Basically they have shut down their production department because they have nothing to make next. Suzuki says they will decide what's next after taking a break, but that's just him and the stakeholders, the employees have definitely been let go. Again, I explained this before that it's not really surprising because everyone who could direct another movie for Ghibli right now isn't in a position to. Business-wise it's a logical move and doesn't mean anything definite in future.
So everyone has been laid off, huh?
I know it's not anything definite, but just knowing that all of their employees have been fired and no one is working on anything anymore...it's just incredibly sad imagining an empty, abandoned studio.
