Plot

Suzume Iwato is a 17-year-old high school girl who lives with her aunt in Kyushu. One night, she dreams of searching for her mother as a child in a ruined neighborhood. The next morning, while headed for school, Suzume encounters a young man searching for abandoned areas with doors. She tells him about an old onsen resort nearby, then follows the man herself to the resort. Suzume finds a door standing alone on its frame, which shows a starlit field through the doorway which she cannot enter. She trips over a cat statue which becomes a real cat and flees. Frightened, she heads back to school. During lunchtime, Suzume notices a blaze-like column arising from the site of the onsen that nobody else can see. Returning there, she finds the man from before, trying to close the door. Seeing him struggle and get injured, Suzume rushes to help. The red column disappears, but not before crashing invisibly into the town and causing earthquake-like damage.

Suzume takes the man, Sōta Munakata, to her home to bandage his wound. He explains that he travels across Japan, finding and locking doors in abandoned places to prevent a giant supernatural "worm" from causing earthquakes. The cat from the resort appears and fuses Sōta with the child's chair he was sitting on. Sōta, now an animated chair, chases the cat to a ferry headed for Ehime with Suzume following. He describes the cat as a keystone, and that the worm was released after its removal from near the abandoned door.

At Ehime, the pair use clues on social media from locals who have photographed the cat and named it "Daijin" to follow it across Shikoku. With the help of local resident Chika, they find the worm and close its door of entry at an abandoned school. Following Daijin's trail to Kobe thanks to Rumi, a local bar owner, the duo encounter the worm reemerging at an abandoned amusement park. Sōta demands that Daijin turn back into a keystone, but he refuses, wanting to "play" with Suzume. She and Sōta lock the worm's portal. Sōta explains the portal leads to the afterlife where souls go after death. As they spend the night at Rumi's bar, it is revealed that Sōta is losing his sense of self in his chair form.

After tracking Daijin to Tokyo, Sōta has Suzume take him to his apartment. He explains the myth of the worm Namazu, and how it is pacified by the placement of two keystones at eastern and western Japan. The western keystone has become the cat Daijin, while records of the eastern keystone's location are obscure. Should the worm appear in Tokyo, it could destroy the city similar to the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. Daijin reappears and reveals that he had passed on his function as a keystone to Sōta's chair form. After finding the reemerged worm, Sōta turns into a keystone in Suzume's hands, leaving Suzume to seal it away. She wakes up in a cave housing Tokyo's doorway. Peering into the afterlife, she sees the keystone Sōta but again cannot reach him. Suzume visits Sōta's grandfather at the hospital. He explains that Suzume's ability to see the worm and the afterlife through the doors means that she had accidentally entered the realm once before. Moreover, that doorway she used is the only place where she could reenter the afterlife and save Sōta.

Reuniting with her Aunt Tamaki, who followed her from Kyushu, Suzume travels to her childhood hometown in Tōhoku, which was destroyed in the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. At a rest stop along the way, Suzume discovers that Tamaki is possessed by Sadaijin, the eastern keystone. Tamaki takes Suzume to the ruins of her old house where she once lived with her mother/Tamaki's sister, a nurse who was killed in the tsunami. Suzume finds her old door and enters with Sadaijin. She emerges in the afterlife which appears as her town following the earthquake-tsunami. While Sadaijin distracts the worm, Suzume awakens Sōta, returning him to human form. Admitting defeat, Daijin returns to being a keystone. With Daijin and Sadaijin, Suzume and Sōta reseal the worm, preventing it from leaving the afterlife.

Sōta then notices a child in the afterlife: Suzume from 12 years ago. Suzume remembers how she entered the afterlife as a child following her mother's death. She takes her childhood chair from the afterlife version of her home and gives it to her younger self, telling her about her future. Young Suzume exits the afterlife with the chair, leading to her being found by Tamaki 12 years prior. Suzume and Sōta leave the afterlife themselves, with Sōta returning to Tokyo while Suzume and Tamaki return to Kyushu, revisiting the friends she made along the way.

Sometime later, back in Miyazaki, Suzume is on her way to school when she once again runs into Sōta, walking up the same road where they first met.

Production

Development
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami served as an influence for the film. The stranded catamaran Hamayuri in this aerial image taken in Ōtsuchi, Iwate became the prototype of the stranded vessel appearing in the afterlife scene.

Makoto Shinkai conceived the idea for Suzume while he was traveling around Japan to give talks about his past works. He said, "In Japan, it is customary to hold a jichin-sai or groundbreaking ceremony, before construction begins on a new building or home, but we do nothing when we close them down." Shinkai noticed that there were more empty or abandoned areas in Japan due to the country's declining birth rate and aging population, so he thought of writing a story about "mourning deserted places."[12][13] As a result, the film inevitably turned into a road movie about visiting places.[14]

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami served as an influence for the themes in the film. While the Tiamat comet in Your Name and the concept of Weathering with You were ideas influenced by the natural disaster, Shinkai felt that he should "express the impact [he] felt through the earthquake and tsunami, instead of continuing to depict it as a metaphor."[12][13] He feared that people's memories of the disaster start to become "hazy" over time, and by depicting the earthquake and tsunami in his film or novel, he could also share his memories with teens who were unaware of the disaster.[12] Shinkai also cited Kiki's Delivery Service, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, and Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore and short story "Kaeru-kun, Tokyo o Sukuu" (かえるくん、東京を救う, "Super-Frog Saves Tokyo") as influences for the film.[13][15]

