The Nippon TV (NTV) television broadcasting company announced on Thursday that it has decided to acquire 42.3% of the shares of world-famous animation studio Ghibli. This transaction, once completed, would make NTV the largest shareholder of the Ghibli, and turn the studio into a subsidiary of Nippon TV.

Not sure what to think of this, but compared to giving the studio to Goro it might have been the better alternative TBH. I just hope NTV doesn't lose sight of what makes Ghibli movies so special.

Eh, not only. Some of my favorite Ghibli films are Non-Miyazaki. I mean more generally things like their old-school animation techniques (don't want another Earwig), meaningful storytelling, not chasing current anime trends etc.
