Miyazaki is rather different from a lot of his contemporaries in anime, such as Mamoru Oshii ("Ghost in the Shell") and Katsuhiro Otomo ("Akira" and "Steamboy"), and, certainly, from the makers of shows like "Pokémon," "Digimon," and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" His characters don't have that big-eyed, anime look.
Miyazaki seems to have definite feelings about the world today, in terms of technology and the environment and the effect they have on the way in which we perceive and live life.
Miyazaki doesn't seem to have any problem with being perceived as a director who makes films primarily for children—he just thinks they should be sophisticated, good films in their own right.

 Hayao Miyazaki @ Filmbug
Hayao Miyazaki has forged his own unique style that transcends the limits of both ordinary animation and live-action with dramatic, action-packed narratives; viscerally naturalistic details, characters who evoke poignant emotions and a lyrical beauty that recalls the world of watercolor paintings and dreams.
The film that first brought Miyazaki to international attention was the 1984 "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa)," an eco-fable about a young girl's struggle to survive in a poisoned world inhabited by warring tribes and giant mutant insects.
Miyazaki is currently contemplating his next project, which may well become Ghibli's first of the twenty-first century.

 Hayao Miyazaki
The Japanese eco-fantasist Hayao Miyazaki is an animation magician, a crowd-pleasing storyteller who is also a builder of worlds.
For the gleaming metal and glass surfaces of the "mecha" school, Miyazaki substituted the bulges and bristles, the drifting spores and spurting fluids, of natural phenomena.
The meticulous detailing extends to the way Miyazaki's worlds are constructed, the way the pieces interlock---the plausibly offset stones in an ancient wall, the cottony clumping of leaves at the top of a tree.

 Where the Wild Things Are: The Miyazaki Menagerie - New York Times
Miyazaki is both an extravagant fantasist and an exacting naturalist; as a storyteller, he is an inventor of fables that seem at once utterly new and almost unspeakably ancient.
Their strangeness comes equally from the freshness and novelty he brings to the crowded marketplace of juvenile fantasy and from an unnerving, uncanny sense of familiarity, as if he were resurrecting legends buried deep in the collective unconscious.
The porcine title character in the 1992 film "Porco Rosso," for example, is a dashing Italian pilot from the early days of aviation, and it is just conceivable that he might have a stuttering cousin somewhere on the Warner Brothers lot, looking for a pair of pants to match his blazer.
