During the first broadcast of Makoto Shinkai’s hit 2019 anime film Weathering with You on TV Asahi in Japan last night, Japanese fans of Pretty Cure re-ignited the love the film showed to the 2004 TV anime series with the appearance of cosplayers at a Comiket-like event in the film, with both becoming a trending topic on Japanese messaging boards.
The reasoning behind having Pretty Cure in Weathering with You comes down to just one simple point; he’s a fan.
In Weathering with You, two Pretty Cure cosplayers hire the main leads to clear the rain away for a Comiket-like event at Tokyo Big Sight so they can shine in the sunlight.
