The greatest anime movie of all time officially returns to theaters in 3 weeks

Every Makoto Shinkai film focuses on fated encounters. Takaki is haunted by Akari after their love is torn apart by distance in 5 Centimeters per Second (2007). Similarly, Hodaka and Hina’s relationship is repeatedly tested by fate in Weathering with You (2019). Fate also plays a seminal role in Suzume (2022), in which Suzume and Souta must leverage their deep bond to prevent catastrophes from occurring across Japan.
