Wow. This is such an excellent work. Thank you so much for it.

This is unrelated. I recently went and watched Markoto Shinkai's latest film : Kimi no Na wa. (Your Name.). Like his previous works, it's extraordinary. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

While Markoto Shinkai won't be Miyazaki, his work are pretty good and he's still very young so I really hope to see him making great ones like Miyazaki.

It feels to me sometimes that the "new Miyazaki" is much like being the "new Dylan" used to be in the music industry.

Though we lost him too young, Kon Satoshi was able to reach the level of extraordinary several times. "Every Frame a Painting" covered his work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz49vQwSoTE

Every Frame A Painting is the channel that made me feel passionate about movies, direction and editing. The guy has some real talent in analyzing stuff and keeping it short.
Another young director that also deserves attention is Yasuhiro Yoshiura. For the HN audience I'd recommend his short Pale Cocoon about an archivist in charge of restoring humanity's collective digital history and his spin full of humor on Asimov's Laws of Robotics in Time of Eve.

Also, minor nitpick, it's Makoto, not Markoto.
