From Shinkai's recent Q&A session in Ikebukuro:>Q. In "Too Many Losing Heroines," there's a scene where the heroine is rejected by a boy and secretly takes his straw in her mouth, how do you feel about that? Felt very Shinkai-like to me.>A. Don't know about that, lol. But I thought it was a great scene. I think scenes that give a sense of fetishism and eroticism in general, are necessary. I still include them in my work despite facing opposition, lol. Latest one was having Suzume sit on Souta as a chair. I think such scenes are wonderful.https://x.com/uewaka_ao/status/1815360936674553860
What's next?
>>269112122
I wonder what fetish does he have?
>>269112122Shinkai movies need more pantyshots like Mitsuha's upskirts.
>>269112122The greatest artists inject their fetishes in all their work.
>>269113996Idk, you tell me
>>269113996Feels well-established that Shinkai has an Onee-san/mature woman fetish
>>269112122all shinkaitards must die
>>269112122Okay Shinkai, you've earned a place in my based list. Just don't make the same movie for the fourth time ffs.
>>269112122Not good enough
I kept telling you, but you contrarians didn't listen just because Your Name was popular.
>>269112122More Shinkai films need pantyshots, just like what Mitsuha got.
>>269112122Unbelievably based and beautiful opinion.
>>269112122>SomeAll*
>>269112122>I still include them in my work despite facing opposition, lol. Latest one was having Suzume sit on Souta as a chair.I take back everything bad I said about him

>>269117135No.

>>269112122>Artists are pervertsMore news at nine.
>>269117698Expect 100 seething threads and another 100 thread saying that it's shit compared to *insert 90s sci-fi ova*
>>269112122I completely agree with the FeetManI still think Suzume sucked ass though, or at least i consider it way inferior to any other of his previous films>>269113996I like you anon
>>269117698Did you not watch Voices of a Distant Star
>>269112122WTF I love Shinkai now.
>>269119449Yeah. It's not really about space exploration though, more like mecha-autism.
>>269115072why is she so smug about?
>>269116550Wish it would be something like the Space Chapter from Live a LiveHe would probably make the robot a girl, but i can live with it
>>269115072whooooooooooooooooooooooore!
>>269115041God bless Tomino
>>269115072
>>269118974Don't worry, other people are also mentally disabled
>>269119895Teen girls love sexually teasing older men
>>269112122Shinkai can't even include an actual kiss in his copy and pasted movies
>>269122782
>>269122782Once again these posters criticize things they haven't watched.
Shinkai is the most sexual anime director which is why /a/ can't stand him
>>269122915He should of done yuri instead of this shit
>>269123244He actually wants to be successful.
>>269112122I'll give Shinkai a pass, just this once.
>>269115041So Shinkai will ripen with age, that's good.
>>269116550>reading 3 body problemI haven't watched a single shinkai movie, but if it's a scifi next I'm so hype
>>269113996chocolate fetish?
>>269112122 Nice. I hope he inserts fetishes into the fourth copy of Your Name
>>269123244Autism.
>>269124378It's what the people want.
>>269116550>big focus on gravity as a concept
>>269115041>"Stories about a boy and a girl who are always stretching their hands toward each other>and yet the boy's hand never reaches the girl's crotch"Fucking lol'd.I believe Shinkai's goal is to remain family-friendly because of the big audience his movies receive.
>>269126573Tomino is just a salty bitch because despite how long he has been in the industry no one considers him a prestigious director, just a good salesman for toys.Tomino shit talks anyone and everyone else that he thinks is getting more praise than he is. Its his most consistent quality in interviews.
>>269116550Unironically sounds like he wants to do Interstellar. Is this his chance for an Oscar?
>>269119787They are right.
>>269116550>>269126291>big focus on gravity as a concept
>>269112122Is "straw" an euphemism?
>>269126707I don't think he's that salty, he does the same shit talk about his own works as well.
>>269112134I wish I was that chair
He should incorporate scat into his next film
>>269127290No, quite literally a straw. Crazy stuff that teen girls do nowadays.
>>269126821Well, Interstellar is his favorite film. If it really has aliens and all that, should be very different though.
>>269114841>mature woman fetish
>>269126707Tomino is a shitposter, it's just what he does
>>269112122he's a hack getting worse with every film.Suzume was so terrible i couldn't believe it made the amount of money it made with the exact same retarded rehashed story
>>269129419You're going to be watching the next one, and the one after that. You can't escape.
>>269127916You're acting as if this indirect kiss thing isn't something guys have been doing for a long time.
>>269130160That was literally sexual assault though.
Shinkai peak was Garden of Words, and that was still a solid 6/10, why people worship this dude...
>>269126707He praised Oda even though One Piece is massively popular.

