Ghibli Asemamire Episode Translation

An unofficial English translation of the August 2008 conversation between Toshio Suzuki and Mamoru Oshii is available for perusal. "The often-heated but always-friendly conversation touches a number of subjects, from Ponyo and The Sky Crawlers, to the state of the Japanese animation industry and the fate of hand-drawn animation." A highly recommended reading.
