Why Hayao Miyazaki Has Withdrawn His Retirement From Anime

Miyazaki plans to title the film Kimitachi wa Dou Ikiru Ka. The title is translated into English as “How are You Living?” or “How Do You Live?”. Journalist Genzaburo Yoshino wrote the 1937 book which gives the film its title. Yoshino was the chief editor of the progressive magazine, Sekai. Miyazaki said that the film will include a protagonist whose life has been influenced by this specific book.

Yoshino’s book tells the story of how a teenage boy grows psychologically due to the experiences he shares with his uncle and his friends. Miyazaki’s film will reach younger audiences, as did Yoshino’s books for children. Miyazaki has said that the project will take three to four years to complete. According to some accounts, Miyazaki’s grandson should be a teenager by the time the film is released.
