Yeah exactly. I know the guy won’t live forever, but I feel like he’s fallen into a “boy who cried wolf” situation where people will continue to doubt the truth in this kind of statement from him.

I don’t care. If he makes another movie, good. If he doesn’t, sad.

Storytelling is worse off without him. And the anime industry will have one more of its old marxists that built the 90s gone.

I’m still going to watch it, though.

Same here! And then a small part of me will be hoping/waiting for the next one.

I remember hearing it about The Wind Rises. There may have been others.

Other movies after The Wind Rises were just Ghibli productions, but not Miyazaki directed.

Yeah, as with bands reuniting for another FINAL album, it sort of cheapens the finality of both productions for whatever that’s worth.

As a side note; I freaking LOVED The Wind Rises, more than most Ghibli fans it feels like. My father is a retired aircraft loadmaster so I’ve had a soft spot for aviation since I was a child, but being an absolute commie, liberal, beta-cuck, that appreciation was tempered over time with the reality of the military industrial complex. I felt targeted directly by that movie.

Aw man, I didn’t even know about this. As a semi-avid Ghibli fan in my youth, this sparks joy and I can’t wait to watch it ❤️

I would have been glad for as many final tours as Slayer wanted, and I feel the same way about Miyazaki and his movies

I have no idea what this is about, and I’m going to try to keep it that way until I get a chance to watch.

Isn’t this essentially the marketing? The yet another claim of a final film, I mean.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
