Every time I feel like I'm getting a handle on this material for the bar exam I'm immediately confronted with the fact that I do not have a handle on this material

Miyazaki's Retirement Declarations (chronologically)

Translated from last week's NHK documentary on the production of The Boy and The Heron (more under cut). I saw people posting a screencap of this and I just couldn't contain myself. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WAY LONGER THAN I IMAGINED LMFAO

This is from the NHK programme "Professional - Their Working Philosophy" (プロフェッショナル 仕事の流儀) a few days ago (16/12/2023). The episode investigates the production process of The Boy and the Huron, and how the late Takahata Isao influenced the movie.

(It was confirmed within the documentary that Mahito = Miyazaki, Great Uncle = Takahata Isao, The Heron = Suzuki Toshio, Kiriko = Yasuda Michiyo)

The documentary is currently available on the NHK Streaming Service (Location Limited). If you have your own ways of watching and you know Japanese, I would definitely recommend the episode as it gives a lot of much-needed context to The Boy and The Heron. Personally, I haven't found a way to watch it yet, so all I know about the documentary are hearsay I saw on Japanese twitter.

Original screencap:

Also, at the very end of the episode, Miyazaki was shown working on a Naucicaa piece without any explanation, which led to many people speculating whether he could be working on a sequel for Naucicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

What do yall think? Do you think he's going to finally retire or release yet another animated film in a few years? I would love to see Naucicaa 2 but I also feel like he really needs to... yknow, chillax a bit and stuff. He deserves a long ass vacation.

v tired of coming out to ppl who are familiar and accepting of the aroace term, who then still turn around and say "yeah but you might still one day meet someone, right?" like I promise you most aspec ppl are aware it's an option, but it's still rude

I get you're trying to be supportive, but it still comes off as "don't worry, perhaps you're not really aroace/broken"

ok so to be clear: Avalir (flying city) blows up, destroying an entire continent, signifying the advent of the Calamity. A century in, Aeor is crashed into the arctic circle. Zemniaz is still, decently after the fall of Aeor, like "we are doing great here actually in our flying city" as we learned from Halas, and crashed in central Wildemount some time later. We haven't heard about Lathras other than the EXU Calamity mention; quite possibly Aeor still went ahead with blowing it up for no reason other than they felt like it. Part of Kethesk crashed into the Dreemoth Ravine shortly post-calamities, and its survivors, presumably aware of the four other flying cities destroyed during the Calamity were like "we can rebuild it" and spent actual centuries doing so only for it to then get crashed in to the SAME EXACT RAVINE by a DRAGON. what the FUCK were you guys thinking.
