>>6348388>>6348337>>6348353>>6348214I have never seen 天空の城 Laputa, I have watched Nausicaa Valley Of The Winds and it was tolerable, it is one of the few animes I have seen (anime urgh). Nausicaa was ok, I remember the weird radiation? corruption sea and something I vaguely recollect is the imagery of three factions (idyllic Japanese innocent wind princess, obvious threatening American bomber aircraft plane faction and interestingly that third ambiguous allegiance European?? prince faction?)
The reason why I suspect Miyazaki legacy may be forgotten or overwritten (by AI style transfer etc) is because his work alongside other anime is characterised by Japanese tradition under a regime of postwar PACIFISM, carefully administered under the former US Washington consensus etc. (Hideo Kojima also manifests these postwar narratives). Think about this every time you see an anime nuclear explosion in Akira
Yet under multipolar or Trump hemispheric defense refocus national security strategy, the new trend for Japan might be nationalistic MILITARISM possibly also large influxes of low wage immigrant labour to fix demographics (not sure if this is possible or can ameliorate 230% debt to gdp and sustain JPY carry trade lol) so maybe Miyazaki pacifist idyllic nostalgia animation cannot survive this.
Perhaps all anime will become more militaristic and warmongering in the future
