HI EVERYONE IS ME ANGRY BIRDS FAN AND COSSOVER FAN AKA ROWDY

YOU ON CHIBLI WIKI it Nice To you (RULES If Need Q&A TELL ME)

I am not an admin, so this is just me suggesting changes.

It has been a while since I have last been here, Now I see how much better this wiki has become, everything seems way smoother, and more well presented, but I think there are still important changes to be made.

Pages on major characters like Chihiro don't even have history segments, when pages about side characters like Lin have expansive and long history segments. (From the pages I've seen lately Lin might be the best page.) So I think it's important that we as a community make big important changes on certain pages, and first prioritizing pages on main characters, from what I remember Porco's page barely had any substance. So thanks for coming to my TED talk, I am 100% down and ready to help out with pages if anyone wants help.

I think it is important that arguably the best animation studio we as humans have ever seen has a great wiki that accurately documents the history of the films and characters in them.

I'm really hoping this gets a good community reaction because I have tried to helped to make a big change for pages on the wiki before and it got virtually no reaction, so let's hope folks.

Hey there! i'm a die hard Ghibli fan!

Ghibli fan here. How are all of you doing?

With another Ghibli inspired piece

Kinda working I guess

A few days ago I published a Totoro fan art about Totoro as a mercenary. Now, the drawing is gone. It has dissapeared. Why? There was a mistake or the drawing wasn't apropiate? It was offensive to the community?

With the research I've been doing lately, I've been trying to find more accurate photos of Yutaka Fujioka, Osamu Kameyama, Yutaka Wada, Hideo Ogata, and many others. Though I've been searching high and low online for any information on these people, coming up with conflicting information that doesn't seem to match up.

To be frank, I'm not sure there are any accurate photos of these people online. Case in point is that the article here on Hideo Ogata actually uses a photo of Yûji Nunokawa, who has in fact worked in anime but is not Hideo Ogata.

I'm not sure if it was just a common thing for no photos to ever be taken, or maybe that many of the photos of certain people will never be identified even though photos may exist.

There are a few photos featured The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, talking about Suzuki's experience as an editor. I suspect that it's possible, if this is Tokuma Shoten that one of these people next to Suzuki may in fact be Ogata or one of the other main contributors to helping Miyazaki realize his dreams as a mangaka and animator of his own original works.

With the recent Animage exhibit, it would have been nice if Suzuki, Animage, or even Nozomu Takahashi would have provided more information about these people and photos of them. I may be in the minority, but I actually would like to know who these people were and have a face to match, the correct face. Otherwise it's just a name, and I rather not put a name tag over a manikin if I'm trying to draw these people.

Hopefully someone will find the right photos sooner than later.

Hey! I'm Toby, I was raised on Ghibli. I started watching Ghibli sense I was about 1 or even younger. I watched it with my brother and parents and I liked to pretend I was ponyo. I really like Ponyo, Totoro, Castle in the sky, Kiki's delivery service, Pom Poko, and When Marnie Was There, Princess Mononoke, Nausica of the Valley of wind, Arrietty, The Cat Returns (but does the cat return?), Porco Rosso. I don't like grave of the fireflys, it made me really sad when I first watched it. I hope I get welcomed to this wiki!

If you enjoyed grave of the fireflies then I suggest watching a movie called barefoot gen, and no offense but I liked it better than grave of the fireflies. You can watch it on YouTube for free

So I've been doing a bit of research lately into the making of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, yet every time I get to the part where we transition from the manga to the film, the information get sketchy. They usual information presented in wiki entries is this:

"Hideo Ogata and Yasuyoshi Tokuma, the founders of Animage and Tokuma Shoten respectively, encouraged Miyazaki to work on a film adaptation. Miyazaki initially refused, but agreed on the condition that he could direct."

Although it can be noted that Ogata, and possibly Tokuma, did advocate for Miyazaki to pursue a film adaptation, there is no account that is cited in any wiki source that validates that he initially refused but agreed on the condition he could direct. There is only one source online that has been cited for this, and it was by Dr. Marc Hairston who had a anime themed class at The University of Texas at Dallas. Interview by a G.B. Hiranuma.

So one of the conditions he placed on Animage was that he would do the manga only if they agreed that it wouldn't be made into an anime later on. They said, "yes," but within a few issues it was clear Nausicaa was very popular with the readers. So the publishers of Animage came to him and said "this is very popular, will you reconsider and let us make a movie out of this?" Originally he said, "No" but then he changed his mind and said "Ok, I'll let you do it if you let me be the director." - Dr. Marc Hairston, professor at The University of Texas at Dallas

The issue here is that Dr. Hairston never gave a source for that information. We have no idea where exactly he got that information. In the Art of Nausciaä book from April of 2019, it was noted that the process of getting the Miyazaki to work on an animated adaptation was tedious, but it was never mentioned that he flat out refused. It is noted that in multiple sources that he wanted to make the work so it couldn't be adapted to animation, but never flat out refused to make it an animated movie when approached.

Though there may be a source, such as either Suzuki or Miyazaki, that can confirm whether or not it is true that Miyazaki refused but then agreed with the condition. It would be even better if Dr. Hairston could offer up his source if he is still around or someone close who can provide the info so we can validate the wiki link on the film page. I think it's important that the information on these wiki pages be as correct as possible and that piece seems to be a glaring one.

So if you're feeling eager to find the truth about whether this was true, I would encourage everyone to dig deep. Open up your books, make a few emails/calls, and lets see if we can get to the bottom of this.
