A runaway boy from an island and a city girl, who has the ability to change rain to sunshine, join forces in Weathering With You, Makoto Shinkai’s long-awaited anime follow-up to his 2017 ‘Your Name’.
Language: Japanese, subtitles: English
The summer of his high school freshman year, Hodaka runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to foreshadow his future. He lives his days in isolation but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hodaka meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strong-willed girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop rain and clear the sky.
