Makoto Shinkai: “I really wanted to have the rain be more violent” in ‘Weathering With You’ for a Very, Very Real Reason
If you’ve ever cried for a comet (Your Name) or found yourself weirdly emotional about a rainy park (The Garden of Words), then you completely understand that Makoto Shinkai isn’t only making anime; he’s making feelings.
But in Weathering With You, Shinkai isn’t only trying to touch your heart. He’s trying to touch the sky. Unlike his previous dreamy romances, Weathering With You is louder, darker, and a whole lot crazier.

And that’s not only because Tokyo is literally drowning. This time, Shinkai had something big on his mind: climate change, and how the world seems to be falling apart while we’re all still just trying to live our lives. Let’s dive in.
