This is important because Weathering With You is equally about Tokyo as it is about the romance that buds between protagonists Hodaka and Hina. Throughout the film, I felt like I was there with the characters, in the cold, wet and miserable rain. Umbrellas get shaken out by crowds, and streams of droplets fall on the window panes as city-goers trud through mud and wet pavements with their rubber boots. Even when much of the city is overcast with cloudy skies, there are enough details to carry over the presence of a rainy day. Shinkai takes great care to paint the setting in every visceral stroke possible, whether it’s from the muted honks of cars zooming through the tight lanes between skyscrapers, the nonstop chatter of adults in cafes and shopping districts, or the absolutely overwhelming clutter of signs and lights in local shops and menus: Tokyo feels alive, real, and as much a part of the film as the actual characters.
Gkids has racked up 11 Best Animated Feature Oscar noms since 2010, including Mirai this past year and two in 2015 with Boy in the World and When Marnie Was There. It also handles the Studio Ghibli catalog that incudes Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. The Weathering with You deal was negotiated by Gkids CEO Eric Beckman and Akihiro Takeda for Toho, which handled international rights.Play One of Weathering With You’s greatest strengths is the weight of Tokyo’s identity.
Weathering with You combines Shinkai’s unparalleled visually beautiful and detailed animation with a riveting emotional story that will be sure to connect with audiences worldwide.” “We have been huge fans of Makoto Shinkai since his breathtaking 5 Centimeters Per Second, and he is unquestionably one of the top animation filmmakers working today. “Gkids is thrilled to be working with Makoto Shinkai and Genki Kawamura on Weathering with You, following their blockbuster hit Your Name,” company founder and CEO Eric Beckman said.
