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.

Something tells me even when he dies he’ll still find a way to keep making films.
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.
I get the feeling he just likes making movies too much, at which point, why even bother trying to retire?
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.
What a negative headline. My version:
Miyazaki continues to succeed at postponing retirement and sharing masterful storytelling with the world
I mean… I’m sure his family would like to spend some time with him
Least surprising headline
What a failure
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
“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.”
