Makoto Shinkai
Writer and Director Makoto Shinkai talks about his film Suzume, his influences, video games, mourning, loss and having an asteroid named after him!
Although it fits squarely into his oeuvre following another plucky heroine coming of age in Japan, it has some very meaningful inspiration.
Shinkai’s Weathering With You is more than content to face the onslaught with the naive fantasies of youth. He’s unabashed about giving himself over to them totally.
Weathering with You, the latest film from Makoto Shinkai proves that he is one of the most delightfully unique voices working in the world of animation today.
Your Name is the latest anime from Makoto Shinkai; grounded in a contemporary setting, it is as endearing as it is gorgeous to watch unfold.
