I so agree on Miyazaki's view on America's version of sci fi "anime" ,apart from a few exceptions, they are all in general full of despair and lack compassion. All in all, just too shallow. Miyazaki films are much more poignant and depthful, we need more animators like him!!!!!!

This is the kind of person we need to look up to. He will always be an inspiration and a role model.

I love Miyazaki's films because he's not afraid to put an acctual message in his films and art. Most people are just in it for business but Miyazaki makes it more for teaching us things. He also doesn't just target one audience and he looks at things differently than most people. He's one of the few people I look up to in life.

His imagination in making these movies were great!He is really the best directer I ever seen!You should have seen his makings in spirited away and princess mononoke,the stories were good.Accept for the ending of spirited away.There should be a should be a spirited away2.XD

I think that his dream would be for people to actually grasp his concepts. While he can make films that are both entretaining and filled with deep messages, people will end up just consuming the entretaining side of them, as we always do. In mononoke they found a way to reedem themselves but in our era we have gone so far, do we really have that chance anymore?,I´m sure miyazaki knows the answer, still he and many others are doing efforts to reach people. Because reaching people is the only path

I heard that while Miyazaki was staying at LA he met John Lasseter who was developing CG.

Good comments on other sci-fi driven anime and video games. Although I'd like to disagree that Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are an exception.
