Makoto Shinkai at Work on a New Film
|Acclaimed anime director Makoto Shinkai revealed publicly yesterday that he’s now at work on a new anime film, his longest production yet. Shinkai stated that his previous anime (Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days, 5cm Per Second) have dealt with the theme of separation. His new film will further delve into that theme by focusing on how a single cheerful girl must face and overcome a personal loss. Shinkai was reticent with details about his new film because the work hasn’t been formally announced yet.

It seems like Shinkai is producing progressively more complex titles, both in terms of storytelling and what he’s willing to put his allied production partners through.
