His signature metaphorical use of trains, the idea of a hopeless and distant love, and beautiful scenery really dive you emotionally into the story, even for how generic and simple it may seem.

The film holds true to all the expectations of a Makoto Shinkai production, from heartfelt smiles to crying the 5th time within the last 30 minutes. I'll try to keep my review as spoiler-less as possible. The shirts are priced at 1,500 yen (US$14) each and go on sale July 15, four days before Weathering with You’s July 19 premiere.I watched this film at Anime Expo 2016 Los Angeles. The new anime’s artistic tee bears the towering cloud masses and mysterious dragon-like silhouettes from the movie’s poster.Īnd last, if you prefer your anime T-shirts to be cute instead of dramatic, this understated black-and-white design has Weathering with You’s presently name-unknown stray cat peeking out from its pocket. Shinkai has always loved crating breathtaking skyscapes, and that’s something he’s going to be able to do to his heart’s content in the aerial-related narrative of Weathering with You. …and finally this dramatic, monochromatic moment. … a memo asking “Who are you?”, just like in the body-swapping film… In addition to the emotional moment between Your Name’s Taki and Mitsuha shown above, there’s also a subtle design featuring the fate-entwining red string that metaphorically connects them (and runs right across the wearer’s heart)… There’s a 4-3 shirt split between Shinkai’s last and upcoming works. It turns out the company was actually sitting on a big secret: it’s first-ever collaboration with Makato Shinkai, director of smash-hit anime film Your Name, as well as upcoming theatrical anime Weathering with You. Was Uniqlo planning to leave July as a blank spot on its new-release calendar, with no new anime-themed apparel?

We can understand the chain wanting to give its now-in-stores Pokémon shirts some time with the spotlight all to themselves, but those went on sale in June. See, the Sailor Moon shirts are scheduled to start arriving in Uniqlo branches in late August. But while the news had us clapping our hands in joy, the release date had us scratching our heads. Just yesterday we found out that Uniqlo is bringing out a lineup of beautiful Sailor Moon-themed T-shirts. Shirts will be in stores just before the opening of Shinkai’s newest anime movie, Weathering with You.
