In fifth place is one of Makoto Shinkai’s career-defining works: “Children Who Chase Lost Voices.” This work is the producer’s first ambitious project.
Here, he still wants to experiment with story themes related to loss, while also emphasizing how the characters deal with the tragedy.
Narrating the story of an elementary school student who goes on an adventure to another world with one of her teachers, Shinkai's distinctive "style" aesthetic elements are very pleasing to the eyes of the audience.
The next masterpiece recommendation is “The Garden of Words”. This is his first work that successfully echoed Makoto Shinkai’s name to foreign countries.
Of the various films he has released, the producer also admitted that this is one of the best films he has ever made: standardizing the aesthetic style and cozy genre.
The story is relatively light: it tells the problematic romance of a student who likes to skip school and a literature teacher who teaches at his school.
The third entry is fittingly filled by “Weathering with You”. Thanks to the success of the various films it has spawned, this installation has managed to receive so many praises and awards.
This film is also part of Shinkai's "transformation" (which occurred after 2016), which is very critical of environmental issues and natural disasters - especially in Japan.
Telling the story of a teenager who runs away because of various problems at home, the plot develops when he meets a woman his age who can control the weather!
As for “Suzume,” most Vicigers must have understood. Unlike previous works, the soundtrack of this film played a big part in making its name known.
Yep, the song “Suzume” by Radwimps (as Shinkai’s “mainstay” musicians in various of his iconic works), was once a trending sound for anime songs on various short video platforms!
This film tells the story of a young couple's adventure across Japan to prevent an earthquake disaster which turns out to be the work of a mystical giant creature.
And in first place and the most must-watch for any anime lover is Makoto Shinkai's number one masterpiece entitled "Your Name".
This film was the turning point of the producer's transformation, which eventually often raised issues related to nature. Screened in 92 countries, the reception that this film received was also very good.
It is no wonder that this film, which tells the story of the body-swapping phenomenon of two "time travelers", is being planned to get a live action version from Hollywood!
