Yeah I agree . It seems like the roles of the Wind and Earth Sages are newer than the six Ancient Elemental Sages . <| sep |> i like it . current setup , i ' m lucky for 510 fps on Skylines . <| sep |> I was watching it because of the way his other movies , such as Kotonoha no Niwa and Five Centimeters pr . Second , just are so . beautiful . Oh yeah I can definitely understand why you feel it this way . The movie has 3 arcs , while the first arc is pretty much the same as his other works 5 cms and Kotonoha come to my mind , they were a bit slow paced , but then the second and third arc step up in term of story writing , it ' s totally different from his past style , it is much faster , action packed with suspenseful atmosphere to heartbreaking moments and there wasn ' t any room for you to catch your breath . In contrast , 5 cms and Kotonoha there were many silent moments to emerge in the character ' s thoughts . The ending also plays a bigger role Heavy spoilers in Kimi no Na was It actually has a happy conclusion unlike a majority of his works when we were left with such dreadful ending , not in a bad way but it just crushes your heart . In Kimi no Na wa , the ending is much more satisfied , it ' s like a fairy tale . So it ' s pretty much the Shinkai ' s old style versus his new founded style . While his old style may leave you with a bigger impact , his new style is definitely friendlier and appeal more people , it ' s easier to get into and emerge with the storycharacters . Though I have to say I just love his new style so much , I watched the movie yesterday and until today I am still stunned by it , I barely watch any anime today , I just can ' t get it out of my head and many of its beautiful soundtracks . l 4 O 9 lB 0 A 9 ns
