when he said "because they flaunt despair" as his reason for hating anime i was like wow this man is a genius... i hope he never retires!

Miyazaki and his movies are special, they're so very epic and beautiful. I really admire him.

The world needs more people like him.

NEIL GAIMEN!!!! Two geniuses in the same room! *head asplodes*

[PredictableEnigma]

Miyazaki-sama, you CANNOT die before I do. The world will fall apart without your guidence!

@ShinobiSasukeUchiha Actually he`s right. Maybe not for all children but for me it was. When I was a child a film would be just as real as reallity is. I would consciously live in a world of dreams and my mind mixed the real world with the one from films. While I was growing up the magic died out but I remember how beautiful the world was. Like a wonderful dream, every day was an adventure. I surely miss it.

@madona fortunately we have Makoto Shinkai. Even he doesn't agree with what is said, that he's the next Hayao Miyazaki, and it's true each creator has his own style, however, I'd say that Shinkai works are amazing reflections of Human relationships. I still haven't seen his last movie, but from the trailer it seems it has a style that resembles Mononoke Hime. But i don't believe he's copying Hayao's style. He just has a similar way of puting things, and it's outstanding and beautiful :)

押井さんのことを言ってるんだろうな。

[ShinobiSasukeUchiha]

I'm going to have to disagree with what Miyazaki said about how 3-year-olds can't distinguish between what they see in reality and what they see on TV. At 3 years old, I knew everything I watched on TV was not real.

[Oveneise]

Hmmm... I wonder what Miyazaki-san thinks of Clannad.

[lutador1234]

@madona but there is only one :D

[PWGKamakazie]

Miyazaki is a genius. I personally wrote an essay on the topic of whether Miyakaki can be considered and auteur. Of course, he is, but I discovered the absolute genius of his movies while researching for my essay. By far, the most compelling and beautiful film in my opinion is "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind".

Thank you Miyazaki, we appreciate all you have given us.

@itsmichellecullen Well your talking about death note in particular while i and miyazaki where talking about children's comic books in general. I realize Death Note has a large following and there is nothing particularly wrong with the comic...its just...its...very akin to everything else out there. Its very much about finding entertainment in the ravings of lunatics and most of the depth of the book is more implied than stated. Personally i watched the show but later found it dull and joyless.
