Studio Ghibli deleted its Twitter account , shocking fans. Up to now, the studio has not made any official announcement regarding this action, nor has there been any move on the possibility of creating a new account instead. This article will give the two most feasible reasons for Ghibli's work this time.
First reason: Proving the hotness of Miyazaki Hayao's works
The world-famous anime studio deleted its official Twitter account at 12:00 a.m. Friday morning in Japan (ie 10:00 p.m. Thursday in Vietnam). Currently, you cannot find Studio's account on the Twitter platform anymore.
Many fans believe that Ghibli's above action is proving their absolute faith in the works of director Miyazaki Hayao. He is the author of hit movies such as: Sen and Chihiro in the mystical world, My Neighbor Totoro, Howl's Flying Castle, Ponyo the Mermaid Girl,... So the promotion for Miyazaki's films is unnecessary.
Director Miyazaki's works incorporate many messages and are very deep
This is not a spontaneous action but was planned 3 years ago. In December 2020, when the studio was preparing for the release of director Hayao Miyazaki's latest anime movie - The Boy and the Heron (Kimi-tachi wa Do Ikiru ka), Studio Ghibli representatives and Mr. announced "This is his last work" (although he recently denied this information) and the film will not need to be promoted in any form.
The Studio representative stated that The Boy and the Heron does not need promotional activities
Studio Ghibli's statement is completely feasible because The Boy and the Heron left a deep impression and achieved much success even though the film did not have heavy promotional activities. Up to this point, although not yet released in the international market, Mr. Miyazaki Hayao's latest brainchild still earned nearly 85 billion yen, and also entered the Top 19 highest-grossing anime in Japan.
Reason 2: Because Nippon company has other plans
Because director Hayao Miyazaki could not find a successor, he decided to merge Studio Ghibli into Nippon TV Company. So it cannot be ruled out that Nippon is about to make some changes, including the Twitter account. Maybe Nippon wants to create an innovation for the studio as well as signal a completely new future for Ghibli?
Nippon TV has invested in Studio Ghibli in many projects
Although the above speculations depend on previous premises, they are still just hypotheses until Ghibli makes an official announcement behind Studio Ghibli's action of deleting its Twitter account . And you, what do you think about this issue?
