He's a respected filmmaker in Japan, he's not seen as "the good anime director" like he is in America. I'm not sure why you're so mad about this.

Fist of the North Star is already a super melodramatic story about guys in theatrical costumes facing off against each other. That seems like a pretty easy adaptation. Ken is pretty taciturn in the manga so it would be weird if they gave him a bunch of numbers, but you can have exposition sung by the weird little guy that follows him.

Dumb ✔
So goddamn crazy ✔
There are huge amounts of jokes on the Japanese internet calling Miyazaki a pedo and lots of quotes where he says insane things but the sources on them are kinda unclear. The top of the Japanese Uncyclopedia on Miyazaki just straight up calls him a pedo and lists all his questionable quotes but you know it's just a joke website.

There's a screencap of a supposed interview with Mamoru Oshii where Oshii says that Miyazaki screamed out "what's wrong with having sex with 12 year old girls?!" But I dunno what magazine or issue this screencap is supposed to appear in, and Miyazaki himself isn't named in the screencap, so take it with a grain of salt:



"I don't have any interest in kids in real life. That person [who? Miyazaki? this is unclear] does. Once, I don't know if he was wasted or sober, he shouted 'what's wrong with falling in love with 12 year old girls?' He said it clearly."

tl;dr - there is no clear or hard evidence Miyazaki is a creep (that I can tell) but Japanese people like to make lots of jokes about it

I was trying to find a poll of the japanese population as opposed to critics, but I couldn't. I actually think the other ghibli director who died is better, however its just stupid to pretend that miyazaki isn't widely considered the best anime director. you can personally disagree, but the fact is he is.

It is not at all hard to figure out why Miyazaki is considered the "good anime director" over Tomino. Come on. Putting mecha aside, you do not need to invest 20 hours into appreciating Miyazaki's greatest works. You should be comparing Miyazaki to other filmmakers like Satoshi Kon or Oshii. In that case it's because Miyazaki comes the closest to capturing "Disney magic."

Takahata is my personal "best anime director" pick. Only Yesterday is my favorite animated film and Tale of Princess Kaguya was a visual masterpiece.

Satoshi Kon dying relatively young was loving tragic though :smith:

lol he's making a joke and the photographer caught the intended reaction (she's rolling her eyes)

maybe it's just biden being president, but i have a hard time seeing it as creepy when his hands aren't even invading her personal space i guess

I feel like Tomino is a bit the Alan Moore of japan.
