Hayao Miyazaki 1/5/41-7/1/06
Hello. It's been awhile since I wrote something here. But this seemed to call for it. Sorry it's so short.
With great sadness I learned that on July 1, Hayao Miyazaki died of a stroke. He was the creator of such masterworks as 'My Neighbor, Totoro', 'Castle Calliostro', 'Spirited Away', and 'Nausica'.
As my friend Doug Rice put it, his death brings to an end the great age of 2-D (or "flat") animation.
He was one of the few moviemakers that I would have cheerfully sold the Girl Genius rights to and been secure in the knowledge that he would have produced a superior film, guaranteed.

This is unconfirmed, the standard news sources are not yet reporting this. I'm sure it will be confirmed or disproved in the next few days.
