Answer:

Agree.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stories are and have always been sources or means of relaying information, inspiration, or even lessons. They may be made-up stories, or from real life. But their functionality of helping people through life's challenges, or phases, or even good and bad times will always remain.

Hayao Miyazaki's statement about anime movies and how they help inspire people, irrespective of their plot is true. This is because stories are always the easiest yet the most laborious and time-consuming activities. And it is through these stories that one can get inspiration from, and also stimulate, amaze, or even help a person develop into better human beings. And it's not to say that stories will always have only a positive impact on a person. There are also instances of how stories have negatively impacted people, leading them to do horrific deeds. But the overall purpose of what Miyazaki said is that stories do have the ability to inspire, amaze, and stimulate their listeners.
