Well. This is certainly something I was not expecting to see today. The man has done some legendary work, but I guess "that day" always comes.

I didn't like Ponyo, or at least it didn't manage to make me see it to its end.

watched Castle in the Sky on TV earlier, sad news indeed but like you say An4 these days have to come at some point, may he have many enjoyable years more.
