Mmm... Miyazaki

This week there's an interview with Hayao Miyazaki in the New Yorker. I must get my hands on it. MUST!

To console myself that this will likely not happen, there's an interview with the interviewer online and it's actually quite interesting in its own right.

Granted, being an anime buff helps up your appreciation of either interview. I liked the one quote:

"He's also an environmentalist, of a somewhat dark and apocalyptic variety. He's said, not entirely jokingly, that he looks forward to the time when Tokyo is submerged by the ocean and the NTV tower becomes an island, when the human population plummets and there are no more high-rises."

And yet he makes such charming anime films.
