I like the visuals more than the actual film itself or the characters

Yes! The movie is just rain porn, and its fantastic for that.
Characters, a little vapid, same with the story.

I think a theme with many of these films is getting lost in the art whether its visually or the poetic nature of the emotions being portrayed and romantic themes. They come across more of a feeling and understanding in a general way than expert story telling or character rich stories, if that makes sense.

CoMix is the definition of eye-candy for animation studios, every major project they’ve animated is pure bliss from the gods themselves. Makoto Shinkai however, is a mixed bag of writing.

You are not the only one, thats why its a 6/10 movie. Great production and visuals/audio. With barely a story to speak of.

Yeah that whole ordeal near the end along with the stairwell scene had a feeling like this:

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?"

Listen, it's a story and that's fine, but that bit was just so unbelievably confusing.

Visually beautiful film, and love the vibe of the whole film. The characters and story forgettable.

I don't think visually any of Shinkai's movies have reached the satisfaction this one gives. The 45 minute runtime helps elevating the animation I guess.

Same. It's basically an hour of aesthetic replenishment your eyes. Loved every minute of this. Most people didn't watch for the plot anyway
