Weathering with You (2019)

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

Despite these movies having similar moral philosophies and plot points, I think Rebellion is more popular with the Kawoshin shippers in the NGE fandom whereas WWY is more loved by the Shinji/Rei fans, me being one of them. Both Kaworu and Homura go through time loops for the person they love and while interesting pairings, they’re toxic yaoi/yuri and there’s an unhealthy aspect to them their fans often refuse to acknowledge.

As for WWY, despite having a similar name to Homura, Hodaka is more like Shinji as a character and while quite different personality wise, Hina does have some things in common with Rei. I know a lot of people hate Reishin because it’s viewed as incest or queer erasure but it’s not a bad pairing and can be really emotional. The Grand Escape moment of WWY is basically a happier version of 2.22’s ending. Neither Reishin or Hodaka/Hina is a perfect love story but that’s okay as a ship doesn’t need to be perfect to be loved.

WWY is very underrated as well in my opinion. Perhaps because it’s concept is less interesting than Your Name’s body swapping or Suzume’s guy turning into a chair, but it’s really good and is sort of the forgotten middle child of the trilogy.

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before.....Thanks....

Oh shit!! No I have never been asked this (you're like my fifth ask ever) so I am very grateful for a chance to share!

Alright, so favorites? It'll probs be for a million diff reasons; the characters will have shaped me/my perspective on things in life bc I'm never a fan of things I don't find meaningful. But I want to make sure this list is based on the actual character and not just scenes/the media itself resonating with me. I chose these characters BC of who they are, their choices, their feelings...

Kaneki Ken

Hideyoshi Nagachika

Biaggio (The Kings of Summer)

Effy Stonem (Skins UK)

Samwise Gamgee the Brave (LOTR)

Armin Arlert

Arya Stark (GoT)

Light Yagami

Edward Elric

Hodaka Morishima (Weathering With You)

I don't think I can put it in any specific order bc I love them all for so many different ways, but here's my lil explanations...

Kaneki: Tokyo Ghoul was one of my first anime/manga, and will always hold a spot in my heart for that reason. Kaneki I love specifically bc of his character development. I'll say it now and I will say it again: character development is one of the biggest things for me. I want to be able to look at a character on the first episode and then at the finale of the show and I want to see two completely different people. That's what we got with Kaneki, but also him as a person; I personally connect with his reserved life and his complications around being a good person vs living for yourself and whatnot. We also will never get tired of a psychological break + white hair I mean, c'mon. The anime did the manga dirty 100% so if you're reading this and thinking Kaneki is shit I really do reccomend the manga; it truly shows the depth of his kindness, his trauma and his strength. Love that for him.

Hide: Fucking ray of sunshine sunflower boy my love. Anyways, I will always appreciate a subtly hyper-aware character. His nonchalance and lightheartedness wasn't a show or anything, but it was intentionally to relax the mood of the people around him all the while taking specific note of the things happening/his surroundings. Plus his dedication to the person he loves; I enjoyed that it wasn't an obvious and intense depiction (although it sucked he got so little screentime) but I do think he's intentionally shown to be someone who doesn't need to make a show of their love or dedication. Hide was in it till the end, and he didn't ever stop to get acknowledgment for that. He didn't need to BC that's just who he was and I love him for that.

Biaggio: The Kings of Summer (2013) is a movie that I grew up rewatching, it's amazing and reccomend it 1000% but my fave character is literally the side character (not the protagonist or even the second main character he's genuinely just there.) He is magnificent. This is partly a comedy movie and Biaggio is one of my favorite versions of comedy, the kind where he is clueless and absolutely on the spectrum, so fucking wholesome deadass funny and badass (I don't want to give spoilers but mans went head to head with a rattlesnake for a friend) and he's even more important to me BC my best friend and I had a special saying from the movie that we used for like personal and meaningful reference. Even going to get the line tattooed on my thigh. "Biaggio's right here." Yes. I'm getting that tattooed. And ik I'm not supposed to hype the media just the character but this movie also has one of my favorite lines in the world that I also want to figure into a tattoo. "I have no idea where he's getting the chives." (Yes, they're talking about Biaggio).

