- Writer-Director Makoto Shinkai makes beautiful films, obviously. But after watching his body of work, I noticed how his animation serves the theme of waiting or being present. This video essay focuses on his feature films: Your Name, The Garden of Words, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, 5 Centimeters Per Second, and The Place Promised In Our Early Days.

I can already tell that randomly some time in the future this video is gonna get tons of views
Well considering it had 7k views when I commented and now it has 30k I'm confident it's gonna crack 100k
Hope so, Shinkai needs more recognition especially the older works
Hallelujah
@@Kage-jk4pj Its at a wonderful 70K as of right now so still going strong!
1 week ~ 12 hours. #mkay🤔.verr.intersting.
oh shit, seeing that kimi no na wa scene when they writing names made me shed tears
Except that's not what he is writing actually. I think he may have realized at that point that somehow it wouldn't have worked to write his name so he wrote something that might resist the magic..
I love you he said 😭
It wasn't just me, I'm glad! That sudden cut hit like a train
Great work, man. I hope that someday, you´ll get the attention you deserve.
it's just like the title of video. waiting.
now it's paid off, youtube start recommend this
Holy shit that was one of the best film analysis ive ever seen, keep up the great work dude. I am sure you're gonna blow up asap
You are so cute
Indeed.
Yeah, Shinkai's technique was absolutely amazing. I've bought his artbooks since I realized his work was totally eye candy. And I think this is the most wonderful Shinkai's films analysis ever uploaded on TH-cam so you must create another one like this after watching Makoto Shinkai's Weathering With You (Tenki no Ko). Great job Jesse!
I paid more attention to this compared to my university lectures
Hahahaha same here😂
The sad thing is most young people won’t understand the feelings portrayed in the garden of words. Many I’ve talked to find it dull, boring and uneventful. I felt heavy romance throughout through the use of isolation, peace, presence, subtle movements, gestures, the quiet and the beautiful scenery.
I feel you 🙌
Masterpiece
Who are these people?
That is literally one of the most romantic movie I have ever seen.
Young people right here who understands the beauty of peacefulness
Zoomer here, I felt alot of heavy feelings, couldn't sleep thinking about it same applies to alot other works of shinkai. Don't let your hopes down there are still good apples around.
"life doesn't glimmer like this"
I used to think that anime skies were just anime skies until I was in Tokyo in the spring this year and walked 6km across town as the sun was setting. The sky was something else, perfect blue with gorgeous shifting pastel clouds. I'd never seen anything like it before. There is something different about the light here.
But yes, noticing details is one of the keys to happiness in life. Did you notice that little bird flitting about in the bushes by the bus stop? Or see the misspelled sign outside the cafe by the train station? Find little details every day that make you smile.
This comment made me smile. Keep spreading the positive vibes
God bless the algorithm for recommending me this video. Beautiful work, Jesse.
Finally someone speaking about the subtle peace and movement Shinkai puts in his movies. I've always loved them for that... they feel overwhelmingly real, down to earth.
True 😭
Yep, totally agree with yah!🤓
The garden of words was so visually appealing that i forgot what the story was halfway through.Damn you Shinkai🙏
I love TH-cam recommendation for recommending me these amazing underrated video. Keep up the good work
Back in high school, our homeroom teacher played the The Garden of Words along with Pay it Forward. It was emotional that the whole class cried. I'm so thankful that this is the first work of Makoto Shinkai that I've watched.
Hmm, a high school teacher playing the Garden of Words in the USA might get sued...
''Animation does what no other medium can. It highlights whats already here.'' That was a quote well deserving of a place in history and in cringy facebook posts 20 to 30 years from now. I love it.
Everybody say, *"Thank you, TH-cam algorithm."*
Anw, you are amazing.
Christ, now I feel like I have to watch through everything Shinkai has done.
in the last 2 years I've lost my love for anime, but even if the stories were horrid, I could watch these films just for how stunningly gorgeous they are.
How, on God's green earth, have you experienced horror from any of his stories?
If the word meant was "horrible", please explain as well. I'm very curious.
@@kiffsan a secondary definition of horrid is "unpleasant or disagreeable"
@@BrendanishLeo ...aka horrible. I'm just curious as to why you felt that way. 😁
@@kiffsan something described as unpleasant does not necessarily mean horrible or scary. Something can be unpleasant, but still worth watching due to other reasons.
