So do you and Nidhumper just go channel to channel using technicalities to derail conversations and garner attention? Aww, don't be like that, why can't we all just be butt buddies together? SolvyTwerk4Jesus said: Everything Polygon does CGI for will be good, because Studio means everything. Thats EXACTLY why Photo Kano is just as good as Death Note, and Kyoukai no Kanata is just as good as Fullmetal Panic and Haruhi. I applaud you sir. Well I'm glad we found something we agree on. Kyoukai no Kanata is just as good as Haruhi, after all. |
DerpHole said: Wait the people who made sidonia no kishi are making this new ghibli show? Sidonia no kishi had terrible fps anime is limited animation anyway so the low fps on most CGI anime will continue imo and i just heard this news - http://seventhstyle.com/2014/08/03/studio-ghibli-packs-up-goes-home/ bye bye ghibli |
| I CALLED IT! ;) THESE THIEVES HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR THE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY STOLE BY CLAIMING IT IN THE NAME OF QUALITY ANIMATION! DISGUSTING, THEY SHOULD BE IN PRISON! 50 MILLION DOLLARS PEOPLE!  BUT WE STILL HAVE ONE PIECE AND DBZ WHICH WILL NEAR 100 MILLION IN THE BOX OFFICE :) |

| If this really is the end of Studio Ghibli, then it's a very sad day. They produced some great stuff, and if they stop making movies, it'll be even harder to find Anime this decade that's worth watching at all. |
 |
| Watch them release another film within a year. |
 |
| Rip in peace my hopes and dreams. |

| Well rip my childhood (can't say I like the more recent ones tho) |

| I am a great fan of the studio as Miyazaki is the greatest film director of his generation and the greatest artist the field of animation ever knew. However, the fact is that my top 12 favorite Ghibli movies, 11 came out before 2001. So effectively the studio has not been producing masterpieces for a long time now. Hence, I am not sad by such news because I wouldn't expect masterpieces to come out of the studio even if Miyazaki and Takahata continued to work (just as i did not expect Iron Maiden and Judas Priest to produce new masterpieces so I did not care much when they retired/plan to retire). rateat said: well that sucks :/ Does anyone know if there's a company out there that could possibly replace Ghibli as the next big studio in the industry? You mean big film studio? Maybe Chizu, the studio that Hosoda is running:  They made Wolf Children recently. Boombawks said: I still haven't watched a movie from them yet, which is the best one? Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke would be the best ones for otakus. Totoro and Spirited Away for general audiences and film snobs. |

| They may still come back eventually, but they need to take a step back and restructure. Plenty of great stuff still came out of Disney, after the death of Walt. There are young artists and storytellers, whom given the opportunity could excel. I'm glad they aren't going to drive it into the ground with forced mediocrity. |
 |
| Ghibli is a relic living off on past glories that it has failed to reach again for the past ten years. I don't really care much about what they do or don't at this point. |
| Awh. I loved Ghibli movies. I'm gonna miss them. |
 |
| ive only watched "my neighbour totoro" it was alright i guess the company did well while it lasted |
 |
| But like, don't they still broadcast that TV series? So that will be their last? |

| End of an era... |
| Given how Princess Kaguya was recieved, it's better for them to quit with dignity rather than fall into mediocrity. |
  |
| Howl, spirited away and mononoke where the only ones I really liked. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| At least we have Satoshi Kon, as well to take his place. |
"Rejoice, fellow otakus. We no longer have to have their mediocre movies serve as the flagship of the anime industry." |
| Well that sucks. |
 |
| Well that fucking sucks Ghibli movies are the best. |
| It was a good run for Miyazaki, he better end on a high note at this point in time. Also, it was pretty hilarious seeing Solvite throwing a fit at the beginning of this topic. Very entertaining indeed. |

Very entertaining indeed. Yea, unlike Ponyo, and Howl's Moving Castle sigh. What crap those two were, lets hope his last movie ends up being awesome, like we have come to expect from him, and not like those two films. |

| Good, all those movies are overrated as hell. It's like if Square Enix decided to stop making Final Fantasy 15-16-17 and just make 7-1, 7-2, 7-3 |
 |
| old news is old? |
| They're still making anime, just not movies anymore. That being said, *sigh*. |
| Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.). Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!) Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics. Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it. Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something... |

| Strange reading this topic. When I first signed up for this site back in 2008 and mentioned my dislike of the Studio Ghibli productions I had seen, people reacted as if I had confessed to killing dogs for fun. Six years later, reading through this topic, it appears many other anime fans are less than impressed with Ghibli. To the point where it's even the majority view instead of an extreme minority one. That being said, them shutting down is not good. Most likely, it's a sign that either the anime industry as a whole is less profitable, or that anime movies with expensive, high-level animation (and whatever else I might dislike about Ghibli, their work IS gorgeous) are no longer economically feasible. And neither one of those is good for the industry. |

High level animation? lol XD 50 MILLION DOLLARS! this is criminal.  |

Furthermore, there are Hollywood movies with a budget 2-3 times as large (live action as well as animated) that look ugly as fuck. Ghibli's animators are talented, if not their writers/directors. skudoops said: YoungVagabond said: Strange reading this topic.

Yeah, same happened to me to, but I think we are still a minority at this point, and people are just being pretty vocal about it in this thread. Possibly, but it's still funny considering how often I read back then about a "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away" being a timeless masterpiece that everyone into anime needs to watch and love. Turns out its reputation more confined to an era/generation than even I predicted. |

Movie journalist Hiro Otaka recently (a year ago) tweeted the following to his followers: “Over the weekend of the 23rd and 24th, Kaguya Hime took in 284,250,000 yen (US$2,842,500). For most movies in Japan, that would make it a hit, but with a total production cost of five billion yen, this is an unimpressive opening.” And the hollywood ones are stealing the money as well, they just need to make it look like they spent a lot of money otherwhise the government will step in and take their profit because they made to much. |

| On the one hand they're the most overrated studio of all time, but on the other hand they don't make otaku-pandering garbage. |

Wow. I wonder if five billion yen set a record for an anime movie production budget? |
| As someone who has never seen a Ghibli movie, it's interesting to see everyone's opinions on their movies. It seems you either love them or hate them, not much room for an in between reaction. Coming from personal experience, they seem like they are pretty popular among adults, mainly those in their 30's or above. My parents friends (who I know quite well) love some of the ghibli movies, and have been bugging me to watch Spirited Away for a while now. They pretty much just gave me their copy of it and told me to not give it back until I have watched it... My Dad also seemed to really enjoy it, as he watched it one day. Maybe it is just a trend in my friends and family, but the only people I actually know who watched Ghibli movies and really enjoyed them were older adults.. |
