>tfw Yasujiro Ozu and Miyazaki brought up in the same sentence as Makoto (hikkikomori otaku copypasta) Shinkai .
the best part is Shinkai didn't see any of this coming.
Now everybody expects him to land another big hit next time, but he has no clue how he actually did it.
We all now that they didn't plan any of this success out while they were making this movie.
Make something generic that gives off a positive vibe. Profit from consumers that have seen less than 400 anime and don't know how generic the product is they are watching.
Pretty sure the guy who made it knows it was generic in the same manner than Miyazaki is aware of the shit that is put out these days.

I think that's just a symptom of that writer's lacking knowledge of Japanese film.
>the delicate beauty of Hayao Miyazaki with the workaday wistfulness of Yasujirō Ozu,
You what mate? I can see Miyazaki (which is just the standard "animated, japanese and good" reference to basically everything) thanks to that chopped up shitty glorification of the worst things of his style that is Children who chase Lost Voices; but Makoto Shinkai is, in absolutely everything, opposite of what Yasujiro Ozu made, in style, shot composition, cinematography, style of text or even the fucking basic themes. How the fuck do you fuck up a comparison this badly? Even Akira Kurosawa is better if you're that much of a pleb, how the fuck do you get paid for this kind of shit? How does Ozu's taste for the emotional repressions within the relationships within nuclear structures done with an endlessly ambiguous point of view even touch with Shinkai's schlocky, profusely effectist use of plot devices to overexpose emotion, or how he even overdoes it even more with his blinding colour pallette? Jesus christ!

Why does a first rate Japanese animator like Shinkai still do scenes at 10 fps?

>Yasujirō Ozu,
The only reason arthouse kinoman Ozu is brought up is because the writer of the article only knows Ozu and Miyazaki.

You don't underdtand animation anon.
Mitsuo Iso the greatest animator of all time animates at 8fps.
It's not about how fluid the animation is, it will seem fluid if you get the timing and spacing right.

This whole thing is like the mikoshi bit in SZS. Except it's the western press doing it. Being hyped up for the sake of it.
