Interesting how Moeby brings in so many cultural elements I associate from around the world and blends them in to a relatively harmonious whole. It makes me wonder what his world and cultural philosophies were like, how much he studied history, and how long he spent on detailed visual designs like this.

I remember reading a co-interview he had with Miyazaki, and while the former seemed to speak clearly and comprehensively, Giraud seemed to be speaking as if from dreamland, with the interviewer and Miyazaki frequently not quite sure what he meant(!) But maybe that makes perfect sense for one such as he.

OTOH, watching this fun video, a younger Moeby seemed utterly present, focused, and in the moment, altho of course there wasn't a lot of dialogue, and the format was very different.

I can think of a possible reason for that. As far as I know Giraud regularly utilized drugs. For example he developed his own fast drawing technique that included microdosing Cannabis during work. I also heard first hand, from someone who personally met Giraud once, that he was quite fond of LSD.
