Description

The Anime Art of Hayao Miyazaki explores the visual conventions and techniques that have made Hayao Miyazaki's animated films so enduringly popular. This critical study begins by examining the roots of Japanese animation, from manga to traditional cel animation, before delving into Miyazaki's own early work in comic books and his development of Studio Ghibli. The book then focuses on the Studio Ghibli era, analyzing the director's productions between 1984 and 2004, including Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, and Howl's Moving Castle. The study also covers other notable films produced by Studio Ghibli, such as Grave of the Fireflies and The Cat Returns. Additional information on Studio Ghibli's merchandise production, Miyazaki's global fan base, and the work of other Ghibli directors can be found in the appendices.