Effy: Skins UK is also one of the shows of my youth. Effy Stonem... When I first watched it she was everything I wanted to be, which, if you know Skins is a real fucking problem. My love for her used to be kinda toxic but my mental health at the time when I zeroed in on her as a character wasn't great. That being said, she probably means more to me BC of that. Her personally; her aesthetic and the way she really did not give a shit about things, but also the way it was obvious she wanted people to know she didn't give a shit, the way she sometimes cracked and asked for help, I loved the way she looked like she was unbreakable even while looking like a fucking mess. Then she turned out to be mentally ill and I resonated even more but not in a good way. I thought ab her over the years on and off, she was also smthn that fueled my ED so when things were bad my headspace was around there. Then the final season she was still a mess, but she was an adult and she was getting her shit done and making the most of her days. I started taking inspiration from that Effy. Got some character development of my own :)

Sam: Lord of the rings is smthn I grew up on (am I gonna repeat this every time...) my fam would watch the 12hr extended edition every Christmas. My main man is Samwise the fucking Brave. This man dedicated his heart and soul to his best friend. He was a dimensional character it wasn't just plain devotion; he saw the potential in frodo when he didn't himself and Sam just reminds me of support systems in general. Also my relationship with my own best friend. I'll never forget the way he cried, the way his heart was in it for a friend. He was strong yet he thought so little of himself. He's someone I can reference when I think of the fact that there are a billion different ways to be strong. And an infinite amount of ways to show love. I'm grateful for that.

Armin: Armin was my fave AOT character from the jump and still is. I saw his potential the moment those babyblues crouched over that mf book and that dumbass bowl cut hovered over the pages. I love him. He's smart, will go all the way for his friends, even if it's detrimental to himself. He grew up, well, is still growing up, and he's pretty much been forced to become confident in himself BC he's aware there's too much on the line not to be. I enjoyed that Armin as a person had those powerful qualities from the start, I enjoyed even more having them knocked out of him and put to use like cracking open an acorn shell.

Also just fucking baby non-binary twink whore baby

Arya: Arya. ARYA. I binged all of Game of Thrones like last year, I was never into the show when it was airing it was just kinda a thing. I tried reading the first book and enjoyed it but decided I just wanted to watch. So, when I start this shit, even when reading I fuckin loved Arya. Tomboy badass who won't take no for an answer and won't say yes if she doesn't mean it. The fact that from the begginging she was my fave, this little girl with trauma and determination (we seeing a trend here?) I will always appreciate that they made her wholeheartedly devoted to her revenge. No half-measures, no room for what everyone thinks should come with revenge; dissatisfaction. She was oh so very satisfied. I love characters that aren't good or bad, just people that believe in their reasons enough to devote themselves to them. And then of all fucking things, the goddamn finale she is the one who saves the world?! My girl, who I knew from the moment she appeared would do great things... Saved everybody's ass. So her.

Light: Okay now death note was actually like the second anime I ever watched and in those days (a decade or so ago) it was even more team L or team Light that it is now, it had it's own fucking Edward/Jacob twilight energy. Anyways I dedicated myself to team Light BC I rationalized his side in the begginging. The best part ab rewatching a show is seeing things in new light. At first he was badass and smart, next watch I realized he was pissboy. Even so, I fucking love him. I love that he's crazy and evil and delusional and has a god complex the size of the fucking Library of Alexandria. I like bad people, I do. I wouldn't irl but I find fictional media is a beautiful way to appreciate the ideal of things rather than the implications of them. So yes, Light lowered the goddamn crime rate and he had a great thing going. I wanna be Misa so bad, they'd have ruled the fucking world, if it weren't for L and those meddling kids.

Edward: Ed, my love. So FMAB was my first ever ever ever anime and my eternal genuine favorite. Edward, aside from the immense familial dedication and love, just really made me smile. I liked seeing his abrasiveness holding hands with his kindness. He made me personally invested in him too?? Idk why there's one scene where he saves/does something but ends up with a metal pole through his side under some rubble and yeah they get him out and it's fine but they didn't really acknowledge it and idk I remember constantly wondering why they didn't acknowledge how far Ed just went or how far he fucking goes to help people. I also love the mecha limbs aesthetic. Can't say no to that cyborg energy.

