Muy buen libro, un agasajo el leerlo.
El libro llegó rápido, y en buen estado. Es un buen libro donde se comenta los detalles de las películas de Hayao miyasaki desde el punto de vista de alguien que estuvo cerca en diferentes etapas. El libro viene en inglés.

The Giant new creators stand on
A fascinating assembly of insights from the master who describes himself as a bundle of contradictions. Seeing his insights throughout the years is a rich read. It's enhanced my appreciation of his work and 9f the man himself. Miyazaki may be the most honest and significant creator in the industry right now.

Bastante Informação
Ótima compilação dos primeiros textos desse grande gênio. Aborda desde questões técnicas de animação até a materias mais filosóficas. Deveria com toda a certeza ser traduzido para o português.

Thought-Provoking Read, But Slight Concern About Book Condition
The delivery from Amazon was prompt and well-packaged, as expected. No complaints on that front. As for the book itself — Starting Point is a gem for anyone interested in storytelling, animation, and the creative mind of Hayao Miyazaki. His thoughts are honest, deep, and incredibly inspiring. A must-read for artists and dreamers alike. Truly admire the writer's ability to articulate such layered philosophy in such a grounded way. However, I did notice a few signs that made the book feel slightly used — faint creases and minor wear on the cover. While it doesn’t affect the content, I just expected a more pristine condition for a new purchase. Overall, still a fantastic buy for the wisdom inside. Worth it for Miyazaki fans and creatives.
