While I can’t recall the exact post, someone brought it up before that one thing that makes Shinkai good is that each one of his movies is different. Some articles will say he made the same movie three times (Your Name, WWY and Suzume) or that it’s too heteronormative and while I agree that there could be more LGBTQ rep it seems a bit unfair to claim every one of his movies is a copy of the one before. The Place Promised in Our Early Days and 5 Centimeters Per Second are quite different from each other. The Garden of Words is also a change from those before it. Some viewed WWY as just a copy of Your Name but I’d disagree as the themes in WWY challenge the traditional collectivist mindset of Japan and it feels more complete with a more fleshed out romance. Shinkai felt boxed in by “boy meets girl” stories which is why he downplayed romance and made Suzume more of a story about community and healing from trauma. What I’m trying to say is don’t expect every film of his to be another Your Name in both a positive or negative sense especially with talks of his next project coming up. There’s more to his repertoire than just one movie and demanding every film be the same is setting yourself up for disappointment.

I'm just trying to live my life, but it seems as if sadness always piles itself up inside me. It's in my bed, the toothbrush in my bathroom, and the memory of my cellphone.
