Weathering with You (天気の子, Tenki no Ko, lit. "Child of Weather") is a 2019 fantasy and romantic drama anime film by Makoto Shinkai, his seventh major production. Its soundtrack is by RADWIMPS. It is animated by CoMix Wave Films and distributed by Toho.
The summer of his high school freshman year, Hodaka Morishima (Kotaro Daigo, Brandon Engman) flees his remote island home for Tokyo, which he finds smothered by rain and not as glamorous as he had been hoping. Soon left broke by the endeavour, he reluctantly accepts an offer from shady Keisuke Suga (Shun Oguri, Lee Pace) to ghostwrite for paranormal tabloids in exchange for bed and board. While investigating a legend of the sunshine girl that can bring back the sun, he finds her in the person of recently-orphaned Hina Amano (Nana Mori, Ashley Boettcher). Together with her younger brother Nagisa (Sakura Kiryu, Emeka Guindo), they attempt to make a living by monetizing her power, but soon find the consequences of doing so nipping at their heels.
