WEATHERING WITH YOU (12)
IN THIS visually arresting meteorological fantasy, high school student Hodaka Morishima (voiced by Kotaro Daigo) runs away from home to seek his fortune in Tokyo. Writer Keisuke Suga (Shun Oguri) offers Hodaka a job on his occult magazine and the teenager learns to chase down a story by shadowing college student Natsumi (Tsubasa Honda). She is fascinated by rumours of Sunshine Girls, who can manipulate the weather and banish storm clouds that hang perpetually over the city. A tip-off leads Hodaka to a girl called Hina Amano (Nana Mori), who demonstrates the ability to usher sunshine for a few hours through concentrated prayer.
