This guy was a producer on Suzume and Your Name. Ouch. Will do some damage to Makoto Shinkai.
Side note, Suzume had some great points but also some clear flaws. Your Name is definitely Shinkai's best so far.
Suzume was a fun ride, but it doesn't hit you in the feels as hard as Your Name did with its theme of nostalgia and impermanence.
Plus, Suzume was damn thirsty the moment she saw Souta, whereas Taki and Mitsuha had some buildup.
