Podcast appearances and mentions of Makoto Shinkai

Oggi vi vogliamo proporre qualcosa di un po' diverso dai film che vi suggeriamo solitamente; ci spostiamo nel mondo dell'animazione, per parlare di un gigante della filmografia mondiale e giapponese. Basato sull'omonimo romanzo scritto dal regista stesso, parliamo di Your Name,  la quinta grande opera di Makoto Shinkai. Acclamato tanto dalla critica quanto dal pubblico, già nel 2016 – alla sua uscita – questa peollicola ha avuto un enorme successo commerciale ed è presto diventato il secondo anime più visto in Giappone dopo il Premio Oscar “La città incantata” del maestro Miyazaki. A livello internazionale è invece il film d'animazione giapponese con il maggior numero d'incassi nella storia. 

(Spoiler Section Length - 6min 20sec)It's time to go back to the past of Makoto Shinkai - the creator of Your Name - to see the man's directorial debut. Except... we're actually checking out two films, one a short film and the other a full-length one. What similarites lie between these two works, and how do they relate to his later films? And more importantly... how do they hold up?

Vous connaissez Makoto Shinkai ? Mais siii vous connaissez ! C'est Your Name, ou encore Suzume ! Un créateur Japonais qui propose des films incroyables, et souvent comparé (par des gens qui ne savent pas comment comparer hein) à Hayao Miyazaki RIEN QUE ÇA. Hé ben ce gars là, dans sa jeunesse, il a fait des jeux vidéo, et Curien notre expert du jour nous en parle (c'est lui qui fait le contexte, rien que ça, ça fait un épisode spécial !). Mais bon les jeux vidéo on s'en fout, parce que notre pote Makoto il a surtout fait The Voices of a Distant Star, l'un de ses premiers films. Alors oui ça ne dure qu'une vingtaine de minutes. Mais il a TOUT fait tout seul. Les images, la musique, la voix (avec sa copine), les effets, l'histoire. Et ça en fait une œuvre bigrement intéressante. Vous aussi, tentez des "bigrement" en 2025. Mais surtout, c'est du FLAN ou c'est pas du FLAN ? 4:39 Salut mon spot'6:04 L'actu vite démoulée18:57 Le contexte34:46 Le débat1:01:38 Les critiques1:10:42 Le futur Pensez à nous soutenir avec des commentaires ou des étoiles sur les applis, voire même avec un peu de sous sur Patreon !

We are finally back with another new episode where we react just days after the worst trade in NBA history and Seth tries to not crash out! Then we get into the actual topic of the day where we checked out this week the first work that truly put Makoto Shinkai onto the scene as a director and movie creator, and give our opinions on 5cm Per Second!

Makoto Shinkai sollte jedem Anime-Fan inzwischen ein Begriff sein! Und das spätestens seit seiner beiden Filme 'Your Name' und 'Weathering with you'. Beide Filme wurden bereits im Podcast 'World Of Ghibli' ausführlich besprochen. Aber um das Dreigestirn zu komplettieren, reden wir diesmal über seinen letzten Film 'Suzume', den wir nun schon viel zu lange vor uns her geschoben haben. Ist er so gut wie seine Vorgänger? Konnte Shinkai nochmal eine Schippe drauflegen? Das erfahrt ihr wie immer bei 'World Of Ghibli', eurem Lieblings-Podcast rund um das Studio Ghibli und die Welt der Anime-Filme.

