Miyazaki is the only one who can even compare.

miyazaki is much more talented than shinkai, but shinkai is still young and i am really excited for his future

and i say that even though 5 cm/second is one of my favourite movies

shinkai seems to just be really good at creating stories that really tug at your heart strings

5 cm per second is one of my favourites even though the story is so cookie cutter.
