Suzume
| I think the modern films Makoto Shinkai directs tend to appeal more or less to a particular demographic that watch for the art style. It also doesn't help when a lot of these series take place in a similar universe so they're bound to be connected whether its the storylines, characters etc. |
| I thought it was more of a remake of Children Who Chase Lost Voices, except Suzume took itself less seriously and had a nice road trip vibe (probably for the better too - I hated CWCLV haha) I think the reason why it's rated so high is that it was a lot of new anime fan's first time seeing a Shinkai movie be released (at the cinema, I mean). I admit, I am one of those people xD It's okay if you didn't like it. I think it's probably more focused on the mother-daughter aspect which is why the romance isn't as fleshed out as some of Shinkai's other works. |

| Shinkai films are only visually appealing. The rest of it is the same repetitive formulatic crap |
| I remember hearing somewhere how Suzume is about Japan’s geography and awareness about environmental disasters i.e. earthquakes, while I personally believe Tenki no Ko to be about the results and consequences of one’s own decisions. But yeah, they all or at least the majority of MS’s movies feel really similar to one another. I don’t know about a remake though. |

your name was the only one that had a good story
| Story is a big maybe if we consider the meaning behind it, but goodness the romance is awful and the characters have zero personality or backbone to them. |

| Aren't all Shinkai's movies the same though? The only thing he is good at is painting. He is a terrible storyteller and he is unable to create good characters. Basically, his characters are just static cardboards installed in his art exhibition. No idea how y'all fans distinguish one movie from another. |

| It's so formulaic, and the ending sucks. The romance feels forced, but at least the talking cat thingy was cute. |

bro ik I'm gonna sound weird for this but I didn't understand what was going on in 5cm per second... maybe I will watch an explanation video and see it again but I was confused on even if the characters in the 3 parts are the same people cause they looked different
| From what I remember from the movie, the manga and my own personal analysis, I believe that the second girl that appears later on is an extension of us the audience in order to see the dilemma that Takaki is going through from an outside perspective and how it's a painful realization of the bittersweetness of time. It plays a role in reinforcing the general theme of distance and fleeting memories, an inevitability of life that no one is spared from. Admittedly, the later chapters do get iffy with Kanae and her whole shtick, but I took it away as a reminder to not dwell on the past because it hinders one's progression forward and outlook towards the future. It's like getting your foot stuck in something and struggling to get it out, it'll stay that way unless you put in the effort in an attempt to pull free. |

| This is completely different |
 |
| I thought it was fantastic. Not dissimilar to weathering with you but I mean, when you've got scifi/supernatural phenomena happening alongside romance, it's probably going to seem similar. Thoroughly enjoyed both and now I'm a fan boy of the director. |