I never said his movies were horrid,I said "even if they were horrid, I'd want to watch them because of how beautiful they are."
Saying that whether or not they are good(which I stated I have no knowledge on) they'd be worth watching because of how beautiful they are.
@@BrendanishLeo Sorry, I wasn't looking for a critique on my vocabulary, only wondering what made you feel "however" you felt.
thanks for the vid! haven't seen Makota Shinkai's work before and I can only say I'm stunned. I miss this slowness in a lot of movies. For example, the MCU has some really well composed images, but they only last about a heartbeat. No room to let them have an effect.
Beautiful video, and very insightful. My new goal, in my journey of self improvement is to view the world like it's a Shinkai film.
Another great video essay! I really like how this video illustrates and explains some technical aspects of this animation [especially the water :) ] as well as the philosophical side of these movies. While what we see everyday may not be as breathtaking as what Shinkai gives us, we would all do well to remember to appreciate the "dull bits". Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge and insights!
Thank you, Christy! You always have great takeaways
The pen drop scene in Your Name is absolutely heartbreaking
Awesomely described the method of
Shinkai style animation💯💯💯💥
Your videos are criminally underviewed. I hope that one of them blows up on Reddit or something and you get the attention you deserve. Also each video you post has me more excited for the next because our tastes always seem to align.
I appreciate that! Feel free to spread them
I'll see what I can do. Hope it helps.
There's always something about Makoto Shinkai's animation that makes you feel solitary
This was a really nice and insightful video essay. I wouldn't have noticed all of those particular aspects of Shinkai's animation style had you not pointed them out and it provided me with more clarity on 5 cms per second which I always feel like people should see before Your Name to understand how painful 5 cms is and thus how satisfying Your Name becomes. I remember thinking Shinkai is able to convey the painstakingly slow process through the things like the trains and the weather, without explicitly describing the feeling necessarily. I think it would be cool in general if you did just commentary videos on things like this, like what your thought about certain anime/ shows. etc.
Damn, great video man. It made me realize how sometimes it is best to not worry about things and just live the moment.
Every Frame a Painting, is that you ?...
You came back to save us all from all those vapid video essays that popped up after you left ?...
Never leave us again... TH-cam has become a scary place in your absence... People don't make the difference between substance and babbling for 10min about nothing...
Wait... How am I sure you are EFAP and not one of his poor quality clones ?!
Joke aside, I really like your content so far, I've not watched all of it but I will.
I think this recently got hit by TH-cam reccomendation algorithm. This channel really deserves it.
This video essay is wonderful.
I couldn't have expressed the idea better myself.
This was an amazing analysis of Shinkai! I loved his films already, but this gave me a new appreciation for them. I never even noticed the 2 guys talking about woodwork of the roof of that restaurant in Your Name until you showed it in the video. I was first hooked by the title of the video, and I'm glad I was!
Here before millions of views! Great video essay about Makoto shinkai's animation
When i watched Kimi no na wa first, i got like this feeling i wanna cry like 4 times. But i didnt. I dont know why. I rewatched the movie like an hour before writting this. And i cried. 4 times. for real this time.
Mitsuha going to Tokyo, Kataware doki (Amazing), "I love you" written on hand (GOD DAMN IT) and the ending..
A Silent voice is objectivly better than Your name. Had 2 or 3 hard gut punches but i didnt cry. Boy cant wait for the history to happend again xD
Your work is awesome Jesse! You're gonna be huge someday. Thanks for the work and care you put into the videos!
This video is really something I needed right now, thank you for making it.
I've been trapped in NEETdom for the last 5 months and will be for the next whole year, because I have to recover from mental illnesses that have caused me to be dropped from my former major in university.
I don't really want to wait *that* long, but I do want to start a new major, which is only possible once a year, in October.
Next October would be too little time to recover, so next year's October it has to be.
And due to this ridiculous amount of time I have on my hands now, a lot of the topics you talk about are things that I'm confronted with currently.
I've never thought about what I'm doing as waiting, because I am trying to actively make this year significant towards reaching my destination (the new major).
But I always struggled with the powerlessness of the times where I can't work towards my goals.
Now I realise in those times I'm just like a person waiting for a train, and that it's an entirely normal part of life, just in a different, more abstract, context.
wait, if you need to start a major, don't you need to pass the exams? if so, it might be better to prepare for exams than watching cartoons.
@Matthew Morante NEET means "Not in Education, Employment or Training" and the "-dom" is basically the same as in "fand-dom".
