According to Hollywood Channel News, Suzuki Toshio revealed the concept of the next film of Miyazaki Hayao. He said Studio Ghibli is now pursuing realism and the audience cannot watch Miyazaki's new movie at ease. "The earthquake has caused a social unrest, which affected the creators' mind greatly. Poverty has become a realistic threat for the general public. We had already expected the paradigm shift of Japanese society before the earthquake," Suzuki said.
