Miyazaki's Retirement Declarations (chronologically)
Translated from last week's NHK documentary on the production of The Boy and The Heron (more under cut). I saw people posting a screencap of this and I just couldn't contain myself. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY LONGER THAN I IMAGINED LMFAO
This is from the NHK programme "Professional - Their Working Philosophy" (プロフェッショナル 仕事の流儀) a few days ago (16/12/2023). The episode investigates the production process of The Boy and the Huron, and how the late Takahata Isao influenced the movie.
(It was confirmed within the documentary that Mahito = Miyazaki, Great Uncle = Takahata Isao, The Heron = Suzuki Toshio, Kiriko = Yasuda Michiyo)
The documentary is currently available on the NHK Streaming Service (Location Limited). If you have your own ways of watching and you know Japanese, I would definitely recommend the episode as it gives a lot of much-needed context to The Boy and The Heron. Personally, I haven't found a way to watch it yet, so all I know about the documentary are hearsay I saw on Japanese twitter.
Original screencap:
Also, at the very end of the episode, Miyazaki was shown working on a Naucicaa piece without any explanation, which led to many people speculating whether he could be working on a sequel for Naucicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
What do yall think? Do you think he's going to finally retire or release yet another animated film in a few years? I would love to see Naucicaa 2 but I also feel like he really needs to... yknow, chillax a bit and stuff. He deserves a long ass vacation.

the post-raven king gangsey is so funny in my head bc blue and gansey have been so freed and for once in their lives don't fear the future and are allowed to rediscover themselves yada yada yada and then adam and ronan are just this unit that show up at random times with deadpan faces looking like the mf shining twins and then they make a few quips and go on their way with a duffle bag that never gets explained in hand and when asked where they're going one says "its our anniversary" and the other says "tibetan resurrection ritual" except you never know who's going to say what and you never know which one of them is telling the truth

Guys... the podcast was NOT that fucking serious. Literally seen people quitting their blogs because of it. Let's be so fucking for real.
Please move the fuck on. Tired of the negativity, let's get back to our scheduled programming.