Découvrez Les Enfants du Temps de Makoto Shinkai avec notre spécialiste de la culture japonaise Pierre-Wiliam Fregonese qui vient de publier l'essai Makoto Shinkai - La vie ordinaire aux éditions Pixn'Love. Un essai co-écrit avec Madoka Serizawa ! Une pépite pas reconnue a ce juste mesure ! Après avoir créé la surprise avec le film Your Name en 2016 et réalisé un record au box-office nippon avec 19 millions d'entrées, Makoto Shinkai est un des grands de l'animation japonaise. Avec ses 10 millions de tickets vendus dans son pays, le cinquième long-métrage du cinéaste de Nagano est un succès qui surfe toujours sur la science-fiction, thématique chère à l'auteur. Un mélange des genres : le postapocalyptique, déjà visible dans Your Name, et l'urban fantasy. On retrouve aussi ce qui fait le charme du cinéaste. Romance lycéenne, sexualité ambiguë, destruction climatique, affres de la vie urbaine, trahison des adultes, omniprésence de la mort : le film brasse avec brio des thématiques quasi obsessionnelles au Japon. Fasciné par le ciel et la pluie depuis ses débuts, Shinkai offre de superbes passages mélancoliques ou les éléments se déchaînent. Les Enfants du temps est une charmante balade poétique dans un Tokyo submergé par la pluie.Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

En 1999, il réalise deux courts-métrages animés, Tôi sekai – sous le pseudonyme de Makoto Niitsu –, et Elle et son chat, récompensé par de nombreux prix. Il travaille alors en parallèle en tant que graphiste pour l'entreprise de jeux vidéo Falcom. Après un nouveau court-métrage, Voices of a Distant Star en 2002, il passe au long deux ans plus tard avec La Tour au-delà des nuages, qui a pour toile de fond la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il poursuit sa carrière avec 5 centimètres par seconde (2007), Voyage vers Agartha (2011) et The Garden of Words (2013). Des films où l'on retrouve ses thèmes de prédilection : la jeunesse japonaise, l'amour – et la distance qui nous sépare de ceux qui nous sont chers – et les mondes ...Full Métal Alchimist de Hiromu Arakawa (source wikipedia) : Les frères Elric (Edward et Alphonse) ont hérité leur talent d'alchimiste de leur père qui a quitté le foyer familial sans jamais revenir.

Today I would like to introduce an anime movie “Garden of Words” directed by Makoto Shinkai. Have you ever seen it? If you have seen it, please listen to it while thinking of the scenes, and if it's your first time, please listen to it while imagining the anime. Now, please enjoy. Hola.

To close out the Shinkaideology we've taken the chance to reshare the interview we had with Makoto Shinkai almost two years ago. Some may have already have heard this, but we've had lots of new listeners join the show, so wanted to take the chance to get his voice on the feed for the end of the mini-series.As his new blockbuster anime Suzume is released in UK cinemas, director Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, Weathering With You) speaks with Michael and Jake about turning a romantic lead into a three-legged chair, falling in love with Whisper of the Heart, being touted as 'the next Miyazaki', and his filmmaking career to date.Join us on Patreon for ad-free and bonus episodes, Discord access and show footnotes and more: Patreon.com/ghibliothequeEmail us: ghibliotheque@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter @ghibliotheque and Instagram @ghibliotheque.pod.@MichaelJLeader – Michael@jakehcunningham – Jake@_stephwatts - Steph Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

This week, Michael and Jake bring the Shinkai-deology up to date with Makoto Shinkai's latest release, and the third film in his loose trilogy of high-concept, disaster-themed features: Suzume. However, this time, Shinkai makes the connection with the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake more overt than ever, with a young girl and her chair boyfriend travelling the full length of Japan to close a series of mystical doors, and heal the long-standing trauma of a nation.Subscribe to our Patreon for ad-free episodes and bonus conversations in our Library Cafe series.Follow us on Twitter or Instagram, or drop us an email at ghibliotheque@gmail.com.

