Honestly, who translates these movie titles? what is 'weathering?' humph!
i watched the subtitled version, and the animation was equally as gorgeous as 'kimi no na wa.' there was an interview with shinkai after the preview screening where he explained the difficulty in animating rain: tracing the path of each drop, accounting for refraction, and having to draw things twice - the actual person or object as well as its reflection.
the musical score is once again the result of close collaboration with radwimps. sometimes scenes were animated AFTER the songs were received, which seemed unusual.
the story of 'tenki no ko' (child of weather) is closely tied to japanese people's relationship with the four seasons. there are folkloric elements that are hard to convey, but it's a visually gorgeous film.
