Never will such an impactful figure in Japanese animation on the same level as Tezuka, Miyazaki, or Kon be forgotten. This man found ways to turn reality into fantasy with such raw emotions and genuine characters, whether it be two kids trying to survive in Japan during the end of WWII, a young woman reminiscing back to her childhood, or a princess from the moon growing up with a bamboo cutter family whilst being raised in a palace. For his contributions to animation, Isao Takahata will forever be remembered as one of the most iconic Japanese animation directors the world has ever known. Farewell Takahata, may your films progress in their legacies for years on out.
Amazing Tribute Tony. In my eyes, he may not been as big as the legendary Hayao Miyazaki himself but knowing he worked with him & founded Studio Ghibli together. And his most prolific films such as Grave of the Fireflies & Tale of Princess Kaguya will live on forever.
Studio Ghibli was and still is a big part of my childhood, his death means that a part of Ghibli is now lost, Grave of the fireflies will forever be one of my favourite movies and we all will forever remember the impact you had in animation. Rest in peace Mr Takahata.
I could feel that you really liked his works. Tbh, his death is heartbreaking for me. His works influenced me a lot in this lifetime, as well. I guess you'll never ever be ready if someone dear to you just disappear forever. May he rest in peace. His legacy will not be forgotten. Thank you so much for the tribute. It eased me some of the pain.
"Like it or not, a caterpillar must first live as a chrysalis before becoming a butterfly. Maybe I remember those days because I am going through a chrysalis stage." ---Isao Takahata
RIP Takahata. You definitely changed the anime industry forever for the better and with your movies you always challenged your audience to dig deeper and realise the true magic of storytelling. You will be missed
Definetly watching Tale of Princess Kaguya in honor of him tonight. Rest in peace Mr Takahata, you were a staple in the anime industry and you were a huge tallent in the community. You will be deeply missed for years to come.
I don’t know how to express this but there are 2 words that I wanted to tell him, which is “Thank You”. I may never met him in person. I’ve always believed that Isao Takahata is a very great person because the movies it reflected on him. Those movies, I’ve watched all of them, but I bet I can’t watch those movies again without feeling nostalgic ever since I’ve found out that he is dead. It hurts but we must accept it. He deserves rest after all the masterpieces he made. I hope that they will create a movie regarding to Isao Takahata’s life as thanks for his hardwork and everything... R.I.P Isao Takahata 😢
This director made the first movie in but actually made me cry when I was a cynical kid With grave of the fireflies. Then made me cry again with Princess Kaguya as teen, and finally with Pom Poko showed me to find some for my happiness through tough time.RIP For the people that haven’t seen his movies and might be interested now. You’re so lucky because you get to experience a master at work with fresh eyes.
today is the last day of my spring break and I was thinking of studio ghibli and looked it up and saw this......at this point I'm not afraid of death but I am more afraid of my inspirations dying :( off to college next year and I can't bear my inspirations passing away. Rest in peace Isao
Isao Takahata was the greatest inspirational director who have directed many Studio Ghibli movies, including Grave of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday. The Tale of The Princess Kaguya was he last film.
@@coc_champs are you sure, that is a belgian francois movie co produced also by ghibli but the man was mr. suzuki, how could takahata being just only an executive producer when strongly ill ?
Thanks for this beautiful tribute and thanks to Takahata-sensei for all the moments of Beauty and Wonder he gave us in all these years. I grew up with his series in the 70s and I'm still enjoying his masterpieces. Sad day. :(
I think I've seen all the movies he directed now. Though My Neighbors The Yamadas wasn't as strong as I thought it would be, it was just a series of family episodes. Though I related strongly to Only Yesterday and Pom Poko was very interesting and well done. What I couldn't stop going on about though was the tanuki ball sacks. XD
I am heartbroken over this. He is my favorite filmmaker of all time, and I can't begin to express how much his movies mean to me and have effected my life. It's a shame that he never gained the recognition he truly deserved, but he did leave a lasting legacy in the industry and will for years to come through his work. Rest in peace, Isao.
To Isao, may you rest in peace. You were taken from us too soon. May you and your legacy never be forgotten. I promise that I, once I have children, will show your films to my children.
Such a beautiful animation, and yet I can't watch "Grave of the Fireflies" a second time. it's so painful and poignant in describing the human condition.
I agree. As beautifully animated as it is. Takahata made sure that the film would be more than memorable with its art and storytelling. Miyazaki's last film, "The Boy and the Heron", pays many homages to his deceased partner. Especially noteworthy are the scenes of the firebombing of Tokyo drawn very much like the very painful scene in "Grave of the Fireflies".
Currently watching Only Yesterday. Just can't get over the feeling that he's actually gone. The music and the visuals are so beautifully made that it's so heartbreaking to watch... ;C RIP from Denmark.
I didn't watch much Studio Ghibli films, but it is still very sad that Takahata passed away. His date of death was actually my birthday. He will really be missed. R.I.P. Isao Takahata 1935-2018
Him and Miyazaki have elevated japan animation above industrial mass production and pushed it to the quality we have today, from Ghibli or other studios, Tezuka must be feeling a little less lonely now and Miyazaki a little more
Mr. Takahata made many animations with Mr. Miyazaki. Japanese landscape and culture were handed down to the world by an animation. Mr. Takahata is a Japanese pride.sayonara.ありがとう高畑先生。安らかにお眠りください。from japan (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)
I haven't seen Grave of the Fireflies, though I should, but didn't know he was the director of The Tale of Princess Kaguya which was such an amazing film. He also had such a different arrange of styles which I love. RIP Isao Takahata, he will be missed. Thank you for making a touching tribute!
Just watched grave of the fireflies in his memory. I cried so much. Thank you takahata .thank you for all sweet & sad moments that you gave us. Rest in peace
R.I.P Isao Takahata, we will miss you.
We will miss him dearly
What?! Dammit that man made my childhood! Well, now that he's passed on, I'm sure he's making movies for the angels in the sky.
Grave of the fireflies is my all time favourite movie 💫. Rip from India ❤️

