📚 Coming in August.. Ghiblipedia! After travelling around the globe with our last book, we're returning to Studio Ghibli to present this beautifully illustrated encyclopedia that dives deep into the details of the world's greatest animation studio. Now available to pre-order!

📽️ - Paprika + Panel Discussion 🎟️ - Picturehouse Central, London 📅 - 7pm, Mon 26 October See you there, dream detectives! picturehouses.com/movie-deta…

I played matchmaker and brought together @picturehouses and @gollancz for a special screening + discussion event to mark both the 20th anniversary of Satoshi Kon's PAPRIKA *and* the publication of a new translation of Yasutaka Tsutsui's original novel. 7pm, Mon 26th October!

On Saturday 10th, as part of my Film in Print programme at the @BFI London Film Festival, I'm interviewing Helen McCarthy about her pioneering work exploring the worlds of manga and anime. Tickets are free but space is limited. Don't miss out! whatson.bfi.org.uk/lff/Onlin…

Os mostramos en detalle #Ghiblipedia, un nuevo volumen creado por @jakehcunningham y @MichaelJLeader, creadores del podcast @ghibliotheque, ¡que ya podéis encontrar en librerías! Una obra que se sumerge en los detalles del mejor estudio de animación del mundo, presentando más de 200 entradas breves llenas de datos sorprendentes e información fascinante. Acompañado con más de 150 fotografías, ilustraciones y capturas, repartidas en siete capítulos temáticos, este es un libro que merece estar en la estantería de todo fan de #Ghibli que se precie. 🎐 f.mtr.cool/zs91jcez6b

📚 2021-2026 📚

Showing THE WRONG TROUSERS at 6.30am at the end of our @picturehouses all-nighter last year might have been where I peaked. It's all been downhill since.

I'm very lucky to have interviewed Nick Park and Peter Lord for the podcast, and we dedicated a whole miniseries to Park's filmography - but there's so much more to delve into. Hope I get to someday.

Goes without saying, but what an institution. So deeply part of the British cultural woodwork that they're equally beloved, ubiquitous and taken for granted.

I reflect on Studio Ghibli's future prospects, and on some of the roads not taken. Might be of interest, @ghibliotheque

📚 We have (another) book out! The Little Guide to Ghibli is our pocket-sized primer on the legendary animation studio. It's packed full of quotes, facts, trivia and behind-the-scenes stories – and a little bit of myth-busting, too. Find it in a good bookshop near you now! 📚

Caricatures by Steve Kyte of Miyazaki, Anno, Oshii and Otomo. From Manga Max #1, 1998.

Time for my daft tradition of posting the acknowledgements page from a new book, because such things need to be shouted about as publicly as possible. No-one works in a vacuum!
