Quite sad, still I think he deserves it though it would be nice if he stuck around hoping to encourage new talent at the studio somehow. Apparently I'm hearing of him wanting Hideaki Anno to direct a sequel to Nausicaa.
ReplyDeleteYes, sad but not unexpected. Hopefully when he says he's retiring from features he'll still take on some short subjects. I'm going to miss the constant looking forward to his next release (which always seems soooo long).
