O my goodness i simply loved how Miyazaki used the storm 1:43 , as a foreshadowing of a tragic moment to come. Artistic mind this man has... the aesthetics is apparent.
A great find! I'm curious, though, if this is the entire pilot film, or merely a segment. It's common for pilots to play through several segments, like a highlight reel of where the animators want to go (like the original 1969 Lupin pilot). Thanks for sharing!
This was all that was ever released. It was shown for the first time ever in a thirty-minute special, entitled, "Sen to Chihiro wo sembai tanoshimu houhou" (How to enjoy Spirited Away a thousandfold) that aired on the evening of the world broadcast premeire of Spirited Away.
It's pretty good, despite some static animation sequences. And, though rather truthfully based on a Chiba Tetsuya manga, it seems to have some of Miyazaki's trademarks, such as a spunky heroine, and pigs.

By the way, when you uploaded it, you cut off the guy's last word. Could you please reupload?

Miyazaki in his TMS days...shweet.
It really could have been a hard hitter, but damn this is one of the reasons why I prefer a lot of older anime.

Yeah what's with the pig motif? Are they Miyasaki's favourite animal or something?

He does indeed have a fondness for pigs, and has remarked on their resemblance to human beings (though I don't know the exact quote).

This is Miyazaki's first work as solo director, having co-directed most of the first Lupin III series with Isao Takahata in 1971.
