Looking back at 2016, although there are famous directors in the Japanese film industry, the overall situation is still unclear. Although there are topic works such as Makoto Shinkai's "Your Name", the excessive pursuit of a film also means that the environment is poor.
In 2017, "fossil-level" filmmakers such as Tatsuya Nakayo, Yasuo Shigeki, and Yoji Yamada are still active in the film industry, and have gathered the younger generation to bring a lot of "big productions"; on the other hand, Kitano Takeshi, Kumachi ka, Yoshida Daihachi and other strange coffees are also working in their respective fields.
