"weathering with you"

Is "weathering with you"(Japanese:tenki no ko) worth watching in 2020

While we're all stuck at home during quarantine I thought it might be nice to give a detailed review of "weathering with you" to everyone, and also give you an idea of whether it's worth your while to watch this movie while you're stuck at home.
  Well let me start off by saying as an avid Makoto Shinkai fan and also a great fan of his movie "Your name"(Japanese:Kimi no nawa), it was a much awaited movie for me. And before I deliver my verdict on the movie, lets dive into the movies plot.

  The plot
The movie takes place mostly in Tokyo and follows a boy(Hodaka) who runs away from home to find a more exciting life in the famed city of Tokyo. However upon arriving in Tokyo, he finds out that life there isn't as easy as he thought. While he's struggling to provide for himself, he meets a girl (Hina) who works at a Macdonald's outlet who takes pity on him and provides him with a meal . As Tokyo is hit by freak weather he finds a job with keisuke, a man he meets at the beginning of the movie. While working for keisuke he meets Hina once again and finds out that she can manipulate weather. The plot then follows the adventures of Hodaka, Hina and Hina's brother Nagisa. I won't delve deeper into the plot because you should have the opportunity to find out the rest of the plot yourself.
 The characters
The movie revolves around a few main characters:

  • Hodaka:A runaway who seeks a more exciting life in Tokyo
  • Hina:A cheerful girl who can manipulate the weather
  • Nagisa:Hina's brother
  • Keisuke:A man who owns a writing agency that hires Hodaka
While more characters appear throughout the movie these are the some of the characters that take centre stage in the movie.
  Moving on to the character design; all the characters have been designed beautifully in a manner that would appeal to a wide audience. The artsyle has been executed well and the whole movie is animated amazingly. I really was amazed at the art directory of the movie and found the animation to be breathtaking.
  The verdict
 All in all "weathering with you" is a movie with a captivating plot and great credentials. I mean a movie directed by Makoto Shinkai obviously shoots to the top of the must watch list. And this movie doesn't disappoint; it's got beautiful art directory and an overall feel that just screams "Makoto shinkai" and "your name". But that's where it falls a little short for me. As someone who enjoyed watching "your name" (Japanese: Kimi no nawa) so much it probably wasn't fair for me to expect this movie to match the standard of "your name". But the truth is it came incredibly close. Which is why my verdict for this movie is that it's actually a must watch. I really enjoyed it and you probably will too, and if you haven't watched "your name" go ahead and watch it now. It's one of the best movies I've watched; anime or not , and will definitely be immensely satisfying to watch.
 Well that's my verdict for "weathering with you" ; it's a beautiful movie that everyone in a family can enjoy, so I can say for certain that it definitely is a movie that's worth watching in 2020 , especially in quarantine. So please go ahead,watch it and enjoy.
