds; caught between humans and wolves and the troubles they face as they grow up in this world as well, such as that they can't publicly state that they're part-wolf for fear of how anybody they know will react or, what path will they take? will they live as human or wolves?

Well I loved the art style of Digimon, Summer Wars and the Girl who leapt through time. And all pretty decent movies in my opinion. Is this movie available to watch somewhere?

I think a fansub for it got uploaded 'cause I know I saw a picture from it on tumblr and poked fun at it on twitter.

An official release though.. I honestly have no clue; though, I'd be surprised if it didn't get picked up at all.