>>269112122the Tomino bullying finally worked
I think Shinkai is a pretty great guy and none of his works so far were bad. I just wish he would get a firmer grasp on thematical coherency in his films. Suzume especially almost feels like a recap movie for a longer TV series (in terms of story, not the animation quality of course). Most of his films feel a bit aimless, so to speak. I think he'd be absolutely incredible if he just made SoL shows.
>>269131489>I thinkWho are you?
>>269132000Based retard incapable of understanding how discussion works in a chinese basket-weaving forum.
>>269114841I can't remember who she is but I just know she has no porn.
>>269132000>how dare you express your opinion
>>269129164He's not wrong. Pic related for example was referred to as a "mature woman" by her designer even though she's canonically in her early 20s. I think Japanese care more about subjective vibes than the "objective" essentialism of Americans.
>>269130784 Because anime only has three mainstream directors: Miyazaki, Hosoda and Shinkai. They all make recycled films and their fans continue to consume the goyslop
>>269132679We need to bring back Satoshi Kon through necromancy.
>>269132509>I think Japanese care more about subjective vibesYeah, that's why you'll sometimes see people mention a character has a mature or motherly aura even if they're only like 25.
>>269132717The world would be a better place if he lived to 83 instead of Miyahack
>>269132769Or how Japanese otaku don't care to define what precisely counts as loli meanwhile American anime fans freak out over it.
>>269132679>Hosoda
>>269112134Wait, the chair movie was real? I thought people were just making fun of Shinkai. What the fuck.
>>269133159 Yes, Hosoda. The only one to be nominated for an Oscar outside Studio Ghibli
>>269116550Interesting. I love sci-fi, soft sci-fi, time fuckery, whatever all that shit. Let's see what style Shinkai will take with this movie. Just, don't mix too much teen romance in it. (Please)
>>269133182Not only is it real, but also the 2nd best-selling anime film of all time in number of tickets sold.
>>269133252What would that have to do with popularity? Literally no one knows what was even nominated for the last Oscar or whatever other awards thing. Hosoda just can't compete commercially.
Suzume is mid. I really enjoyed Weathering with You. Much better film.
>>269133645Belle made $65 million. Only franchises and Ghibli/Shinkai make more than that
>>269115072>Only starts sitting and standing on him after it's made clear there are lewd implications.What a little tease.
>>269133793Nigger, the RE-RELEASE of Your Name in China just made like 15 million dollars in 3 days. We're talking about different worlds here.https://x.com/shinkaimakoto/status/1815934763569668248
>>269133551How the fuck.
>>269133854If Suzume is always sitting and stepping on Souta, does that mean she's dominant in bed?
>>269134487 See the Japanese box office ranking for 2021. Only Evangelion and Detective Conan surpassed Belle. Jesus, Shinkaidrones are retarded
>>269134546For the sake of my fetish, I'm going to say yes and assume so for the rest of history.
>>269114729JK growing breasts and cute tummy...
>>269134620 Also, money is a stupid metric for measuring quality. I'd trade Dreaming Machine for Hackoto Shinkai's career
>>269112122Still not watching generic romcom slop, shinkai movies are not that good either.
>>269132509A person in her 20s IS a mature woman
>>269112122sadly it is trueThere has to be a certain perversion or else it won't sell
>>269115041i think he's looking at it wrong, shinkai is like most disney movies he shouldn't have to make things violent erotic or super deep
>>269134620Did you take your estrogen today?
>>269134939That is called a young woman.
>>269133854she knows...
>>269112122Holy shit, based. More of this and louder.>>269133252>OscarYou just proved his point and that femishit is now cancer.
>>269112122Love how everyone just thinks of Shinkai as this super innocent guy who just wants to write cute romance stories, and he just comes out with stuff like this out of nowhere
>>269132333are you fucking retarded, she does have porn
>>269116550If only Shinkai came back as art director for that
>>269113996Spit Drinking
>>269112122>Latest one was having Suzume sit on Souta as a chair. I think such scenes are wonderful.LMAO fucking admitted it the mad man >>269112134it's a very "you just know" moment even without it, look at ever the chick flip her hair back let alone Suzume's weird face after she sits down, i'll give him credit for "subtlety" though.
>>269134546No
>>269138867Shinkai is a pervert but he cares a lot more about romanticism
>>269127268This could ahve been a hit if nuSony wasn't retarded
>>269138031He already does way too much don't think he can ever go back to art direction
>>269140442It wasn't very good
>>269112122This is the test that western creators refuse to pass. You can buy sexy material and you can quietly give an implicit endorsement by making it, but if you won't verbally defend unapologetic male-oriented eroticism in public, nobody will stop the prudes when they come to crack down on it. It's not enough to just say that you don't want ugly women. If you clarify that you don't actually mean SEXY women because you're a pussy who's scared of our shrill harpies who've gotten way too comfortable with trampling on our spaces and treating men as a secondary concern, don't expect to get them.That's why even though westerners are buying manga like crazy, they won't make anything that isn't a cheap feminist-friendly imitation.
>>269112134Full on
>>269131489>Suzume especially almost feels like a recap movie for a longer TV seriesYeah, the pacing on Suzume was weird. You get halfway into the movie and you're still wondering "where the hell is this going?" I think the ending manages to bring it all together in a cathartic, emotionally satisfying way but that doesn't change the fact that when you are watching it you feel like its disconnected. Your Name, oddly enough, almost has a similar problem but it doesn't feel poor paced in the moment because there is always something pushing you forward. Your Name is basically split into three distinct arcs with very different tones: the bodyswapping at the start, the mystery in the middle, and the adventure to save the town at the end. They all share the same characters and there is a direct throughline that ties it all together, but you could easily split them up into a 3 episode OVA without much trouble.
is it physically possible for shinkai to come up with 1 (one) original idea?
>>269132769>>269132837Anime ages have always been fucked up, to the point that's is easier to just treat characters like they act instead of what some side material says they are. There are too many weird cases like "This guy looks 25, talks like an adult, is 6ft tall and is ripped, and is in no way an emotionally vulnerable teenager. Character bible says he is 15." Sometimes its easier to just consider the 'official' age as the one that is wrong, because holy fuck there is no way Jotaro is 17 just fucking look at him. Listen to him speak.
>>269143811He's come up with plenty, you just bought into the meme that all of his movies are the same because you heard it once and lack the capacity to form your own opinions.
>>269143586I'd love for Shinkai to actually direct a sex scene to be honest.
Weathering with you is the best.No boy should care about the world when it's shit & useless and he has a gf with nice armpit.
>>269112134Impregnation
