Farewell to a legend

I have just been informed that on July 1, Hayao Miyazaki died of a stroke. He was the creator of such masterworks as 'My Neighbor, Totoro', 'Castle Calliostro','Spirited Away', and 'Nausica'.

[Edit] Hmm... The post that informed me of the fact now seems to have disappeared, so I am a bit suspicious of this fact now...
