Famed director Hayao Miyazaki made a rare public appearance July 13 in Tokyo, where he talked about politics, not animation.

Responding to questions from reporters at his studio, Miyazaki criticized Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policies, including moves to relocate a U.S. military base to Okinawa Prefecture and revisit the pacifist postwar Constitution.

In the live-streamed one-hour news conference, Miyazaki said Abe wanted a place in history as the man who reinterpreted the Constitution, "which I think is despicable." (The Japan Times)
