Whereas Miyazaki’s works for Studio Ghibli are usually (mostly) widely accessible, often following action/adventure/fantasy templates, Shinkai’s works tend to be more introspective, usually with a singular focus on a central, idealised relationship between a couple usually separated by something - whether it be space, time, sometimes both, or perhaps some other impediment. Fellow AniTAY author and editor Protonstorm (who currently resides in Japan and so has been lucky enough to see it already) recently reviewed Suzume here. April 2023 brings his newest production, Suzume, to western theatres.
Often incorrectly identified as “the next Hayao Miyazaki”, Japanese filmmaker Makoto Shinkai certainly found international success and acclaim following the release of his 2016 film Your Name, which he then followed up with the slightly less widely rapturously received (but still extremely successful) Weathering With You in 2019.
