Landscapes in “The Garden of Words” and reality. Illustrations by Makoto Shinkai (5 Centimeters per Second, Beyond the Clouds, The Garden of Lost Voices).
In Shinkai’s anime, the landscapes are meticulously drawn, against which the actors are deliberately depicted simply. Interestingly, both are done in regular Photoshop. At least, that was the case in 2008, when Shinkai was interviewed after “5 Centimeters per Second”.
