So, it came out earlier today that Studio Ghibli would be closing down. SHOCK! HORROR! INDIGNATION! At least, that's the terror sweeping through our social networking sites. But the truth is far more relaxing. The studio is NOT closing, at least not permanently.
Director and co-founder Toshio Suzuki has gone on record as saying that the studio may be 'reconstructing' after the retirment of fellow director Hayao Miyazaki. This is the man responsible for a few fan favourites, perhaps the most notable of which being Spirited Away. Toshio has also been quoted as saying that they are 'rebuilding' for the next generation.
It would appear that, although there will be a 'brief pause' in their march towards anime domination, Studio Ghibli will return with fire in their bellies, and new artists at their fingertips.At least, that is their indication. Here's to more classics!
