Suzume no Tojimari

Your Name and Weathering With You achieved what no other anime film could ever do.

During a press conference in Tokyo, Makoto Shinkai revealed his new adventure and fantasy film Suzume no Tojimari, slated for a fall 2022 release.

The visual features an abandoned door, standing in water in the center of ruins, referring to the film’s central theme, ‘closing doors.’

The story will follow a 17-year-old girl named Suzume who meets a young man searching for a mysterious door.

Intrigued by this, Suzume helps him, and they find a stranded door in the ruins of a mountain. What they didn’t know was that behind it were several disasters from another world.

So I think the upcoming movie will have the same romantic-comedy theme that starts wholesome but gradually takes us on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

I just know that this film will also gently take my heart, play with it, and then crush it while breaking it into a billion pieces, as Shinkai’s films always do that to you.
