Legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki and his team at Studio Ghibli are working on another anime movie, How Do You Live? Here's everything fans need to know about the upcoming film, including its release date, streaming details, and more. After six decades and numerous acclaimed projects to his name, Hayao Miyazaki is all set for his last directorial venture How Do You Live?, releasing later this year. In production for nearly a decade, the upcoming Japanese animated film is unarguably the most anticipated project from the celebrated filmmaker and artist and is set to have its debut showing this summer.
Written and directed by Miyazaki, the film is said to be a “grand fantasy" and is inspired by the eponymous 1937 novel by Genzaburo Yoshino, but it is not a direct adaptation. The film tells the coming-of-age story of a young boy, as he explores his emotional and philosophical development following the death of his father, in an original concept. Titled in Japanese as Kimitachi wa Dō Ikiru ka, How Do You Live? marks Miyazaki’s 11th feature film and 10th film with Studio Ghibli, the film’s production banner.
The film has been in production since 2016 after the Japanese filmmaker announced his retirement for the second time in 2013 but decided to showcase his prolific artistry once more with one last film. Almost a decade of work and several artists later, the film is finally inching toward completion, with its release right around the corner. So get ready to be tugged at your heartstrings as you set out on yet another fantastical journey with Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.
