Makoto Shinkai’s hit films like your name. and Weathering With You have struck a chord with millions of viewers, but for some that’s just not enough.
By “some,” of course, I’m talking about Mobile Suit Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, who recently criticized Shinkai’s works for holding back on sexual intimacy.
For now, he at least remains optimistic about Shinkai’s age, saying, “Well, Shinkai is still a young director, so I suppose he can make films like that.”
