People in Japan have experienced many tsunamis and various earthquakes throughout the ages.

Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.

When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.

At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors waving swords around as well, but the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these.

You should despair and run away.

I think talent decides everything. More than the method, what's important is the talent using it. There's nothing inherently wrong or right about a method, whether it be pencil drawings or 3-D CG. Pencil drawings don't have to go away, but those who continue to use the medium lack talent. So sadly, it will fade away.

You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.

Virtual reality is a denial of reality. We need to be open to the powers of imagination, which brings something useful to reality. Virtual reality can imprison people.
Hayao Miyazaki

To have a film where there's an evil figure and a good person fights against the evil figure and everything becomes a happy ending, that's one way to make a film. But then that means you have to draw, as an animator, the evil figure. And it's not very pleasant to draw evil figures.

I create women characters by watching the female staff at my studio. Half the staff are women.

The creation of a single world comes from a huge number of fragments and chaos.

I don't like games. You're robbing the precious time of children to be children. They need to be in touch with the real world more.

I can't stand modern movies. The images are too weird and eccentric for me.
