At this time, most anime fans are aware that Hayao Miyazaki despises most popular culture (even if he never actually said the infamous meme "Anime was a mistake"). Though he worked on a lot of TV anime early in his career, he has a strong dislike for television, which he believes has a negative impact on children in general. What you may not know is that he attributes the medium's spread and children's addiction to one specific TV franchise: the famous tokusatsu series Ultraman. In two pieces compiled in the book Turning Point: 1997-2008, Miyazaki outlines his dissatisfaction with Ultraman. According to the article ""Children started to believe the world inside television was more enticing than reality the moment Ultraman was first aired," he stated in "Recalling the Days of My Youth," published in The Akahata Sunday Edition in 1998. The best thing in the world for this Ultraman generation was Ultraman." He relates children's increased reliance on TV escapism to a society that fails them in real life.
