So what now? Has Ghibli lost its throne to Shinkai and Kyonai? Will it ever be relevant again?
Their best directors are retired and their doors are closed, I'm not sure why you're expecting relevance.
I blame meme magic for this.

Ghibli means nothing without Miyazaki. Almost every one of their movies without his name has bombed in the box office. Red Turtle gets it even worse for being a Gaijin arthouse movie.

Red Turtle is not a Ghibli film. Non-Disney/Pixar animated films don't do well in Japan.

I wonder what happened?
I wouldn't see a movie from someone I despise, and after all he said about so many other animators, for me he's finished.

Miyazaki had nothing to do with the movie, and what did he even say about other animators?

Can kyoani even beat wind rises?
The industry is flopping. Otaku will have to find some other entertainment in order to appear different.

Even koe no katachi made over $10 million.
Evergarden will easily pass wind rises.
