For all the unparalleled visual brilliance Shinkai Makoto has displayed, he’s much more of a poet than than a master of prose – an iconoclast whose work seems likely to thrill the serious anime community rather than become part of the public imagination. But for all the improvement Goro Miyazaki displayed with Kokuriko-zaka Kara, he hasn’t shown the gifts of a true auteur yet (and seems to have limited interest in being a full-time writer/director).
I’ve written about this subject quite a bit – I expect it interests me rather more than than most people. Of all the directors who have been singled out as "The next Miyazaki" – including the one who calls the original "Otou-san" – Hosoda Mamoru the one who probably comes closest to being a candidate to fit the bill.
