You don't need to rely on somebody else to do all the work for you. If some people would have list them down, than I may remember who he is and what movie he makes. That will be a diffrent outcome. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
VanishingKira said: Where is the source that he said the movie Kaze Tachinu is not his last movie?? Because I do not recall him saying that.Knew it'd happen eventually.I remember him being ask if Kaze Taichinu was going to be his last movie before retiring and him saying it wasn't so I guess he lied. |

| My main concern for now is; what will become of Ghibli after his retirement? Ghibli is easily the best anime studio in my book and i always love every single of their animated films. Not sure that anyone else on the studio is capable of actually replacing Miyazaki's position considering he's the very soul of Ghibli itself. On the other hand, i've got pretty much mixed feelings with this news, as Miyazaki had several times stated that he's going to retire after almost every films since Princess Mononoke. Whether this time he's actually consistent or not, is what i've been wondering about. Just realized that he's already 72 years old. |

| this man deserves a standing applause...so many memories...so many emotions..all due to him. I hope all the works of the studio continue with his advice. and maybe he will do a tour around the world spreading his word :D |
 |
| But.....but.....is he allowed to do that!!!! |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
Amiluhur said: I don't think this is true. He may have said he "has considered retirement" but this is very different from saying he is "going to retire". So I don't see any consistency issue like you are trying to insinuate. as Miyazaki had several times stated that he's going to retire after almost every films since Princess Mononoke.. |

| I have only seen Kiki's Delivery Service from him, which I thought was okay. So I am kind of indifferent to this. |
| TT.TT such sad news... I hope Goro will follow in his father's footsteps! TT.TT |
| The news only said that he's retiring from creating "feature-length film", and this doesn't preclude him from making other works such as tv series, OVA, etc. Even if he retires for good this time, there's still Makoto shinkai, who's widely hailed as "The next Miyazaki" |
VanishingKira said: The ANN report does not contradict this latest news, so it is absolutely unfair to call him a liar (which is what you were saying when you said "I guess he lied"). In the ANN report he was asked if Kaze Tachinu is his "last testament". The news here is about him not going to make feature-length film. Both can be correct. As Miyazaki said in the ANN article, "last statement" is something to make when you are dying, and he never said that this "last statement" has to be a full length anime movie. It may not even be an anime.symbv said: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-30/hayao-miyazaki/the-wind-rises-is-not-my-final-workWhere is the source that he said the movie Kaze Tachinu is not his last movie?? Because I do not recall him saying that. Although since it's from AAN probably isn't a reliable source. That said, ANN used the phrase "last testament" for the Japanese word 遺言 in the original Japanese news article. 遺言 is more like a "will" and I am not sure "last testament" conveyed the same meaning as clearly. Anyway, with the understanding that the context is about a "will", it should be much easier to understand why Miyazaki would deny Kaze Tachinu is one and why he said it is something to be done when he is dying. |

VanishingKira said: But when you said "he lied", even jokingly, you are giving the false impression he actually said he would retire only not to (like you said) while the fact is he only said he *considered* retiring but he never stated he would retire. This kind of joke just helps spread a false image of what Miyazaki himself actually said. When has Miyazaki ever even come close to "lying" if all he ever said was he had considered retiring???As for saying he lied I meant it in a joking manner and didn't mean to sound like I was insulting him.Cause from what I heard this isn't the first time he said something about retiring only to not retire. VanishingKira said: Well, Studio Ghibli is not just Miyazaki himself, as much as he has a towering presence there. So Ghibli can still make long movies; and Miyazaki may actually help with bits and pieces of the long movies - he only said he is retiring from *making* long movies but helping out in other capacities is still entirely possible.I interpreted this news as him actually retiring,but since it says featured films I guess Studio Ghibli will start making short movies or ovas,cause I can't see them making an actual tv series. Anyway, since Miyazaki himself is going to hold a press conference on the 6th, we may get to hear more about his future plan then. |

| Kiki's delivery service was my first experience with anime , after watching it I remember wanting "more stuff like this" (I didn't know what "anime" was called at the time.). I also remember watching Spirited away on Toonami as a kid. I guess it's time to re-watch both for some good ol nostalgia. It's sad that he won't make long movies anymore but I'm grateful for the works he gave us, can't wait to check out his latest movie. |

| I think the specificity of 'feature length' is actually referring to the fact that Miyazaki has made a decent handful of shorts over his career, and he enjoys being able to do that on his schedule, at his pace, without any pressure. They get small showings at Japanese museums and stuff. As for his retirement, it's definitely hard to comprehend. Miyazaki has been a force in anime since the 70s, and it'll be weird to suddenly not have him around and on the scene. This tidbit caught my attention though: "In an interview on Japanese television channel TBS's Ō-sama no Brunch program, Miyazaki revealed that he is open to the possibility of a Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind film sequel. However, he would leave such a hypothetical project in the hands of Nausicaä key animator and Evangelion director Hideaki Anno. Anno collaborated with Miyazaki and Ghibli on "Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru" (Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo), last year's live-action tokusatsu (special-effects) short, and he then voiced the lead role in Miyazaki's The Wind Rises." It might be time for the new era of Ghibli. Now that Miyazaki is out of the scene, Isao Takahata will surely be right behind him. Which means Ghibli films will be left in the hands of people such as Hideaki Anno, Hiromasa Yonebayashi, and Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro (if he decides he'd rather direct than take care of plants, this is. Apparently he feels his true passion is botany). I can't help but be nervous that the new era of Ghibli will be considerably less consistent. Fingers crossed I'm wrong. |

