Good news never comes alone. After announcing it The boy and the heron in the end it won’t be Hayao Miyazaki’s last film, Studio Ghibli continues to surprise us. Just over a month before the release of its highly anticipated new film, the studio revealed that it is now addressing the issue the small skylightnow opening its production to animated series.
Because Hayao Miyazaki remains responsible for the creative aspect
Should we fear it? Is the studio created by Miyazaki in 1985 losing quality by increasing the number of its productions?
If these fears seem legitimate a priori, one important point should reassure us. In fact, the studio was recently purchased by Nippon Television (also called NTV), according to a publication from a few days ago. If this news isn’t exactly a surprise, that’s because the two groups were already linked by close collaborations : NTV has regularly been among the major producers of Ghibli films.
The press release also specifies NTV’s commitment “permanently protect the know-how and values of the Studio Ghibli brand”, which now counts as one of its subsidiaries. This statement is credited by that of Toshio Suzuki, president and manufacturer of Ghibi. The latter announced in Nikkei.com That the creative and artistic part of these productions would still be in the hands of the studio. NTV would take more care of the dedicated part management and finance. Meanwhile, the studio president also revealed that it was about movies, but also about TV shows :
We will entrust all management to Nippon Television e we will focus on the realization of the works. We will not only produce films, but we will also have the ability to produce TV shows.
Because television is a return to origins for Ghibli
Venturing into the landscape of animated series, Ghibli returns to conquered territory. Let us remember that between 1970 and 1985 Hayao Miyazaki was already creating several series including Conan, son of the future, Anne of Green Gables, Lupine III or the very famous Sherlock Holmeswhose credits will be make 90s kids melt with nostalgia.
A mystery remains: who will succeed Miyazaki?
If we know a little more about the future of our favorite animation studio, an important question remains unanswered.
In the press release announcing that Ghibli is now a subsidiary of NTV, the company recalls thishas been looking for a new director for several years. The question of succession is not new, thereforeHayao Miyazaki is 82 years old and his producer Toshio Suzuki is 75 years old.
In this regard, we strongly advise you to (re)dive The man without end, a fascinating documentary about Miyazaki. The film tells, not without a touch of deadpan humor, how the question of inheritance is thorny, given the aesthetic and ethical needs of the masterthat maybe they can do it Self irreplaceable…
Continues. In the meantime, see you in the theaters November, 1st wonder The boy and the heron.
