Description

From Makoto Shinkai (5 Centimeters Per Second, Children Who Chase Lost Voices) comes a love story with a twist. When Takao, a young high school student who dreams of becoming a shoe designer, decides to skip school one day in favour of sketching in a rainy garden, he has no idea how much his life will change when he encounters Yukino. Older but perhaps not as much wiser, she seems adrift in the world. Despite the difference in their ages, they strike up an unusual relationship that unexpectedly continues and evolves, with random meetings in the same garden on each rainy day. But the rainy season is coming to a close, and there are so many things still left unsaid and undone between them. Will there be time left for Takao to put his feelings into actions and words? Between the raindrops, between the calms in the storm, what will blossom?

  • It was meh

    I was looking foreword to this movie but by my surprise I was actually kind of disappointed. I was hoping there would be more character development on the main female, so we could build a connection with her like we did with the guy. I also feel like there should be more relationship development, so we see why he ‘hates’ her. I ALSOOO feel that it should’ve been longer so we could get more of a glimpse of her past and so that they can fit in more character & relationship development. I would’ve love to see a bit more of his mom and their relationship. Over all to me it was not what I was expecting I went in with high high standards but it was just a meh, not to compare it but a silent voice is good and I feel if they had the same duration they could have definitely done a better job with this.
