Reception
editIn a review for Strange Horizons, writer A. S. Moser critiqued Greenberg's 2018 reference work Hayao Miyazaki: Exploring the Early Work of Japan's Greatest Animator. Moser appreciated the detailed analysis given to Hayao Miyazaki's filmography, but felt that the book lacked balance in its attempts to be a broader reference work, concluding that it was "well-researched, if sometimes tedious".[4] International Institute for Asian Studies reviewer Mari Nakamura called the work a "must-read" for follower's of Miyazaki's, considering it accessible for a wider audience while also providing elaborate commentary on the main aspects of his films, such as Miyazaki's inspirations and stylistic influences.[5] British animation writer Helen McCarthy found the work "charming, thorough, and accessible", and felt that Greenberg places Miyazaki's filmography within the wider cultural context of his early animations.[2]
