”72 Seasons” of Makoto Shinkai:
Not only are his movies pure eye candy, the stories he tells are bittersweet and he manages to touch one’s heart. Shinkai-san is truly a blessing and a gift from the heavens.
No sexual scene, no screaming while fighting scene, no weird looking characters. Just a normal human being with realistic environment and heart touching storytelling. Yeah some of his movies are unexplainable but still it manage to attract our soul while watching it. This is what I call the true artist of animation and storytelling.
