In such a color as if it were a silent love
Or as if it were a summer rolling down a cheek
I've got a curse word for you stuck in the back of my throat
It is the unvoiced voice that says
"We'll see each other again, won't we?"
Original Weathering With You anime character designs of Masayoshi Tanaka, animation direction by Atsushi Tamura, produced by Makoto Shinkai.

Finished watching Suzume for the 2nd time after watching it in theaters back in April. I can now say which order Iike Makoto Shinkai's major films:
Kimi no na Wa (Your Name) 2016
It has stunning visuals for being a 2016 film. Based on romance through time caused by a natural disaster was an interesting concept. I remember the asian kids in my college anime club pirating it and we all watched it. The end of the film made me so mad but when I rewatched it a couple years later a lot made more sense and I grew to love the film.
2. Suzume no Tojimari (Suzume) 2022
Much like Shinkai's first film, it is once again a time travel brought on by a natural disaster with romance but not it's main focus. It was my first Shinkai film I saw in theaters and I loved it! The visuals have improved a lot and the voice acting was great with a cast having first time major roles in film.
3. Tenki no Ko (Weathering with you) 2019
More of a coming of age-young romance brought on by supernatural weather rather than time travel, Tenki no Ko was a great film. But after watching the first film and Suzume, I think this is one of Shinkai's weaker films. I think it was trying to be like Kimi no na Wa with the younger cast and a disaster bringing the two main characters together.
Overall, Makoto Shinkai is still my favorite director. I've loved his other works like Garden of Words, She and Her Cat, Children Who Chase Lost Voices, and 5 Centimeters Per Second. I'm looking forward to his next major film and hopefully he'll bring something new to the table.

every day I watch Makoto Shinkai movies and every day I am reminded of the inevitable love we find in life regardless of the inherent tragedy there is in living. I love living and remembering and being alive.
