I'd say he hits the nail on the head for some of Miyazaki's work, but the ones not aimed at young children do contain more of the 'blood' he mentions. The fact that this was written before he saw Mononoke is rather telling.

The underscores all over the place really add a lot to the emotion of the document.

They should have used asterisks instead.

Thanks for the find, Goose. "The Day That Anime Died" makes more sense now.

Whoops, it's "The Con Where Anime Died", but close enough.

Am I out of my mind here, or did Miyazaki attend Anno's wedding?

I thought I heard about that some time ago but I can't find anything.

Mentioned here. (I searched for "miyazaki anno's wedding".) I get tons of Japanese results when I do a search using the string "庵野秀明 モヨコ 宮崎 結婚" (Hideaki Anno, Moyoco, Miyazaki, wedding).

Nice read, I liked this. Being able to read and watch interviews with Anno over the past half year or so has really just made me respect him and empathize (due to depression and such) more then I already do.

...Does Anno-sensei mean EoE?? Or maybe one of his live-action works? I thought Mononoke-hime was released in Japan in 98, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to think this would it?

Thanks for posting this. It's funny to read Anno's opinion on Miyazaki's work, particularly since I've always felt that Miyazaki played it very safe when it came to the storylines and themes of his films. While a great majority of them are unquestionable technical masterpieces, I cannot help but feeling that there's a certain feeling of "formula" to them that just ends up being, well, repetitive.

Princess Mononoke came out on July 12, 1997. EoE came out a week later on July 19, 1997 so it's very likely he is refering to EoE

I get what he is saying. But isn't it ironic that Hideaki Anno, himself, IS an animator?

Hi,
I am new here and I am searching for the Anno wedding dress. Do any one have video or photos of wedding dress?
shop online Pakistani and Indian wedding dresses in US, UK, Australia, Caribbean, Saudi Arabia or worldwide.
