So... he'll still continue to work on shorter projects. Miyazaki will still be involved with the movies in one way or another. Besides, he's said something like this before so maybe he'll change his mind later on.

Judging by the comments in this thread, Mr. Miyazaki seems to handle retirement like Brett Favre. We'll just have to wait and see.

Apparently tv in Japan used the same protocol they use to announce tsunami and earthquakes to announce this, if he Favres it there's gonna be issues!
Personally, I don't think he's had a great film since Kiki's Delivery Service, but mileage does vary. |

"Shades of Ric Flair", one might say.

As the quote NHK article said, he's retiring "from the production of feature-length films", so this doesn't preclude him from making shorts, commercials, music videos, etc. I hope this allows him to mentor new talent at Studio Ghibli, since for a long time they've been resting on the backs of him and Takahata and not nurturing anybody to replace them once they're gone (while "Up on Poppy Hill" has been received better than "Tales of Earthsea", some people have wondered if he had been more hands-on behind the scenes than with his son's previous film).

I like the quasi-anointing of Anno as partial heir to his legacy.
It seems surprisingly honest of Hayao. (The sons kill their fathers, after all.) |

Heh, yeah, my reaction was "Not this again."
Of course if you recall Miyazaki said before that the Wind Rises will not be his last film. At the time I joked that whenever he says something will be his last film it never is so this time when he said it won't be his last it will be. In all honestly I don't really care all that much about Miyazaki. He's made some good films, no doubt, but if he stopped making movies it's hardly the end of the world. There's plenty of other good directors making great stuff out there. |

The Brett Favre of animation. |

And he deserves it. He's been involved in animation since 1963 (when he started work at Toei Animation)--in effect, a career that spanned 50 years.
Don't be surprised that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards him a special Oscar or the Irving Thalberg Award for the many great anime films he personally directed and produced over the years. |

There is noone making the kind of films Miyazaki and thus Ghibli does, so no, theres no replacing him, also Ghibli and particularly Miyazaki has remained true to the beauty of full hand drawn animation (i.e each and all frames are fully hand drawn) despitr the pain and contrary to the easiness but kinf of soulless mass generated and generic (most of the tim at least) digital animation, well ok, for a time he mastered perfect fusion between hand drawn and digital, but has returned to totally hand drawn animation with and since Ponyo. |

If Miyazaki is really retiring from making movies, are not these good news in way? I am not very familiar with his latest films, but I have heard they were not very good. I believe Zac and Justin also talked in an ANN Cast about the low quality of Miyazaki's last few films.

He really needs to do this. He's probably the only man in the country with enough cachet to actually sway public opinion on the subject. God knows, if Anno takes over it will never happen. Isn't he considered some sort of right-wing extremist in Japan? (Maybe not Yukio Mishima level crazy, but still pretty out there) |

That's what he said after Mononoke. And Spirited Away. And Howl. And Ponyo.
Not buying this. He'll be back. |
