| For now, I like this more than Kimi no Na wa. Although Kimi no Na wa has better story and music, I found Tenki no Ko duo more interesting than Kimi no Na wa's. Makoto Shinkai's films always deliver because it utilize all the things you would like to feel when seeing a movie in a cinema; memorable ost, stunning dynamic graphics, grounded yet a bit dramatic story and characters you have feelings for. |
| Thread Cleaned I think things haven't been clear concerning spoilers. If you haven't watched the movie, you shouldn't be posting in this discussion thread. Episode discussions are supposed to be for people who have already seen the anime and want to talk about it so there's no need for spoiler tags unless you mention the original work or a related anime.

ArcturusMi said: To answer your questions... 1. I think it's both. The consequence of Hina overexerting her own prayers (instead of conveying other people's many prayers) + it's against the "divine decree" that some parts of Tokyo must be drowned 2. He understands that he (and Hina) must be responsible, as an adult. It's hinted at various times, especially the time he cried when he learned Hina is actually younger than him, i thought it's just him being childishly insecure of liking girls older than him, but then I remember throughout the film, Hina is the one who acts like the elder one, instead of Hodoka. He feels that they should live with the consequences of their actions to stay, that Tokyo is waterworld now. Also on Kimi No Na Wa part, it really bugs me. Its ending sets at 2021-2022 while Tenki No Ko ends in 2022.The Tokyo in Kimi No Na Wa is bright as hell under the sunshine, the rain isn't heavy and it only occurred during the night where Taki almost met Mitsuha. But i find it funny when I remember Taki Itomori-influenced motivation for being an architect in Tokyo, "we don't know when Tokyo will be destroyed, right? So I'll make a monument that's memorable to be remembered" well what happened? Wi_Vi said: Just watched it today, and personally liked it a whole lot. I would like to chip in on some of the questions asked. Anyways, I liked this movie a WHOLE lot. I actually quite enjoyed their soundtracks. Personal favorite vocal OST would be We'll Be Alright Personal favorite non-vocal OST would be Fireworks Display. I felt that the music here was more "toned down" to suit the movie more. I don't think that we can compare Kimi no Nawa with this movie often. I feel that most come into this movie (including myself) expecting perhaps some plotline similar to that of Makoto's previous works. I think that one could enjoy the movie much more gong into it expecting a completely new universe and a completely new cast and whatnot. Anyways, I felt this movie was more realistic in it's romance aspect, considering that the characters were more often together than in "Your Name". As a standalone movie, it's honestly really great. I really liked the contrast they did with: I also really liked how they not only fleshed out the characters, but they did the same for the environment, showcasing a large part of Tokyo. Overall, I felt this movie was exceptionally good. On the other hand, if you've went into the cinemas constantly comparing this title with "Your Name", then you might not enjoy it as much. Hmm... I thought I was just missing something during the viewing but it seems like those 2 scenes are kept somewhat vague by Shinkai to let everyone do their own interpretation. Also interesting to know that the movie is actually set forward 2 years in the future, as Shinkai usually keep his movies related to the release year unless the settings require otherwise. Then the whole Taki & Mitsuha meetup being spiced up by Hina's prayer might not be that unintentional. I can agree on the RADWIMPS insert songs being great, but I feel like some of the other OSTs just shared the same chord progressions and syncopations as some of the soundtracks from Your Name. If I had one suggestion to the storytelling it might be |
| The last part of the movie was the embodiment of that "ya'll are going to jail, PERIOD" reaction video. But fr though, that whole last section from the police chase and onwards was too unbelievably convenient. I honestly thought that the whole movie was going to be a metaphor about climate change and how we should stop exploiting the environment for personal gain otherwise we're all gonna die but that ending just threw out any thematic complexities it had going on. Like, if Shinkai didn't try to fit the plot of this movie into the structure of Your Name, then undoubtedly, more its key ideas could have been fleshed out. The movie was overall just aight tho. The visuals and soundtrack were on point and that first half that centred around the sunshine girl business was great. |

| It seems I have similar thoughts with every Makoto Shinkai movie. They never really strike any emotional cords with me but look really pretty. The movie was okay, I did have a lot of appreciation for the attention to detail, and there were a few scenes I liked. Such as the montage scene of the sunshine girl doing her work and when everyone helped the main guy get away from the police. The music was really great too. Overall though, the movie didn’t leave much of an impression on me. 5/10 |
 |
| It showed on our cinemas this day only aug 28 it was a blast its really good 10/10 |
 |
| Saw the movie earlier, and I am personally not if I'd give it a 9 or a 10. Enjoyment-wise I would have to say it's easily a 10/10, but if I consider some parts of the story being too similar to Kimi no Na wa, and plot convenience I would have to say it's not perfect. It was a great film overall and there were some tears during the confession part. Although I already saw it coming, Mitsuha and Taki's cameos were a nice cherry on top. Everyone in the theater was hyped for those scenes. |

