Makoto Shinkai's Disaster Trilogy (Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume)

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.
