Great! I was there myself, Both in Hall H and at the premiere of Ponyo. How wonderful that we got to see the legened himself in the flesh. I don’t think he’ll be back here stateside.

His long list of work is indeed one to admire. It’s good to hear there’s another fellow fan of his work, especially when your first movie of his is Ponyo, which in my opinion is his weirdest one yet.

I do wish I could attend another Miyazaki Q&A session.

My daughters and I were also fortunate to attend these two events. We went over to the theatre right after Mr. Miyazaki finished as my daughter had found out about the screening before we got to Comicon. I had never heard of him before but when I saw his work and heard him speak I got the same chills. He is truly a unique person and very humble. I became an instant fan and ordered all of his movies I could find and really enjoyed them all. Wow.

Indeed, I felt very privileged for the chance. His works have always been powerful and are all in their own class. There are other excellent Japanese animation directors who are of the same calibre but are of different end goals, in my opinion.

I hope more awareness of his work and a deeper understanding and appreciation could grow in a market such as America’s.

Thanks for dropping by the blog!

omg if I were to meet Hayao like you did I would brake into tears. You have been blessed. He is one of my biggest role models and I’ve dreamed of meeting him. His movies have helped me in my toughest times and I always get this sad feeling when the film is done lol I don’t think that anyone will ever reach to his imagination. :’] he is so amazing and always teaches people to beleive in themselves and never give up. OMG

Way to go! I wish I could have been there. I would have at the very least, asked a more interesting question.

I sure hope that Miyazaki becomes more famous in the west. I didn’t really start to hear about his films until I was in high school, which was unfortunate, because I’m sure I would have enjoyed those films as a child as well!

Nihon & Ameli: You’re both welcome. It was my pleasure to share my own gushing excitement, glad it was of some value to you.

Nihon, to be honest the ‘present’ me is jealous of the ‘yesterday’ me for not being in another discussion panel with Miyazaki.