It just describes being NEET and all that this state/situation encompasses.
@@MacMan2152 Well, of course I do need to pass exams while doing my degree, and I recently started preparing for the syllabus.
But
1. as mentioned, I am recovering from mental illness and therefore I need to go at this in a way that won't burn me out, and
2. even people actively studying at university usually spend time taking breaks to relax.
So, no, I don't think it would be better to prepare than watching cartoons (or relaxing otherwise).
Both are valid and important uses of my time.
@Matthew Morante Aw, you're welcome, and thanks! Things are looking up currently. ^^
@Matthew Morante My major was informatics, and I wanted to pursue a minor in physics.
Unfortunately I am not allowed to take up informatics as a major again*, so I'm switching them up: Physics as my major, and informatics as the minor.
*due to chronic illness I didn't pass some exams in time, I tried to advocate my medical disadvantage, but they didn't accept that and kicked me out
I'm not a big fan of Makoto Shinkai but unlike other video essays about him, this has gotten me to appreciate him more.
OMG! WHY DID I JUST DISCOVERED THIS?! *You are amazing!* **hits the subscribe button**
Omfg u are so freaking underrated
Don't worry we'll spread the word!
When you started the video off by showing scenes from 5 cm per second, I was already thinking to myself "don't cry, don't cry..." and then you got me with the "even if we had written 1.000 text messages back and forth our hearts probably wouldn't have moved even 1 Centimeter closer". It's honestly one of the best lines of an inner monologue I ever had the pleasure to hear.
Anyway, I think you did a great job with this video and I have actually noticed that I started to get more infatuated with my surroundings after having watched Shinkai's work.
He likes waiting because his creation are waiting itself, tedious, boring, empty, like me waiting for his movies to end. I'm delighted that I found Hoshi Ou Kodomo to be his most exciting work, when animation is, animation. This opinion is in stark contrast to the video, who dumped on it. I think my problem was I watched his Hoshi no Koe first and witnessed his progression, or waiting of it to be precised. My problem with Shinkai is he puts a lot of effort into pointless details, giving this surreal feeling that some people can related to while someone like me, a fan of animation, absolutely detest. I don't hate his work, I just hate how he recycles his themes over and over again with shallow plot, shallow characters and shallow animation. If you want to see Japan in all its glory, just visit it but don't go to tourist spot. Pick a nice place, settle down, take long walk and BAM, you just got Shinkai-ed. I can relate with Shinkai, but not with his characters. I love the things he put onto his show: the sky, the train, the beautiful mundane scenery and objects, but I won't watch a montage of them over and over again, work after work. Unfortunately, I watched all of his works after Hoshi no Koe. If you think I am the type who love Shounen with constant action, I don't. The entire point of animation is movements and spectacles. Just look at what Satoshi and Miyazaki made against whatever Shinkai is making. He might as well make live action movie because what he made are merely animated live action. If you can relate to Shinkai magic realism or whatever else he's making. Good on you. My concern really is he's wasting big budget that he's getting on works that is full of passion but no direction. It's depressing. This is what people hailed as the next Miyazaki?
You should make a video about your videos why every shit online got more views than your superb content.
for me garden of words and 5 centimeter per second will forever be the favourite movie from makoto sir cause they are more realistic compare to kimi no nawa.liv doesnt gives shit about how you feel. you dont have happy ending every time. you just move on or have to wait.i hope makoto sir in near future will make another film like 5 cenntimeter per second
Im blown away dude. You are talented and have great taste. These videos are a treat. Subscribe!
This is nice to listen too while I wait for my flight

Your opinions on the style of Shinkai are still on point up to his recent movie film now 'Weathering With You'.
Great video like the other ones :)
Do you think it coul be applied to real physical films and not only to animation ? If so, in which ways ?
I love your channel so much. keep making videos like this.
You got me to watch an anime movie. I'm both impressed and grateful.
Its a routine for me to watch this video every night, ive been doing this for the last 7 months
TH-cam’s recommendation being on point with this popping out of my feed. Absolutely love these films
fucking excellent man. now i have to go watch every movie again
Somehow this video revived my motivation back ty so much
Shinkai portrays separation very emotionally and in a heart wrenching way.
This is so good, I'm gonna watch every one of his movies.
Can anyone tell me what the name of the movie title at 0:48 is, please and thank you.
