Thank you for the quote. I think I’ve commented before something to the point of “what’s left for Ghibli?” Their most promising young directors left to start their own studio, Goro Miyazaki has his good and bad movies, but doesn’t look like the strength to carry on the legacy on his own. And then what?

Well, nothing. The buck ends with Miyazaki and maybe that is okay.

Ghibli has managed to produce movies with an unrivaled charm, but that is not to say other directors don’t make absolutely amazing animated movies in Japan.
