This special issue is a condensed guide to Hayao MIYAZAKI's universe. It offers a 30-page article on Miyazaki, the man, his work and his world! It is covering all the major movies he worked on (particularly his latest: Sen To Chihiro no Kamikakushi, aka Spirited Away, but also Cagliostro Castle, Nausicaa, Laputa: Castle In The Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco Rosso, and Mononoke Princess), the first TV series he directed (Future Boy Conan), the last TV series he worked on (Sherlock Hound), his manga (Nausicaa, Shuna no Tabi), some little known works (On Your Mark, Little Nemo), his museum, and his collaborators (Isao Takahata, Joe Hisaishi). It is not exhaustive, but it provides the essentials, just to introduce readers to the subject and interest them in researching it more. This issue also provides our usual overview of the Anime World (an interview with voice actor Angora Deb, reports on conventions KatsuCon and Anime Central as well as the Modern Japanese Music Datanase Part 16), many reviews (of 1 book, 4 live-action movies, 27 manga, 2 model kits and 52 anime) and the latest news. Finally, this issue offers a better quality printing and paper. [ Shipped between September 4^th and September 9^th, 2002 ]
