Now it’s never too late to get your hands on these once theater-only pieces of Ghibli memorabilia.
How Do You Live? earned more in its opening weekend than some of Ghibli’s most celebrated films, but how does it compare to other anime movie hits?
Acclaimed anime director’s first film in 10 years drew big audiences on opening day, despite the surprising lack of promotion.
Hayao Miyazaki’s latest movie will be in theaters soon, but one standard piece of anime merchandise won’t.
Toshio Suzuki also discusses how Ghibli has stayed in business without releasing a theatrical feature in almost a decade and whether this is Miyazaki’s final film.
Friday Road Show and Ghibli Exhibition is different from studio’s past art events, Ghibli co-founder says.
My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Howl’s Moving Castle and Spirited Away are all represented in this show-stopping new collection.
Studio Ghibli teams up with classic Tokyo menswear company for stylish collection arriving in time for Father’s Day.
One poster and the title is all you’re getting before How Do You Live? hits theaters, and producer Toshio Suzuki explains why.
Toshio Suzuki exhibit comes to southern city for the first time, with new merch along for the ride.
Shirts take inspiration from memorable sights at Tokyo’s Ghibli Museum, offered in both adult and kid sizes.
