| Upon my recent full assessment of Kimi no Na wa, and remembering my experience with his prior movies, i came to realize something... Makoto Shinkai's issue is not style over substance. Because of his overkill visual presentation, people tend to be caught up in the eye candy, and the seeming flatness of everything else in comparison, that they disregard what lies beneath the surface, because they're distracted. Makoto Shinkai's issue is publicly inaccessible esocericism; substance over comprehensibility. What is esotericism? It's basically the idea of something that is made so intellectually deep and subtle, that most people aren't even aware that there's something else there. I used to think of him as a mediocre director who was good at making things gorgeous, and clumsy at everything else, but that is no longer the case. His success with Kimi no Na wa was in that he was able to smooth out the gradient between the esoteric and the accessible. Where he failed before, he learned and succeeded in crafting something that people from all walks of live and all levels of intellect could appreciate fully, and consequently took the world by storm. Is this movie actually better than Ghibli films like the stats suggest? I'd say definitely. I don't think i've ever seen such a ingeniously crafted film in my entire life. It's not just emotionally captivating, it is ALSO a technical marvel! This investigation, pursuit of discovery and understanding, and consequential realization and skyrocketed both my appreciation for the film, and for it's criticized director. I will have to study his other films more closely to see if i can claw out the basis of them as well or not. Edit: Rather than this being a testament to what he has done, because he, like anyone else, is not perfect, i would instead say that this is a testament to what Makoto Shinkai is capable of. |

 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |

| Sounds to me like you're inventing excuses to like his movies and trying to make them more complicated than they actually are, but if it helps you enjoy something don't let me stop you. As for me out of the ones I've seen (Voices of a Distant Star, Place Promised in Our Early Days, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, and 5CM Per Second) the only one that wasn't a disappointment was Place Promised in Our Early Days. |

| @Kruszer I'd call that a baseless claim, comparable to a skeptic or conspiracy theory. When i see the nature of it's construction, it's too consistent and purposeful with plenty of signs and imagery and cues. It being coincidence is actually more unlikely, at least with Kimi no NA wa. I remember Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho being pretty deep, but it's been ages since i've seen it, and never really addressed it very thoroughly. Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo was a very interesting journey to the centre of the earth, though i cannot comment on the technical sensibilities of that one, because it did a lot more arbitrary artsy things akin to a Ghibli movie... Many of his prior films were him testing the waters, stretching his legs, learning what it is to write a good story. He's made plenty of dull things, and again, it doesn't make any of his movies necessarily all that great, but it lends credence to the attention to detail put into not just the art, but also the story. Hoshi no Koe was his debut film iirc, so it's not fair to expect something that special from there. 5cm/s i'd have to watch again, though it's pretty slow, and not exactly a movie. Kotonoha no Niwa was very idle and unspectacular, but presented it's sort of stillness well. I've seen things like his work on the eƒ series and such... He's made a number of other works that i haven't seen yet. I'm talking about what Makoto Shinkai CAN do, not necessarily what he has done. |

| @Kruszer Kimi no Na wa is different. You can say you're disillusioned, but how can you be sure that "disillusion" isn't an illusion itself? (spoiler: you can't) Knowing and thinking you know are very different things. You're better off absorbing ant pulling in the nature of a fiction work via it's own inertia, than stopping it and stamping all of your personal impressions on it before you've even finished. |

rvbrick said: It does explain it, completely. Not a single beat missed. The whole time convolution was self-constructed by the two of them themselves, inadvertently.Your Name is probably the most baffling anime movie I've ever seen. Time and space bends to ensure that two people end up together, even though there's just about no reason ever given to believe that they should. ...if your ten page long essay explains why the rules of time and space should be whatever's convenient for the plot that's dead set on playing matchmaker for two people who've never met, then cool, but I'm not going to waste energy analyzing something that's the romance equivalent of a dumb summer blockbuster. It's not even remotely comparable to a dumb summer blockbuster... This is like the romance equivalent of Children of Men, or Primer. I'd say it's a lot like the movie Cloud Atlas. The time shit plays out like Inception. ps: I didn't waste energy analyzing it, as soon as i heard the word "dream" from that podcast by Mother's Basement, i figured out almost the whole damn thing, and the rest when i rewatched the Kuchikamizake trip (and anyone else could have too). It's not something you have to expend energy on, you just nudge ideas a bit and let the rest flow on it's own. Thinking is not something that's hard, unless you force it. I only spent the time getting technical specifics and writing it all out to prove it. |

