Makoto Shinkai, the author (director) of the romantic animated film "Your Name" who made the world know him, attended an event in Tokyo and said that the deadline for his new project proposal is imminent, but it is still a blank sheet of paper. On February 15, he mentioned his new work again at another Japanese film award ceremony, which is expected to be released in 2019, and the goal is to compete with mobile social platforms such as Line and make a movie that makes people forget the existence of mobile phones.
This time, Makoto Shinkai said to the media, "In recent years, I have always wanted to make a communication-oriented film, a film that is not inferior to Line. Even if it cannot defeat SNS (social networking service), I still want to make a film like "Let's go to the movies", similar to the film of communication on social networks, a film that is not boring at any time and makes children have no time to look at their mobile phones. Is this the point that "Your Name" resonates with the audience?"
So, can Makoto Shinkai's new work released in 2019 set off a global sensation like Your Name? Anime Star will continue to pay attention to the new work of this popular author.
