Since he first shocked fans with news of his retirement in 2013, Studio Ghibli director and beloved animator Hayao Miyazaki has been back in the studio numerous times, whether it’s just out of habit, to work on his next short animated film, or to prepare for one more full-length animated feature.
And so it seems fitting that the documentary about the man who just can’ t give up animation is titled «Owaranai Hito» — literally “One Who Doesn’ t End.”
The cover of the DVD shows Miyazaki in his natural state of “not ending.”
The documentary, which aired last year as an NHK special, follows the famed director over two years as he worked on «Kemushi no Boro» (Boro the Caterpillar) , the short animation that will be exclusively aired at the Studio Ghibli Museum, and as he moved forward with plans to create another full-length film.
