If you've ever seen a Shinkai director's animation film, could you tell us what you think?
I want to know the opinions of foreigners.
What kind of impression of Shinkai director you have seen and what kind of impression you have about that work?
If possible, please tell me your country.

I watch that one once. Wasn't bad, but I don't remember a great deal about it now.

I'm sorry user, but nobody will care for Shinkai at the moment, Kyoani is burning down.

Shinkai is the boss. I love that guy.

>"a chain of short stories about their distance"
This is better known as "5 centimeters per second"
I've only seen the first 3 and don't really remember much but I remember enjoying them. I also liked the "She and Her Cat" short.
Thomas Brooks
Don't even try. Everyone will dismiss you as being John-san, an eikaiwa English "teacher" or an American private stationed in Japan, who is larping as a Japanese in order to get attention (you)s
Voices of a distant Star was my first Shinkai film, left a great impression and is my favorite Shinkai film with 5cm/s a close second.
Christian Evans
Hello from Russia. Seen most of Shinkai's movies (even got to watch Kimi no na Wa in cinema), but my favorite ones are his earlier works, 5cm and She and Her Cat. Kimi no Na Wa was fun though, enjoyed it quite a bit.
Characters in the new movie look younger than usual, I prefer more mature protagonists, but it's okay since animation and backgrounds look spectacular and the music is great. Hoping to see it in Russian cinemas too!
Aiden Nelson
I remember you made a thread about Saint Oniisan a while ago, how did that go? Anyways: Shinkai to me means scenery porn, broken hearts, melancholy and bad ends, his works seem to be 4-5 years ahead of what the industry does normally and I really like him because of that. Cheers from Chile
Luke Russell
I really like early Shinkai but i do think that he became quite repetitive as far as his stories go in his later works. It's always about chasing something fleeting and unreachable and 5 cm/s is easily his best work in that category.
Easton Gray
All his work is the same bland shit.
Jonathan Butler
Thank you! Takashi Mori
Grayson Gomez
Shinkai makes great films. I really enjoyed 秒速5センチメートル and 君の名は。
Definately looking forward to watching 天気の子 when it comes out over here. I'm from the USA.
Noah Clark
It has promise and I will watch it
Zachary Moore
Thank you bother from Russia. Takashi Mori
Easton Butler
i watched kimi no na wa and I personally liked it and im planning to watch his new anime but they have not yet released a date for it here in my country greetings from philippines
Jayden Lopez
That's right. Long time no see. Those of you were good at articles.

I absolutely love Shinkai Makoto. His unique style might not reach a lot of people but it resonates with me perfectly. After Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo I was crying so much. And all his other works moved me greatly as well. The new one is looking amazing and I will await BDs with anticipation. By the way I think this is by far his most attractive heroine.
Brody Perry
I see. Thank you for your interesting opinion.

I'm from the USA, I watched >Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below
It was pretty good, artstyle was nice although I remember it getting a bit weak toward the end.
Leo Perez
>If you've ever seen a Shinkai director's animation film, could you tell us what you think? Seen all of his films. They were all a boring teenage romance except for Children Who Chase Lost Voices, which is his best one. Landscape scenes look very nice, but his style is not creative. >What kind of impression of Shinkai director you have seen and what kind of impression you have about that work? It appeals to 15 year olds and emotional women. I don't like his movies at all.
Eli Nguyen
Thank you.

Jose Diaz
Are you the same guy who was asking about Saint Young Men for an article? Whatever happened to that?
Dylan Wilson
Watched Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below, The Garden of Words and Your name. Really loved all 3 and im excited for the new one and will plan to watch it when it gets shown here in the philippines
Blake Nguyen
In case this isn't a bait. I'm dirty European. I have seen before "The voices of a distant star" (which I liked a lot).
In case of the trailer you posted I really like the backgrounds and animation quality. The colour palette used is remarkable. Also impressionist-like drawn sky and clouds are giving the scenes a lot of impact.
Ryan Perez
I've never seen anything from him and don't think I'm going to bother, given that all of his works are melodramatic trash.
Luke Stewart
>country Philippines >opinion I like Shinkai's works. Voices of a Distant Star and 5cm per Second are two of Shinkai's works that I like the most. I also recently saw Your Name because our Japanese class made it part of our Japanese language homework, and I really liked it.
Dominic Taylor
What is your opinion about the Kyoani fire, then we'll command drop in your unsolicited thread.
Easton Fisher
>I've never seen anything from him >all of his works are melodramatic trash
Zachary Murphy
Thank you at that time.
In Japan, Shinkai's new work will be released tomorrow, so I hope it would be nice if you could listen to your opinions on Shinkai works and put them in an article.
As it is new work for the first time in 3 years, there are many people expecting in Japan.
Blake Wright
Thank you for taking the time to comment from the Philippines!
Where is this guy? Police need to investigate him.

