No, I meant and always will mean Miyazaki sucked after Spirited Away. That is what I meant. Hell, Ghibli as a whole sucked after Spirited Away. Have you seen that shitty Cat Returns movie? Good Lord, even Disney Toon movies like Return to Neverland and Jungle Book II are better than that. I am not kidding. |

That is simply not true. He has great respect for European animation. He took the initiative to distribute many under the Studio Ghibli label. See below: Distributive works These Western animated films (plus one Japanese film) have been distributed by Studio Ghibli, and now through their label, Ghibli Museum Library. Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941) (a American film by Fleischer Studios) Konyok Gorbunok (1947) (a Russian film by Ivan Ivanov-Vano) Animal Farm (1954) (a British film by Halas and Batchelor) Snezhnaya koroleva (1957) (a Russian film by Lev Atamanov) Przygody Myszki (1976) (a Polish animation series made-film by Eugeniusz Kotowski) Le Roi et l'oiseau (1980) (a French film by Paul Grimault) Kirikou et la sorcière (1998) (a French/Belgian film by Michel Ocelot) Princes et princesses (1999) (a French film by Michel Ocelot) Les Triplettes de Belleville (2002) (a French film by Sylvain Chomet) Winter Days a.k.a. Fuyu no Hi (2004) (an experimental animation anthology by Kihachirō Kawamoto) Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest (2006) (a French film by Michel Ocelot) Moya Iyubov (2006) (a Russian film by Aleksandr Petrov) Kirikou et les bêtes sauvages (2007) (a French film by Michel Ocelot) L'Illusionniste (2010) (A British/French film by Sylvain Chomet) Les Contes de la nuit (2011) (a French film by Michel Ocelot) Arrugas (2012) (a Spanish film by Ignacio Ferreras) |

Right, sure. By all means explain how Howl's and Arrietty and From Up on Poppy Hill are "a mess" or "a trainwreck" or whatever label typically goes with the cliche bashing of newer things these days. Explain how Ponyo is so different from Totoro that it's "terrible." Etc, etc. Not that such movies as these are "not as good as I wanted it to be", mind you, not "disappointing", not "too familiar" but legitimately awful as pieces of filmmaking. That's your harsh and specific criticism toward a huge chunk of output from one of the most accomplished 2D animation studios in the world. Miyazaki doesn't suck because he made a movie that didn't click for you. |

It's going to feel weird not seeing a Miyazaki film come out every couple of years or so. But everyone needs to retire at some point.

I think it's funny watching Anime fans that bash Studio Ghibli. Quite frankly Ghibli doesn't care and doesn't even like to think itself as producing Anime. They are very much in the vein of Disney. However, unlike Disney along with their standard fare family movies they also produce absolutely heartrending shows like 'Grave of the Fireflies'.
May they ever keep on in their path, ignoring all the late night anime fans! |

I'm sad.
Please someone gives him some extra 10-20 years of life to make more movies. To Isao Takahata, too.

Well, it's the end of an era for amazing films. I guess we should be glad we all got to know the name "Hayao Miyazaki", I knew this day was coming, I just wish it wasn't so soon. Although Goro is going to take over it's still not going to be the same. It will still have wonderful films, but I don't think there will ever be another "Spirited Away" or another "My Neighbor Totoro" thank you Mr. Miyazaki for all the love you've poured out into your work. We're really going to miss you.

Now he'll have more time to do what he loves.
Wandering the desert with Hideaki Anno while Anno doesn't work on making sure the next Rebuild movie isn't enormously disappointing. |

All legends have to come to an end sometime, and this legend needs rest, innovative and unique, he has shown the world a passion which, although weird at times, very intuitive and exceptionally showcased.

Sweet. Now I'll be able to have a complete set of Blu-ray for his Ghibli theatrical work by next year. Bring on the Miyazaki Hayao marathon nights, Japan. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY ¥¥¥¥!!

This announcement has somewhat more permanency to it than previous retirement announcements. It's not because he's up there in years, age is irrelevant, Miyazaki will always be a kid inside. I just think it's come to that time where maybe there aren't any more stories to tell. Well maybe in retirement he'll have time to just work on manga again or something.

If he'll work on a new manga I'll be happy... As for now, though, I already miss his movies.

Isn't this not the first time that Miyazaki has declared his intention to retire?

Well, I wonder if he has faith in his son to run the business.
Also is there any word in the rumor mill about Ghibli being handed over to Disney. I came across a article but I don't know how true this was. |
