On the other hand, filmmakers will be able to decide how lively the characters want to be.

WhileYour Namehas a strong storytelling,Fireworkshas fascinating drawings.

Each scene is a piece of art!

Was it difficult for you to approach following up the massive success ofYour Name?

I think what the audience anticipates changes on a daily basis as well.

I dont make films only for a specific market.

I think a lot of our readers are curious about the process of directing a Japanese animation film.

What do you hope audiences around the world take away from the film?

It is also wonderful that people will see the uniqueness of Japanese animation and the art this film holds.

I want people to feel the catharsis by witnessing [the quality of our artistic] depiction surpass storytelling.