I watched several of Shinkai's works. I watched them all illegally. I'll also watch Tenki No Ko illegally when the BD comes out.
Tyler Flores
Hello from Spain. Everything is very pretty but I find the stories disappointing, bland or boring. I understand the slow pace in his movies which is nice but it's not something I would watch very often. 君の名は was predictable and the end extended too much. My favorite character was the Shiba Inu and my favorite scene was the 私>僕>俺 moment but it was lost in translation in my country. I really liked 彼女と彼女の猫 .but the one I hated was 星を追う子ども because I think the main character didn't do anything, was very gullible/silly and was suffering all the time only to go back to how everything was in the beginning and the only interesting guy was the evil teacher.
Sebastian Gomez
Thank you from Spain!
Takashi Mori
John Perry
Forgot to metion I felt the romance in 君の名は was a bit forced or sudden, I understand they switched bodies and learnt about each other but I was already shipping Tachibana with Okudera. As someone who has studied and worked in animation I want to congratulate you and thank you for all your effort and hope everything goes well for your studio. I also wish the animation industry in Japan gets better work conditions but it's a very difficult and slow process to make come true.

It seems like I'm really suspected that I'm a reporter, but among the articles I've written about manga, the articles that earned the most PV are below.
Does the line "Sayatte Kudo" really appear in the comic "Detective Conan"? Verified.
A serif called "Sayakato Kudo" is known as a representative line of Hatetori Hiji on the Japanese net, but it has never appeared in manga comics.
The survey results were amazed by the Japanese detective Conan fan, and there were over 300,000 retweets of articles.
I was very happy to be the person who researched and wrote the article.
It has nothing to do with this thread, but I will notify you for a while.

What do you think of Kyoani incident, nipponjinsan?
Levi Moore
My first contact was 5cm per second and I cried because the main character didn't end up with his loved one. I think it was very real and liked it. I'll watch Weathering with you when it comes out, very hyped.
Michael Harris
I wish he'd put the couples together more. My only gripe about his movies is that his couples rarely end up together and this one is looking to be the same. But that's just me. I assume most people prefer they dont.

Hello from Singapore.
Our local authority approves the sale of counterfeit goods despite being a first world city/country. Pic related. Counterfeit was on sale before the official release.
Shinkai's film has very decent background art that it can be called scenery porn.
The theme of loss can be felt more on non-fantasy/realism plot like 5cm/s and Garden of Words as there's no deux ex machina to force the sense of loss.
Thank you for your feedback from Singapore. Takashi Mori

Reddit spacing is not a real thing
you faggot

He's a nip reporter dont expect him to write his posts like everyone else in here.
It also makes the text clearer to read.
Even if its annoying.
Aaron Wilson
Hi Takashi
I like Shinkai's work, but I think he's too repetitive. All his films are similiar. Very pretty but kind of boring. I think his better works are his short films, she and her cat 彼女と彼女の猫, garden of words.

>What kind of impression of Shinkai director you have seen and what kind of impression you have about that work?
I have seen most of his stuff, Shinkai is good at creating anime for normies that doesn't give a shit about the meaning behind one scene or such. Everything about his works are plain, character designs, character developments, plot progression... I don't even understand why someone would spend so much time and money just to work on such a tasteless project mean while every season you gets at least one slice of life/romance show already. I swear in this timeline I will never spend money on his movies ever again.
I'm from Australia btw.

Hello. Australian people. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hello from Israel There is no way to watch Shinkai's films legally here. Please export the BDs here, there are a lot of Israeli anime fans, and Kimi no Na ha is very popular here (illegally).
Parker Diaz
Shinkai films are fantastic. I can't wait to see Tenki no Ko.
Jose Jackson

It's a shame you couldn't see the work legally. If you have a chance to see it, please take a look.

its okay to admit u have shit taste user. go back to clannad or something why don't you
Liam Johnson
I saw it illegally, but I would pay to see it in a movie theater if it was possible
Thomas Perez
People can have the opportunity to watch Shinkai's work through local film events or illegal means, however in general the people here only watched your name. and has a good reception, we are also waiting for the screening of the new film here from the philippines
Jaxson Williams
やぁ、モリさんお疲れ様っす I saw “Kimi no na ha” on an All Nippon Airways flight, I didn’t actually watch it myself but I watched most of it over the shoulder of the lady sitting diagonally in front of me across the aisle. I don’t want people to see me watching anime so I had that dumbass Great Wall of China movie or something on my screen, but I was watching the other lady’s screen. It looked like a pretty good story and I enjoyed how the characters would wake up and be confused about which body they were in so the first thing they would do is check for tits and the guy would kind of grope the tits if they were there and the girl got really mad when she found out but the guy was like “wait a minute you were touching my dick weren’t you” and she like turned bright red because she was. yeah it was a lot of fun, I think it had subtitles on the airplane version which is why I could see the plot. Please tell the Shinkai director guy to include more funny scenes with tits and penis jokes in his movies because that was the funnest part. 日本に住んでるから電話番号教えてくれば俺は直接に電話して伝えておくけどな、よろひく
