I liked Shinkai Makoto's Weathering with You (天気の子) so much more than I thought I would. In many ways this is a cliché love story about two teenagers. It's also a fantasy about weather and love and other things. But... it gets under your skin after a while. And it's so gorgeously animated, and the characters are so lovely, that I couldn't help but fall in love with all of its clichés. The climate change part of the story is also really, really interesting, and the whole thing just works. I wasn't expecting to like this so very much, but it flooded its way into my heart.
