So much does Studio Ghibli want no part in the unnatural evils of nuclear power that it has proclaimed it wants to produce anime using non-nuclear electricity.
The statement was spotted emblazoned on the top of one of their buildings, looking very much like the work of primary schoolers.
Miyazaki is of course famous for his dementedly anti-technology views, so the proclamation is surprising only in its boldness and placement.
It is not clear whether they have actually taken any steps to put this objective into practice – short of installing solar panels and a diesel generator there is no much they can do to avoid using tainted electricity.
Indeed, considering that their production of anime masterpieces is in fact directly responsible for increasing demand for nuclear power as people turn to their TVs to watch their products, it does not seem the most well thought out of positions.
On a lighter note, observers cannot help but notice how depressingly shabby the horrible building in question is:
They do possess a much more Ghibli-esque HQ, but how much of their production actually occurs there is not clear.
Kyoto Animation’s studio also resembles the horrendous sweatshop it in fact most likely is:

Ghibli making anime by candlelight, a few S&M candles might spice up the building.
But the sun which grows the plants that they eat and the trees their paper is made from is nuclear energy!
yeah and it's millions of miles away from us and we still get fucked.
Ryuuji: Wow Taiga I never knew that you were knowledgeable about these kinds of stuff
On a more serious note, Nuclear. . .Tainted you might as well stop breathing if your so concerned. Now I love Ghilbi but like Carbon Dioxide, it's everywhere
Yeah, but the Sun is much clearer than a nuclear plant, because it's not have (or in really small amount) radioactive element.
this is not correct
haha, oh wow
@18:49 ozone layer, look it up
@18:49 solar wind as well
Without the earths natural magnetism and several other factors that ward off solar radiation you would be exposed to more radiation that you can even possibly imagine. Every cell in your body would be destroyed before you even were aware what what happening.
If you go to space without Spacesuit, you will died from Radiation exposure 50 times, before you die because lacked of Air
Btw Solar power kill 100 times more People than Nuclear power in 50 year.
So does Wind
ah dont even mention to use Water, because The greatest dam in the world (three gorgeos Dam) is no 1 Ecological catasthropy. outlasting Chernobyl by 15 times in scale. - you cn read national geographic for "Green-and-Clean" water based Power
so we basically die of everything!
its someting to think about....
and then turn around to see anime and play Ps3 like nothing happened.
sry, i'm still trying to find a better word than "you fail"
sun = nuclear fusion
nuclear reactors = nuclear fission
Which doesn't really help, considering fusion still generates a lot of ionizing radiation.
But it doesn't create waste that goes on radiating for a few thousand years.
yeah but for the sun we have the ozone layer and the atmosphere, for failing reactors we have nothing.
We don't have failing reactors. The Fukushima case is hardly even worth mentioning on the background of a GOD DAMN TSUNAMI.
While we are at it, just drop the Chernobyl already, bringing it up today is like complaining about the technical flaws of computers made way back in the 70s.
God, I hate those dicks that ordered the Chernobyl experiments. It introduced an entire generation of people who just need one word to give out "expert" opinions in nuclear energy.
@7:36
Oh don't worry about that. We are doing our best to get rid of that pesky ozone layer using the only type of energy that can reliably substitute nuclear power.
If you have to say "solar/wind/whatevergreenthingyouwant" then you are either some ultra genius capable of solving all of the world's troubles or you are not qualified to speak of energetics at all.
miyazaki is just beating a dead horse, because as of right now, he doesnt need to worry about using any "nuclear power".
one day, though, we'll all be sitting back enjoying free energy, laughing at the days when we used to dabble in such barbaric methods.
Go make anime in a cave with some sticks then, let us know how that turns out.
Sticks were part of plant which used the tainted nuclear power of the Sun to exist, so that would still be wrong.
Using you fingers to draw would be bad as well, because your body grew thanks to nutrition tainted with that curse.
Therefore, if you really want to be honest with your beliefs You should cease to exist and not hinder the rest of humanity in it's path to godhood. :3
Amen to that, Nekomancer~
Even Silent Hill is nuclear-powered, since being environmentally-friendly just won't cut it with a warping town full of sinners...
*goes back to fap on various Ghibli straight-shota doujins*
Just make sure the sticks are from environmentally sustainable trees.
TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO ANIMATE THIS IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!!!
But Miyazaki is not Tony Stark!!! Now I need pictures of Spider-man!!
yeah, Tony Stark looks humble compared to Miyazaki
Miyazaki is real, a genius, and a living legend.
Tony stark is a bland, 3rd rate character. Portrayed in movies by a cokehead.
Miyazaki has more success during his breakast than you will ever have.
@07:19 You left out the fact that Tony Stark is a drunk. In any case, still more interesting than Miyazaki.
Yeah anon 07:19 you can suck as much miyazaki dick as you want, but he is still a douche ;)
James camoron can get butts in the seats for most of his movies, but it doesn't excuse the fucking hypocrisy he dribbles out with his "save gaia" shit. You should youtube a look at his MEGA MANSION. So too should we Not hold back and blast that old fart of a "master" of entertainment when he declares such stupidity as mentioned above!
+ No nuke on my watch? I hate technology?!
If so; why is he wearing the clothes and checks the watch on his arm? Or even draw for the matter~ since it is all made by MACHINES [Inks, Cels, paints, cameras, pencils, lights,~]! Hand made wears? MACHINE spinned strings! Glasses to prevent walking off a stair or cliff in low lights? MACHINE formed lenses and frame! Dark and needing light? Even if you just use wood, it's more than likely you needed tools to make the torches of which are MACHINE made tools!
~it goes on, but I'll leave it here as showing what a fucking 'TARD this old libertard old fart is when he FLEW around euroland in a goddamn FUCKING PLANE!
Of course inside said box of scraps was one of Pixar's old computers with the HD's intact.
Kung-fu is everywhere. In those trees, in those bees, in those buildings.
There is actually a secret underground kung-fu facility and everything...
Meaning they make anime by Magical???
Kyoto Animation actually gets praise for letting their staff members go home on time, which is rare anywhere in Japan. So I think they are the least likely to be compared to a sweatshop.
oh where does it says that?
Ixquick/Google/Yahoo/Bing/Ask/etc. Like everything else in life.
"Indeed, considering that their production of anime masterpieces is in fact directly responsible for increasing demand for nuclear power as people turn to their TVs to watch their products, it does not seem the most well thought out of positions."
Really...
And the people won't turn their TVs to watch some dumb TV show instead if the studio didn't produce anything?
They are trying to make a statement, not solve the world's energy problems by shutting down a few lights.
Ghibli, KyoAni.
Your Feng shui is weak...
They're telling you to look at their works not where they work.
...and I like their building. The Ghibli one at least, with those 2 round windows on top. They're both decently old buildings though.
Well....
At least kyoani is "better" than ghibli.
Ghibli makes more money, and great films and don't steal ideas from others (often ^^)
Compare to Pixar? Make a bigger animation company if you can from Japan (it won't work from Chicago).
Isn't it ironic that cute fun anime is made in a shaddy looking building.
Average buildings, not shaddy.
it's your average shady looking building
I can't believe this.
Let's judge the studio on how their building look like... I don't care as long as they make great movies.
That isn't even a picture of Pixar Studio. That's Disney Hollywood Studio Park.
but it has the word pixar
