Tenki No Ko: Weathering With You is the latest film from Japan’s acclaimed director Makoto Shinkai. Hailed as the next Hayao Miyazaki, Shinkai rose to international stardom with his smash-hit film
Which is scheduled for a North American release in early 2020. This article will serve as a short (admittedly sometimes biased) comparison of Your Name vs. Weathering With You.
Is It Possible That Mitsuha And Taki Would Have Never Met As Shown At The End Of The Movie?
I was blessed with the opportunity to see the film on opening day in Japan and it did not disappoint. However, was
Was a great anime film in its own right, it did not surpass the greatness of its predecessor. Here are 5 reasons why
For the 2nd (more likely 6th) time, I started to wonder why they didn’t go into more detail about Taki’s backstory. All we really know about him is that he has a dad, doesn’t appear to have a mom or siblings, and that’s about it. Since the film focused more on Mitsuha’s family history, I didn’t think too much of it and I’m not sure Taki’s family history would’ve benefited the film in any way.

had the same problem for me. However, this time there is a lack of backstory for both main characters, Hodaka and Hina. Of course, we know that Hina’s mom passes away and she is left to take care of her younger brother. However, the pain of that loss, and her and her brother’s struggles were never touched on, which I thought were pinnacle to their character in the film.
Hodaka is a 15-year-old boy who runs away from home to try to live on his own in Tokyo. Something must’ve driven him to do that, but again we aren’t told what it is. We know that he’s lost, but we don’t know why he is lost.
Hina is the girl who he falls in love with, the girl who gives him meaning in life and the feeling that he is no longer alone. But the strength of their bond and the impact on the audience would’ve been much stronger if we knew just what it was that Hina was saving him from or what Hodaka was running away from.2. Weird Abrupt Graphics Changes
Your Name” Or “weathering With You” ?
This may be a smaller flaw and personal preference, but a few times throughout the film the art style changes from tradition anime 2D cel-shaded art, to 3D CGI shot from weird angles. The change is so obvious and abrupt that you are immediately taken aback by it when it happens.
There is a scene in the film where Hodaka and Hina are enjoying fireworks on the roof of a building. The scene then changes to 3D CGI and shows an overview of Tokyo skyscrapers with the camera moving between them as the fireworks explode in the sky. However, with such a scene it distracted from the emotion of the moment the two characters shared on the roof. As well, the CGI did not enhance the beauty of the fireworks at all. I believe it would’ve been a much more beautiful scene if it were just kept in the standard 2D animation style.
While the main theme “Ai Ni Dekiru Koto Wa Mada Aru Kai” or “Is There Anything Else Love Can do” is beautiful, the rest of the songs were average or forgettable. Whereas in

In a previous article, Top 3 Tenki No Ko: Weathering With You Story Predictions (with Screenshots), I boldly (and wrongly) guessed that Shinkai would not go for another happy ending. I thought he wouldn’t want to paint himself as a predictable director. I hate myself for saying this, but I feel like he too closely sampled elements of

That he believed made it a mainstream success. The truth is a lot of his past works were more artistic and less mainstream.

Is also a film that has the potential to speak to a wide audience, the film felt too formulaic for me and even a little (emphasis on “little”) bit cheap.
Movie Review And Recommendation
In the end, I don’t fault Shinkai for wanting his film to be a mainstream success. Who doesn’t love money and good reviews, right? But I really wish he hadn’t gone for another happily-ever-after ending.

Sixteen-year-old Hodaka Morishima runs away from his home on a distant island and moves to Tokyo, where he struggles to support himself in the bustling city. After landing a live-in job as a tabloid journalist tasked with investigating urban legends and supernatural events, Hodaka meets Hina, a young girl also struggling to support herself and younger brother Nagi. Hodaka learns that Hina has the power to temporarily manipulate the weather, and the two of them set out together to offer a reprieve from the non-stop rain in Tokyo with her ability.
As the film progresses, a series of tragic events unfold, as you've probably already guessed: the weather gets exponentially worse and out of Hina's control, the police come looking for Hodaka and they call social services on Hina, and we learn that Hina has to be sacrificed to the heavens to return the weather to normal, which she does herself before being rescued by Hodaka.

Looks amazing, but it has some trouble deciding what kind of movie it wants to be: tender teen romance, gritty urban drama, apocalyptic climate change metaphor or uplifting fantasy — a statement that aptly encapsulates the kind of film it is. Yet, this film still has something new to offer.
Over the years, Makoto Shinkai has established a distinct identity as an anime director through his work. His digital techniques and unique art style have been at the forefront of the modern anime film revolution, particularly thanks to
