O Tempo com Você

Living in a country that are constantly hit by all kinds of disasters, Japanese people are more sensitive to natural disaster related topics than most other countries. Shinkai Makoto aptly captured this sentiment and made this heartfelt movie. Blue sky (aozora) is what everyone's heart desires when it kept raining and raining in Tokyo. However, there is a price to pay to get the sunshine back ... Now with global warming getting increasing worse, people all over the world are dealing with all kinds of unusual weathers. This movie thus does not resonate with the Japanese, but also with me as an American. There is a strong message there, and the ending is ... I cannot spoil too much here. In any case, don't just take it as a teenager love story. And needless to say, Shinkai Makoto's graphics is as breathtaking as ever. I like the songs as well. I am glad that we can see it in American movie theaters next year. Thank you GKIDS!

I'm interested in this movie because of shinkai's previous works, and I think considering his last movie's success, many people also feels that way, so it's very hard to not comparing shinkai's next work with "your name". I'll start with the animation and visualization in this anime, it's better than "your name", and it captures the metropolitan culture of tokyo's Japanese people very well, though i miss the depiction of japan traditional culture and rural area in this movie. About the music, they have similar aura with "your name", moving moments in the movie are captured brilliantly with the music. Storywise though, "your name" was a better love story than this movie, and "your name" made more sense than this movie. It is still a very good movie though, but I think it won't top "your name" success.. I hope shinkai will make many more good movie after this, and with this much of quality, I think many people would still want to watch his future projects.. I know I would.

I can't help but suspect that writer/director Makoto Shinkai did make this movie because he thought he had an interesting story but simply because he wanted to play with rain animations.

I'm okay with that. The animation is stunning, and no one is quite so good as taking something as simple as drops in a puddle and creating a gorgeous symphony as Shinkai.

All the same, a story would have been nice and there really isn't much of one here, nor does what exists make any particular sense. But the characters are charming, the movie is funny and touching, and while it's no "Your Name" it is Shinkai's third best film (Garden of Words is 2nd).

Well worth watching.

One of the best experiences I ever had! So glad I got to see in the theater today. The soundtrack is incredible, the sounds are ambient, story is spectacularly immersive and beautiful! A truly heartwarming film about unorthodox weather, romance and a bit of suspense. I love everything about Weathering with you, I was captivated throughout although I barely watch anime now I wanna see more. I wanna own the movie when available; well worth the 17 dollars. Also my 750th review!

This movie is still great. Smooth animation with great art direction, relatable characters, and even some fun parts too. The plot still runs smoothly, and has a nice flow to it. But when it comes to comparing to Kimi No Na Wa, director Shinkai's last movie... This movie doesn't quite add up to the qualities that Kimi has. The plot is less complex compared to Kimi, because it only happens in one timeline. The emotional impact is also felt less. The story still has a hidden message about extreme weather, but I still can't spoil too much, so here's the conclusion: Just don't expect you are watching another Kimi No Na Wa movie. So think as it were a teenage love story. Still a great tho.