Possibly, but Thrice burned 6X shy. Only if it's legal and on one of the subscription streaming services I already subscribe to, plus I'd have to be really really bored and out of options for things to watch. ...which it isn't. Though Crunchyroll usually has a lot of Shinkai movies, maybe they'll get it. |
KruszerAug 6, 2017 7:38 PM
| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97" |
| I liked his earlier works more. His stories were more flawed then, but it tells more and is more wholesome as well. His best work imo, is still Lost Voices. It's his most flawed one as well. |
| @rvbrick That's why Makoto Shinkai succeeded and why his movie became so big. If he focused on the technicalities and complexities, nobody would have given a shit and it would have been incomprehensible and not relatable or appreciable to the average joe. Makoto Shinkai didn't do that before, he used to leave the esoteric as esoteric and the result was that nobody got it, and thus they all complain that he sacrifices everything for pretty visuals. This movie isn't about plot; it's about emotion. It's not about the time; it's about emotion. It's not about the comet; it's about emotion. It's not even about writing particularly intricate characters. However, if it didn't have any of what it has under the hood it WOULD have been an empty husk of a film with problems stemming from everywhere and having plenty of grounds for the materialists to bitch about. You could literally make that focus argument for anything. There are plenty of movies and series that focus too much on the technicalities of things, and the complexity of the plot that nobody gets it, and it gets swept under the rug. Kimi no Na wa's success is that it is made for everyone, idiots and geniuses alike, thus it became big. The slower people know there's something more behind the curtain, but they prefer to pretend it's the Wizard of Oz, instead of a man behind running the show. Kimi no Na wa is like a magic show. It's designed to dazzle and impress, but f you can figure out how it works, then it's even more amazing how you can create such a spectacle with the constructs you establish. I'd correct that and call it rather than a show of illusions, a show of science, where the illusions aren't illusions, and the dazzling spectacle is ascended, because even if you break it down, it's not any less real. The emotional story of Kimi no Na wa is not affected even remotely by understanding it, because it only proves that it wasn't just a hat with a secret compartment, you actually had a TARDIS in your hat. @Brb I've never heard someone say they appreciate flawed creations better than skillfully crafted ones before... I for one prefer a story crafted so brilliantly that no matter how deep you dig, there's no apparent limit to the intellect put into it (or at least exceeds it's contemporaries). Why? Because true brilliance is rare. Anyone can make something flawed; just because it's flawed in a way that suits your taste, doesn't mean it's a work of brilliance. |

| Kimi no na wa and 5 Centimeter Per Second are his best work. Kotonoha no Niwa is pretty good but not enough to be my favorite. His other work, The Place Promised in Our Early Days and Children Who Chase Lost Voices are just average. -EDIT- It's nice to see Kimi no Na Wa is like by critics in Rotten Tomatoes. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/your_name_2017/ |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser.

 nah but honestly its just pretty colours with really rushed pointless romance and unnecessary with a boring conflict |
DeknijffAug 6, 2017 10:27 PM
 |
| I would say that Makoto Shinkai's weakest point is probably his characters. The characters are made to fit the plot. Similar to Hayao Miyazaki, the characters don't tend to have a lot of depth to them, and are generally like rather bland un-life-like fairy tale characters who ar pulled along and shaped by the events of the story. Naoko Yamada however, makes the plot fit her characters, and is the queen of KyoAni. Just imagine if she was doing the character work, and camera composition for Shinkai's art and presentation and story.... DAYUM. @Deknijff That's not even remotely true. You just didn't try to make sense of it, and are projecting your beliefs onto it. |

|
| I doubt it's that special. His movies never are. They're superficial, eye candy with bland, unrealistic characters. I finally have a copy of it now, but at the moment I'd rather watch a live action movie. The art is kind of bland, more generic than usual. |

