Is he regarded as Miyazaki's successor in the West?

Is that Shinkai? I don't think so since his films are very different.

This imageboard is for the discussion of anime and manga, if you don't understand moon you shouldn't be watching/reading either as all you have are trannylations then.

Compared to Miyazaki I think his writing is more coherent but more generic as a result.
He's most like Miyazaki in that they both do anal retentive storyboarding of the entire films themselves which is not common at all.

I can't read kanji yet but I can sort of understand some spoken conversations after listing to a couple thousand hours of untranslated Japanese.

Shinkai has shit story so no. Show one shinkai film thats better than Nausicaa. Couldn't even top that shitshow Howls Moving Castle

>>279851847
Nice try normalfag only watched Howls, Boy and the Heron and Spirited Away.

Nausicaa, Castle in the Sky, Mononoke, The Wind Rises are all coherent. The Wind Rises is probably the most coherent.

shinkai has no talent
