Makoto Shinkai

Director

Makoto Shinkai is a Japanese filmmaker and animator known for visually striking anime films such as Your Name., 5 Centimeters per Second, and Weathering With You.

Frequently noted for exceptional visual style and for collaborating with the rock band RADWIMPS on the Your Name. soundtrack; often compared in media to Hayao Miyazaki.

The review praises Makoto Shinkai's Your Name. for its extraordinary visuals, music by RADWIMPS, and emotional immediacy. It also criticizes the film for reusing familiar tropes and lacking deeper thematic substance compared with directors like Miyazaki and Anno. The reviewer calls it a cinematic spectacle that nevertheless leaves questions about lasting meaning.

For:Anime fans and film viewers interested in visual storytelling, critics looking for thematic depth in animated cinema.

 Your Name. is a beautiful film, a joy for the eyes and ears, an evident indication of the great technical possibilities of the current Japanese animation industry, a moving experience, a textbook romantic comedy, and a successful title that, however, has nothing to say to the viewer that hasn't been said before.
