No hard feelings as anime movie wins award for only the second time ever, but does this mean more anime Oscars are on the way?
There are as many factors working in the Hayao Miyazaki movie’s favor as there are working against it on the path to becoming the second-ever Academy Award-winning anime.
Independent era comes to an end for Hayao Miyazaki’s studio, but it could be the start of a happy future.
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?
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.
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.
Hayao Miyazaki has spent over US$2 million to save the forest where Totoro was born, but needs more help.
