Hmmm... I have a lot of anime I like but typically I know I get what I'm looking for with a Hayao Miyazaki. ^_~ So I guess it'd be more like a favorite story teller, ne?
As for manga... Up until this month I had been patronizing Shojo Beat... but they don't seem to have a new issue out yet and I haven't gotten a newsletter in a while so I was wondering if they stopped printing.
It's kinda sad if they did. I have almost all their issues, even the pre-issue.
Baby and Me is one of my favorites as well as Kaze Hikaru and I also like Crimson Hero. I like strong girl leads. I don't typically like Soap Opera stuff or over regurgitated storylines. ^^()

They have a very repetitive standard of traditional beauty. Miyazaki seems to capture what is real more than the ideal. I like that.

From reading an interview with him long ago it seems he wishes he COULD make his female characters more attractive, but says that the problem with this is that they immediately become sexual objects to most guys. From what I gather he actually seems a bit saddened he has to make his female characters more plain-looking so to speak.
Anyway sorry to crush your thoughts of why Miyazaki doesn't use "gorgeous" women. :p
