The story is about a boy and girl living in different areas of japan going about their daily life than to suddenly switch places is a story that is good enough to have with no reason to add more but, the story not only develops with the characters switching but there are hints as to something that is going to happen. It all ties up together if you watch closely to some of the conversations and radio, it also includes bit of time traveling but this will spoil the film which I dont want to do in this blog. The director Shinkai Makoto has made some beautiful films in the past but the stories end up being not understood, somone talked about these previous films "if you are getting board of the story just watch the animation because it's pretty." but this is not the case with this film.
Since Shinkai worked with bunch of people he was introduced to through other studio's he managed to learn how to develop a better story which is evidence in this film, as it's been shown world wide and is making a lot of money at the box office.
The animation also worked really nicely with this story, I really want to cry at how realistic everything and I would love to get to a level where my observational skills can create something as good as this.
Here are a few examples of a animation I love in the film:
To be able to create something this amazing is truly a difficult task that I would love to under take and hopefully reach in the future.
