@batfos Studio Ponoc was founded by former members of Studio Ghibli after Hayao Miyazaki retired in 2014. Mary and the Witch's Flower is their first feature film.

@mikedmeyer The character is 14, which I think would still make sense for it to be frowned upon, especially if you consider how sexualized vampirism is frequently portrayed. It's hard to say how well they will adapt this change since the episodes with Claudia aren't out yet, but from what I've seen in the trailers and such, her acting and styling make her seem juvenile enough to not seem like a 19 year old. You also have to remember that she has to eventually play a very old adult character in a minor's body, and this casting gives them the option to do things that they maybe otherwise couldn't if they got an actual minor to play her.

@andcbii Thanks, I had added it to the wrong list, fixed now!
