- Your Name (2016), Weathering with You (2019), and Suzume (2022); these are the three most recent films from writer and director Makoto Shinkai. After a career that spans over 25 years, these three films firmly secured Shinkai’s status as one of the most important figures working in the anime industry today, with all three films being among the top ten highest grossing Japanese films worldwide. The main reason for that is because they’re all great films, but, what if I were to tell you that there was another reason for their success. That reason is that they are all part of a trilogy, specifically a thematic trilogy.
In this video, I will be breaking down the trilogy in the hopes of understanding why they became some of the most successful anime films in recent memory. These are the films that make up Makoto Shinkai's Disaster Trilogy.

I haven't seen Weathering with You, but Your Name and Suzume are genuinely some of my favorite movies. There are very few movies that make me cry because of their pure unfiltered beauty, but these ones got me. I never connected the dots between the two and didn't even realize they were made by the same person/people.
I also didn't know about the real world connection to Tohoku. I didn't even know that tragedy happened. Thank you so much for informing me (and I'm sure others) about this tragic event and how, somehow, something beautiful still came out of it.
i got clickbaited with the title lol
That's interesting. I'm curious as to why you thought it was clickbait. Maybe using the word "disaster" gives the impression that these films were terrible and I was going to tear them to shreds but got something else instead?
Exactly.
Me too
@@IrishAnimeFan exactly what I was expecting lol

You're probably the first person to set the context of it being a trilogy, which basically eliminates the criticism of the films being too similar or the accusation of copying your name all over again. Seeing them as a theme with different character plots really makes sense!
Thank you for the comment! Yeah, one of the reasons why I made the video was because I wanted to give a different perspective on these films that didn't involve the misconception that Shinkai basically makes the same film over and over again - which I think is a bit of an unfair assumption to make (and this is coming from someone who wasn't even the biggest Shinkai fan before making the video). I don't think this video will dispel that narrative entirely, but I hope it changes how some people view and talk about them in a way that's more productive than saying "it's like Your Name but not as good".
My jaw dropped on the floor when i watched this video that did a really good job on exploring the themes in a really easy to understand way, only for my eyes to pan down and realise that you deserve wayyyyy more more like and comments, your explanation is so good i was shocked.
Thank you!
This was a lovely video
Thank you!
While I was watching i really thought this was an incredibly popular channel, cue my surprise at seeing this only had 30 likes!
This sense that the films are interconnected was the prime selling point for me when my friend convinced me to watch them, and i believe it greatly influenced my watching experience against someone's who didn't know. After the movie marathon I kept getting this sense that yes, they were connected in a way that's not in the actual narrative unlike what my friend insisted, but I was never able to articulate that point. You, on the other hand, were able to expand on that idea beautifully. Your arguments were more than what I was expecting (including the edition note lol) and everything finally truly made sense.
Your scripting is phenomenal and the editing was also great. Many kudos to you!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad my video gave you a better understanding of these films!
It's even further connected but less so with Garden of Words. The teacher talking about twilight is the same one who said she was "moving back home".
Admittedly, I didn't actually catch that until after making this video - and I had watched Your Name 4 times at that point! Still, it's a great detail/cameo, though.
You forgot about the star wars trilogy, the god father trilogy, back to the future trilogy
It's not like I forgot about them, I fully intended to include them in the video, but since I had the deadline of getting the video done by the end of the month, time was not on my side. I do agree that giving those trilogies even a brief mention would've helped because they are all great.
I have always hated the romance genre in movies….watching these 3 i have learnt to appreciate this genre…..
Glad they were able to change your perspective of the genre!
I actually didn't like suzume that much rest were awesome
Same I kinda fell asleep an hour in
yes it was kinda boring ngl.
