Aaaaaaaand the Hipster Hayao strikes again.

Stop assuming others are ignorant because they state a wish to see/watch something. You're the one being ignorant and offensive. My comment simply means Im happy about a movie that hopefully will have some of the themes of the movies mentioned in a setting of today, and yyes I think those two movies are Miyazakis best works, I didnt state any facts. So pls dont be a jerk.

ah... Ponyo second season.

I'm curious to see how it turns out.

I was wondering how the Earthquake would affect Japanese Animation. Hopefully, we'll see a lot more conscious and imaginative anime like the period after WW2.

He's actually talking to this part of your post: "bring great story telling back.", although he's probably exaggerating that part of your post.

@Daimyo

I don't know. The March 11 quake is really incomparable to World War II. However, the 1995 Kobe quake did awaken some renowned writers of that time, but not at the scale of WWII.

That said, a certain sci-fi writer whose biography I watched in NHK World last night was considerably a hater of anime and manga writing when Lum Invader is still very famous.

I'm quite disappointed that bestsellers couldn't acknowledge manga and anime writers as equals. I'm smelling elitism.

I think it has to do with a lot of what this generation's anime/manga writers are putting on the table. A lot of moe, loli, fanservice rich content. All eye candy very little substance.

The stuff sells well so most of the fans are content. However, at the same time it almost gives a negative stigma to the platform as a whole. They're seriously aren't many japanese manga/anime writers today like Go Nagai or Leiji Matsumoto who are willing to think outside the box.

Not to discredit Rumiko Takahashi and her extensive anime library in anyway, but a lot of what she promotes is typically the same thing presented in a slightly package.

Well, the anime industry is still suffering from all kinds of shit thrown at them (the March 11 earthquake, instability of economies across the globe, and that idiotic Ishihara's wishes to destroy anime and manga), and they need to at least earn a decent buck to live through this.

You can't really blame them. If only things were more stable, there would have been more decent titles on the season lineup. Right now, we just have to learn to trust the industry.

Although I can't trust Miyazaki "saving anime" soon.
He needs to change that "fuck technology" ideology of his and help inspire the minds of the newer generation.

Afraid....But excited...

anything from Ghibli is better than the crap these days.

This is going to be interesting... Can't wait!

Realism huh, well I welcome it considering what he's done in the past. A bit concerned but I'm sure he can pull it off.

Wonder what it will be.

This actually sound good. Maybe I'll be able to enjoy a Miyazaki film then.

Going with the flow I see.
