"I'm looking at a new apartment" or "I have a new apartment in mind", pretty much.

"I've got a new apartment in my sights" probably works better.

What.. what is that sound that dude made? Biff. Did he fart? I mean, if he did, it was apparently pretty loud. Is that some sort of an old-timey throat clearing noise? Sneeze? Is that some other dude's name? Interesting.

It's especially hilarious because Miyazaki is critical as hell of anime and manga today, among other things. Whether you agree with him about those things or think he's a crotchety old bastard, he's definitely not the ideal face of the anti-criticism crowd.

Unfortunately, inspector Danger's lack of a warrant resulted in the evidence being thrown out of court. A youtube video circulating his numerous slurs against little people was released anonymously, resulting in a full internal investigation and eventual dismissal.
