Anime: Suzume no Tojimari

With this entry, Shinkai has achieved Miyazaki-level storytelling artistry. Previous entries seemed a little off with attempts to blend fantasy with modern technological elements. But this one went all in on the former and relegated the latter to painstakingly illustrated cityscapes, beautifully rendered trains, and realistic device UIs scattered throughout the film. The level of detail in each frame is breathtaking and what we’ve come to expect from him. A compelling adventure with a blend of romance, coming of age, comedic moments, while managing to tap into the Japanese psyche of natural disasters’ ever-presence and how life is fleeting, this is definitely Shinkai’s best work yet!

The story is compelling enough to keep one entertained, but what really stands out is the animation. Simply breathtaking.

The story does a good job of leading you on, and the visuals are fantastic. The amount of development done for this anime is over and above what is common and it's readily apparent throughout the movie itself.

Well done, they have you sitting at the edge of your seat at times, cute story.

When you read the movie description you might think; what's this thing about opening Doors? They going to look for Doors?

Well yes they're, but it's not as lame as it sounds like. There is a early "twist" that will help with the story telling, which was good in general. The animation is yet again top notch! Personally I liked this movie more then Your Name.

A recommended watch for anyone that is in for an adventure!
