You're probably the first person to set the context of it being a trilogy, which basically eliminates the criticism of the films being too similar or the accusation of copying your name all over again. Seeing them as a theme with different character plots really makes sense!

Thank you for the comment! Yeah, one of the reasons why I made the video was because I wanted to give a different perspective on these films that didn't involve the misconception that Shinkai basically makes the same film over and over again - which I think is a bit of an unfair assumption to make (and this is coming from someone who wasn't even the biggest Shinkai fan before making the video). I don't think this video will dispel that narrative entirely, but I hope it changes how some people view and talk about them in a way that's more productive than saying "it's like Your Name but not as good".

Suzume 100% doesn’t copy Your Name at all. It’s amazing and stands super well on its own. I think Weathering With you is just slightly guilty of it though, but I overall have different issues with Weathering With You that make it kinda mediocre in my opinion

I haven't seen Weathering with You, but Your Name and Suzume are genuinely some of my favorite movies. There are very few movies that make me cry because of their pure unfiltered beauty, but these ones got me. I never connected the dots between the two and didn't even realize they were made by the same person/people. I also didn't know about the real world connection to Tohoku. I didn't even know that tragedy happened. Thank you so much for informing me (and I'm sure others) about this tragic event and how, somehow, something beautiful still came out of it.

That's interesting. I'm curious as to why you thought it was clickbait. Maybe using the word "disaster" gives the impression that these films were terrible and I was going to tear them to shreds but got something else instead?

While I was watching i really thought this was an incredibly popular channel, cue my surprise at seeing this only had 30 likes! This sense that the films are interconnected was the prime selling point for me when my friend convinced me to watch them, and i believe it greatly influenced my watching experience against someone's who didn't know. After the movie marathon I kept getting this sense that yes, they were connected in a way that's not in the actual narrative unlike what my friend insisted, but I was never able to articulate that point. You, on the other hand, were able to expand on that idea beautifully. Your arguments were more than what I was expecting (including the edition note lol) and everything finally truly made sense. Your scripting is phenomenal and the editing was also great. Many kudos to you!!!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad my video gave you a better understanding of these films!

It's even further connected but less so with Garden of Words. The teacher talking about twilight is the same one who said she was "moving back home".

Admittedly, I didn't actually catch that until after making this video - and I had watched Your Name 4 times at that point! Still, it's a great detail/cameo, though.

There's another detail aswell, the NTT Docomo Yoyogi Building from Garden of Words also appears in Weathering With You, and carries on the rain motif pretty directly from that movie.

I have always hated the romance genre in movies….watching these 3 i have learnt to appreciate this genre…..

Glad they were able to change your perspective of the genre!

I think Suzume is a little overrated considering the fact that they started comparing it to your name. it’s ok comparison because your name has many errors during the narration, but the story is much better than "suzume" ( the suzume one seemed a little empty, very different from the Shinkai movies that often have twists and turns like your name in which you discover the time lapse). wheatering with you instead seemed underrated by many, has much less mistakes than your name and has a much more intriguing story than that of suzume( the only thing I didn’t like was the gun inserted in the story without sense and the lack of explanation of the past of the protagonists) to make me understand I think we all wanted to know why Hodaka ran away from home...

You forgot about the star wars trilogy, the god father trilogy, back to the future trilogy

It's not like I forgot about them, I fully intended to include them in the video, but since I had the deadline of getting the video done by the end of the month, time was not on my side. I do agree that giving those trilogies even a brief mention would've helped because they are all great.

I actually didn't like suzume that much rest were awesome
