About the Author

Hayao Miyazaki is one of Japan’s most beloved animation directors. In 2005 he was awarded the Venice International Film Festival’s Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement, and his Studio Ghibli received the festival’s Osella Award for overall achievement in 2004. Miyazaki’s films include Spirited Away, winner of the 2002 Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature Film, as well as Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle, and Ponyo, all of which have received great acclaim in the U.S. Miyazaki’s other achievements include the highly regarded manga series Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and Starting Point: 1979-1996, a collection of essays, interviews, and memoirs that chronicle his early career and the development of his theories of animation. Both are published in English by VIZ Media.

Overall good
It came with slight damaging on the cover and wavy pages. Other than that everything's perfect.Would highly suggest improving packaging as the book came with no protection whatsoever and probably the movement of the book inside the box is what damaged it.Still, amazing artbook, I'll always recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars Relive the movie through the art
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2003

Although I am not a big anime fan in general, I am a huge fan of Miyazaki Hayao's work. The highlight of his movies and comic books is usually the story itself, but in the case of Spirited Away, I think it would be fair to say that the sheer beauty and imagination of the film is just as amazing as the story itself.
For me, Spirited Away was by far the first, and to date only, animated movie that I could call visually stunning. The viewer, be he or she 5, 25, or 65 is as drawn into Miyazaki's world as the protagonist Chihiro is. This book allows you to revisit the movie through its art. Full of concept sketches, character designs, and backgrounds from the movie, this book also includes an introduction by Miyazaki himself as well as frequent commentary by the artists that worked on this film and even an explanation of some of the technology that helped make this such a visually appealing film. The book's price may seem a bit steep, but at around 250 full color, high quality pages I felt I more than got my money's worth.
There has been talk of Miyazaki retiring, but I hope this is not the case. With Spirited Away gaining such popular and critical acclaim in the United States, I hope he continues to work his magic for years to come, continuing to make his impression left not only on Japan, but to the global audience. With the increase in animation technology and the continuing strength of Miyazaki's imagination and storytelling power, it seems that the best is yet to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Studio Ghibli!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
This book is a no-brainer for fans of Studio Ghibli. All others can take a pass, but aficionados will appreciate all that went into this book. It is put together with loving care and will make any interested reader quite happy. My teen daughter thinks is great and I can appreciate all of the attention and care that went into creating this tome from a graphic designer's perspective. For the right person, this book is a big win. All others may enjoy the art and history, but just won't feel the same reverence for the subject matter.

 Juro que é o artbook mais lindo que eu já vi, é maravilhoso, a qualidade da impressão é impecável, e os concepts são minhas partes favoritas, os pensamentos pra chegar nas cenas, na coloração, a digitalização, é tudo muito incrível.

Um artbook de verdade, que agrega como artista, como expectador, não é só um compilado de screenshots do filme, é genial.

Me encanta la película y por eso lo compré. La edición es una pasada, con buen papel, tapa dura, cantidad de dibujos y fotografías, el único problema (que no es ninguno si sabes inglés) es que está en inglés y no he leído el texto porque me lleva mucho tiempo el traducir. Pero el libro es una pasada, si te gusta la película o simplemente el mundo Ghibli es un libro imprescindible, o si te gusta dibujar.
