In 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".
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. 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. == References ==
