Huh. Well that’s interesting considering Suzuki’s recent alleged scandals.

Basically - Suzuki misappropriated funds while giving a lot of money to his mistress straight from Ghibli's studio pocket, and that was the cause of a conflict of interest between him and Hoshino.

For those of you that didn't know or not aware, Toshio Suzuki is currently facing a scandal involving having a girlfriend from Thailand and mis-appropriating funds. I've known the scandal since late March, and I'm surprised ANN didn't report on this given some mainstream attention it got via Variety, CBR, etc....
Uh ANN, why wasn't this reported earlier given that several mainstream media had reported this since late March? |

My guess is that ANN's editorial policy doesn't see the tabloid that broke the news about Suzuki's scandal as a trustworthy enough source, and they're waiting for more "reputable" Japanese media to "report" on it - in other words, parrot Ghibli's official press release which naturally will never come because admitting their leader f-ked up would be bad PR for the studio. |

Seriously, who is still working at Ghibli? As far as I can tell it's only Hayao and Goro Miyazaki.

Specifically, March 29, when Shūkan Josei posted (as noted in ANN's article).
Variety and Cartoon Brew, like ANN, did not post on this until Ghibli's official statement on Tuesday. (Variety actually posted about two hours after ANN, and Cartoon Brew posted about three hours after.) https://variety.com/2023/film/asia/studio-ghibli-hoshino-koji-1235572918/ https://www.cartoonbrew.com/executives/ghibli-president-koji-hoshino-out-after-suzuki-scandal-227538.html |

Please don't ever mention Cartoon Brew ever again please. I had a rough time with them and I am trying to end with them for good. |