Shinkai and his staff planned the project from January to March 2020. They started developing the film's script in April, which is when the Japanese government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16][17] In an interview with TV Asahi, Shinkai mentioned that the pandemic had a less tangible effect on the film's production. However, he said that "the mood of the times is indelibly etched into the script", adding that the film will have a post-apocalyptic theme.[17] Sōta turning into a chair was in reference to Shinkai feeling trapped during the COVID-19 curbs.[12] After finishing the script in August, the storyboards were drafted from September 2020 to December 2021, while the production of the animation started in April 2021.[16] The film was officially unveiled during a press conference on December 15, 2021. The film's staff includes Masayoshi Tanaka as the character designer, Kenichi Tsuchiya as the animation director, and Takumi Tanji as the art director. CoMix Wave Films and Story Inc. were revealed as the film's producers.[16] In October 2022, Shinkai announced that production on the film was completed.[18]

Characters

Shinkai immediately decided for the film to have a female main character, since Weathering with You had a male main character, and also felt that a "buddy" character was necessary. He believed the film's tension would "inevitably become quieter" if the story focused on mourning a place, so he decided for the film to be a "buddy story" between a girl and a chair to keep it entertaining.[13] Shinkai initially thought of other options for potential partners, such as another girl, one that turns into a monster throughout the story, and "inorganic partners" like a milk carton. The idea for a chair partner came when Shinkai saw a wooden chair sitting at a deserted bus stop, and found its "foreign feeling" to be better than any of his previous ideas. Shinkai also became less interested in writing a love story and wanted to depict different relationships, like with Suzume and her aunt.[13]

Casting

Nanoka Hara was revealed as the voice of Suzume Iwato on July 5, 2022. Shinkai selected her from an audition involving more than 1,700 people. Hara has been a fan of Shinkai's works, remarking that she could not imagine being the one to share the "unforgettable, heart-shaking sensation" she felt when first seeing one of his films in theaters.[5][19] On September 6, 2022, Hokuto Matsumura's role as Sōta Munakata was revealed. He described the character as one that "[he] had never seen in any of the director's works". Therefore, Matsumura gave a voice for Sōta that he "had never heard before," which involved using a slightly lower tone. Shinkai found his voice to be "impressive" and said that it "embodies the character".[20] Suzume and Sōta are Hara and Matsumura's first anime voice-acting roles.[5][20] On September 29, Eri Fukatsu, Shota Sometani, Sairi Ito, Kotone Hanase, Kana Hanazawa, and Matsumoto Hakuō II were revealed to be joining the voice cast.[8] On October 25, Ryūnosuke Kamiki, who voiced Taki Tachibana in Your Name, was added to the cast for the role of Tomoya Serizawa.[9]

Music

On September 20, 2022, it was announced that the band Radwimps, which had previously collaborated with Shinkai on Your Name and Weathering with You, would be composing the score for the film, along with composer Kazuma Jinnouchi. It was also revealed that TikTok singer Toaka provided the vocals for the first theme song, "Suzume" (すずめ),[21] which debuted on music streaming services on September 30, 2022.[22] The second theme song, "Kanata Haluka" (カナタハルカ), debuted online on October 28, 2022.[9] The soundtrack was released on November 11, 2022, the day of the film's release. Some of its recordings were done at Abbey Road Studios in London.[23]

Marketing

A teaser poster was released alongside the film's announcement.[16] On April 9, 2022, an updated version featuring the film's protagonist was released online and as a full-page advertisement in the morning edition of The Asahi Shimbun newspaper.[24][25] It was also announced that the film would be released on November 11.[24] Toho debuted a teaser trailer on April 10, 2022,[26] and a full trailer was released on July 15.[27] The main poster, along with the second trailer, was released on September 29, 2022.[8] Nippon TV previewed the first 12 minutes of the film on October 28, 2022, during a broadcast of Your Name on NNN's Kin'yō Road Show program.[28][18] Prior to the film's release, the production committee warned filmgoers of scenes in the film that depict an earthquake and sounds of earthquake alarms, and reassured that the sounds were fictional.[29]

Several bonus items were given to filmgoers in Japan. A booklet, titled Shinkai Makoto Hon (新海誠本), was the first to be distributed, and had a print run of 3 million copies. The booklet contained the original proposals for Suzume, Your Name, and Weathering with You, and interviews with Shinkai, Hara, and Matsumura.[30] A second booklet, Shinkai Makoto Hon 2 (新海誠本2), was distributed beginning on December 3, with a print run of 1.5 million copies.[31] A spin-off novel written by Shinkai, subtitled Tamaki-san no Monogatari (環さんのものがたり), was given starting on December 24.[32] A second novel, Serizawa no Monogatari (芹澤のものがたり), was distributed starting on January 28, 2023.[33] McDonald's Japan released a Happy Meal set that includes a spin-off picture book, titled Suzume to Isu (すずめといす, "Suzume and the Chair"), which tells an original story written by Shinkai and illustrated by Senbon Umishima.[34] Other partners for the film include Misawa Homes,[35] Lawson,[36] and KDDI's au.[37] Additionally, a promotional campaign was held involving one local company from each of the 47 prefectures of Japan.[38] The film also had a 20-page special feature in the #50/2022 issue of Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine.[39]

Critical response

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 94% based on 17 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2/10.[66] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average of 78 out of 100 based on 6 critic reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[67]

He praised the art and animation, and while he also described some of the dialogue as "cliche or cringe-worthy", he also felt that the film was "a bit more mature" than Shinkai's past films. Schley also found the film's climax "somewhat disturbing", and said that it might divide viewers on whether Shinkai "earns" it.[68] Richard Eisenbeis, writing for Anime News Network, graded the film 'A', praising the story, characters, animation, and music, but found the plot structure to be similar to Your Name and Weathering with You, making the film "more predictable." Einsenbeis also criticized the appearance of a creature that Suzume encountered in Tokyo, describing it as "a cheap CG effect placed over the otherwise quality animation and blended poorly."[69]
