Hayao Miyazaki is retiring

Today brings us some rather major breaking news, as it's being reported that Studio Ghibli's world-renowned director Hayao Miyazaki is to step down from directing any further feature films at the age of 72, making his current work Kaze Tachinu his last film in such a role.

There's little requirement to expound upon Mr. Miyazaki's legacy - a simple look through Studio Ghibli's back catalogue, or his work prior to that on the likes of Future Boy Conan and Lupin III movie The Castle of Cagliostro, gives you an idea of the huge worldwide influence and popularity of his work.

The news, revealed in a press conference at the Venice International Film Festival, seems to suggest that Hayao Miyazaki will continue in some role at Studio Ghibli, in a supervisory capacity or possibly even directing short films and the like, but this marks an interesting line in the sand for the studio of which he is such a huge part, and no doubt all eyes will be firmly trained upon Ghibli to see how it proceeds over the coming years. This also isn't the first time that Miyazaki has announced his retirement, so it also remains to be seen as to whether it will be a permanent move on this occasion.

Incase you didn't know, Miyazaki is a famous director that made movies such as Spirited Away, Howls moving castle, and Kiki's Delivery Service. I'd highly recommend watching some of his movies if you haven't seen them as they are truly amazing.

Nopls! Miyazaki is probably the best living director and his movies are among the best that animation has ever produced! I hope he's just rusing us again and once he finds something he would like to make a movie out of he does it anyway.
Also I hope his son is ready to continue his legacy.

Spirited away was just such a good movie. I'd put it up there with top 10 of all time for me.

this is the third time he's gone into retirement, once after princess mononoke and again in 2005. you don't just quit the anime life like that.

the301stspartanAlso I hope his son is ready to continue his legacy.

Pffffffffft. Goro is trash and has so far only directed bad movies with Ghibli production values riding off of his father's coattails. If anyone is to "continue his legacy" it'll be Isao Takahata, who is actually a legitimate director of Miyazaki's caliber.

Still sucks to hear, big Hayao is definitely one of the finest animators there ever was.

I should have made a correction. It's just that Hisaishi's orchestration in combination with Miyazaki's films is something that is unlike anything else.
