The Boy and the Heron, Hayao Miyazaki’s first feature film in a decade, probably won’t be his last after all. Studio Ghibli executive Junichi Nishioka told CBC News that not only does he not feel like retiring anymore, he’s actively coming into work to create yet another film.

    The is is the best summary I could come up with:

    Homie said he was retiring but then went, “Nahh” and is making another film.

    Something tells me even when he dies he’ll still find a way to keep making films.

      I get the feeling he just likes making movies too much, at which point, why even bother trying to retire?

      Yes, just have to train an ai LLM on his real life and works.

      Then we can have generic uninteresting movies with the same look and feel on the surface, but none of the heart.

      In a way it’s progress. Future writier might be able to add heart and use the ai to produce the parts they have less skill in.

    What a negative headline. My version:

    Miyazaki continues to succeed at postponing retirement and sharing masterful storytelling with the world

        Noone wants him to retire - including Miyazaki himself, it seems. I’m not sure why he’d keep announcing his retirement with that being the case.

    Can’t quit smoking, can’t quit anime. He probably has a PC with an old game running for the past thirty years because he ain’t quitting to desktop.

    He probably feels tired and the pains of old age and thinks “this can’t last much longer. Better stop now and not leave unfinished work. “ But it then goes for long enough for him to get bored and feel he’s wasting time, so off he goes.

    Can’t be easy. We never know when we actually have to stop. Probably better to just keep going until the end.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Studio Ghibli executive Junichi Nishioka told CBC News that not only does he not feel like retiring anymore, he’s actively coming into work to create yet another film.

    “Other people say that [The Boy and the Heron] might be his last film, but he doesn’t feel that way at all,” Nishioka told CBC, through a translator, at the Toronto International Film Festival (via Gizmodo).

    I will leave you with the epic first three paragraphs that Alicia Haddick wrote for us on this very topic last month:

    “I have caused a stir in the past by saying I was quitting,” Miyazaki said a decade ago.

    There are things that I have always wanted to do, but it does not involve animation.”
