Suzume

The Basement Binge

Suzume | Animation Hall of Fav Volume 3

Makoto Shinkai is a director whose work I have come to love. It is hard to explain the excitement a new release from him brings me. But I was nervous after my disappointment with Weathering With you I didn't want to be let down again. So I went in with caution, and that caution was quickly forgotten as I was amazed by this film.

Suzume is a real depiction of our collective emotional vulnerabilities even if we don't want to admit it. We are feeling the changes of the world and want to preserve all that is good. Suzume tackles those feeling with it's amazing characters and story, with beautiful animation and an incredibly talented voice cast.

In short - I loved it.
