Awesome! I am really happy you picked it up and like itFrom SciFier: The Art of Makoto Shinkai: a sky longing for memories.
This is a really nice book that not only displays some of Shinkai's gorgeous artwork, but also goes into a bit of detail on how Shinkai creates his art (largely his landscapes and cityscapes) and also includes some interviews from those who he has worked with.
Thanks to @RedundantSquash for recommending this one.

Oooh top tip, which I must have missed in the previous posts. His background art has been stunning from the very beginning I think (not character art though, so I'm very glad he outsources that nowAwesome! I am really happy you picked it up and like it![]()

I rewatched 5cm/s and loved it even more than before. It hits harder having since rewatched his lighter subsequent movies numerous times. Trying to read the manga now as recommended.
I didn't know it had two dubs (and why? Different publishers I'm presuming) but if they're good I don't mind watching with those next time hehI really like that it has two English dubs
(I also very much enjoy the movie itself haha)![]()

I'd have to draw the line at horseradish flavored Kit Kat bars, they really have a lot of weird varieties of them in Japan.View attachment 38920
Yesterday I visited the Heroes: Made in Asia convention in Utrecht, The Netherlands. There I picked up a bunch of stuff (mostly imported drinks). Highlight is of course the collector's edition of Metaphor: ReFantazio. Not included in this picture is a poster of Perfect Blue that I also picked up during the convention.
Oh, nice - I have that same art book too, picked that up quite a few years ago.
