Your Name is now the highest-earning non-Hayao Miyazaki-directed anime movie in history, and it’s even surpassed the legendary Studio Ghibli co-founder’s final feature film, The Wind Rises.
It’s safe to say that anime director Makoto Shinkai is a pretty popular guy these days.
His latest film, Your Name is not only a critical success, with its domestic box earnings now at 13.8 billion yen (US$134 million), it’s a runaway commercial hit as well.
How long will we have to wait until we see more from the creator of the most successful non-Miyazaki anime ever?
