What did he mean by this?

So why doesn't he know about Demon Slayer?

Shite bait, here's a better pasta
>In his first interview since 2024, reclusive director Hayao Miyazaki has given a rare interview to Hikaru Katada of Famitsu ostensibly to discuss his career and the drone of modern life.
>When Katada asked about the alarming new study revealing birth rates in Japan have plummeted to an all-time low, Miyazaki paused, studied the table between them, and then simply pointed at the Katada’s iPhone with a withering expression of pre-apocalyptic clairvoyance.
>“That right there,” Hayao said, according to the piece. “That rectangle is the baby now. It glows. It pings. The adult baby rattler.”
>When pressed further on the anime industry’s role in this decline, Miyazaki responded: “Anime studios still believe it’s in the enlightenment business. It’s not. It’s packaging plastic for people who want their shelves to look quirky on Twitter (now X).”
>In the full interview, the legendary director also laments the current state of anime, saying most of them now are “just long-form apologies disguised as self-help manuals with a moe coat.” When asked if he still believes they can change the world, Miyazaki clarified: “Anime did change the world. This is the result.”

Needs to come out of retirement to make a series of damning, dark, brooding movies condemning modernity, then die while cursing the audience and critics who praise them.

Anime create what the reggaeton music destroyed

It means he's not a fomo brainrotted retard that needs to engage with everything that's popular. i.e go the fuck back to Twitter.

Based. Everyone these days only watches Tiktok and Youtube anyway

So….what’s up with the picking up garbage thing? Is it a virtue signaling activity in Japan?

Also, even he wanted to and someone would pay him to go back into the industry — could he? Where would he even find the animation talent anymore?

It's called civic duty.
Also, it keeps elderly people active.
