Weathering with you: Sypnosis

The summer of his high school freshman year, Hodaka runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo, and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to suggest his future. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hodaka meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strong-willed girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky...

Weathering With You': Breezy with scattered showers

Arriving in the middle of a seemingly endless rainy season in Tokyo, “Weathering With You” feels like it’s benefitted from an ingenious stealth marketing campaign. Little has been left to chance with Makoto Shinkai’s follow-up to “Your Name.” The film raked in nearly $360 million globally, turning its creator into the most commercially successful anime maker since Hayao Miyazaki.

Some people would be overwhelmed by the pressure to repeat such a feat, but Shinkai barely flinches. “Weathering With You” doubles down on a lot of what made its predecessor such a hit with audiences, from the maximalist visuals to the Radwimps soundtrack, without feeling quite so much like it was focus-grouped to be as addictive to 16-year-olds as bubble tea.

Once again, the story centers on two teenagers who appear destined to become more than just good friends. Hodaka (voiced by Kotaro Daigo) arrives in Tokyo after running away from home, for reasons that are never explained, and soon finds himself sleeping on the streets of the seedy Kabukicho district.

Yet the storytelling is surprisingly sloppy. A plot thread involving a gun that Hodaka finds in a trash can is totally out of place. It’s also hard to get invested in narrative tangents involving Suga’s attempts to repair his relationship with his young daughter, or the world-weary detective (Sei Hiraizumi) who ends up on Hodaka’s tail.

Like Disney’s remake of “The Lion King,” the film’s hyperrealism tends to impress rather than inspire wonder. What’s frustrating is that, when “Weathering With You” shows the known world in a radically different light during an extended coda, it’s far more intriguing than what’s come before. Shinkai’s film is an entertaining ride, but it ends up where it really should have started.

The critically acclaimed anime WEATHERING WITH YOU arrives on DVD, Blu-ray & Collector’s Edition Steelbook 28th September

The creators of “Your Name” return with the UK box office hit drama that earlier in the year became Japan’s first anime entry for the Academy Awards’ Best International Feature Film in over 20 years. Now coming to Blu-ray, DVD and a Collector’s Edition, the UK critically acclaimed “Weathering With You” is an uplifting timely arrival for the world we find ourselves in.

Ever since we were swept away by 2016’s phenomenal “Your Name”, the question perched almost nervously on our lips, has been how Makoto Shinkai could top what many consider to be his magnum opus. The answer is a story that both improves on what we love about “Your Name”, while also crafting an identity that is uniquely “Weathering With You”.

The sensational animation of CoMix Wave Films returns us to the incredibly detailed and lifelike Tokyo, where even neon lights are reflected in puddles with pinpoint realism. This isn’t the same bright metropolis where Mitsuha delighted in upmarket cafés, however. This Tokyo is unforgiving, with its decaying, seedy underbelly on full display. Not being able to go out and play in the sun doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy those rainy days in though, and the connection forged between Hodaka and Hina in spite of this backdrop, is the film’s marvellous rainbow.

Like how “Your Name” captured Japan’s cultural zeitgeist with the backdrop of a natural disaster, the freak rainstorm central to “Weathering with You” and the story that builds around it taps into the collective consciousness about the ongoing climate disaster. The film also wonderfully blends themes of traditionalism versus modernisation that have been central to Shinkai’s other works, creating a detailed, and delightfully complex world that reflects our own.

Weathering with you: Review

"If you are an anime fan this is a must see. Many tropes abound but so what: Thats why we love anime! It's a good story with good characters and vibrant colors. At times the lines between anime and live acton seem to be blurred as CG becomes part of the animators tool ever more prominently but here, still, the artists vision comes through ever more sharply and colorful. CG does not take over the look of the film by any means and at times an irredecent quality seems to radiate from the screen during key moments. Anime as cinematic art: You will see that here. Weathering with You is from the writer/creator of Your Name...perhaps one of the best modern love stories and certainly one of the best love stories in anime, so expect a level of emotional involvement and cathartic moments aided by a soundtrack that heightens the experience. This is a good date movie or a more mature family movie night that will be sure to leave a lasting impression. Of course watching it alone is good too. Some have said this a climate issues movie but if you listen to the dialog it is most definitely not. Several statements throughout the movie make this very clear. It is not political at all.So if you are a fan of Your Name or anime movies with a touch of super natural sparkle mixed with anime realistic world buildingl, or simply just plain old good stories on film.... anime or not; Weathering with You is something you may well enjoy very much."

"Words cannot express how much I love this movie! This is a beautiful anime. Just do yourself a favor and watch it. I have seen it in Japanese with English subs and also in English dubs. I love both versions and recommend watching both versions. Love!"

"This movie is so good in every way, the characters are great, the plot is amazing, it feels a lot longer than it is but not rushed at all. Overall its an amazing movie and for 20 bucks there's no reason not to watch it"
