The first week of "Son of the Weather" was 1.6 billion, surpassing "Your Name". Can Makoto Shinkai replace Miyazaki Hayao?

In my opinion, the first week of Son of the Weather was 1.6 billion yuan, which surpassed Your Name. It is denied that Makoto Shinkai can replace Miyazaki Hayao.

If "The Son of the Weather" can maintain such a strong gold digging ability in the whole release cycle, it is a matter of course to surpass Spirited Away in the foreseeable future

-25.3 times 1.3 equals 32.539 billion box office.

Then the question is coming. Now, Brother Cheng can really take on the mantle of "the first man in the sun" that Miyazaki Hayao has been carrying with him?

In fact, this issue has become a hot topic among many anime fans in the past years, including Mamoru Hosoda, Jin Min and Masaaki Yuasa, all of which have been compared by anime fans.

With the record-breaking box office of Your Name in the past 16 years, it even surpassed Miyazaki Hayao in the global box office (now, with the box office in China, Spirited Away

has regained the first throne again), and the voice of Brother Cheng is getting louder and louder.

Is Makoto Shinkai really comparable to Miyazaki Hayao?

in my opinion, the answer to this question is absolutely no!

It's not that Brother Cheng's animation is not good enough, nor that his animation is not refreshing enough and unforgettable enough.

All these features can be perfectly presented by Makoto Shinkai.

unfortunately, it is far from enough to rely solely on the above criteria whether a work can become a god or whether it will remain immortal in the film history.

We must give the works broader universal value and deeper humanistic care-to put it bluntly, Makoto Shinkai, who focuses on the youthful love between men and women and the hero's pursuit of dreams, is unlikely to surpass Miyazaki Hayao.

After all, even if it is like the seemingly relaxed and daily animation,

Miyazaki Hayao has put on a world view system that is enough to amaze people during the growing experience of the heroine Kiki-a value system that is dominated by "modern market transactions", a view of making friends and a view of life.

is this something that others can learn? I'm sorry, at least I haven't seen Mamoru Hosoda, Masaaki Yuasa or Makoto Shinkai.

So in the end, there is an old saying: Makoto Shinkai is good, but your uncle is still your uncle!
