banger book the only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is the fact that arrietty only gets mentioned twice but that's just personal bias

Kiva opas Studio Ghiblin maailmaan. Kirjassa on testejä ja neuvoja miten esimerkiksi piirtää Totoro tai kuinka tehdä lennokki. Kirjassa on myös paljon muuta tietoa. Pidin kirjan lyhyistä mutta riittävän informatiivisista tekstiosuuksista, kuvista sekä selkeästä ja houkuttelevasta ulkonäöstä ja sisällön sijoittelusta.

Very cute illustrated and with great studio ghibli inspired diy and cooking ideas. I love browsing through the colourful pages but hoped for more information on the movies i like, which aren’t as popular. Though I did get inspired to check out Marnie.

Quality Rating: Four Stars
Enjoyment Rating: Four Stars

A lovely illustrated guide perfectly designed for young readers to learn more about Studio Ghibli's work. With fun little activities and the cutest moments and characters recreated on the pages, it's an enjoyable read for fans of the animations and fills a gap in the young cinephile's collection (I would've read this to pieces as a kid).

Short, to-the-point with trivia here and there, as well as plenty of visualisation, and small activity breaks, this book is made by fans and for the fans.

But, as expected, it is mostly Miyazaki and the more popular productions. I do appreciate the shout for the scores of Takahata's Princess Kaguya though.

Should be a nice read for kids and teens. 3.5 stars actually.

This is a great book to introduce children to Studio Ghibli. The book is lively and colorful. It gives you an overview of the main people behind the animation. The book also gives you information about the movies that a have come out of Studio Ghibli. I found the book fun and entertaining. I loved the illustrations that were on every page.

It’s a great and short inside look into the world of studio Ghibli. I’ve also read their Ghibliotheque, which was awesome too.

You can't say anything else, good print quality, obviously it's not up to date until 2023, but most of them are still great movies.

I bought this guide when I became a Studio Ghibli fan. It was the first one I found with beautiful illustrations and in Spanish. It's a quick read, not too long.

there's a reason this is unofficial - it isn't very good

If you’re a Studio Ghibli fan, this is such a good read. I want to watch more movies & I want to visit Japan already 😜