RIP Takahata san, and thank you for giving us so many great stories.
R.I.P. Isao Takahata. Your stories, your animations, your messages - I will never forget them.
Oh no, what a lost, R.I.P
Respect man. May what ever deity or belief carry him through. Amen
Thank you for everything Isao

I'm still upset I was so late to find out. Thank you for this tribute and thank you Mr Takahata, for everything.
Isao Takahata was the greatest inspirational director who have directed many Studio Ghibli movies, including Grave of the Fireflies and Only Yesterday.
The Tale of The Princess Kaguya was he last film.
Well he produced some after that so that was not his last film. :'(
@@coc_champs what did he produce after that ?
@@XanAxDdu "The Red Turtle" and it was a oscar nominated movie.
@@coc_champs are you sure, that is a belgian francois movie co produced also by ghibli but the man was mr. suzuki, how could takahata being just only an executive producer when strongly ill ?
@@XanAxDdu 🤦
Isao Takahata, you will never be forgotten by me by two things: Grave of the Fireflies and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. 😢
This is honestly the first time I've heard of this guy. Even though I've only found out about him now I hope he rest in piece.
RIP really made an impact on anime
Thanks for this beautiful tribute and thanks to Takahata-sensei for all the moments of Beauty and Wonder he gave us in all these years. I grew up with his series in the 70s and I'm still enjoying his masterpieces. Sad day. :(
RIP from Germany. Thank you for the beautiful Moments..
You know what's crazy
HE DIED ON AKIRA TORIYAMAS BIRTHDAY
justsaiyan awwwww shiit that suuuckkkks. damn.
I barely know who this guy is but damn did that make me wanna cry
Thank You Isao Takahata SAMA for your wonderful work, you will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Good Sir
Thank you for bring Kaguya and Grave of the Fireflies and many more wonderful stories to life and into our lives. You had such visual storytelling.
I think I've seen all the movies he directed now. Though My Neighbors The Yamadas wasn't as strong as I thought it would be, it was just a series of family episodes. Though I related strongly to Only Yesterday and Pom Poko was very interesting and well done. What I couldn't stop going on about though was the tanuki ball sacks. XD

I am very sorry about this lost!
To Isao, may you rest in peace. You were taken from us too soon. May you and your legacy never be forgotten. I promise that I, once I have children, will show your films to my children.
And pass on your films to the next generation.
R.I.P. Takahata-sensei
*Salute*
RIP MR.Takahata. Thanks for all the masterpieces
Rest in Peace Isao, you will be forever missed
I am truly heartbroken... i can't believe this is true... we lost a great director, a great human being... /__\ ¿¿`
Such a beautiful animation, and yet I can't watch "Grave of the Fireflies" a second time. it's so painful and poignant in describing the human condition.
eu também, é horrivel demais sofrer vendo esse filme, o da princesa kaguya tbm é beeeem triste, um dos q eu menos revejo

Beautiful video. Only Yesterday is still my favorite movie ever, after all these years. So, i especially love the song you choose. :-) Thank you!
Wow, I just re watched Grave the other day and it's been on my mind alot, and now this, damn. RIP Takahata, absolute genius artist.
No 😢😢 I can't believe it.
Sayonara great master, the world will never forget your legacy! You will be missed. 💕

Tony this is the best tribute I have ever watch in my life
Rip.❤
Oh shit. This guy just died? I've not watched a movie he's made yet but I know he's a big part Gibhli. RIP. ^_^
The cause of Isao Takahata's death: Lung Cancer. Most of the film directed by Isao Takahata are underrated. I watched Only Yesterday and Pom Poko.
I wish I could live in one of his animations forever.
If I could it would be in, "The Tale of Princess Kaguya".
It is like a "living" artistic masterpiece and every scene is worthy of framing.
@@charlie-obrien I almost have forgotten Princess Kaguya. I have to watch it again. Bot good one