Wiz HIGHLY RECOMMENDS Suzume I try to make sure not to curse in my reviews: it's just kind of lame and it never really gets the point across most times. But I have to do it with this movie because it's the only way to emphasize my points succinctly enough: From animation to visuals to the emotional story, Suzume is fucking beautiful. The film starts as a fun action adventure road trip film with a cute, lovable main character and a sidekick who is a chair. It's filled with humor, heart and just a fun and sweet story. Then, the second half rolls around and it becomes an emotionally poignant film about loss and grief. The tone at first seems incredibly abrupt, but it makes up for it at the end with a powerfully done ending that had me more than emotional towards the end. But the other obvious thing to talk about is the visuals: they are simply stunning. Whether it's the animation of the characters and their faces to the colors of the sky, ground and grass, Suzume is a visual knockout of a film. And RADWIMPS is back with yet another great song to pair with the film, like they did in Your Name. Suzume may just be the film that will have non-anime fans really remembering the name Makoto Shinkai like they do with Hayao Miyazaki and Satoshi Kon, thanks to it's breathtaking visuals and effective storytelling. It has all the heart of some of the best Ghibli films with Shinkai's incredible animation and music selection. This film deserves to be mentioned amongst Spirited Away, Paprika and Grave of the Fireflies as some of Japan's best films in the past 50 years. Yes...it's that good.

The gang finally completes the Makoto Shinkai trilogy, closing the book on our previous discussions on Your Name (Episode 7) and Weathering With You (Episode 12) after many years with 2022's Suzume. There's a lot to like about this movie (it's just as beautiful as its predecessors, if not even more gorgeous) but it's definitely not as good as Your Name and arguably may not even be better than Weathering With You, which does lend itself to a pretty great discussion about the main characters, the keystones (how do they work?!?), and the weird way the "romance" develops as the movie goes on. And in its small moments there's a wonderful story about the kindness of strangers Suzume meets on her journey, and it does elicit the emotions we're used to feeling in a Shinkai film.

From the legacy of voice actors to the essential role of technological innovation in filming, this episode is a deep dive into the heart of geek culture, narrative analysis, and the artistic journey from page to screen.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbAThe Complete MONSTERVERSE Timeline and History - GODZILLA x KONG Recap:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BamyXL7Z_n0Twitch (Anthony):https://www.twitch.tv/odysseywowMusic:Eric Godlow Beats: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRpkcYps82PdSo0tK5rEIPASupport the show

