I'll go with a mild yay. There are stretches that I found absolutely wonderful, and I enjoyed soaking it all in on a big screen, but too much of it feels like Diet Your Name (e.g. leaning in hard on those Radwimps songs in the second half), and it was clearly tossed together to capitalize on that previous film's success.

(specially the cameos from that film), I'm not sure how much it is just capitalizing on that film's success than it is Shinkai being Shinkai, since the guy does enjoy a lot exploring teen romance, unabashed outbursts of emotion, and visual cues such as shots of sunsets (with lens flare!!). And even though, it might seem familiar at times, I believe the packaging makes it a real fucking blast.

Yeah, that one is astoundingly beautiful as well, although I think it was overly ambitious in scope. Shinkai has certainly learned a lot.

EDIT: Btw, can't wait to see Weathering With You, I've been feeling nostalgic for Tokyo, as it's exactly one year since we've been there, and Shinkai's slavish attention to detail and real locations will add a completely new layer of enjoyment for me. I'm so glad we went to the stairs from Your name.
