The director and veteran of Studio Ghibli plans to retire after the release of How Do You Live? which will forgo trailers and marketing ahead of its Japanese release next month
and they’re absolutely right about this. when’s the last time i watched a preview before going into a Ghibli film? at most, i’ll decide “i want to watch a Ghibli film this week” and then go to the review sites or fan forums or ask my friends to choose which one to watch. but you don’t really need more than that when you’ve built an audience that trusts you in the way Miyazaki’s fans do.
he’s earned his respect, and now he’s calling upon it. i respect that.
I find trailers often help feed my hype for seeing something or help tip me for/against seeing something. The second part definitely isn’t going to be in play here, but the first part still can.