| @Deknijff I was referring to your text, not the picture. @Ezekiel Untrue if you investigate deeper. @Tonysol67 That's not me saying 2deep4u, it was deeper than even i anticipated until i dug into it's guts to see what lay beyond the surface. @Deknijff @Ezekiel @Tonysol67 The issue the 3 of you have is that you are automatically assuming that because it's eye candy, and because it seems just like poetic contrivance on the surface (admittedly i thought so too at first), but what you are all doing is projecting your impression of Makoto Shinkai's other works, as well as the works of other creators, onto this one. After i fully investigated the movie, i was absolutely delighted to find out how wrong i was. I would love to interview the guy about his movie in full detail. @Rayney_d4y What's with everyone assuming predictable is bad? MOST anime are predictable to me, because i always anticipate their possible outcomes, like that scene in Code Geass where Lelouch comes up with 14 hypotheses for Mao, that's me. Does that affect how i feel about it? Not in the slightest. |

| The substance of his work is the style, that's all there is to it. |
 |
| @Rayney_d4y All i was saying is that there's no reason to be bored by outcomes of expectations. I was saying that because it can just as easily be a joy to be watching your expectations unfold. There's also more to the picture than what meets the eye on the surface. It's a choice really. @tr1ckst3r Prove it :P Prove my in-depth breakdown of it's complexity wrong. I'll maybe do some of his other films in the future. Though i can probably guarantee they aren't going to be as technically in-depth, as Shuhan said, Shinkai has been improving. |

|
| He might have deeper 'substance' than I knew of but I don't care anyhow, his 'style' is enough for me to like him. |
| @GenesisAria I'm impressed you can write such verbose analysis of Kimi no Na Wa but you can't tell the difference between it's and its |
密室殺人はなぜ美しいのか。 |
| I don't known if anyone on this site has ever studied cinema. The script of Your Name is full of errors and inconsistencies, and that is a fact. Shinkai clearly prefers to concentrate on the style. |
 |
| @tsuyokunaru Substance is more important than style, i didn't exactly spend all day proofreading it. If you were to attack it's grammar as a basis for refuting it that'd be ad-hominem. I've never believed that presentation should have any bearing or impression on the actual content of the thing, they're mutually exclusive factors. Presentation is to draw your attention and keep you interested only, and should never influence the subject matter. Thanks for spotting it though, so i could correct it. Ps: i actually despise the english language for its contradictive and convoluted nonsensicality. @Pipebomb_Teller I already demonstrated that there wasn't. Again unless you can prove me wrong with more than baseless claims. |

| That's pretty funny, considering Makoto himself stated he focused on the style, not the substance. Enjoy reading |
| @koemushi Don't forget that japanese creators are HUMBLE AS FUCK. Even some of the best ones in the world will go on about how they feel inadequate (unless they're Hayao Miyazaki, who's full of himself). They rarely completely realize the true worth and depth of their own works. Kinda like when someone gets into stports, then is in the major league, but is never exactly a perfect sniping hotshot, they feel woefully inadequate, without even realizing that there is a giant crowd of people who's blown away by their skill, even peers who couldn't match up if they tried. They won't realize how good they are unless they backtrack and go play with the people who are at the novice tier they used to be, and see the difference. ...Make sense? Makoto Shinkai said: Though Shinkai, like Naoko Yamada, maintains a posture where they aren't self-depreciating. Makoto Shinkai said: Here he is talking about the visual details of the characters, not the detail of their personalities.The first question about the characters and their visual relationships with the background, I can't really say anything except that is the style. I think by the nature of animating, especially in traditional animation like this where you have backgrounds and cels on top that move—you're dealing with something static where motion is applied on top of it. So by its very definition and nature, there is a gap between what you're seeing in the background and what is being animated on top. @NothingReally It kind of is. He himself even said that the focus was on the romance, which leaves the complexity to a realm of non-necessity which can be uncovered, but is not readily available to the common viewer, as it requires a extra level of thought. It's abstruse. Edit: pachow, i changed my wording some more, i forgot about the word abstruse, i hate sucking with words. thanks for that. |

Kimi no Na wa is still a bad movie. I mean, you barely even constructed a full paragraph. Should I paste Lorem Ipsum to make my point more valid? Substance doesn't matter if the execution is crap, deal with it. People who say "style-over-substance" refer to exactly that. |
