Miyazaki

Miyazaki is frank in his interviews with Sunada, whom he allows to tag along to his studio, his garden, and his private atelier.

“There was a time when we both had passion for our work,” Miyazaki later says, referring to himself and Takahata.

He does not admit it, but Miyazaki likely sees the resemblance between himself and Horikoshi as well.

And when asked whether he worries about Studio Ghibli after he and Takahata retire, Miyazaki is frank.
