Hakkekage to answer your thing from the previous thread: Miyazaki is great (but he ain't anime)
GASP
I'm gonna need a 100 page essay explaining this, yesterday
it's a very pedantic and academic distinction, but: Miyazaki doesn't view his work (and that of Ghibli in general) as being "anime" due to what he (and many animation scholars) recognises as a number of key differences between the technological/narrative/visual elements of full animation (with a more filmic fluidity and/or aesthetic of movement) and limited animation (which is what most TV anime is made as). Miyazaki/Ghibli specifically refer to their output as manga eiga, or film manga, in recognition of this.
this has, of course, been changing in the past decade or so as technological advancements have been made which allows TV anime to emulate many of the qualities that were previously the domain of higher budget full animation productions; however, from my perspective there is enough of a difference between the aesthetic and narrative styles of the full and limited traditions of Japanese animation to necessitate a distinction in terminology

I can understand why Miyazaki doesn't want to be lumped in with mainstream anime, but it's kind of like saying that because a hypothetical show is a 7 episode single-plot story, it's not western TV, because it doesn't feature an episode-of-the-week format, a myth arc and on-off entangled character romances.

Pretty incredible collection of interviews of everyone who was on Air Force One on 9/11.
And some levity.
Col. Dr. Richard Tubb: As we’re coming in on final [approach], Dan Bartlett comes into my office and says, “Thanks, I took all those pills. Anything else I need?” I said, “What?! Absolutely not! That was supposed to be a week’s worth!” I’m flipping through the Physician’s Desk Reference, that huge book, trying to figure out what the toxic level of Cipro is.
Brian Montgomery: [Dan] was real worried for a moment. After all that happened that day, Dan was going to die from Cipro poisoning.
Col. Dr. Richard Tubb: I looked into it and told him, “Listen, you’re going to be fine. You might want to take an antacid.”

Not really! But I have zero interest in getting into this!

Found out my terrible boss is getting transferred elsewhere, but as a lovely parting gift on his last day today he just informed me that he didn't schedule me the three days off I requested next weekend to attend a wedding. I'm so fucking done with, just, I don't know, everything.

Miyazaki is anime.
And Spirited Away was amazing. One of Ghibli's best IMO. Right up there with Nausicaa and Kiki's.
This is like the ITT Tech solution of changing avatars.
What do you want from me, damn it.

Simon is saying Miyazaki's not anime because everyone likes him so Simon wants to give Miyazaki a pass.
After a lifetime of watching my father (on the sales side of marketing) fight near-daily with the creative teams
I am zero percent surprised
