MyAnimeList.net describes Weathering With You as follows:
The summer of his high school freshman year, Hodaka runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo, and quickly finds himself pushed to his financial and personal limits. The weather is unusually gloomy and rainy every day, as if to suggest his future. He lives his days in isolation, but finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, Hodaka meets Hina on a busy street corner. This bright and strong-willed girl possesses a strange and wonderful ability: the power to stop the rain and clear the sky…
So far, the film has garnered an 8.62 mean score (out of 10) on MyAnimeList.net. The film has made about $126 million in Japan, which has earned it the title of being the 7th highest-grossing domestic film of all-time in Japan and the highest-grossing film in Japan this year.
