The first of a pair of memoirs in collection form, featuring essays, interviews, and even a brief comic on the history of airline food, from the master animator. In the first two decades of his career, filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki laid the groundwork for his legendary movies. Starting Point is a collection of essays, interviews, and memoirs that go back to the roots of Miyazaki's childhood, the formulation of his theories of animation, and the founding of Studio Ghibli. Before directing such acclaimed films as Spirited Away, Miyazaki was just another salaried animator, but with a vision of his own. Follow him as he takes his first steps on the road to success, experience his frustrations with the manga and animation industries that often suffocate creativity, and realize the importance of bringing the childhood dreams of the world to life. Starting Point: 1979-1996 is not just a chronicle of the life of a man whose own dreams have come true, it is a tribute to the power of the moving image.… (mere)
I've struggled to finish this book for months. Not because it's lacking in quality but because it's really hard to read as you would a normal book. It's a chronological mix of all of Miyazaki-san's interviews, magazine articles, production notes, Studio memos and letters to friends as well as personal thoughts written decades ago. It's difficult to read in one sitting. This is a book that requires you to have the right mood to read and always be ready for topic & style changes. If you have the patience for it you'll find nuggets of wisdom and a tiny peak into the mind of a creative genius and the struggles he went through to become one.
I only recommend it to fans of Studio Ghibli, drawing and animation.
Considering the nature of the book, a collection of articles and interviews, it is fragmented and redundant. But definitely recommended for Miyazaki-san's fans. Provides an insight into his mind and his work and creative process. ( )

In the end, that's where we must start from each time. Even in a chaotic, ruined world, there will always be good things and exciting things. As in Nausicaä, "We are like birds, forever going beyond that morning, spitting out blood as we fly."
And come to think of it, when I see Miya-san these days, he tends to quietly tell me, almost in a meditative essay form, about such things as the American bullfrogs that have taken up residence in the pond in the yard, or his visit to the Zenshōen sanitarium for leprosy patients.

The information here (ex. 2009 publication date) pertains to the Cary and Schodt translation of Miyazaki's Starting Point and not to the original Japanese which was published in 1996 as Shuppatsu Ten, 1979–1996 in Japan by Tokuma Shoten [affiliated with Studio Ghibli]. The English translated version also does not have all the content included in the Japanese original (missing about 17 articles).
