Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Spirited Away's image of a train moving through shallow water has always grabbed me.
Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa are two of my top ten films. I'd do anything to have Miyazaki make one more.
I even bought Miramax's old marketing website and kept it online [1].
I was lucky enough to teach English in Hokkaido [2], which is where Ghibli animators drew inspiration for Princess Mononoke. It's such a beautiful place, and you can feel it in the film.

What about "The Wind Rises"?
He's "retired" like 3 times now, you might not have to do very much.
However, it couldn't just be a sequel of the movie, as it diverged from the manga story line near the end.
So in case someone comes to this without previous exposure Nausicaa may not be the best place to start. It _is_ nice.
Depending on how it's hosted, giving it a letsencrypt certificate isn't too much of a hassle. I'd be happy to help.
That’s awesome, private sale or did they let it drop?
