Here are the limitations:

  • No sequel movies, only standalone
  • No Ghibli movies
    This is a 3x3 format that I think really brings out everybody’s unique taste, if you’ve seen enough anime movies to make one. If you can’t fit the limitations, feel free to break them.
    I generate my 3x3 on here: https://gqgs.github.io/3x3-generator/

To label mine: 5 Centimeters Per Second, Macross Do You Remember Love, Christmas in January
Galaxy Express 999 Movie, Weathering with You, Pompo the Cinephile
A Silent Voice, Ongaku, Tokyo Godfathers
I allowed myself to include things like the Macross DYRL and Galaxy Express movies which are remakes of existing series.

    I enjoy Shinkai’s recent movies more than his early. His early movies, I feel like he writes and directs a feeling of disjoint emotion and then beats your head over and over with it with visuals of empty spaces. Like the characters barely exist. Like stand in humans for music and landscapes to feel ennui over.

    Then he got to Children Who Chase Lost Voices and the especially Your Name where he found bombast which made up for the weaker character writing and direction. And to me it worked with Your Name. That was blockbuster fun. Then Weathering With You and it was like he was trying to recreate Your Names best received moments over and over again. Anytime the vocalist from that band that was also in Your Name started singing. Did not like Weathering With You. Haven’t watched Suzume yet so don’t know if he did Your Name remake again.

    I contrast character movement of Naomo Yamada movies with Shinkai. Yamada movies, the characters sound and move like humans. Shinkai movies, they’re stiff
