weathering with you (2020)
“a man’s heart is linked to the sky”
weathering with you follows the story of hodoka, a teenager running away from his home on an island and finding himself trying to survive in a rainy tokyo. he crosses path with suga, a writer for a kind of a paranormal magazine. he also meets natsumi, suga’s little sister. they will discover the secret behind hina, an orphaned girl able to change the weather.
almost everything about this movie was amazing. the animation was simply breathtaking, wether it was the rain falling down, or places and characters. the plot was good, but sometimes seemed a bit weird, such as the guns scenes and such... one thing i didn’t enjoy very much was the music: i thought it was a bit too much and too loud during some scenes, and didn’t really go along the movie.
i really loved hina and hodoka, and their story: it was touching and beautiful. i also liked the fact that the less important characters were very well developped as well: especially thinking about natsumi, whom i loved!
one thing i was a bit disappointed about was the ending: i was expecting for more, it just felt botched.
