oh-totoro.com/post/93700803450/studio-ghibli-announces-closure-toshio-suzukiToshio Suzuki has announced the closure of Studio Ghibli. Here’s a translated version of the news article: "Just moments ago, Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli producer, announced on the TV show of the MBS Jounetsu Tairiku chain effectively as announced as sources close to the studio, Studio Ghibli will close and production studio anime, leaving himself only as a company that will manage its trademarks. As stated in the program’s producer, "the production department of anime will be dismantled," which coincides with the data that we gave in our previous post on this decision had been taken from spring after the poor reception at the box office of Kaguya-hime no Monogatari. In the interview, Suzuki has also admitted that it was a major setback for the study progress Hayao Miyazaki, one of the reasons already unveiled the portal Rakuten Woman. Once we have access to the full TV interview, adding more data. No doubt that this is a very sad news for Japanese animation, of which we are all fans, because it is undeniable everything Studio Ghibli has given the anime. Please remember that what will be his last film, Omoide no Marnie, premiered at the Japanese box office on 19 July.” ---------------------------------------------------------- Not sure how many Studio Ghibli fans there are on here, but I watch the movies every now and then and I'm devastated that they're closing, every one I've watched is always a 5 star movie.

Kind of sad, but not too surprising as Miyazaki is leaving, and a lot of their recent films have been pretty bad.
Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke are some of my all time favorite films.
And I loved Arietty and The Cat Returns too.

That is disappointing news indeed. I know they had been having money troubles lately, but with the upcoming movies and TV series, I was hoping they had turned a corner.
At least the company is not going under all together. I guess we can hope that they'll get enough money in the coming years from merchandise to make a comeback.
I just hope the animators don't have much trouble finding work out of all this. And Goro Miyazaki was starting to come into his own as a director. I hope this doesn't hurt his career.

Very sad, but I haven't watched anything they've done since Ponyo. The concepts just lost my interest
