In an interview, director Mamoru Hosoda said, "There is a Japanese animation master who always puts out the main character of his work as a girl, but I will not mention his name. To be honest, I think he is doing this because he lacks confidence as a man himself." (t/n: he also added "This veneration of young women really disturbs me and I do not want to be part of it,") causing controversy. The reporter who reported the interview speculated that he had shot Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki.
In fact, Hayao Miyazaki's films such as 'Spirited Away', 'Mononoke Hime' (Princess Mononoke), and 'Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind' all feature a girl as the main character.
In the past, Hayao Miyazaki appointed Mamoru Hosoda as the director of Howl's Moving Castle (Howl) and started the production process. However, after that, director Hosoda stepped down from the production of 'Howl' and Hayao Miyazaki took over the production of the film.
Netizens expressed various reactions such as "Director Hayao Miyazaki's view of women is not perfect, but director Mamoru Hosoda is not qualified to talk about it" and "Hosoda's point is not wrong".
Director Hosoda Mamoru has made an animated film with a girl as the main character in 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time'. He premiered his latest film, 'Bell', in the premiere section of the non-competitive section of the Cannes International Film Festival.

1. How dare this perverted loser talk like this?
2. Don't touch Hayao
3. So he's introducing himself?
4. Looks like self-dissing has become more and more creative nowadays
5. Even if he wasn't attacking director Miyazaki, he's not the one to talk about anything
6. All the female characters created by Miyazaki Hayao were so strong? What is he on?
7. He's an ignorant writer who has no perception of genders
8. All of Miyazaki Hayao's female characters were so good... He's different from all the cliche female characters made by Japanese animes
9. I heard Miyazaki Hayao is preparing a new movie, I hope it comes out soon
10. And you lack confidence as a human being, so what are you talking about?
