*makes the exact same movie yet again*
Why is Shinkai unable to make any of his characters compelling?
They're all hollow shells and their relationships feel completely empty. It's amazing how people get conned by emotional music and great art into not only thinking this dude isn't a hack, but that he's actually good.
We memed Keit-ai too hard.
It's all our fault.
5cm per second destroyed me.
Is Suzume no Tojimari also a romance film?

Is he the most talented Japanese man in history?
People love his one movie every time he makes it. Makes sense that he keeps doing it.
All that and he can't make a single compelling character
Midyazaki fan says what?
No. And it's just Suzume outside of Japan.
funny u lash out at another director instead of naming compellinh characters
Kneel.
I actually have the same criticism for him as well. It's a tough fight for who is the more overrated director.
go back to youtube
>i dont like thing
No one cares
>waah don't discuss anime on an anime board
kys
Speaking of a guy who remade the same thing over and over...
ok but this one seems really different though
This guy makes the same movie over and over. I miss guys like Kon.
>Shinkai doesn't come up with compelling characters
Did you even watch 5cm per second? or Kimi no na Wa?
I think you're expecting the characters to be something they're not.
He comes up with very simple characters with simpler lives, drawing inspiration and artistic interpretation from life in Japan, a mix of the mundane with metaphysical elements heavily melded with Japanese tradition. I think his stories are meant for the people of Japan, and are nothing short of amazing for anyone else overseas to interpret.
