Right at your door 2006

After that magazine moment, Miyazaki hasnt told much more on his thoughts of Tezuka and his work, though this time he revealed that he was unspeakably much stunned by Shin Takarajima New Treasure Island, 1947 which he read when he was 7 years old.

It showed us a quite different world and we felt the black curtain ahead of us clearly opened.
