Hayao Miyazaki moans about anime. He moans about America. He moans about young people. And he moans about his own work. Once removed from his pedestal, he just seems like a bit of a blimp and a moaning old git. He's rather good at drawing.
And before you all pile in on me for daring to besmirch your hero, note that I am simply holding him to the same standard as Walt Disney is held by his detractors. Stop putting creatives on pedestals. We're all awful.
