Hayao Miyazaki just won't stop. The animation maestro has retired then unretired so many times it is just silly now, with his latest movie "The Boy and the Heron" being released in Japan with no trailers and being billed as his last goodbye — until it was revealed he was already throwing around ideas for his next project. "He's thinking about this next project every day, and I can't stop him -- in fact, I've given up," studio co-founder and long-time producer Toshio Suzuki recently said in an interview with French outlet Liberation.
But while the idea of more Miyazaki is exciting, what's somewhat troubling is the future Studio Ghibli is headed toward. After all, this is the greatest animation studio in the world, responsible for all-time classics like "Kiki's Delivery Service" (which ended up on our list of 100 best movies ever) and "Princess Kaguya," and which gifted us Totoro and tanuki testicle transformations.

One of the reasons contemporary Japanese cinema became so popular is the fact that filmmakers who came out in the end of 80s and 90s could let their imagination completely free in all aspects of their movies, from the script, to the characters, to the violence, to the production values. Thus, they came up with high-energy, punk-driven, originally presented films that are still cherished throughout the world. Based on the homonymous manga by Minetaro Mochizuki, “Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl” has Katsuhito Ishii's signature all over him, as he wrote, directed, edited, was responsible for the props, music and costume designs, and is definitely one of these films.
