#2Miyazaki has announced his retirement so many times by now over several decades that this has to be a running joke that everyone warmly entertains.

Two decades and counting. The man is nothing if not passionate about film making and animation. Whatever he, Joe Hisaishi (composer) and Studio Ghibli work on together is instant magic for me. The direction, stories, art, and music come together to create beautiful worlds and people living in them. I'm looking forward to The Boy and the Heron being released in Europe.

Miyazaki realized he would have to spend time with his son. /s

#5Famed boomer might not be done making what made him successful, says person who benefits from such success.
As wonderful as it is, to have "old goatyao" still churning out stories, it is disappointing that Ghibli cannot seem to find a new way forward.

1) "boomer" is a pretty hatefull slur these days
2) baby boomers are the generation born post post-1945
3) Miyazaki-san was born in 1941.

> "boomer" is a pretty hatefull slur these days
What? It's absolutely not as insulting as any number of terms used against people of color, people with disabilities, women, minorities (the list can go on), and saying it's a hateful slur starts to put it in the same ballpark as those, which is very disingenuous. It's also not even that true; "ok boomer" is often used ironically within a group of friends these days, and sometimes used against an actual baby boomer, but it's not really that hateful.

And here I thought baby boomers were the parents who made all those babies in the post-war boom era. Those people were not born post-1945 if they were at reproductive age in the late 1940s.

The strong postwar economy - and soldiers coming home - caused a "baby boom," and those babies were the boomers.
