I have to admit, I didn't read all the lengthier annotations from the production team, but I did skim through most of the writing in the book. But I will be constantly going back to this book, so I will read them all in due time!

This is an amazing book, suitable to anyone who loved the movie and would be interested in seeing some behind the scene stills. It quickly becomes obvious how detailed the animation process was, and how hard Studio Ghibli worked on this movie. I was surprised when I stumbled upon two pages dedicated to transport and pedestrians - seemingly miniscule details only present at the beginning of the movie. Earlier sketches of characters also show how much the ideas were pushed and developed. I could go on and on, but I think one should discover it for themselves as it's an experience in itself (just as much as the movie is).

As an artist myself, I immensely enjoyed looking and reading through this magnificent book. I think it will also be helpful to look through whenever I need motivation with my Illustration degree coursework. Highly recommend!
