I've been watching the 4 part documentary '10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki' recently and found it interesting and enlightening. (https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/10yearshayaomiyazaki/)
The extent to which Studio Ghibli is Hayao Miyazaki was not clear to me. Despite the hundreds of people involved the degree to which he is the origin of art, ideas, quality, and drive is astounding.
Oh what a treat that was, thank you for the link to "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki". Looking forward to "Never Ending Man".
I'm not a fan of manga or "anime" per se, there's a ton of mediocre and mass-produced stuff. But as someone of Japanese heritage, I feel fortunate to have experienced some of the history and culture of manga books and animated films, as they blossomed after WWII - on occasions they achieve sublime expression as visual story telling.
I watched "10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki" [1] recently, besides knowing his stubborn character and artist life, and the work they do at Studio Ghibli is pretty outstanding, as terms of time, effort and dedication. There is also an indie movie, "Never Ending Man" [2] they shot after he suddenly announced his retirement at the age of 72, but later came back with his first CGI project. Years of hand-drawing, an old man through his digital transformation
Studio Ghibli also released all their posters and stills [3] from its animations.
