The film has already shipped in gold on its commercial return angle, becoming the highest grossing anime film worldwide, so that’s a go. The chances of an actual direct sequel, and with that I mean a film continuing the story of ‘Weathering With You’ then depends on three factors, each of which we will just explore. What it turns out to be then is simply a nod for the fans of Shinkai’s work, something they will no doubt appreciate regardless. While that in itself is a big reason to assume that the two films may be connected, a logical dissection of both films’ timelines would simply reveal that they cannot exist in the same world. Mitsuha Miyamizu and Taki Tachibana, the protagonists from ‘Your Name’, make cameo appearances in the film as the grandson of the old woman who recruits Hina and Hodaka for some sunshine in her backyard, and the salesgirl at the mall Hodaka goes to.
While they do not have any intersecting plot points except for both of them being set in Tokyo, and having nearly the same narrative structure with common character tropes in Hina and Mitsuha, there is another profoundly direct connection that the two films bear, one that is sure to send the fans of Shinkai and ‘Your Name’ into a frenzy.
In the same vein, some of his eager fans have even labelled ‘Weathering With You’ as a thematic sequel to ‘Your Name’, or a spiritual successor. He has made several good anime films back in the day, but he shot to global fame and recognition with ‘Your Name’.

Naturally, the film opened to full houses there as fans flocked to see the same magic they witnessed in ‘ Your Name’, recreated by Makoto Shinkai, who has come to be somewhat of an anime auteur by now, with many media houses claiming him to be the new Hayao Miyazaki. ‘Tenki no Ko’ or ‘ Weathering With You’ has gained significant traction since its release in Japan.
