Whaaaaaat? I thought Miyazaki was adamant that nobody else would own the company, and that it would be on maintenance mode after his death.

Well, he's not dead yet, is he? Maybe he stipulated on his death Studio Ghibli goes in maintenance mode...whatever that means.

Then again, Nippon TV buys the name and rights then feeds Princess Mono, Spirited Away, etc. into StableDiffusion/Midjourney/ChatGPT and BINGO! A new Studio Ghibli release every year for Xmas! /cynic

StableDiff is really good at making Ghibli images, or at least reference points.
