| 2. | Introduction to Key Exhibition Areas |
| (1) | About "Animage": "Animage" is Japan's first officially published commercial anime magazine, launched by Tokuma Shoten on May 26, 1978. As a pioneer in the anime magazine industry, it not only delves into behind-the-scenes stories and industry trends but also features interviews with creators and production teams, along with exclusive preview images that delight fans. Notably, the animated film adaptation of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" became the catalyst for the establishment of Studio Ghibli. Now, after 45 years, "Animage" magazine remains an important bridge connecting anime works and fans. |
| (2) | Secrets of Studio Ghibli's Founding Revealed: "Animage" magazine has a deep connection to the establishment of Studio Ghibli. In this exhibition, visitors will get a glimpse into how "Animage" brought together animation masters Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, and how Toshio Suzuki played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in the phenomenal success and box office triumph of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind." |
| (3) | The Birth of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind": In this area, visitors will discover the story behind the creation of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," learning how "Animage" magazine began with the manga serialization and gradually led to the film's big-screen adaptation. From creation sketches to film production, this section takes you behind the scenes of this legendary creation. |
| (4) | Beloved Nausicaä: This section also allows you to get up close with the enduringly popular protagonist of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" – Nausicaä. We are specially exhibiting her iconic attire from the Sea of Corruption, as well as a life-sized Ohmu from the story, immersing you in this world of fantasy and adventure. |
| (5) | The Birth of "Castle in the Sky": This area takes you back to 1985, the moment Studio Ghibli was founded. Following the release of "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," the studio launched its first work, "Castle in the Sky." At the time, Toshio Suzuki served as both magazine editor-in-chief and a member of Studio Ghibli, playing a pivotal role in the animation industry. Here, in addition to special feature reports, a 2-meter long flying machine model designed by Hayao Miyazaki before the release of "Castle in the Sky" will be exhibited for the first time. This model, which appeared in a Maxell advertisement, has been perfectly preserved for 34 years. |
| (6) | World Premiere! Large-scale 3D Scenery, Immerse Yourself in the Animated World: Starting with the Catbus passing through an "Animage" magazine cover, this area allows fans to step directly into animated scenes for photos, as if they are in the world of Ghibli animations, creating precious memories. To perfectly capture the unique atmosphere of popular Ghibli animations, Studio Ghibli has specially sent a professional team to Taiwan to create exclusive photo opportunities for the world premiere! Classic scenes from "My Neighbor Totoro," "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," "Castle in the Sky," and "Kiki's Delivery Service" can become your magazine cover moments – don't miss out! |
| (7) | More Than Just Ghibli, Igniting the Japanese Anime Craze: In the late 1970s, as the anime boom was in full swing, "Animage" fully supported popular TV animations like "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Creamy Mami, the Magic Angel," dedicating extensive coverage to them. This exhibition also showcases a large collection of sketches, precious original illustrations, and posters from that era. You can also see miniature realistic scenes of Gundam models, allowing everyone to look back at the history of these works and feel the anime craze that still influences us today! |
