Weathering With You also explores the myriad effects of climate change on our industrialized society, but I think its message is one of simultaneous resignedness and hope.

Age of the Geek

This Japanese anime takes the every day concept and builds a relationship between two teenagers yet to fully understand this film you need a little knowledge of Japan and its culture.

Rated: 4/5

Next Best Picture

Shinkai's technical achievement is his precision in capturing small details of urban life, with visuals so sharp that you might mistake them for a photograph at first glance. Yet there's an intensity of color in his drawings that no camera could provide.

Rated: 8/10

Despite the catastrophic and even apocalyptic climate, Shinkai makes sure his world is shimmering in radiant colors, love and humanity shining through.

The movie is pretty delocated and intertwined with Japanese culture and anectode. It also give you the atmosphere of adolescent love.

Beautiful animation and nice music. How plot works is similar to "Your Name," but it was still enjoyable.

Amazing movie! Subtitled, but still powerful and gorgeous. Loved every minute of it, and my wife agreed. I do not know if this will get a dubbed version for English speakers, but either way, highly recommended if you like these genre of movie.
