I feel trolled.  Miyazaki = Hayao Miyazaki.  Any other Miyazaki should have their full name stated.

lol you make it sound like like hayao miyazaki is such a big star.i love his movies though

He's pretty much a legend in animated films, and well respected by cinema in general.  He's recieved an Academy Award, numerous Japanese awards, and anyone who's watched a few of his films know he's special.

This is especially true in our demographic (video game enthusiasts), as there is a high correlation between enjoying video games and enjoying animated films.  There have been multiple threads on this site along the lines of "What is your favorite Miyazaki movie" over the years.  If you don't believe me just check out some of the replies in this thread expressing confusion.

@leatherhat: Did you really just compare a video game to movies?  I think Demon's Souls is amazing, but to compare it to a movie is stupid.  Demon's Souls hardly even has a story (not a negative by any means).  Nonetheless, many of Miyazaki's works are hailed as some of the best animated films of all time, and are also in the conversation for best films of all time (2 show up in Roger Ebert's 100 Best Movies of all time, for example).  Demon's Souls, while a great game, isn't generally brought up in a list of greatest games of all times.  It's also a single game vs. a whole library of films that have met critical and commercial success.

Rarely are critics right about anything- plus movies blow
