Line 23:
* [[Jack of All Trades]]: Shinkai himself is a real jack-of-all trades filmmaker. For ''Five Centimeters Per Second'', he was responsible for writing, directing, storyboarding, directing the sound, animating, supervising and drawing the backgrounds, cinematographer, and editing. He also wrote the lyrics to the [[Award Bait Song|theme song]] to ''The Place Promised in Our Early Days'', and as mentioned previously, did everything in the creation of ''Voices Of A Distant Star'' aside from voice the female lead during the initial run, which was provided by his wife.
* [[Long Title]]: Most of the productions have rather long titles. In particular, ''Five Centimeters Per Second'''s proper title is ''5 Centimeters Per Second: A Chain Of Short Stories About Their Distance''.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Makoto Shinkai did everything, save the music and the female lead's, voice, in ''Voices Of A Distant Star''. In his subsequent works, he has had a production team helping him.
* [[Real Place Background]]: Many of the publicly-accessible locales featured in Shinkai's works are actual locations that have drawn large numbers of pilgrims after their release.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: This is a given in his works -- consider that his art has a tendency to make ''[[Real Life]]'' appear dreary and low-resolution. In particular, the art in ''Five Centimeters Per Second'' [[Up to Eleven|surpasses]] those of his previous works: see [[Scenery Porn]] and [[Cherry Blossom]] trope images.
