君の名は。 / Your Name. (2016 Makoto Shinkai & co-scr)

A romantic, time travel, body-swap animation (!) intended I guess for young adults, is nevertheless most interesting and stunningly designed and animated.

Voices: Ryunosuke Kamiki and Mone Kamishiraishi. Animation director: Masahi Ando.

It was the third largest grossing Japanese film of all time.



Animation certainly has become an exalted art form. 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) and The Garden of Words (2013) also look fabulous. Feelings of young people, background design, lighting all Shinkai trademarks. He draws and animates his own storyboards with his own voice doing the character parts, and that is then handed over to the animation team.
