[url=http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/lifestyle/story/japanese-animator-and-manga-master-hayao-miyazaki-retires-20130901]Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, and creator of classic anime films like [i]Spirited Away[/i] and [i]Howl's Moving Castle[/i] is retiring from directing.[/url] 
This man was a brilliant movie maker and it brings a tear to my eye to see him leave. Thoughts on this? All I can hope for is that Anno takes on the mantle so that we still get a sequel to [i]Nausicaa[/i].
