At last, fans were able to watch Weathering With You in theaters after the Makoto Shinkai film began its limited run.

Over on Twitter, fans were not shy to share their thoughts on the film. You can find aa sample of those reactions below, and they will leave you a bit overwhelmed. Shinkai’s film is one that has only drawn praise, and it is not because of the the director’s reputation.
For those who saw Your Name a few years back, Shinkai directed the huge hit to boot. Today, the movie stands as the top-grossing anime feature globally, but Weathering With You wants to give it a run for its (literal) money.
The box office totals for this new film are not out yet, but the reactions from fans speak louder than anything else. The movie is a clear hit with fans praising Shinkai’s vision and artistry. The gorgeous movie is just as fulfilling as any live-action darling, and many viewers are going so far as to rank Weathering With You amongst their favorite movies of 2019 if not the last decade.

Makoto Shinkai directed and wrote Weathering With You with GKIDS describing it as such: “The summer of his high school freshman year, Hokoda runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo, and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to suggest his future. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hokoda meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strongยญwilled girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky…”

An Instant Classic
Saw Weathering With You and once again Makoto Shinkai created a freaking ๐ถ๐ช๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ. It was so damn good, from the stunning visuals to the absolutely incredible music, it was just as good if not better than Your Name. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. pic.twitter.com/7sY9054XRq

An Absolute Standout
Shinkai fucking did it again. Weathering With You is a beautiful movie that had me crying in the theater. It’s not the next Your Name, because it’s beauty and merits stands on its own. pic.twitter.com/xKObkZLqdO
