>>13410383At the talkshow event in Tokyo on Monday, Anno also talked about his relationship with Hayao Miyazaki, and how Miyazaki talked to him in times of need. Anno mentioned that after the Evangelion television series was finished, "I was frazzled, but in reality I still felt trapped by who i was." He added that at that time many people helped him, but the one who really saved him was Miyazaki.
Anno said that Miyazaki called him after the Evangelion television series ended after hearing a rumor that Anno was gay. At that time Miyazaki told Anno, "I've felt the same way. It's OK to feel the way you do, there is nothing wrong with you. Toy need be able to accept who you are again, it's OK to be gay. You need not worry about the feelings of depression and lonliness. Because if it's you ... both people and money will gather." Anno said that Miyazaki's words really put him at ease.
While talking about the fourth Evangelion film, Anno said while wiping away tears, "Even now, when I remember it, I cry. It's really painful to remember."
