According to Shinkai, in this film he continues the portrayal of Japanese experiences due to the "perceived decline" of the country, painful disasters and disappointment due to the "poor management of the country during a pandemic" begun in the past two films. But he didn't want it to be "too dark", so he tried to make it lighter and more upbeat.

He also jokes that although he has no intention of changing his style, he will no longer be able to add ecchi jokes to the plot and is now worried about how people will perceive breast jokes during Your Name re-broadcasts due to MeToo. He also complains (?) that he can no longer portray the relationship between a man and a woman as idealistically and sublimely as before, referring to age and fatigue.

What do you think about this and the mentioned potential meanings or changes in the film compared to his usual work?

MeToo is so 2018, not sure why he is concerned now.

As long as it doesn't age very poorly like a advisory disclaimer situation with Disney Plus.
I don't see why he shouldn't make those risks if it means doing whatever it takes to recreating that Kimi no Na wa lightning in a bottle again.

You got absolutely filthy uncensored content and gore brewing at MAPPA with their recent release that'll eventually be overtaken by the proper Berserk adaptation. But I suppose he does want it to be as family friendly as possible for the Mouse to eventually pick the content rights up.

If he's not comfortable with romance & ecchi jokes anymore then ig he shouldn't force himself to do it anymore. He should focus on more serious contents instead of romance.
