I'm gonna watch this show and LoK until the day I take me last breath.
I could gush about this for a long time but I'll keep it short -- it's fantastic. This is going to be a word of mouth hit because there's no one who leaves it who won't want to get other people to see it.
It's been exactly 12 years since the Tôhoku earthquake and tsunami and I can hardly imagine how devastating a tragedy that has been. I can also only imagine how it would've been seeing this movie in a Japanese cinema all these years later, maybe even with ppl that were the age of Suzume when all this happened back then...
As someone not from Japan that was not involved in the catastrophe 12 years ago, this is a beautifully moving work that tries to express and process a national trauma in its own way and I think it succeeded at that. One of Shinkai's best work and very well worth a watch.
For anyone confused about where to go next - "The Final Chapters Special (1)" continues straight on from this season. It's listed as "Special 36" on Trakt.
After that, The Final Chapters Special (2) should finish off the whole show
Say what you will about this movie but ain’t no way you don’t want to see more of nana and her badassery.
The moment with the paper planes was too beautiful :) and the music matched perfectly!
Tokito’s crow is so out of pocket!
