Weathering with You

youtube.com/watch?v=DdJXOvtNsCY

When did you realize that Shinkai has become our generation's Miyazaki? He's nowhere as good and his movies aren't even remotely as interesting or unique, but it's undeniable that Shinkai is currently the biggest name in the anime world, nay, the biggest name in Japanese cinema world. Your Name is 2nd highest grossing Japanese movie of all time in Japan (3rd total, behind Spirited Away and Frozen), and Weathering with You is projected to gross upwards of 150 million. The only Japanese movies to make more than 100m in Japan are Ghibli's and the sequel to Bayside Shakedown, in other words, regardless of whether you accept it or not, Shinkai now has the same status as Miyazaki in Japan.

I like to believe that Miyazaki is regarded more for his directorial talent, than for his commercial success. And with that premise, a mediocre artist like Shinkai certainly can't be "our generation's Miyazaki", not even close.

>Miyazaki is regarded more for his directorial talent, than for his commercial success
He's, uh, definitely not. Most people mainly regard him just for being the only anime creator name they know.

Who else is even there besides Shinkai from our generation? Yuasa, Yoh, Imaishi, Yamada? Pretty mediocre list.

>Most people mainly regard him just for being the only anime creator name they know.
And that's because of his directorial talent.

>He's nowhere as good and his movies aren't even remotely as interesting
I must have missed most of Miyazaki's catalog because I don't recall him ever making an interesting movie.

>i hate anime: the post
Ask me how I know you're from Yea Forums and underage.

He's an acclaimed animator, that's it. Directional talent, kek. This best be a silly joke you're trying to push.

Ironically that's still much better than the generation that followed. But I'd say Hosoda is the best one of the bunch.

his movies are KINOS brainlet

When did Miyazaki's shallow adventure stories started to represent the essence of Japanese animation? Mecha stands for Japanese animation more than anything Miyazaki has ever touched. If his works are what you consider quintessential anime, why are you here or how come you've even gotten yourself to watch more than a hundred anime? You have seen a hundred anime, right?

Hosoda is borderline boomer. He's in the same group as Anno and Kon.

Hosoda is younger than Yuasa and just barely older than Imaishi, he also debuted as a director around the same time. He definitely belongs to that generation.

What would your name be without the pretty wallpaper visuals?
Incoherent mess thats what. Romance story no male cares about, nonsensical body swap and plot holes galore and not much else.
Even the meteor impact looked awful.

>if this element, irrelevant to the narrative and scripting, was removed, then narrative and scripting would be incoherent
Ah, alright. Isn't it time for your nap, Hayao?

>What would your name be without the pretty wallpaper visuals?
Nothing, like every Shikai flick.

Your name is shinkai using every tricks he has in the book for cheap dramas and shock value in order to pandering to the mass like most hollywood's movies so obviously it will have some audience, just not as big and the current one

Well, Takahata and him were definitely some of the most defining people for defining what Anime shaped up to be in the 70s. We probably have to thank Heidi for 90% of what this board is talking about.
Sure, with Ghibli they went on to become decidedly anti Mainstream, but still, their fingerprints are all over Anime.

>We probably have to thank Heidi for 90% of what this board is talking about
Braindamage it is.

mechas are for mega nerds and creepy figures fags who fap to these plastic toys,
it does not represent anime as a whole

>Mecha stands for Japanese animation more than anything Miyazaki has ever touched.
Okay, so you're not underage vedditor, just seething Tomino asslicking boomer.
>If his works are what you consider quintessential anime, why are you here or how come you've even gotten yourself to watch more than a hundred anime? You have seen a hundred anime, right?
What are you even getting at, old-timer?

Do you even have an idea what you're talking about, retard? Heidi set a new standard for animation in TV anime at time, did you even see it, and compare it with the other toy commercial of the era?
Not to mention that Miyazaki and Takahata were respinsable for the layout system, a revolutionary step in the animation process that is still used to this day.
Fucking retarded Shitkai loving children.

>Fucking retarded Shitkai loving children.
Pretty sure you're replying to the angry boo/m/er.

>Heidi set a new standard for animation in TV anime at time
You might wanna watch some television anime from that time. It's not even the most well animated show of its own year. It's acclaimed for it's sleep inducing storyboarding, spearheadded by the god of mecha, not its non-existent animation.

Yeah, it's too bad since Shinkai is so much worse than Miyazaki. The only thing Shinkai really has going for him is that his movies are pretty, but even then they feel a bit soulless and empty, probably because most of it is just traced photographs. It doesn't help that all his movies have an almost identical theme.

This girl from the trailer is hot as FUCK though.

Comedy gold. Fucking idiot.

Anime elitist fags BTFO!!!!!!!!!!

>Yamada
lol

Something's wrong with her voice though, I just don't know how to describe it

commercial voice?
Poor mic placement?

Nasal?
It's like something's blocking her nose

it's the typical "cutesy" nasal voice that the japanese wants "older" women to sound like

>2nd highest
You do actually realize that KnNw will inevitably end up on top, right? SA received so many additional and special, anniversary screenings over so many years that when it gets to that point for KnNw, it will comfortably be first again. It's just a matter of time. Also, he should finish Tenki no Ko first, before start worrying about breaking records again.

>previous movie is about musubi "god"
>new movie is about rain "ame"
>male female counterpart
>The God of shinto is named ame
what a talented writer

Mamoru bitchslaps hackai

Your Name made more money than all of Hosoda's combined.

>salesfag
Cringe. Mamoru has more talent in the tip of his dick than Shitkai in his entirety.

It also made more money than your mother ever made sleeping with all the black men combined what is your point?

Based.

It's also better rated than any of Hosoda's movies on virtually every website that has ratings.

Then why is it so shit??? The only good thing was when he was fondling her boobs.

Summer wars alone shits all over anything shinkai.

None of Miyazaki's films were "interesting or unique" in the first place. Some of them were exciting, I enjoyed Laputa and Cagliostro quite a bit, but they aren't any less vapid than Shinkai's shit. The man has no sense for character arcs or narrative progress and side characters (particularly love interests) tend to have no personality to speak of.
A widespread tendency towards classicism is the only reason people entertain the idea that Miyazaki was some kind of genius.

I like shinkais sense of nationalism. Hes well educated in shinto.

It's pretty embarassing how any of the two dozens characters of Summer Wars has more personality than any of the cookie cutter boy & girl Shinkai protagonists.

shinkai will finally deliver on that delicious vanilla movie, The original God approved vanilla movie.

it just needs to surpass ponyo in the top 4, that shit shouldn't be up there
