2-12/15 PRINCESS MONONOKE [Backstage]w/EnglishSub

In this 12th episode of the 2nd series, first we see Ghibli Producer Toshio Suzuki and the other PR reps. get together for a meeting to talk about the upcoming issues such as voice casts and the counter-tenor singer Yoshikazu Mera (米良美一)who's to sing Mononoke's theme song. Also, Producer Suzuki reports what kind of reactions he sensed from the American audience seen Mononoke's trailer while he was in the United States for the negotiations with the Disney.

Then, there's another interesting theory of Miyazaki's pops out which insists that while the Western tend to percept an object as a piece of block, the Eastern are more likely to see it as a combination of the lines.

Next, Miyazaki explains to a Genga animator Minowa-san that the spiral patterns Shishigami (Forest God) has represent the circulative law of lives, whirling image of fluid, extending image of growing ivies....thus, non-stoppable power of lives, in a word.
Then the topics switch to be on Jigobo's basic characteristics...which seem to be as complicated as those of Eboshi's since the both look so non- stereo-typical...All the same, it sounds quite easy to understand when explained by Miyazaki, according to whom, Jigobo's personality isn't an evil one at all and he IS one cheerful guy actually.
Director mutters Jigobo's and the other three's comical run-away scene might not be fully recognisable as so comedic without the knowledge of old-fashioned comedy films.

Lastly enjoy this great series anyhow then ( ;

i didnt meen to sound harsh earlier but your right their arent that many animators who can animate like them. I didnt understand your question though but miyazaki is a legend! :D

@arrancarsforever

Not WAY off...how many really heart or mind warming animations do you see from westerners?TV shows included since western animation too is not only feature films.

[arrancarsforever]

we westerners dont consider animation as a block that is WAY off, but i do wish our movies were more like miyazaki's films
