We’ve visited the real-world location for the pivotal scene in the anime event of the summer, but it’s about to disappear forever.
Arguably the Shinkai-est anime yet, and perhaps the beginning of a connected Makoto Shinkai cinematic universe?
The most successful anime romance movie of all time ties together real-life couples, even if the path to true love isn’t always a direct one.
The theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s Weathering with You anime asks tough questions and gives important answers in the wake of the deadly arson attack on Kyoto Animation.
Says being unable to sleep is “a matter of course” and “people who can easily forgive themselves don’t do very good work.”
Sailor Moon is taking two steps into the future, but it’s bringing an important part of its past along for the ride.
One of Japan’s oddest TV shows celebrates its 15th anniversary with a trip to Itomori, setting of Makoto Shinkai’s anime film phenomenon.
For a limited time, Ippudo is offering a “Men in Black” ramen, served in — you guessed it — black broth!
