Studio Ghibli: The films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata

Haven't finished reading it yet. So probably I'll be writing another review later on too, but so far I love it. Great insight to the Ghibli world. 😊

Este libro no cumplió con mis expectativas porque no tiene ninguna imagen y eso no se podía saber en la información que Amazon proporciona

Very interesting read!

English below 授業の教材として必要だったので購入しました。全部のチャプターは読んでいませんが、ジブリ作品の分析が書かれて面白い内容でした。作品を見たことがない人へ向けて、大まかなあらすじも書かれていますが、やはり内容を知っていた方がより面白いと思います。しかし、目次がなく、どこにどの作品が書かれているのか探すのに苦労しました。 I purchased this book as a textbook for a lecture. I don't all chapter though, I enjoyed the contents because the contents are about analysis of works of Studio Ghibli. Although the writer tells summary of story, I guess you can enjoy the book more if you already know the story. However, a point I don't like that the book does not have a index page. It is very difficult to find the chapter quickly you want to read.

This was a very well researched and well written overview of the films of Studio Ghibli, and also the earlier films of the two premier directors, Miyazaki Hayao and Takahata Isao. I have been a fan of their animated films for years, and I learned a great deal from this book. For instance, I didn't know that Gauche the Cellist was a story by Miyazawa Kenji, author of Night on the Galactic Railroad. I found out quite a bit of information on the background of many of their films, which makes watching them much more interesting. It is not an in-depth study, but is a great overview of their works. It kind of paved the way for me to read Miyazaki's "Starting Point."
