Last November's NHK TV documentary, Hayao Miyazaki: The Never-Ending Man, has recently been released on DVD in Japan. The disc retails for just over 4,100 Yen, which currently translates to $36 USD.
The program detailed the latest exploits of director Miyazaki as he was working on the Ghibli Museum short film Boro the Caterpillar, and famously revealed that plans were underway for another feature film. That film project is now well underway, and Studio Ghibli is once again waking up to begin a three-year production in October. The title and theme of Miyazaki's new film has yet to be revealed (and, no, it's not Boro).
Unfortunately, this DVD does not include English subtitles. Ghibli is the rare company that includes English subs on their DVDs and Blu-Rays. Nearly everybody else is a bit stingier. Hopefully, we will one day see this program included as a bonus feature once the next Miyazaki film arrives on Super-Mega-Ultra-HD-Turbo format, or however we will be watching movies five years from now.