| Miyazaki movies were pretty "entry-tier" when it came to entering the anime industry. Still, they are an important part of many childhoods when anime was just coming out to America. I didn't find the stories of them that interesting(I liked a couple of them, but some had eh plots), but the animation was glorious at the time. Even today, I still find that they hold up well. |
| The one thing that I'd love to see is a lesbian yandere. |
| The man is 72 years of age, he's done more than enough to deserve a good and peaceful retirement. However, it should be noted that he's just retiring from creating feature films, and I personally think he'll continue drawing until he's at least 80 ;). It wouldn't be odd if he continues to create manga, which may or may not be adapted into anime films by Studio Ghibli. |
| Uh guys, remember that he said he would retire after Princess Mononoke... and Spirited Away... and Howl.... and Ponyo... and Wind Rises... okay, see a pattern here? He's retired at least 5 times, and the dude is 72, which is quite healthy, so I'm sure he'll pump out two more masterpieces before dropping of earth. Takahata on the other hand is 77, going on 78 this year, and his last film was My Neighbours, the Yamadas, which was 14 years ago, so I think Tale of Princess Kaguya is gonna be his Abbey Road. Plus, Miyazaki has said that Wind Rises isn't his last film, so theres hope for more. |

| Excuse me while I go cry in the corner and get nostalgic about Spirited Away. |
| I hope he will continue to help with script and other things then studio Ghibli will manage just fine. |
| But if the arrow is straight And the point is slick It can pierce through dust No matter how thick... |
| Awwww.... It's really sad, but I knew this would happen. I wish him all the best. |

Oh yes, this is actually the biggest controversy of the film in Japan LOLWas it because of the controversies around Kaze Tenchu symbv said: Wow, that's pretty hypocritical, telling him to do research before posting when you sniped at someone when you didn't even understand what they were referring to. People might ask you why you want to reply to someone when you don't know what they're talking about. ...Oh.GoldenthunderBRS said: I guess if you had phrased your first post better like doing some basic research about who he is and how famous he is before jumping into this thread stating "I don't know him and I have never seen his work" the outcome could have been very different. At the end, people would ask why you want to comment if you have no idea who he is?understand me that I just haven't heard him before people. Though in the club someone helped me who he is so please stop going crazy by saying those stuff geeez. fon't need that. I don't think I've ever seen a staff member make such immature and caustic replies. |

rostern said: Finally. I hate most of his movies. Bitch one of your favorite anime's director could be inspired by Miyazaki's works so shut the fuck up. |
| While it's a shame there won't be any chance for more films like Mononoke-hime, Totoro or Howl, it might be a good decision. He got a little repetitive with the same story with same character types just in a different coating. While I was watching my last film from him (probably Laputa) I got bored really fast because I already saw this story and characters in his previous works. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Wise decision, and I'm not talking about (mostly idiotic) controversies. He gave all he can give to the world animation, his retirement at the top of his career can promote emerging directors. I hope Isao Takahata keep making movies for Ghibli the next years and then Hideaki Anno strengthen his collaboration with the studio. |
 |
| That's too bad. But he's getting up in the years and it's certainly not the first time he's contemplated retirement. Hopefully he'll still oversee the Ghibli studio so it can carry on successfully with new blood.

| The only movie i really liked from Miyazaki was Sen to Chihiro, the others i find them boring. Makoto Shinkai is better, IMO. |

Bakura said: The only movie i really liked from Miyazaki was Sen to Chihiro, the others i find them boring. You haven't watched Laputa / Castle in the Sky, haven't you? Makoto Shinkai is great, but he make different works and he hasn't reached his artistic maturity yet, returning too often to his old subjects (dramatic love stories). |
|
| Well, that stinks. Really hope he comes out of retirement soon, if he's feelin up to it. |
chirale said: You haven't watched Laputa / Castle in the Sky, haven't you? Makoto Shinkai is great, but he make different works and he hasn't reached his artistic maturity yet, returning too often to his old subjects (dramatic love stories). No, i havent seen Laputa. But after Howl's Castle and Nausicaa, i lost my interest in Miyasaki. Anyway Kotonoha no Niwa is far better than any Miyasaki's movies and like you said he hasn't reached his artistic maturity yet, i wonder what he could do in future. |
|
| Well, he is so old so I guess this is not so shocking. It's sad if he will really retire. He is a legend and a respectable figure in the animation industry. Hope he enjoy his remaining time in this world. |
| But he is not totally away from anime, right? i'm thankful for all the great works he and Ghibli has done. He'll be back!!!! right? ╯.╰ Hayao ojii-san otsukaresama deshita ! ヅ |
 |
| That is sad - his movies are among my favorites - I always enjoy them. |
 |
| Sad Hoshi is sad. |
| I love his works, some of my favorite movies/animes were done by him. For me, he's like Mr.Anime (just like I Shigeru Miyamoto is Mr.Gaming ), this is a huge blow. =( |
| Welp, that's sad. Grew up watching his films, so I'm definitely gonna miss him. Glad he's not fully retiring though. |
