  • I have an even bigger problem. I have no reference within my company, I am the one who knows the most about programming, which is why praise is inherently hollow because it comes from people who couldn’t make a proper judgement on that.

    It’s like me praising someone playing the piano. Like, I can tell if I like it, but this goes basically only to the point of recognize if someone just plays very badly or not.








  • Copyright almost never applies to the consumer and is more meant to prevent other companies from reselling unofficial recreations or bundles, but of course that depends on laws of your state.

    I think the issue is that people think they’re still consumers, because they’re not companies. Uploading an anime, heck uploading a clip from an anime to YouTube is already going above what being a consumer it. Not a company, certainly, but you’re already above consumer and people keep getting confused by it.


  • I mean, mostly, yeah. And the parts that aren’t him are his other friends in a similiar age range. I don’t think Ghibli has any young talent of that caliber. A lot of amazing animators, but nobody that would have left a visible impression to continue carrying the torch.

    And I am not sure someone else would have the same respect as Miyazaki who can yell at them for not having enough detail in their movement. You take that from a grandmaster of the art, but would you take it from anyone?


  • The studio did approach Miyazaki’s son Goro Miyazaki many times to become a successor to run the studio, but the younger Miyazaki has so far refused all offers, and Hayao Miyazaki also opposes his son becoming the studio’s head.

    Man, Goro’s relationship with his father is an interesting story on it’s own. For most part of your childhood your father is barely there, mostly producing movies for other children and when you’re grown up you try to catch up to your father in his industry and he thinks that you’re fucking worthless.


  • I think the issue here is simply that you two are seeing two different versions of what “filler” means.

    “Filler” in terms of anime often refered to original content that was “filled” between the actual adapted content from the manga. This is from a time where some shounen series were running perpetually next to the manga and once caught up had to do something to fill the time. This lead to very loooong series like Dragonball Z where you had to fill an entire episode just with the content of a 20 page chapter and to filler arcs that were often scourned. The issue was, that nothing there could be of any lasting consequence as to not throw a wrench into the actual story developing from the manga.

    Now, you use filler as in stuff that apprently fills time in the source, as stuff that doesn’t really advance the story and characters in your view. I am not agree with that, but that’s another matter.
