alt Hacker NewsAs much as I love Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky, I've been so bummed Miyazaki hasn't returned to more adult storylines.
Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa are two of my top ten films. I'd do anything to have Miyazaki make one more.
I even bought Miramax's old marketing website and kept it online [1].
I was lucky enough to teach English in Hokkaido [2], which is where Ghibli animators drew inspiration for Princess Mononoke. It's such a beautiful place, and you can feel it in the film.

He's "retired" like 3 times now, you might not have to do very much.
Nausicaa was definitely his best work. It was also one of his earlier works and that can be hard to recapture.
Looking at [1] really took me back to those early days of the web. It was a special time. Thank you for that.
Depending on how it's hosted, giving it a letsencrypt certificate isn't too much of a hassle. I'd be happy to help.

That’s awesome, private sale or did they let it drop?

What about "The Wind Rises"?
