Visually stunning anime with lots of humour. The main protagonist could have used a little more character development and the plot gets convoluted towards the end. I liked the road trip feeling of the story with great music along the way butVisually stunning anime with lots of humour.

They show this handsome guy in a trailer, but in reality he gets like 5 minutes of screen time. It made me feel kind of disappointed.
The main storyline was rather childish, which is no surprise, given the characters. Not "childish", as inThey show this handsome guy in a trailer, but in reality he gets like 5 minutes of screen time. It made me feel kind of disappointed.
The main storyline was rather childish, which is no surprise, given the characters. Not "childish", as in "fairytale", but as in "made for kids". There is no drama, no love story- it is just hollow (like moving from 1 quest marker to another), filled with nice visuals. Here is a joke, here is a cute scene, here is an action sequence. Here is a picture of a landscape for 10 seconds. Yeah, we get it, you know how to paint over a photograph, and you have a huge budget. But, at the same time, we know absolutely nothing about how the main character feels, or what they think. One could replace them with a soulless robot, or a wooden stick, and almost nothing would change. Even more, some of the characters have no personality at all. They just do whatever a plot requires them to, like turning from friends to enemies and back for absolutely no reason. Nevertheless, the plot did keep me entertained till the very end. It was unpredictable, for the most part, and fun to watch.
All in all, I have mixed feelings about this one. They did put a lot of money on the table: stunning visuals (excluding those ugly 3d scenes), original music, beautiful voice acting, all sorts of ads and promo materials. But, in the end, it all comes down to the plot- and while secondary characters are amazing, I can't name a single main character who did not disappoint me.
I would never watch it for the second time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Animation, art and character designs were beautiful. I enjoyed the almost road trip like adventure Suzume went on but the story quite quickly devolved into a rather confusing mess. Expected better from Shinkai as I have enjoyed his previously works eg Weathering with you, 5 centimetres per second, both resonating with me. This movie had a half baked romance with a dodgy age gap.… Expand
