    The beginning of the end for quality and integrity for Studio Ghibli. Can’t really blame Miyazaki but this won’t be good for fans.

      Nippon TV has been funding studio Ghibli films since the 90s and also owns (for example) Madhouse. While I am also sceptical of where this leads, I think it’s one of the better options for Ghibli overall. At least Nippon TV has shown in the past that they understand what Ghibli is doing and isn’t just picking them up because they have the money to do so.

    Whaaaaaat? I thought Miyazaki was adamant that nobody else would own the company, and that it would be on maintenance mode after his death.

      Well, he’s not dead yet, is he? Maybe he stipulated on his death Studio Ghibli goes in maintenance mode…whatever that means.

      Then again, Nippon TV buys the name and rights then feeds Princess Mono, Spirited Away, etc. into StableDiffusion/Midjourney/ChatGPT and BINGO! A new Studio Ghibli release every year for Xmas! /cynic
