| Noooo, I just started watching his movies D= |
  |
| It was bound to happen one day. Sucks though. |
 |
| Haven't even seen Ponyo or Mononoke yet ;~;. I was hoping I could eventually catch up before he retires. Well almost every film he directs is a masterpiece. Goodluck in his retirement ^^ |
 |
| (=w=)> Salute for the man behind Ghibli's masterpieces. Mental note added : "Watch the remaining Ghibli Movies that you haven't watched" |
| I believe he announced retirement after Princess Mononoke too. Hopefully its the same kind of situation and he goes back to directing again. Hes kind of like the Jay-Z of anime lol. |

| Well, I'll miss his fantastic work. He had a fantastic run. |
| Farewell, Hayao, and don't come back anymore! |
 |
| May he have a happy retirement. Thank you for all the wonderful childhood memories. |

| Good riddance. The death of Studio Ghibli begins. |
 |
| Thank you for everything! You're the Best! :) |
 |
| i bid you farewell.. you will be missed legend.. :( |
| After all his contributions to the industry, I say that this is a very well deserved break. I'll certainly miss his contributions, but he deserves this. :) |
Orix said: Good riddance. The death of Studio Ghibli begins. Yeah Ghibli is pretty much doomed if Miyazaki actually retires, they aren't exactly a studio that can do anime geared towards Otaku and without Miyazaki, that's what's going to start come out of the studio since the direction is no longer there for the masterpieces. |
 |
| Sad news! :( Hope he has a good one. ^_^ I freakin' <3 his works. masterpieces. :'D |

Yeah Ghibli is pretty much doomed if Miyazaki actually retires, they aren't exactly a studio that can do anime geared towards Otaku and without Miyazaki, that's what's going to start come out of the studio since the direction is no longer there for the masterpieces. I think they have a philosophy of direction that lives on within the current stock of their directors, but they are aging too. His son Goro is starting to come into his own after a rough start that Hayao kind of brought on for him by basically shitting on his first movie before it really even got off the ground and Takahata their second most prolific director still has a new movie coming out and hasn't announced any sort of retirement so I don't think they're in all that much trouble really. At least not yet. I do not see them suddenly switching gears to appeal to otaku exclusively though at all. That's kind of everything Miyazaki and the founders stood against in terms of philosophy when they founded Ghibli. He never had very fond things to say about fanservice, sexualization of females in anime art and the idea of moe after all. Kitchiri said: Plus, post Miyazaki will NEVER be Shinkai unless he shows us something more other than beautiful animation and BG drawings and actually escapes from pretentious pattern he seems to insists regarding the scenario of the story. The definite+most likely post Miyazaki in Japan is Hosoda Mamoru which seems to be more generally accepted by the critiques. Why would Miyazaki have had to at any point been Shinkai. They aren't even from the same generation and occupy entirely different philosophies. Unless you meant that the other way around as your follow up sentence indicates as I think Miyazaki was far more rounded as a director than Shinkai has ever shown us to be yet and not to mention it's usually the older director that influences and is drawn upon by the younger directors in the film industry.

This is just another example of why this stretch has been particularly tough going. |

| Studio Ghibli was a big reason for me getting into anime. I'm sad Hayao Miyazaki's leaving. He directed the BEST movies... |
| Nooooo Hayao :( |
 |
| NOOOOOOO!!! ~ The horror!!! |
| While I'm not overly familiar with his works and was not even aware of who he was until early this year, I do know that Miyazaki Hayao is a legend in not just Japanese animation, but in animation as a whole. It's always sad to see a legend retire, but that can only bring hope that someone will stand up and fill the hole that is left. In other words, this could be a blessing for anime. Either way, at the age of 72 and with all he's done, I'd say he deserves the rest. |

yhunata said: Either way, at the age of 72 and with all he's done, I'd say he deserves the rest. I agree. I'm going to miss him and his movies, but he can't work forever. |
| Thank you Miyazaki-san for 50 years of great work. It will be a a great loss for the anime industry. Who could ever forget Kaze no Tani no Naushika or Tonari no Totoro...Classic Very sad that this day had to come... |
| None of his movies were moe. They all sucked!!1111!11oneone |

GoldenthunderBRS said: Don't know who he is since I haven't watch his films before, but dang that is sad. What?? You just gave me a little heart attack right there... no but seriously, you should really watch his films they're really great! |
| I should get to all his other works I haven't seen. Have a great retirement sensei, may this generation and the next learn how to make great, if not better films. |
 |
| Its a bad new for the fans of the Studio and the director, but hey, Miyazaki needs to rest. |
| Miyazaki bounces between retirement and working often so I'm not terribly worried. But if he does that's just fine he's worked in the business for a good part of 40-50 years so he's earned it. On the other hand he could very well retire from directing but continue work as a producer/planner letting his much younger staff members take up the helm. Whatever he chooses he's certainly going to leave a legacy like no other |

| My life has ended! T^T Thanks for your hard work, when I have kids I'll show them your films. |

