One problem – Miyazaki never said this. The line is misinterpreted from an interview in 2014, where Miyazaki expresses a much more positive, but not so weak, view.
“You see, whether you can draw like this or not, to be able to think of this kind of design, it depends on whether you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yes, girls like this are in real life. If you don’t spend time looking at real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives with an interest in themselves only. Almost all Japanese animation is done with almost any foundation taken from observing real people, you know. It’s made by people who can’t stand looking at others. “
The man has standards, and he expects people to meet them.
3. 2014 – Miyazaki hates people who also into guns.
“Otaku,” in general, is a Japanese word for superfan. It’s often associated with anime, but in reality you can be an otaku for anything, even guns. Back in 2014, one interviewee, perhaps fishing for a spicy quota about obsessive anime fans, asked Miyazaki to consider otakus in general, and he said this:
“Otaku? My favorite people are the ones without otaku. Honestly speaking, I think they are pretty low, and out of military fans, the pistol nuts are the worst. They are the ones with the most celestial characters left. ”
We measure the overlap in the Venn Diagram of NRA members and Totoro my neighbor fans are small, but this may reach them and change their hearts and minds.
4. 2008 – Miyazaki resigns as Prime Minister of Japan.
Unless Miyazaki has clearly stated that anime was a mistake, he has had enough harsh words for anime fans, regardless of whether it’s the average dude looking home by himself or top Japanese officials. Responding to news that Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso is enjoying manga, the director and one manga artist said:
“It’s a shame. It should do the sort of thing in private time. “
Imagine telling a reporter that Obama shouldn’t spend so much time on those well-balanced playlists he releases each year, and instead just keep it to the Spotify private account aige. You may be thinking it, but are you say e? No, but Hayao Miyazaki will.
5. 2010 – Miyazaki thinks you look full with your iPad.
A trip back with us to 2010: Steve Jobs is still alive and Apple has just released its first iPad. It’s like your computer screen, but smaller! Or your phone, but bigger! How cool is it? Hayao Miyazaki (a well-known Luddite who doesn’t use email and hand-drawing) doesn’t think it’s cool at all, thankfully. In an interview for a publication inside Studio Ghibli, he called the board a “gaming machine thing.”
“For me, there is no sense of courage or happiness. It’s a shame. On trains, the number of people making this strange masturbation-like movement is multiplying. ”
The next time you study, take a moment to think about how you will look.
6. 2005 and 2013 – Miyazaki welcomes the environmental apocalypse.
2004 to 2005 was arguably Miyazaki’s pinnacle of global popularity. After success Spirited Away, the fully activated hype engine for tracking Howl mobile castle, which is secretly a fashion film about a young hat maker and her magician friend with a bold taste in wedding attire and hair color. Miyazaki got the tide New Yorker image manipulation, where he brought up a dark vision for the future.
I would love to see Manhattan underwater. I would like to see when the human population falls and there are no more heights, because no one buys them. I am excited about that.
Eight years later, in the (well!) Studio Ghibli documentary Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, he offered another dark prophecy:
“The future is clear: it’s about to fall apart. What use is worrying? It’s inevitable.”
