Those eight Miyazaki-directed movies and most of the other Steelbook Editions in Shout Factory’s Ghibli catalog follow the same design aesthetic: a vibrant, solid background color with character art in the middle (as shown above). The Boy and the Heron and Grave of the Fireflies are the exceptions to this rule. The Boy and the Heron, the first and only Studio Ghibli movie on 4K Blu-ray, depicts a full scene on its steelbook cover. The Boy and the Heron’s 4K Steelbook Edition is discounted to $28 (was $45). Shout Factory took the same approach with Grave of the Fireflies when the 1989 film returned to Blu-ray this summer after being out of print for years. Grave of the Fireflies Steelbook Edition is discounted to an all-time low price of $17.89 (was $27).

The cheapest Studio Ghibli Steelbook Edition at the moment is Earwig and the Witch for $10. If you haven’t watched it, just know the 2020 film ditches Studio Ghibli’s distinct visual style in favor of rather generic 3D animation. It’s widely considered the worst Ghibli movie. We also included The Castle of Cagliostro’s upcoming Steelbook Edition on the list above. While it’s not a Ghibli movie–it released before Studio Ghibli existed–the 1979 animated film was Hayao Miyazaki’s directorial debut. The Castle of Cagliostro Steelbook Edition is exclusive to Crunchyroll and releases December 14.
