Studio Ghibli

[Aradai]

So, I heard the news today that Studio Ghibli is officially going to stop producing and making movies. This was heartbreaking to me. I had fond memories of seeing the English promos for movies like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and many more. Now that I can't see any new ones just makes me miss the excitement I used to had. But, if they want it like that, then let them be. They probably had some good reasons.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter.

DONT WANT

WHAT. NO
Although, I find it totally weird that I just requested a Totoro themed sig from WonderK, heh. I had no idea.
Still, that makes me sad. But like you said I'm sure they have their reasons.

Well, now you can always remember Totoro, even on the forums.

Wait what?
Although I only seen 2 movies from them (Kiki's Delivery Service when I was a little kid and The Secret World of Ariety 2 years ago), I really wish they would continue producing movies.

Also, I want to add this heartbreaking photo set on tumblr I found.

Whaaat.. Are you serious.. ;.;
I was hoping they'd continue on, or reconsider this.. There's so many supporters who are heartbroken now.

I've never actually seen a Ghibli film, so I guess now is as good a time as any to watch one.

Hahaha I know. I read some of the manga adaptations in like 6th grade, but they weren't that great. I'll probably start with Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service.

Any recommendations?

You beat me to it lol.

I've actually read a lot of the plot summaries on Wikipedia, but yeah. I've just never gotten around to watching them.

 

[spCrossing]

I really need to watch Kiki's Delivery Service again.

 

[Shirohibiki]

wait, didnt this happen before and then miyazaki was like "lol jk" and ???

then again, last time it was him retiring and not the whole company...

wow. that sucks. a lot.

 

[thatawkwardkid]

Awwww This is not welcomed news for me...

My favorite was Spirited Away

 

[Lassy]

Oh man I am so heart broken that they are closing ):
Studio ghibli produced many if my childhood movies ;-; (totoooorooo)
I guess we could sort of see it coming ever since Miyazaki retired
I hope studio ghibli will still be remembered in the future ...

 

[Mephisto Pheles]

Wha?! Really?? It seems so sudden..

 

[Geoni]

I heard about this, yeah. It's pretty sad. I hope they're not fully shutting down and that they're just taking a break.

 

[Chibiusa]

They're just taking a break. They're not shutting down.

 

[cIementine]

Funnily enough I bought my neighbour totoro yesterday aha

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]
