I just got my copy of the Japanese Joe Hisaishi in Budokan – Miyazaki Anime to Tomo ni Ayunda 25 Nenkan Blu-ray Disc that not only includes the incredible anniversary concert of Hayao Miyazaki’s favourite composer Joe Hisaishi but also a nice surprise for those of us who cry themselves to sleep every night because there’s still no Studio Ghibli film available on Blu-ray Disc.
The bonus feature consists of selection of music videos with scenes taken from some of Hayao Miyazaki’s masterworks (sadly not from Totoro, Laputa and Spirited Away) in HD quality! While these videos have been encoded in 1920×1080i and sometimes show compression artifacts and edge enhancement effects (especially Kiki), they are the closest thing to a Blu-ray Disc preview for Studio Ghibli films we currently have. So this is what we can at least expect quality wise for next year when the studio starts to

Apart from being one of the best directors in the world, Hayao Miyazaki is also worth listening to. That is because the man is known for not beating about the bush, and when he says something he can be uncommonly candid in describing his taste and distaste of things.
This lack of sugarcoating is thankfully also applied when he talks about himself, as is apparent in his 500 page-long book “Starting Point: 1979 - 1996”.
This is a collection of columns and essays by Miyazaki in which he covers his work in animation, his founding of studio Ghibli, the state of animation worldwide and the creation of many of his masterworks.
During the period described here Hayao Miyazaki directed “Lupin III: the Catle of Cagliostro”, “Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind”, “Laputa: Castle in the Sky”, “My neighbour Totoro”, “Kiki’s Delivery Service” and “Porco Rosso”, and helped produce many more.
So rest
