Makoto Shinkais latest movie is a bore
~~~I am going to be straight up honest from the start, I did not like this movie.
Spoiler + ramble Warning
With just over a 2 hour run time, Suzume feels like a boring mess of a movie. There is nothing of substance here, no really, I could not believe how badly written this movie was. Watching Su…

There's a few things i need to say before hand. First, i saw this movie in Japan theaters (which at the moment i think is the only place its out) so that means there are obviously no subtitles, the re…

This review contains spoilers
Suzume, Makoto Shinkai's new movie seems to take place in the same universe as his previous two movies Your Name and Weathering with you but presents itself in a different manner.
Suzume contains many more fantasy elements than Makoto Shinkai's previous works, the us…

this is Shinkai at his most Ghibli, and i mean that in the best way possible.
from the first five minutes you know that this will be a different Shinkai movie. there's no brooding male protagonists pining over potential/lost loves, barely any Radwimps needledrops, but instead it's brimming with a…

I was 12 at the time of the [Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Tōhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami).

I was disappointed in this from Shinkai. Ever since Your Name, each subsequent film has been a hollow shell of the one before it. He found a formula that worked and he really isn’t straying from it in any significant manner. This installment had all the elements of a solid piece of media but failed…

Suzume was good! It's a very weird film in a lot of ways, and has a lot going on. But it's also super entertaining and a delight to watch. It's hard to recommend. But I'll probably be seeing it again, so take that as you will!
I'm happy that it improved on all the things I thought were bad about We…

Suzume is another rollercoaster from Director Makoto Shinkai, while I found it enjoyable and didn’t regret spending money to see it in cinemas. I did notice how similar the film was to its predecessors that being, Your Name and Weathering With You. But before we get to that I would like to talk abou…

You should really try to watch this movie. It's one of the best of 2023.
The plot is Suzume and Souta closing the doors that releases a worm that causes the earthquakes in Japan. It's a road trip plot. The main thing about the movie is her getting over her troubles caused by the 2011 Tohoku Earthqu…
Read full review on AniList →Brilliant animation and sound on top of a stale, but heartwarming story
Shinkai should consider making a TV series. But it wouldn't fit the large budget he's used to working with. Suzume no Tojimari is proof that Shinkai's work is getting a little stale. The plot really dwindles here. Characters are introduced as plot devices and aren't seen again. I believe Suzume was…

_I can already tell this review will not be appreciated by many so I'm going to try to explain in as much detail as possible the reason behind this (relatively) weak score._

Just finished _Suzume_ and I'm torn over it. I'll try to best express my thoughts on it.
On one hand, this is probably the impressive animated movie I've ever seen on a technical level. There are almost no flaws from its animation, its music & mixing, editing, and cinematography. Makoto Shinkai ha…

This is gonna be a short review, I just wanted to write down how I felt about this movie, not gonna go in-depth or anything.
When I saw the trailer for this movie over a year ago I was already thinking that it looked too similar to Shinkai's previous movies. From the character design, to the pl…

In the year 2023, it is widely acknowledged that Makoto Shinkai is the most successful anime film director of the past decade. With the golden age of Studio Ghibli having come to an end, titles such as Your Name, Weathering With You, and now Suzume have come close to breaking all of Japan's box offi…

<p align= "justify">Makoto Shinkai, an anime director famous for the fantasy romance genre, also makes disaster an important story device, at least in his last three films. He presented Suzume as a tribute to the victims of the Tohoku earthquake on March 11, 2011. The film will indeed be heartwarmin…

There is a moment in Suzume no Tojimari where a teenage girl looks at a three-legged chair — her childhood companion, now inexplicably inhabited by the soul of a young man she has known for approximately forty-eight hours — and decides, without much deliberation, to follow it across the entirety of…

Suzume is a real beauty (that took too many attempts to spell right). I could not write this down in a single text, so I will split it up into categories:

- Sound Design
- OST
- Characters
- Story
- Emotions
- Objectives
This will be a ride so let's begin, by firstly writing that this re…