Hodaka: Weathering With You (2019) is probs my fave anime movie if I really think about it. Hodaka, I truly love BC his actions showed the purity of wanting someone you love to be safe by your side. He took notice of things that were beautiful, like in the way he was in awe of a home cooked meal. He wasn't afraid to yell or cry or push himself to the limit, if it meant protecting the people he loved. I liked that he's a "kid" but the whole time shows his maturity BC all these heavy things were thrown his way. He's dumb sometimes, whiny and essentially unrealistic.

Unrealistic. That's what you say when you've lost the determination to hope. To know and to try anyways. He never lost those things, and we could all take a lesson from him on that one.

~

So there's my silly little (Jesus it's so long) list of the silly little loves of my life. I know I'm gonna end up remembering someone at some point and wishing I had put them here but that's just the dumb bitch juice I had with breakfast talking.

Hope you enjoyed!! Y'all feel free to drop your faves and reasons in the replies!! Inbox always always open, and thank you so fucking much for sending this my way!! ❤️❤️❤️

so maybe a year ago I watched the movie weathering with you and I have some conflicting feelings about it. lots of people have been criticising the supposed message of the story as bad because apparently the protagonists let tokyo sink under water for some silly teenage love, and I have a few objections on this reading. 

although I have to agree, it is quite silly when you weigh up the costs and benefits. one girl to keep a city from submerging under water. its quite obvious which one someone might logically choose right? yet the film chooses the former. this makes it very easy for someone to brush off weathering with you as a nonsensical feel-good film, but honestly it’s more complex than that. I think that really what Shinkai was aiming for was for the viewer to recognise that hodaka and hina’s motivation was silly, but also for the viewer to question themselves and realise that this practical and profit-orientated perception rather sadistic, similar to how individual people are often forgotten in the grand scheme of the world. 

but on the flip side, I also like that Shinkai doesn’t present love as a magical power that fixes everything either, because it doesn't. while hodaka and hina manage to stay together, their choice leaves tokyo to sink under the oceans, but neither does shinkai present this as anything catastrophic. instead, keisuke was shown as much more successful at the close of the film despite the rain, while taki’s grandmother was shown to be quite at peace with the changes. 

the film asks the viewer; why must hina be sacrificed? she’d never done anything wrong in her life and except receiving both the blessing and curse of a sunshine girl. it challenges the viewer to question their own mentality, and also kind of criticises the cold and harsh mentality that so many people adopt as they grow older.

Enjoyed Weathering with You and the cameos of Mitsuha and Taki from Your Name.

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

My favorite used to be Suzume but now it’s WWY. It’s kind of the forgotten middle child of the Disaster trilogy but is so good. Hodaka and Hina’s bond felt the most developed out of the three and is really emotional. It’s not an climate skepticism story as much as it’s a commentary on the burden older generations put on young people who have to constantly sacrifice their happiness for fixing the world. How it’s not fair to just put expectations on one person especially a 16 year old girl who has a whole life ahead of her and has been nothing but selfless. Hodaka and Hina deserved a happy ending and I’m glad they got one.

hot take of the day weathering with you is the best makoto shinkai movie ever

May be overthinking this but do all 16 year old boys have the same fashion sense?

❀ My thoughts on Weathering With You.

🌧️ Since watching Weathering With You, the story was not only beautiful but a tab bit sad how it all went when bringing Hina down back from the sky would risk making the rain last forever without fulfilling her chosen sacrifice as a weather maiden… But, I like to think… Ever since Hodaka chased Hina up to the sky and brought her back down, they both created a new hope and became linked…

☀️ Their love for one another was strong enough to tie them together as soulmates and once they wed to become official then the rain will finally stop and bring sunshine to Tokyo again. Showing how powerful and beautiful love really is to change fate.
