Written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, Weathering With You follows young runaway Hadaka, who flees to Tokyo to start a new life. There he meets and befriends Hina, a young girl with the power to control the weather. As well as stunning imagery, and likeable characters, the film features a memorable soundtrack by the band RADWIMPS who composed the music for Shinkai’s earlier, and hugely successful film, Your Name.
Weathering With You won both Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Music in 2020.
Weathering with you puts across a really powerful message about the weather/current world and Tokyo, linked by the sunshine girl. The art and, animation in this film is amazing, and it’s 100% in my top favourite three anime movies. The characters are brilliant. Everything is just so well thought out. I definitely recommend this movie because it’s one amazing piece of filmmaking!!

Playing Together/Hamkke Noneun
Playing Together/Hamkke Noneun, our Korean + anime season emerged out of a conversation which took place during our Japan Season last year, and has involved the work of a large team of community volunteers. The youngest member of our group is only 15. All the team members have made a contribution and helped to deliver the final programme; some were active at different stages of the process.