I wonder if you had any insights on the influence of animé on the transgender community. I previously told you about my lifelong gender dysphoria. I had it under control for many years, but after years in a toxic relationship with a psychopath, which destroyed my sense of self and a serendipitous recommendation from my daughter to watch the animé movie Kimi No Nawa (Your Name), which features body/gender swapping between the main characters Taki and Mitsuha, I had a serious mental breakdown which triggered my gender transition at age 64. The director. Makoto Shinkai was deeply influenced by the manga Inside Mari, which also featured a gender swapping plot. I happened to later listen to a podcast by Sasha Ayad, who specializes in treating gender dysphoria in teens. She mentions in the podcast that some of her patients were influenced by watching animé. I had never heard of that connection nor is my viewing of animé broad enough to know of any other instances of gender swapping/bending in the genre. Do you know of other such animé? What is your opinion about the influence of animé on the transgender community?" Well Mrs. Anonymous thanks for the donation and topic. That podcast you sent me I put in the description. It's between two female psychologists that discuss their clients that are transgendered and what made them that way. I also put a conversation with Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan as the not so mystery link. In both interviews they discuss Dr. Ray Blanchard a doctor in Toronto that mapped out characteristics of trans people in the 80s and 90s. He pointed out that there were two types of transexuals. The ones that were homosexual and the other group that were autogynephilics. Peterson says that only after 30 to 40 years later did Blanchard's research become controversial. He was cancelled for his life work trying to understand trans people. As for the podcast you sent me the two women in it did say that many of their clients triggered gender dysphoria because they watched things like sissy hypno. Even the transmaxxing manifesto suggests that gender dysphoria can be induced by watching sissy hypno content on adult websites. If you have to ask what that is then it's not for you. So Mrs. Anonymous it looks like the film Kimi no Na wa, an 2016 Japanese animated film where a teenage boy and teenage girl in high school swap bodies finally set you off and you transitioned. It was a huge hit and made 380 million dollars worldwide. I think that to understand if certain types of anime can induce gender dysphoria we have to look at the different types of trans people and what gets each group to transition. The ones that are autogynopheliacs are probably the easiest to understand because they get turned on by putting on women's clothing. The second group 80% are gay and usually incredibly feminine and girlish as boys. They typically have high voices and female friends circle. 20% of that second group are not gay and the two female psychologists just call them weird. They also identify a 4th category and say they are scared soft and gentle. Mrs. anonymous you're probably in group 3 or 4. They claim that those groups tend to have men that are bright and a little autistic. That's what Kat the Vat, the content creator with the main transmaxxing channel out there pointed out that incels which tend to be on the autistic side are more likely to question their sexuality. I'll discuss more in a moment but let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor Profit Specialist Group:Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Suzume (Japanese: すずめの戸締まり, Hepburn: Suzume no Tojimari, lit. 'Suzume's Locking Up') is a 2022 Japanese animated coming-of-age fantasy adventure film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, produced by CoMix Wave Films, and distributed by Toho. The film follows 17-year-old high school girl Suzume Iwato and young stranger Souta Munakata, who team up to prevent a series of disasters across Japan by sealing doors from the colossal, supernatural worm that causes earthquakes after being released. The film features the voices of Nanoka Hara and Hokuto Matsumura, with the character designs by Masayoshi Tanaka, animation direction by Kenichi Tsuchiya, art direction by Takumi Tanji, and music by Radwimps and Kazuma Jinnouchi, making it Shinkai's third collaboration with Radwimps and Tanaka, after Your Name (2016) and Weathering with You (2019). It began production in early 2020, eventually being announced as completed by October 2022. A novel adaptation, also written by Shinkai, and a manga series illustrated by Denki Amashima both debuted prior to the film's release. It was inspired by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Suzume first premiered in IMAX in Japan on November 7, 2022, and was theatrically released nationwide on November 11. It received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, characters, emotional weight and music, although the film's plot was criticized by some for being structurally similar to Shinkai's previous works. It has grossed over $323 million worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2022 in Japan and the fourth highest-grossing Japanese film of all time. The film received multiple nominations, including at the Golden Globe Awards and Saturn Awards.

'Suzume' is the 2022 animated feature from CoMix Wave Films and the seventh film from writer/director Makoto Shinkai, who most recently saw global crossover success with 'Your Name' (2016) and 'Weathering with You' (2019). 'Suzume' is a supernatural adventure wherein the eponymous heroine accompanies the mysterious Souta across Japan on a quest to track down Daijin, a mischievous cat-god who places a curse on Souta. Along the way they must close several gates that are unleashing restless spirits upon humanity. Failure to do will spell certain disaster for a populace whose ignorance has only inflamed the earthquake-yielding wrath of the spirits.

While full of the stunning visual style that we love about Makoto Shinkai's work, the director's attempt at blending Miyazaki-like fantasy and his typical themes of young romance and time travel don't quite coalesce. We appreciate the exploration of national grief over natural disasters and enjoy elements of the road trip journey Suzume goes on, but as a whole this left us wanting more and not wowed as we have been with many of his previous films.* Note - full spoilers in effect for entire episode *Follow & SubscribeAaronTwitterFacebookLetterboxdPatrickTwitterAn Original Series Podcast TwitterFeelin' FilmFacebookTwitterWebsiteLetterboxdYouTubeEmail feelinfilm@gmail.comFeelin' Film on Apple PodcastsFeelin' Film on SpotifyFeelin' Film on RepodFeelin' Film on StitcherFeelin' Film on PodchaserNow Playing NetworkJoin the Facebook Discussion GroupJoin the DiscordRate/Review us on iTunes and on your podcast app of choice!
