This is just more of a official announcement. Most know it was going to happen for some time as they announced that their last film was going to e the last. It is sad...Lots of great stuff came out from there.

That's disappointing.
At least they decided to go out with dignity. It's best to end their legacy on a high note rather than continue to run it into the ground (unlike certain television shows which refuse to end).

Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Seems that way. Looks like they might just be restructuring a bit.

How sad. I hope the great artists start a new one or get on with a new one; I'm sure their resumés look impressive.
Now I need a marathon of Ghibi movies now.
*EDIT*
Maybe not yet:

Maybe... there's other rumors that they might close down because of 3d animation... Well, 3d has already destroyed Disney's 2d animation studios, now anime! I hope not... I like anime and if it's going to be in 3d maybe in 10 years, it'll never ever look right. But, the majority people of the world likes 3d animation and besides, making 3d projects is more cheaper then hand drawn.. So there you go.

Why does everyone say 3D/CGI animation destroyed 2D/Traditional Disney Animation?
During the 90s many of Disney's Traditional Animations apparently didn't fair very well (I don't know why, I like movies like Hercules...but apparently the general audiences didn't like it...I guess...). This is what destroyed 2D Disney. Yes during that time Movies like Toy Story and Bug's Life started popping up, but Disney's traditional studios would have still done less then expected if they hadn't. Disney only shut down the 2D projects because people seemed to gravitate towards the CGI and their 2D projects weren't doing as predicted anyways.
So long story short, 3D didn't hurt Disney's 2D studios, rather they were already hurting when 3D showed up.

If you read on this stuff its common for Japanese animation studios like this to take breaks/time off every once in a while

Maybe, but I doubt this studio is taking a break. For all we know, they may decide to have it closed down and dismanlte it.
