i DID say somewhere that Miyazai not working on Nightreign probz meant something sick was cooking

but i could never have truly predicted this

não tô nem colocando a opinião do miyazai em questão

My mother gave me my present already

"The Legend of Ashitaka" from Princess Mononoke stands, to this day, as one of my favorite Joe Hisaishi pieces and was my first introduction to his music when I saw the movie in theaters with my dad. It was also the first Hayao Miyazai film I ever watched. This film and score means so much to me.

at least this has visibly become a major focus for mikami, suda, and seemingly kamiya and miyazai in recent years as they came to a similar conclusion; it's pretty notable how they're all massively focused on using their names as an aegis while incubating new directors

Nadia: Secret of Blue Water
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by way of anime. It has a very Miyazai vibe to it, and though Nadia herself can be a bit much you still end up loving the entire cast. Utterly fantastic ending, too. The last 3 episodes are some of the best anime possible.
And Nemo is the GOAT

Miyazai-tier stairs

I think about this Miyazaki vs Ito comic kind of a lot.