| this contains massive spoilers read at risk what I really hate about this was nothing related to the movie. IT'S JUST THAT SOME ASSHOLE SCREAMED A SPOILER AND RAN AWAY WTF. |
| Pretty good movie. I liked the cameos by Taki and Mitsuha. Animation was superb as always, soundtrack as well. Character development could have been handled better. I would love to see more of Keisuke, Hodaka and Hina's backstories. |
| Animation was top notch no doubt The story is realistic but what I didn't like about was the near ending part when Hodaka becames edgy as f**k Overall it's good 9/10 |
| I just watch movie today with first slot of theatres, soonest airing time in my country and that made me proud. The movie Tenki no Ko (Weathering With You) made I thought this have tragedy in the end when the first time I heard the movie from Shinkai Makoto. But thanks god and author, the movie don't have it. Without TRAGEDY of main couple Tenki no Ko warning audience the pollution of enviroment overheat of the earth and etc make disaster, unusual weather... can happen in future. Weathering With You better than I expect with no tragedy with the meaning so result score.... is 10/10 |
| I got the opportunity to watch it in our theaters. And, boy oh boy, I'm in for a treat. > Shinkai's art as always breathtaking and stunning. > Taki and Mitsuha's cameo appearance got the audience giggling and screaming. > Nagi's a ladies' man. I will also call him Senpai. > A little action-type happened and the animation was consistent. Liked that. > That scene with Keisuke and Hodaka... Man, it was emotional. To the guy who gave it a 5: True, no one cried. But, we laughed, clapped, and had a fun experience. Quick edit: It literally reminded me back in 5 Centimeters per Second. But, in a good way. |

| Watched on opening night in Australian Cinemas, awesome experience. Definitely not Kimi no na wa 2 so don't ruin it by hoping it lives up to that standard. Was quite surprised by the lack of people seeing on the opening night, with the lack of people I felt like I was the only person in the cinema to realise Taki and Mitsuha but who knows, it was the second screening that day so maybe they all went to the first?? |

I already watched the movie, but i think i'm expecting a better plot of the story, i think there's a something missing piece in the story :) |
| Well, in my opinion this was kind of over hyped. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoyed the film but the movie just gave a lot of plot holes which is pretty meh. The cameos of Taki and Mitsuha are pretty nice though Mitsuha barely did a thing in her cameo |
 |
| It was okay I guess. Follows too much on the structure of Kimi no Na wa and the black screen transition is a bit overused. The cameo felt really forced too. Would have appreciated it if there wasn't too much of an emphasis on them. I also couldn't relate myself to the film which probably also affected my enjoyment of the film. The plot also reminds me of Uchiage Hanabi, which a lot of people seemed to hate. I feel like the against the world type of premise worked a lot better on that movie. In my opinion, Tenki no Ko did a lot better in developing the relationship between the main cast as well as having quirky supporting casts that complements the main characters. I'm not sure if it's just me but Hodaka's motivations to leave for Tokyo feels too ambiguous to me. I just don't get it at all. If only both of these movies managed to combine, it'd be a different story. |

| I feel like the movie are too convenient and too forced |
| Your Name cast have cameo! I love the song "Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?" Radwimps always make a good song <3 The guy's effort is on the highest level, I salute him for that.. I love the hype scene.. (when they meet) I love the aerial view animation, especially the fireworks!! overall it's good but can't help but compare it to Your Name (they have same vibe) and for me, Your Name is still the best. |
 |
| I love it! The ending was really great! For once, they chose themselves! Not sacrificing anybody for everyone. <3 |
| One VS The World. To sum up this movie shows how life is valued for every being and what it holds for each of them. The plot starts with the usual life of Tokyo, how hard it is to live by in the city with dreams. With all the twists and turns in the story, we are taken for a ride that swirls us to live up every emotion on the screen. Makoto Shinkai breaks every trend he has ever done in his films from breaking the age gap par on the characters to the breaking of what is to be destined. As they say, 'Birds of a feather , flock together', it revs up the development on the characters by pairing them up to be made as one. He also gives visage to various things that influenced him into the creation of this movie, one being the famous "Catcher in the Rye". The animation on this movie is topnotch, all those POV's and scenarios make quite the impact while the BGM hits all the right spots to tingle the sensation to the mind. To be honest this movie made me wonder how much can Shinkai improve much further to present us with such masterpieces. While watching this movie I happened to even hear people shedding tears on the actions and emotions spent out by the characters, which I've only witnessed on the Endgame movie till date. Truly an amazing movie, worth every penny. I also hope this movie does get selected for the Oscar nominations which its predecessor couldn't achieve. 10 out of 10. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I have barely managed to watch the movie exactly one day before a week hits even when I was already 10 minutes late because of the weather screwing with me just a few minutes before I started going for the cinemas, not to mention how bad it did me dirty the day before by devastating my perfectly planned schedule to atoms. My first few minutes of watching practically being a McDonald's commercial caught me off guard but I enjoyed the movie a lot. I may have a bias towards Kimi no Na Wa since that was my first Shinkai film and definitely the best one I'll be watching from him but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie in every aspect I can think of despite that. The movie might've gone really quick for me and I initially thought that it won't be very memorable but here I am 4 days later and counting recalling everything in the film despite everything else I did and been through this week~ It was awesome to see that Taki and Mitsuha were so close to each other happily living their own lives despite never getting to meet until really long after! If Your Name and Weathering with You's set in the same universe, I can't help but wonder if Shinkai's other works are like that as well since I haven't watched any of it yet. If I was in the privacy of my own home I would've teared up several times especially at the climax where they reunite with each other but I didn't except for the scene where Hina showed how severe her condition is to Hodaka in the hotel because it was that sad for me. It was a surprise to see that instead of the usual tragic loss after sharing a love like no other, they decided to choose each other first regardless of what happens to the world around them. While it's usually the rational choice to undo that whole mess, I wouldn't go as far as to force them to do that since putting me in a similar situation would've made me do the same. |
 |
| Enjoyable film overall, but it's definitely missing something that I enjoyed from Shinkai's earlier works like Byousoku 5cm or even Kotonoha no Niwa. 7/10 Anime film of the year was taken anyway. |
| Unpopular Opinion but I like this more than Kimi no Nawa. The Art was incredible 10/10 |

