The Nippon TV (NTV) television broadcasting company announced on Thursday that it has decided to acquire 42.3% of the shares of world-famous animation studio Ghibli. This transaction, once completed, would make NTV the largest shareholder of the Ghibli, and turn the studio into a subsidiary of Nippon TV.
I mean, mostly, yeah. And the parts that aren’t him are his other friends in a similiar age range. I don’t think Ghibli has any young talent of that caliber. A lot of amazing animators, but nobody that would have left a visible impression to continue carrying the torch.
And I am not sure someone else would have the same respect as Miyazaki who can yell at them for not having enough detail in their movement. You take that from a grandmaster of the art, but would you take it from anyone?
