Retired? Riiiight.

Hayao Miyazaki Directs Next Film Without Deadline for Finishing

The April issue of the Bungei Shunjū literary magazine, which shipped on Saturday, included an essay from Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki about fellow studio co-founder Hayao Miyazaki. In the essay, Suzuki stated that Miyazaki is working on the Kimi-tachi wa Dō Ikiru ka (How Do You Live?) anime feature film without a deadline to complete it.

Suzuki said, "With the production of this new film, we're experimenting with having no established deadline. I'm looking forward to how that comes through in the work." Suzuki indicated that Studio Ghibli's works normally have set production schedules. In the television special that revealed the film project, Miyazaki presented a proposed schedule for the film, but Suzuki indicated that the studio is no longer following that plan.

Suzuki added that Miyazaki is a person who is not interested in money. Also, Suzuki believes Miyazaki is effectively unable to truly retire because having nothing to do and living as an ordinary retiree would bother him. Suzuki believes Miyazaki feels most at home in continuing to work on film production.