The visual are absolutely total perfect outstanding (I love it, can't find a word to describe lol) but the plot are pretty average. Also, I was a bit disappointed to see Taki and Mitsuha appearing in different and standalone scenes, come on, I want to see them together. 0 Actually, there are the cameo of other character from Your Name beside Taki and Mitsuha. They appear as random characters commenting on the weather. I managed to see Yotsuha, Sayaka and Katsuhiko on my first watch. |
| The only advise I have is to not think too deep into the logic. Just enjoy the story and movie as it is. I've just binge through Kimi no Nawa I saved for years and went to watch Tenki no Ko in the cinema immediately after finishing it. I've gotta say I enjoy both movies very much and just personal preference like this movie more. The know what's their upper hand that is the art, animation and music. They got full scores on them all again. I felt more bitter sweet and hollow watching Kimi no Nawa, but more heartwarming that puts a smile on my face for this movie. It's just so satisfying to watch the movie, the only way I can express my feelings. Beautiful truly. |
| It's pretty good all around for me but, just one lingering question |

Art & Visual: 11/10 Music: 9.5/10 Plot: 5.5/10 Totally agreed with this. While I absolutely love the visual and OST, the character background story and also the premise kinda meh i think. Also I feel like the male protagonist is a bit annoying eh ~ or its just me? |

| Just watched this in the theaters. Oh the song rolling in the credits is absolutely beautiful! As a matter of fact, that's actually exactly what I find Tenki no Ko to have done better than Kimi no Na Wa. The primary focus still surrounds Hodaka and Hina, but we get glimpses into the stories and struggles of the supporting characters. Suga's backstory was only touched upon lightly for the most part, but it's really adds so much more depth to the story being told. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Honestly, I don't know whether I like it more or less than Kimi no Na wa (Your Name) and I really liked Kimi no Na wa. Each of them have their ups and downs and each of them did something better than the other. For one, I really appreciated the atmosphere of Tenki no Ko. While Kimi no Na wa focused heavily on the two main protagonists, Tenki no Ko actually took some time to really flesh out the environment that the characters lived in and the people they interacted with. In addition to the fact that the weather played a huge part in the story, the background felt pushed to the foreground and that made the entire film feel more alive. Similarly, the side characters also played rather huge roles in the development of the main protagonists and that was a nice touch. Ironically, while the world felt more expansive, the story itself was far smaller in scope than Kimi no Na wa's. There was no grand plot twist or truly apocalyptic disaster that was hanging in the balance. While the stakes were smaller, they certainly felt more personal. And that brings me to the ending. I actually really loved the ending. Like, WOW. It made me realize there and then in the cinema that in this day and age, happy endings were actually subversive. Yes, the protagonist actually said screw climate change, I want my girl. Perhaps that wasn't the message, but I though it took a ton of guts to say that in this day and age. A protagonist was actually rewarded for making a selfish decision and I'm really impressed. The protagonist's agency is restored and it prevents the film from being a mouthpiece. There was no preachy save the Earth message, no moralizing, no pontificating, it was pure, unadulterated love at the expense of everyone else. And while I may get flak for this, that's how I think it should be. At the end of the day, as selfless as we try to pretend to be, it's our own self-interests that take priority over everything else. Would I let the world burn (or drown) for a loved one? You bet I would. And yes! Taki and Mitsuha are in this! I also loved the cameos of the Kimi no Na wa characters. Not sure how many people got those. And holy hell, speaking of cameos, WE HAD PRECURE CAMEOS!!! I nearly fell out of my chair. (O.0) |
