Product Description

Synopsis

The thought-provoking, aesthetically pleasing animated films of Hayao Miyazaki attract audiences well beyond the director's native Japan. "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away" were critically acclaimed upon U.S. release, and the earlier "My Neighbor Totoro" and "Kiki's Delivery Service" have found popularity with Americans on DVD. This critical study of Miyazaki's work begins with an analysis of the visual conventions of manga, Japanese comic books, and anime; an overview of Japanese animated films; and a consideration of the techniques deployed by both traditional cell and computer animation. This section also details Miyazaki's early forays into comic books and animation, and his output prior to his founding of Studio Ghibli. Part Two concentrates on the Studio Ghibli era, outlining the company's development and analyzing the director's productions between 1984 and 2004, including "Castle in the Sky", "My Neighbor Totoro" and his newest film, "Howl's Moving Castle". The second section also discusses other productions involving Studio Ghibli, including "Grave of the Fireflies" and "The Cat Returns".

Appendices supply additional information about Studio Ghibli's merchandise production, Miyazaki's global fan base, and the output of other Ghibli directors.

Not an art portfolio 8 July 2007
Format:Paperback
Beware: If you are looking for a general art portfolio on Myazaki this is not it.

For that you'll have to make do with thr five Studio Ghibli "Art of..." books.

This is cover to cover text only - no illustration.

It is more of a book about Myazaki and his films.

This book isn't an art book with pictures, in fact it has not got any pictures at all but don't let that sway you!

If you are studying Hayao Miyazaki's work or just a keen fan I strongly recommend this book. Aside from a die heart fan, I am currently working on a study of Hayao Miyazaki and this book is an excellent resource. Discussing themes, cinematic and artistic techniques (amongst others) of his films and other noteworthy projects.

This book covers his work from "Early years" to pre Ghibli works, his Ghibli films (up to "Howl's Moving Castle" [2004]) and other projects outside of Ghibli which he has made a contribution. This book also has a listing of useful websites and a large bibliography to help with further reading.

It is suitable for beginners because it usefully outlines particular differences in narrative and technique to Western filmmaking and other such artistry (including manga and anime) under its "Frame of Reference" chapter. It also makes many comparisons to the Disney works which is both helpful and interesting.

The only down fall I found is some of the language used however that is due to my reading ability and shouldn't scare you off. Everything is easily set out and extremely well written.

Overall this book is a gripping read and excellent if you want to explore the genius behind Miyazaki's enchanting work.

I sent this back. 6 Aug 2006
By Cricket McGehee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This looks to be a well written and researched book. However, when I purchase art books I want loads of illustrations. I want to be able to refer to the artwork with out having to pop in a dvd. This book contains NO ARTWORK. Hayao Miyazaki is an amazing artist and director. I would love to own a book on his work. This just wasn't what I had dreamed of.

Where's the Art? 21 Aug 2007
By Noël Lee - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
How could you write a book about the anime art of Hayao Miyazaki without one single illustration??? Someone else mentioned a DVD, but there's no DVD with my book.
