1. [+894, -14] Unfortunate. I'm still glad that he gave us so many great films to cherish. I'll never be able to forget his films no matter how old I grow.

2. [+873, -25] Howl's Moving Castle will stay forever with me in my heart ã…  I'm 20 years old now and I still can't forget that moment when I was in my 4th year of elementary school that I first saw it... I have all of the lines memorized.

3. [+648, -17] So, so unfortunate... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I spent my entire childhood with his films... Thank you for giving us many memories to cherish~ You are the best.

4. [+53, -0] If Hollywood has James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, the animation industry has Miyazaki Hayao

5. [+51, -5] Kiki's Delivery Service, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle.. I'm sure everyone has seen at least one of those movies.

6. [+34, -0] The combination of Miyazaki Hayao + Hisaishi Joe is truly the best... perfect scenario + perfect music

7. [+34, -1] Regardless of Korean and Japanese relations, I cannot believe the godfather of animation is retiring... I'm such a fan..ã… ã… 

8. [+30, -1] No matter how old I get, even now as an adult, every single one of his films has touched my heart in some way and still remain with me today. If any of you are hesitant to watch his work because he's Japanese, please take your bias away for a second and give his films a try. They will warm your heart through and through... and make you reflect on the precious things in life.

My childhood.

[mglsts]

That's really unfortunate. It's a big loss for the anime industry.

[DERFUL]

He's been saying for years that he wanted to retire but i think this is the first time he declared it in media.

well, im not going to shock since he's old already and maybe he want his son to take care the business.

 

i still hope he can finish kaguya hime. 

[Hemlock]

neither Miyazaki nor Studio Ghibli has anything to do with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Great movies though, both the animated and live-action versions.

Wait.......he didn't make The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.... 

Unless they meant something else..

[ChYkN]

I only watched Spirited Away like on cartoon network or something, I remember liking it but I don't remember anything about the movie lol.

[Athena]

Spirited Away was the best Studio Ghibli film ever.

[sgtninjago]

Glad to know SK put their differences aside for once and recognized talent regardless of origin.

[Kitty Pryde]

So many amazing movies over the years. 

His work will be missed in animation. 

It was refreshing to await a new animated film release

and know it used traditional animation- unlike the direction of Pixar/Disney films. 

[mistakesweremade]

Princess Mononoke is probably my favourite animated film. Sad to see hes retiring.

[Mako Yagami]

It had to happen, but his son will carry the torch. That being said, he is a legend. His films have spanned the globe and have made countless people interested in Anime, and Japanese entertainment in general tbh. His movies have inspired countless, and I personally love just about all of them. Masterpieces in animation...
