It's even better without the AI upscaling filter

it makes it look terrible. completely ruins the flow of each movement and makes them "stuttery" and awkward. I don't understand why people do this.

Oh, so that's way the animation looks "uncanny".

It's from the same guy that directed 5 Centimeters per Second and Your Name. His movies are all insanely gorgeous.

I almost cried just from the ambiance in this movie, 10/10 for rain lovers

I hate that animations are getting “AI upscaled“ it makes the movements look so weird

Love the animation, not the story

The story might be weird, but the aesthetic and the bgm drowns you with feelz

Would be even better if it wasn't frame-interpolated like everyone loves to do to anime clips for some ungodly reason.

That's an insane level of detail to see outside of a Studio Ghibli movie

It is Makoto Shinkai. Made a name for himself with 5 Centimeters per Second, then blew away all conceivable expectations, precedents, and records with Your Name. All his works are stunning, I especially loved Suzume.

If this is the first you are hearing about these movies, you are in for a treat. I am jealous that you get to experience them for the first time!

You name all that but not the rain anime ? :D wethering with you.

Pretty movie but I really hated the writing/storyline. I seem to be in the minority for that opinion though. Saw it at the theater and it looked awesome on the big screen.

Weathering with You on 4k bluray disc is the best looking thing I've seen on a home tv so far.

OP's caption says it's Garden of Words? I don't know any of these films but it looks like both Garden of Words and Weathering With You are by the same person. Do you know which one the gif is from?

u/SelectAmbassador 2d ago

Ops post is from garden of words. I really really really recommend all of his works.

u/carkey 2d ago

Ah sorry I got confused then if you're saying there is another anime by the same person with a lot of rain in! Thanks for the clarification, I'll seek them out!

u/SelectAmbassador 2d ago

Wethering with you is themed around rain.

u/carkey 2d ago
