>Makoto Shinkai, director of the hit anime film your name., stated in a recent interview with the "Watching Japanese New Movies" announcer Shinsuke Kasai that he's a bit worried about what the film's success means for him as a creator.
>"The box office revenue exceeding 10 billion yen (US$98 million) is honestly frightening," Shinkai said. "This box office revenue is not exactly proportional to my own ability...I don't have "10 billion yen" worth of merit. I fear the assessment of my merit [based on the film's earnings] is becoming a bit unbalanced."
>Shinkai admitted his bewilderment that the film became such a huge hit, and expressed his humility in the rest of the brief interview.
>When asked if the film is a work he has confidence in, he replied that, "This time without considering anything, I thought I would probably get feedback that it was enjoyable; that's the kind of self-confidence I had."
I don't blame him. Shinkai was a known name but not 'this' known

I'm bewildered too because I hate his movies.

I don't like his movies but I'm happy for him. Seems like a good guy.
Isnt this movie just sappy romance crap and only got popular because women?
at least he admits it

The only reason to watch his shows is for animation and backgrounds which are the only thing that make his anime stand out

You will never be as humble.
You're the one who shitposts on an imageboard all day and he's the one with billions of yen and yet you will never be as humble.
The only movie of his I liked was Hoshi no Koe. He should remake it with good visuals.
I wish Koe no Katachi or Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni would get this kinda reception, but oh well I hope this movie's okay. Never been fond of Shinkai in the past. 5cm/s is alright I guess.
Just accept it /a/ Normie win a big time BTFO Otashit hard.

It's easy to be humble when my whole talk is going to be documented and recorded.
