I, a huge Hayao Miazaki movie fan, was touched today by watching Studio Ghibli's Ponyo, full of warm art and animation. The colourful and striking character Ponyo was a hit with my whole family, grandchildren to grandparents, captivating us with her transformation from golden fish to human. My Mother who seeks out hidden messages in Anime Cartoons found it ironic that this story about a tsunami being caused by a disregard for the balance of nature was Miyazaki's last film before Japan's 3/11 disaster. The layers of profoundity contained in this animated story serve as an inspiration to me as an aspiring Japanese games developer and animator.
