But ultimately, the biggest problem that Weathering With You has is this: it’s the follow up to Your Name.
When Weathering With You is compared to Your Name, it reveals more of the latest film’s weaknesses.
While the supernatural elements in Your Name feel organic, the supernatural elements in Weathering With You, especially later in the film, do not.
But unlike Your Name, in which Tokyo was a chic city with fashionable streets and delicious food, the Tokyo of Weathering With You is filled dingy streets, rusted staircases, old love hotels and shady characters.
