this movie was expectedly underwhelming. The visuals were amazing and the music was great, but that did nothing to save the confusing, hole filled plot. the main character, suzume, was your typical highschool girl. and the guy just looked like a knockoff howl.

the side characters suzume crossed paths with didnt really have an impact to the main story and just felt like checkpoints. and the romance felt uncomfortable and forced. i didnt feel any chemistry between the two main characters and how the second half of the movie was driven by suzume’s love for this stranger she meets on a whim feels forced.

this was ... probably more of a dub problem (yes i watched the dub im sorry i didnt buy the tickets😞), but the cat was so insufferable. it sounded annoying, and i could not understand it’s motivation at all. they tried to sprinkle in some family angst and trauma, but (spoiler warning) the part where suzume yells at her aunt about how she feels isolated was so random and uncalled for. there was no indication at the start or anywhere throughout the movie that she felt isolated by her aunt, or that her aunt was too protective of her. it was a sudden outburst, it tried to be an emotional scene but i couldnt get into the feels at all. (spoilers end)

Honestly I didnt even plan to watch the movie to begin with, but had some free time when my family went to watch other movie and decided to pick something in the same timeslot at random.
If you’re planning on watching the movie, dont expect anything amazing other than the visuals (tho at some moments the cgi made it feel a little unalive and flat..)
i feel theyre trying really hard to make another hit like “Your Name”, but they havent made anything as significant since the release of it.
