Of course, this perfection does not refer to the perfection of the script, the painting, or other technical issues, but all the elements needed to be successful as an animation are perfect, perfect for the audience. Of course, the success of this work cannot be attributed to Makoto Shinkai, because after seeing the list of producers at the end, you will naturally understand that this is a well-planned work.
The producer of Jun の 名は is Kawamura Genki. As a gold medal producer who has produced masterpieces such as Confession and Parasitic Beast, Kawamura has experienced another live-action movie, Angry, which will be released soon. This work is Lee Sang Japanese director, starring Ken Watanabe, almost any character that appears in it is the main actor who has won domestic starring awards in Japan and even international awards. To be able to call such a powerful lineup, among Japanese producers now, I am afraid that Only Kawamura Genki.
Yes, Genki Kawamura is such a great producer.
The painting supervisor of Jun の名は is Yaji Ando. Ando joined Ghibli in 1990. At the age of 28, he took office as the painting supervisor of Princess Mononoke. Later, he also served as the supervisor of Spirited Away. After leaving Ghibli , he has participated in the team of Oshii Mamoru and Jin Min successively, and joined the production of Attack in the Shell: Wushou, Red Pepper, and Delusional Agent.
It doesn't matter if you don't know these names, just know that he is the painting supervisor of top.
The theme song and insert song of this work are provided by radwimps, the name radwimps, takes the radical (radical) rad and the cowardly (wimp) synthesis, the lead singer and songwriter Noda kind Jiro, spent in the United States in elementary school and high school Begin playing the band, Japanese songs are always full of tender love words, English songs are full of sharp sarcasm. This time, of course, it was a gentle love story.
The voices of the protagonists of this work are Ryunosuke Kamiki and Moeyin Kamishi. Ryusuke Kamiki was famous on the Japanese haiku performance list last year. Although he is young, he is also a promising newcomer in acting. He debuted at the age of two as a child star. A lot of animation, not to mention a humble hard worker, this time, his dubbing also contributed. Surprisingly, there is also Masami Nagasawa. For so many years, the rule of star dubbing = great reading has not taken effect this time.
As for the story, I always feel that Makoto Shinkai is actually not good at describing characters. He depicts beautiful and unparalleled backgrounds, but those backgrounds have nothing to do with the previous characters. The characters in the stories of Shinkai's past works are all in my opinion. Much like the statue in a small painting box, it is a thin piece of paper, just to make the scenery look not completely unintentional, only this time is different, because there is the question of "your name", he The protagonists of the story are alive, and they are no longer the fateful marionettes in the story, and they begin to touch people's hearts.
------------------------------------
Two of the hottest movies coming out in Japan this summer are Anno Godzilla directed by Xiuming and your name directed by Makoto Shinkai, this is very interesting, the first interesting place is the name of the most popular movie released in the summer of 1954, also called Godzilla and your name, this kind of reincarnation Ordinary coincidences feel like fate, and the latter's box-office hits, as expected, turned Shinkai into the highest-grossing animated film director since Miyazaki.
The second interesting point is that the description of Tokyo in the two works is very different. In Godzilla, the city of Tokyo was destroyed by Godzilla, and those familiar streets and buildings became a sea of fire and ruins, and in your name, Tokyo is incredibly beautiful, even the people living in Tokyo. People sigh that it is a familiar scenery, but it can also be so beautiful.
Anno Hideaki and Shinkai Makoto are both directors who are better at describing things than people, but the difference between the Tokyo they describe is like two cities.
Perhaps the biggest difference is that Anno Hideaki is from the 1960s and Shinkai Makoto is from the 1970s.
In 1960, when Anno Hideaki was born, the Vietnam War was fierce, the Japan-US security agreement came into effect, and France successfully detonated an atomic bomb to become the fourth nuclear-armed country.
Soon after, students on Tokyo's university campuses confronted the police with Molotov cocktails.
Tokyo in this era stares silently at the colors of flames and red flags.
In 1972, the year before Shinkai was born, China and Japan re-established diplomatic relations. After this, the Vietnam War will end soon, and the DPRK and the ROK have launched the first Panmunjom talks. The West-Shinjuku development plan is officially implemented, and super high-rise buildings will be erected one after another, and soon Tokyo will become the splendid super city that people are familiar with.
Anye and Xinhai actually represent two generations. The former understands each other, but has no way of responding, and can only rely on things, while the latter is unclear from the beginning, but places their feelings on Jing.
In this summer, I think Toho probably wants to give all the audience what Tokyo looks like in two eras.

Second brushing experience
This time, a friend who has watched his peers asks a question, why are the two protagonists two? Personally, it took three years to exchange consciousness with each other. Why didn't I know the time, why all the information left after I discovered it suddenly disappeared, and why did the protagonists forget each other's names.
Then go home and think again, slap on the thigh, and suddenly realize that this exchange of consciousness of the protagonist is actually quantum communication and quantum entanglement? And once you realize the fact, decoherence collapses. . . . No wonder it hits the earth with a comet! Accidental bugs are well rounded.
