As of late, Makoto Shinkai started doing press in Japan in the wake of his most recent film discharge. Weathering With You went live in Japan to basic recognition, and a fan-interpreter online known as otakujp has turned more than one of his visits. It was there Shinkai uncovered why he esteems anime over cutting edge, and the entertainer had a few reasons.

Shinkai said:

“I want to value things that only anime can do. I’ve been often asked, ‘If you draw real Tokyo, why don’t you make a live-action film?’ In my opinion, even if you can make a live shot, the running time will more than double,

For example, the number of blinks depend on the actor’s physiological sense. If you make it by assembling small puzzles in anime, you can increase the density of what you want to describe without unnatural flow in a limited time.

If you take a live-action, the impression will probably be half. Although it is drawn realistically, the lighting and shadowing are unique to anime. The real pleasure of anime is to inspire the audience with the beauty of art and to invite them to a dynamic visual world.”


At present, Weathering With You has demonstrated its legitimacy in Japan as the open keeps on spouting over it. This week, reports affirmed Japan has presented the motion picture as its designation for Best International Feature Film at the Oscars.
