Studio Ghibli will shut down its animation studio this year.
Their General Manager, Toshio Suzuki, is reported to have confirmed the news earlier today on a Japanese news-talk show. According to him, the company will transition to focus on licensing and merchandising characters and trademarks from its various classic films, while maintaining a small staff for "Miyazaki projects," though without an animation studio it is unclear what such projects would entail.

Do you think it's for real this time? It's a bit different than previous rumors/announcements, that usually concerned Miyazaki only.
