Anime streaming website Crunchyroll have announced this weekend (Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th March) they will present 'Global Shinkai Day 2011'. A celebration of some of the work of Makoto Shinkai.

The concept being they will be streaming three of Makoto Shinkai's works worldwide (excluding Japan) for free! That's right, absolutely free!

We should note, that the screenings on Crunchyroll will more than likely be in Japanese with English Subtitles. The reason we say more than likely, is because all other content on the website is subtitled.

It's a great chance to catch some of his work if you haven't experienced them already! All the details regarding this global event can be found at Crunchyroll's website.
