Synopsis

Tokyo is currently experiencing rain showers that seem to disrupt the usual pace of everyone living there to no end. Amidst this seemingly eternal downpour arrives the runaway high school student Hodaka Morishima, who struggles to financially support himself—ending up with a job at a small-time publisher. At the same time, the orphaned Hina Amano also strives to find work to sustain herself and her younger brother.

Both fates intertwine when Hodaka attempts to rescue Hina from shady men, deciding to run away together. Subsequently, Hodaka discovers that Hina has a strange yet astounding power: the ability to call out the sun whenever she prays for it. With Tokyo's unusual weather in mind, Hodaka sees the potential of this ability. He suggests that Hina should become a "sunshine girl"—someone who will clear the sky for people when they need it the most.

Things begin looking up for them at first. However, it is common knowledge that power always comes with a hefty price...

Shinkai Makoto, the fiercely idiosyncratic anime filmmaker whose long-simmering career exploded into legend when “Your Name” became an international phenomenon in 2016, has always been infatuated with the environment. The likes of “5 Centimeters per Second” and “Children Who Chase Lost Voices” may not express the same ecological concern that courses through Studio Ghibli’s work, but few movies of any kind have ever devoted more energy to — or divested more emotion from — the worlds around their characters. From unknown alien planets to rural Japanese footpaths, Shinkai’s backdrops are so lush, saturated, and ephemeral that the space between characters is best measured by heartache. ...

Mixed Feelings

*No Spoilers*
This review is for Tenki no ko, or Weathering with You.

Summary:
Weathering with You is a film written by Makoto Shinkai and incorporates similar themes and story-telling. In Weathering with You, the main character, Hodaka Morishima, enters the story as a runaway and eventually meets a love interest named Hina. The story and characters in this film pale in comparison to Your Name, and I found it to be rather disappointing. This story relies more on a forced romance with little direction for adventure. The film does have excellent art and music, but the story and characters are relative weaknesses

Story: 5/10
Weathering with You follows ... Hodoka as he runs from an unspecified challenge at home which, ironically, becomes completely irrelevant by the end of the story. Nonetheless, Hodoka meets a girl and they magically fall in love. Although there are glaring issues with the plot in general, the story seems to force a romance between two characters without building those characters, and it completely backfires. To avoid spoilers, I will just clarify that the main character makes absurd decisions near the end of the movie all for love that isn't even depicted in the film. At one point, there's some ludicrous action that is completely unnecessary, and Hodoka just immediately knows what to do. There are also ridiculous plot points that bring nothing to the story, prevent the main character from being held accountable, and detract from the viewer's ability to take the film seriously.

Art: 10/10
As with Your Name, the art is stunning and is by far the highlight of the film.

Sound: 9/10
Radwimps wrote and performed the music for this film, and it is a wonderful soundtrack. The songs are generally fitting and even listening to the soundtrack without watching is a wonderful experience.

Characters: 6/10
The characters in Weathering with You are both interesting and confusing, primarily because of forced behaviors. Although there isn't anything innately terrible with Hodoka and Hina as main characters, the story prevents them from having actual chemistry. There are also too many secrets about the characters, and the viewer doesn't get to invest in them because they're not sure what they're supposed to be investing in. The plot seems to force characters together, which strips the story from actual romance. Sure, they are friendly and caring, but it seems as though Hodoka's love is more forced than natural, and Hina is merely being a friend and caretaker. The side characters are also interesting, but their growth is overlooked by the end of the story due to their limited screen time. To avoid spoilers, I will say that, near the end, there is a major event that combines forced romance with extremely stupid decision-making. Ultimately, the main character starts the story having made a decision to flee from home, though the reasons are not explained. This was the original premise. Then, the ending completely ruins this premise because he makes a huge decision and then just completely disregards the tension he had from leaving home and magically everything is better by the end. The characters truly didn't have a chance to develop with the forced story line, unfortunately.

Enjoyment: 6/10
Weathering with You was a huge disappointment, especially after watching Your Name. I didn't dislike the film, but I found the characters' relationships too forced and some bizarre plot points (ie. gun-related shenanigans) to detract from what one would expect in a romance film.

Overall: 7.2/10

Funny

Shinkai's worst movie. I haven't seen them all, but I'm calling it anyway. Not a single aspect of his style works with this.

Shinkai's fantastical externalization of the internal here slips into total solipsism; emotions are of such paramount importance that they are worth destroying a city and likely killing untold thousands over. That is, unless those people are part of one's found family, apparently the one class of humans deemed worthy of salvation from an apocalypse which is, as with everything, made as clean and naturalistic as possible; all its serious real-world issues sterilized and made into inoffensively beautiful wallpaper. It's genuinely misanthropic, and, even ...
