| According to Hollywood Channel News, Suzuki Toshio revealed the concept of the next film of Miyazaki Hayao. He said Studio Ghibli is now pursuing realism and the audience cannot watch Miyazaki's new movie at ease. "The earthquake has caused a social unrest, which affected the creators' mind greatly. Poverty has become a realistic threat for the general public. We had already expected the paradigm shift of Japanese society before the earthquake," Suzuki said. Source: Hollywood Channel |

| So, it's going to be like a modern-day Grave of the Fireflies, then? It will be interesting to see how Miyazaki handles realism, seeing as the more realistic Ghibli movies were generally directed by Isao Takahata in the past. |

| Well great, so now it can talk about serious subject? But without ease huh...... |
| "Justice Never Dies!" - Kenji Endou, 20th century Boys |
| So, Miyazaki's communism spirit which has died since the end of cold war will rise again. I like it. I liked Miyazaki when he was portraying magical realism heavily and properly. |
| I'll be looking forward to that movie - something of serious nature is always welcome, and if it's going to make you feel uneasiness and unrest... it's all the better. |
     |
| Definitely looking forward to that. |
| in other words, expect this movie to be all around depressing |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Awesome. |
 |
| A Nausicaa or Mononoke in a present day setting? Fuck yes, bring great story telling back. |
 |
| He's probably going to make a movie where the youth of Japan try to kill nature and old people have to save the day. I do not feel good about this. |
| My anime list |
Veethorn said: A Nausicaa or Mononoke in a present day setting? Fuck yes, bring great story telling back. this. i love how Studio Ghibli is still here to bring us great and worthy anime to watch. now where is Oshii's next film? Kenji had his one line up, Re:Cyborg 009 |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Sounds like there will be a lot of references to recent tragedies. Its going to be a challenge for him to get the people of Japan to approve perhaps. |
  |
| Interesting. I love his works, so I'll give it a shot regardless of how hard it is to watch. |
| All of his works are amazing. Looking forward to the next one. |
  |
| It's too soon for such in Japan Miyazaki, get someone to license your work in the west and release it there first then release it in Japan 5-7 years later. |
 |
| its about damn time someone brought forth something that doesn't sugar coat or overly delusional. |
| Can't wait for it regardless of how it turns out! ^_^ |
| Good, we need an animated film that's not about escapism. Something socially relevant is always appreciated in my books. Greatly looking forward to this. |
 |
| really really want to watch this now!! |
 |
| After children-oriented Ponyo and Arrietty? About f* time. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| Very excited. While I love his whimsical fantasy movies that just make me feel good after watching them, seeing what else Miyazaki can do with a completely different genre should be really interesting. Princess Mononoke is still one of his best movies to me, so seeing another movie like this makes me super excited. |
 |
| I love any form of storytelling that's dark or heavy in nature. Definitely happy about this. =3 |
| I feel this won't bode over well over in Japan... However, being from the west, I'm looking forward to this sooo much. I can't wait to see how he does with this one. ^^ |
| Oh yes, looking forward to that. ^^ |
| Oh yes please. |
 |
| That sounds interesting, so I'm gonna be looking forward for that. |
| Sounds great! Grave of the Fireflies isn't exactly a movie anyone can watch "with ease," but that's not exactly a bad thing. It doesn't have to be a kid-friendly happy movie to make an impact. Anything Miyazaki does will be amazing! |
| I thought the title meant that we wouldn't be able to watch it for free. I was like "Challenge accepted". |
[center] |
| so the movie is about the earthquake ? |
| sounds cool and my kinda animu |
 I signed my screen and now its all smeary "When you meet your God tell him to leave me alone." check out my bloghttp://corpse69.wordpress.com/ fix MAL already |
| At ease or not, as long as the film is good that's what matters. |
| That sounds interesting. I'm be looking forward to seeing it. |
| it'll be intresting depending on how he handles the subject. |
  |
| Aaaaaaaand the Hipster Hayao strikes again. |

You claim that movies with fantasy settings with a happy end are bad story telling by definition? Not only you, but I see many posts similar to yours. What's up with this ignorance? So only depressing stories are worthwile and good? I understand that some prefer movies with a more serious tone (so do I), but it doesn't mean joyous stories are bad. Change the attitude man. Stop assuming others are ignorant because they state a wish to see/watch something. You're the one being ignorant and offensive. My comment simply means Im happy about a movie that hopefully will have some of the themes of the movies mentioned in a setting of today, and yyes I think those two movies are Miyazakis best works, I didnt state any facts. So pls dont be a jerk. |

| ah... Ponyo second season. |
| I'm curious to see how it turns out. |
 |
| I was wondering how the Earthquake would affect Japanese Animation. Hopefully, we'll see a lot more conscious and imaginative anime like the period after WW2. |
| @Veethorn He's actually talking to this part of your post: "bring great story telling back.", although he's probably exaggerating that part of your post. @Daimyo I don't know. The March 11 quake is really incomparable to World War II. However, the 1995 Kobe quake did awaken some renowned writers of that time, but not at the scale of WWII. That said, a certain sci-fi writer whose biography I watched in NHK World last night was considerably a hater of anime and manga writing when Lum Invader is still very famous. I'm quite disappointed that bestsellers couldn't acknowledge manga and anime writers as equals. I'm smelling elitism. |

I think it has to do with a lot of what this generation's anime/manga writers are putting on the table. A lot of moe, loli, fanservice rich content. All eye candy very little substance. The stuff sells well so most of the fans are content. However, at the same time it almost gives a negative stigma to the platform as a whole. They're seriously aren't many japanese manga/anime writers today like Go Nagai or Leiji Matsumoto who are willing to think outside the box. Not to discredit Rumiko Takahashi and her extensive anime library in anyway, but a lot of what she promotes is typically the same thing presented in a slightly package. |

Well, the anime industry is still suffering from all kinds of shit thrown at them (the March 11 earthquake, instability of economies across the globe, and that idiotic Ishihara's wishes to destroy anime and manga), and they need to at least earn a decent buck to live through this. You can't really blame them. If only things were more stable, there would have been more decent titles on the season lineup. Right now, we just have to learn to trust the industry. Although I can't trust Miyazaki "saving anime" soon. He needs to change that "fuck technology" ideology of his and help inspire the minds of the newer generation. |

| Afraid....But excited... |
  |
| anything from Ghibli is better than the crap these days. |
| Realism huh, well I welcome it considering what he's done in the past. A bit concerned but I'm sure he can pull it off. |
| Wonder what it will be. |
