via Nick, who has been blogging about Shinkai and Byousoko 5 cm for a year now. The subtitles are, ahem. not officially sanctioned. The hype surrounding Shinkai as the next Miyazaki has definitely whetted my interest. I have also learned that you can’t go wrong with a Nick obsession 
UPDATE: Nick has a massive post with numerous shorts by Shinkai, and a link to an english fan site.

Hah! Thanks for the compliment! I think it’s a compliment…
Oh, I have more Shinkai candy for you!
I’m still not fully sure about the Shinkai = next Miyazaki thing, but I do know that I am a fan of both.
It’s definitely a compliment
I also owe my enjoyment of Twelve Kingdoms to you (though the Taiki arc is the one that interested me the most, and which of course is the one that they didn’t finish.).
awesome post. I am updating this one…
