“Final”
What, again?
Yeah exactly. I know the guy won’t live forever, but I feel like he’s fallen into a “boy who cried wolf” situation where people will continue to doubt the truth in this kind of statement from him.
I don’t care. If he makes another movie, good. If he doesn’t, sad.
Storytelling is worse off without him. And the anime industry will have one more of its old marxists that built the 90s gone.
What was his previous"final" film?
I remember hearing it about The Wind Rises. There may have been others.
Other movies after The Wind Rises were just Ghibli productions, but not Miyazaki directed.
Princess Mononke, Spirited Away, Ponyo, and The Wind Rises were all at one time his final films.
Princess Mononke
Seriously? I remember watching this in primary school around 2000.
Yeah, he’s been retiring for the last twenty years.
Hayao Miyazaki: “This is my final film.”
Also, Hayao Miyazaki: “I’m making another film.”
