Following the release of the intensely personal The Wind Rises, Studio Ghibli maestro and legendary animator/director Hayao Miyazaki announced his retirement.

For diehard Studio Ghibli fans, and fans of great cinema in general, this is big news, which is why it’s odd that the new production was casually mentioned, without fanfare, in a recent Japanese TV special...
