Cadorniga, Carlos (May 17, 2015). "Miyazaki Helps to Create Figure for Upcoming Manga". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on May 19, 2015 . Retrieved July 14, 2023. Miyazaki, Hayao (November 26, 2013). The Art of Ponyo. San Francisco: Viz Media. ISBN 978-1-4215-6602-3. In 2013, several Studio Ghibli staff members, including Miyazaki, criticized Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policies and the proposed Constitutional amendment that would allow Abe to revise the clause that outlaws war as a means to settle international disputes. [v] Miyazaki felt Abe wished to "leave his name in history as a great man who revised the Constitution and its interpretation", describing it as "despicable". [184] [w] Miyazaki expressed his disapproval of Abe's denial of Japan's military aggression, stating that Japan "should clearly say that [they] inflicted enormous damage on China and express deep remorse over it". [184] He felt the government should give a "proper apology" to Korean comfort women who were forced to service the Japanese army during World War II, suggesting the Senkaku Islands be "split in half" or controlled by both Japan and China. [99] After the release of The Wind Rises in 2013, some online critics labeled Miyazaki a "traitor" and "anti-Japanese", describing the film as overly " left-wing". [99] Miyazaki recognized leftist values in his movies, citing his influence by and appreciation of communism as defined by Karl Marx, though he criticized the Soviet Union's political system.

Archived from the original on May 7, 2017 . Retrieved May 22, 2017.Schellhase (2014) states: "Miyazaki's female characters are not objectified or overly sexualized. They are as complex and independent as his male characters, or even more so. Male and female characters alike are unique individuals, with specific quirks and even inconsistencies, like real people. They are also recognizably masculine and feminine, yet are not compelled to exist within to narrowly-defined gender roles. Sexuality is not as important as personality and relationships. If this is feminism, Hollywood needs much, much more of it." [190] Yakkul: Shuna's mount appears in exact replication as Ashitaka's red elk, who is also named Yakkul, in Princess Mononoke.

Career [ edit ] Early career [ edit ] Miyazaki first worked with Isao Takahata in 1964, spawning a lifelong collaboration and friendship. [32] [33] [34]

Fans of Nausicaä will notice a familiar vibe to Shuna's Journey. Both stories are about a courageous young ruler questing in a world where humans eke out survival under ongoing ecological disaster. In both stories, the setting may be fantasy, or it may be an SF vision of our own post-apocalyptic future, as suggested by the discovery of ancient technology left over from a long-gone civilization. In addition to sharing elements with Nausicaä, Shuna may remind fans of Miyazaki's 1997 film Princess Mononoke. Prince Shuna looks a lot like Prince Ashitaka, the male protagonist of Princess Mononoke, and both ride antelope-like mounts (described as “red elk” in Princess Mononoke).

The old man and the fire: During the night after meeting Thea and her sister, but before their rescue, an old man comes across Shuna at his camp. In exchange for sharing some food with him, the old man tells Shuna more about the god-men and their land in the west over a campfire amongst the ruins of an old house or settlement. At the same time, he warns Shuna of how the land to the west is mystical and that no man has ever returned Reider, Noriko T (March 2005).

Rogers, Tim (March 27, 2006). "In Defense of Final Fantasy XII". Next Generation. Future US. p.2. Archived from the original on April 7, 2006 . Retrieved May 22, 2017. Earthsea: Hayao Miyazaki once told producer Toshio Suzuki that if Earthsea was to be made into film, the plots ought to be like Journey of Shuna. Suzuki passed on this message to Goro Miyazaki, who was directing Tales from Earthsea at the time, thus certain key features in Shuna also reappear in the Earthsea production.
