The subtitles, subsequently translated into English by Sora News 24, read: In 2014, Japanese news site the Golden Times posted a series of screenshots from a video interview with Miyazaki, in which he is talking while sketching a young girl, arms splayed out at her sides. He’s also a guy with no obvious inhibitions about expressing his opinion, and in a daily series for Ghibli Week, we’re going to highlight some of the things the reclusive director has famously disdained. Miyazaki is a humanist artist, creator of some of the most touching, gentle, and hopeful films in the animated canon. The white-haired visage of legendary Studio Ghibli animator Hayao Miyazaki, emblazoned with a bold quote: “Anime was a mistake.” And you may have asked, “Did he actually say that?” To celebrate the arrival of the Japanese animation house’s library on digital and streaming services, we’re surveying the studio’s history, impact, and biggest themes.
May 25 to 30 is Studio Ghibli Week at Polygon.
