The whole 'weathering with you' is more secondary to the actual inner struggle that the MC is going through and the hardships he's been through which will resonate with many.Īrt was top notch as I said before, usual Shinkai style with amazing detailed environments and amazingly detailed character designs. A huge part of Kimi No Na Wa was the magical aspect, here you've got that, but the story is much more rooted in the characters, their interactions and relationships. What do I mean by that? I don't think I'm spoiling anything here by saying that the plot while being fantastical, is very grounded in nature. It's much more grounded and is its own unique thing involving a much more realistic narrative and a fresh MC backstory/internal struggle. I'm just referring to the storytelling method and type of story being told. That doesn't spoil anything, the endings are different, before anyone(mod) complains. This is a different type of story and film that in my opinion feels closer to 5CM per second and Garden of Words than to Kimi No Na Wa. It's just not Kimi No Na Wa 2, which I feel many people will be expecting going in and be I, however do encourage you to lower your expectations. The character designs, story, pacing, art, animation and sound are all top notch as to be expected. Looks like i'm one of the first reviews here, I'll go in the history books, lol! Well, let me start by saying Tenki no Ko is a great continuation of the form that Shinkai's been in for the past decade starting with Garden of Words. However, it is common knowledge that power always comes with a hefty price. Things begin looking up for them at first.
