Alternate title: Makoto Shinkai is a Weird Loser.
My boyfriend Jay and I spent the last three months watching every single movie by prolific (?) anime director and writer(???) Makoto Shinkai.
During this two and a half hour review, we ended up psychologically deconstructing this weird loser of a man and thoroughly roasted him for making one movie fourteen times that's just a wish fulfilment fantasy where a 15-year-old girl tells him he's cool and it was fine that he spent three years obsessing over her.

Here is She and Her Cat for those interested. It's only 5 minutes long and it still manages to be Too Long somehow.
Garden of Words and Your Name were reviewed in an earlier post which can be found here.
Some moments from The Children Who Chase Lost Voices compared to the Ghibli movies they stole things from. I could literally make a 50 minute video about this. I do not have the time or inclination to do that.
