There’s Something They Didn’t Tell Us About Suzume

[Peter Paltridge]

We’ve reported several times by now on Suzume, the upcoming third animated movie from Makoto Shinkai (the one behind Your Name, the most successful anime movie of all time). Details were kept vague, but the story seemed solid enough. There was one detail, however, that Sinkai was purposely leaving out. Today the newest trailer was released and we now know the truth.

I do not believe that this film will eclipse Your Name, I do not understand how the film "Demon Slayer" was able to outperform "Your name" To make it short, I think this will suuuuuck.

@KoaLa007fvl I highly disagree, I haven't seen a single bad Shinkai movie. This movie will deliver with all the hype it is harvesting. Radwimps also made the soundtrack and that alone is chef's kiss. Shinkai is the new Hayao Miyazaki.

It is not in theaters in my country so I will just wait for the crunchyroll release since I am a 1 year subscriber.