| As I was reading through this thread I was making various sad puppydog faces. Just... wha...? D': However, I do agree... he's done so much and at this age, he deserves the rest. Miyazaki is my inspiration. He's the reason why I'm going to make my own animated films when I grow up. I thank this awesome man of awesomeness for that. And also for inspiring my forum avatar. :'3 |
| Sad news indeed... It'll be difficult to have another great anime director like him. Enjoy your retirement, ossan! :D |
| Thank you, Miyazaki, for providing many hours of wonderful, nostalgic entertainment. May you forever live through your animated masterpieces. |
| He has been in filmaking longer than most of the MAL users have been alive, the man needs rest. He has already immoralised himself through his films, so he will still be with us with his previous work. While this news is sad, it isn't really shocking. I was just recently thinking about how in the future, all of my favorite directors will either retire or die. I when think about stuff like that, it happens soon. I need to just stop thinking. As for Miyazaki, he deserves his rest. I hope he ends his career with a bang. |

Doaj said: Actually this report is distorting what Miyazaki said quite a bit. He did not say that he would "leave the project to Hideaki Anno". He only said that if Anno insisted that a sequel to be made he would allow such project to go ahead. He never actually said he would leave it to Anno or anybody, and he talked about this BEFORE he announced his retirement from making feature length film. 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." To be honest, I have a lot of misgivings about how so many English reports keep jumping to conclusions and over-simplify the actual words which means readers like you can easily draw the wrong conclusions. Klonoa79H said: At that time he only said he considered (or seriously considered) retirement, which is very different from saying he is definitely retiring, which seems to be what he is saying now. 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, |
| 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. |
DraconisMarch said: Now show me what I did not understand what he was referring to?? All the "simple research" he needs to do is to click on the link I provided in my first post and the whole list of Miyazaki's works would come before his eyes. Why posted something like "I don't know him at all" while it is so easy to find out what this person did (and according to posts already in the thread he is clearly a famous person in the industry). Your reply seems so lacking in logic and sense that it is mind boggling that you could even write up so much to talk about how people are "hypocritical". You may be better stick to your usual low level of trolling by short comments instead which seems to suit your style and logic much better. 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. DraconisMarch said: Coming from a perpetual immature and sarcastic chap (and many have rightly pointed this out to you multiple times) I really doubt how much you know about maturity and ability to sound sensible LOL. As I explained time and again, I do not consider myself as any mods when I am not starting a news thread. And if you think you can keep your inconsiderate, caustic and sarcastic approach to MAL posting in this News Board just because you use double-standard for people posting against your posts, then you should think again.I don't think I've ever seen a staff member make such immature and caustic replies. |

Kitchiri said: Not sure where you based your "ignorant" claim from because I entirely agree with your saying about Miyazaki's limitation, BUT the fact is if we want to look into actual CONTROVERSIES surrounding Kaze Tachinu, the zero-sen issue features very little in Japan. Any controversies, like the arguments about the attitude of this move regarding Zero-sen and the war that are taking place in South Korea, as long as it does not flare up in Japan, would be a negligible factor in Miyazaki's decision on his future, which is what 741shadow's original post was about anyway.symbv said: If that's what you say... you are quite ignorant. Because I personally think Kaze Tenchinu just showed huge limitition of Miyazaki Hayao, not being able to escape from stereotypical view of Japanese seeing war. Edited: Controversy coming from the series is not just a single fact it is 'Zero-sen' that is featured as something that protagonist pursuits and dreams, which was nothing more than a tool of inhuman war of Japan. 741shadow said: You mean the controversy of it showing smoking in the movie? Oh yes, this is actually the biggest controversy of the film in Japan LOLWas it because of the controversies around Kaze Tenchu Kitchiri said: I don't think those were formal announcement, but more loud talk about considering retirement, which is different from what we see this time. He announced retirement multiple times. |

| For 15 years he announced his retirement, and yet it is still there ... It's true that getting old now. But as he has not found a successor, I don't think he leaves. |
| J'ai toujours eu ce sentiment un peu étrange d'être comme extérieur à mon corps. Cette impression de flotter quelque part au dessus, ou d'être dans une salle de cinéma, assis au fond, en train de regarder un long film interminable et à attendre que quelque chose se passe. Cette impression de lutter pour devoir rester éveillé, cette envie d'attraper le personnage principal pour lui dire de se bouger, sans cependant pouvoir rien faire sans briser l'écran. |
| I feel so sad reading this... :(( His works are masterpieces and all of them will be forever in my heart...... |
 |
| Oh nooooo!!! *sigh* I didn't think this day would come this soon.... awww ;A; |
 |
| *Minute of silence* It's a sad day for anime. |
 |
| Thank you sir Miyazaki for all of the classis you gave us. |
 |
| I honestly don't know why but this news made me slightly happy ._. |
 |
| Seems like there will be an interview for Hayao Miyazaki's retirement http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv151185497 |
