Well TBH, I totally disagree with that.
If you toss out Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo (which was a blatant and misguided attempt to make a Ghibli movie and stands as a total outlier) I think you can break Shinkai’s career down to pre and post-Your Name. The earlier movies are Shinkai making Shinkai movies because he’s Shinkai. The last two are Shinkai trying to make the movie he thinks people expect a Shinkai movie to be.