Someone important once told me that humans are so used to instant gratification, that often it can interfere with our happiness.
This made me remember that conversation.
Here before this video gets million views
I really liked your video because I actualy never noticed it but still felt that there was something special about his films and now that I think about it you're a 100% right!
This is amazing! It's crazy to think this is so under-viewed. It's so refreshing to see top quality content such as this.
not even a 100k views on this? underrated as fuck man
"that was the best dinner i had my 15 years of life."
what a video! you perfectly encapsulated my feelings for makoto shinkai's work without ever me realising this.
This is so cool!
Found your channel by chance, and i must say it was an amazing discovery. Great quality content, keep it up my man, you just gain a new follower
I enjoyed your analysis of Makoto Shinkai´s work, hope to see you making more videos like this about other directors/creator style
I definitely forgot what kinda content your channel was and the thumbnail and title made me think this was some lo fi something or another
(absolutely phenomenal video btw)
This video is amazing!
I've been a fan of Makoto Shinkai for a while now and I've noticed that his films have /something/ different but I couldn't really put my finger on it. your video made me realize that there's a word, a meaning and an explanation to that something I was looking for! thank you for this great analysis. also, I love the title of your video! it's what made me click on it. I'm glad I watched it.
I loved the analysis of water animation
What a fucking masterpiece of an essay
Thank you for explaining 5 millimeters per second. I had a hard time understanding that film.
TH-cam Recommendations finally doing its job right
I put off watching these films for too long. This video was such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for making it.
Wow , this is epic
This just made me want to watch garden of words 😳 thank u!!!
Please do watch it! Its a very heartwarming story.
You are so so good!
This video is wonderful!!
I found out Makoto Shinkai's work around 2009-2010 from his She and Her Cat video and I went sharing the video with my Facebook friend on his Facebook group/page. Until the last time we talked (we lost contact 2 years ago) he said he really appreciated Shinkai's video that I shared and that'd always be what he'll remember of me. I fell in love *_hard_* with Shinkai's work that in my English verbal examination (in 2010 when I was 15 years old) in front of several English teachers, where we could choose our own topic, I told the examiners "My topic will be about the greatest animator I have ever seen and admire, Makoto Shinkai". So yes. I also talked about his 5 centimeter movie and included other mangaka's mangas- basically why I love anime and manga. Years later, seeing Shinkai's work getting more and more recognized worldwide, I cried so much. Thank you for making this wonderful video 🌻
I highkey needed this video right now. Small things like this video can have such a great impact on people. Thank you :)
I myself love Makoto Shinkai works and I really enjoy this video essay you made.. you explained it very well from your own prespective. makes me understand about what Mr. Shinkai tend to tell us and esspecially The improvement of Mr. Shinkai his self. About the Water and the rain, the colour... also makes me think about how life that we eagerly wait for but also to enjoy the waiting...
Man, your videos are so great ! Hoping your channel will take off soon, you deserve way more views !
man i have been waiting for this video
i'm not crying, you are crying...
You have been blessed by the algorithm, goodluck man. I will be watching
well I have learnt more directing lessons from this video than my animation directing class at uni
if you are working in that field you should watch spirited away video by insider it is really informative
Japanese animation is just amazing
Beautiful. Thank you.
5 centimeters per second is the most Shinkai film imo, he expressed his style of love, loneliness, sorrow and uncertainties the best in this movie
5cmps hits me hard because I can relate to takaki. Still haven't recovered yet...
Subscribed. Good work.
5 centimeters per second... I didn't understand it at all when I saw it... Watching your video analysis... I came to understand so much more.
The ever elusive dream... He yearned to have something despite everything he gained. It can be out of curiousity or an itch for closure.
I adore your channel. 💕
extremely underrated youtuber. Lack of appreciation for the good things on this site.
the way you made this video is as beautiful as makoto shiknai's work
such a amazing video
why am i tearing up man.. this stuff making me feel weird.
i didnt expect a commentary on how he does stuff made me realize the process behind each shot, scene and sequence. it's beautiful. thanks for putting this one together. subbed and bell well deserved
Why did I cry after watching this? My dude you're awesome!
Wow a great video man!
your videos are so interesting and informative at the same time!!
Loving how you used Lo-Fi music, which is, in itself, a genre about, and made for, waiting
"Animation does what no ohter medium can: it highlights what's already here."
Wise words.
such a meaningful work
Thank you for your great videos ♥️
