Makoto Shinkai's new film Weathering With You is officially released! Posters released simultaneously

On December 13, Makoto Shinkai officially announced that his new film Weathering With You, written by him and directed by him, will be released in Japan in July 2019! The poster shows a girl with twin ponytails soaring into the sky, and the slogan reveals the film's information - it tells the story of "the secrets of the world that only she and I know".

The animation "Weathering with You" is set in an era of chaotic weather changes. It tells the story of a boy and a girl who are controlled by fate and "choose" their own way of survival: high school student Morishima Hodaka runs away from home and goes to Tokyo, where he meets Amano Haruna, a girl with incredible powers - she can make the weather clear by praying.

The two protagonists are voiced by Daigo Kotaro (starring in the stage play version of Yowamushi Pedal) and Mori Nana (Japanese version of Hello, No Hana). The former is voiced by Morishima Hodaka and the latter is Amano Haruna. The production company is still CoMix Wave Film (Your Name, The Garden of Words), with Masayoshi Tanaka as the character designer, Atsushi Tamura as the animation supervisor, and Hiroshi Takiguchi as the art supervisor. Genki Kawamura from Toho and Noriaki Kawaguchi from CoMix Wave Film will serve as co-producers.

The film project started in February 2017 and is currently in the drawing stage, and is expected to be completed in July 2019.
