Is the son of the weather a sequel to your name?

The relationship between Son of the Weather and Your Name is the same as that of the sequel. The director and screenwriter are both Makoto Shinkai.

In The Son of the Weather, the hero Vincent Van Gogh bought a ring. A salesgirl not only gave him advice, but also gave him encouragement. She is actually the heroine Miyamizu Mitsuha in Your Name. Besides, Tachibana Taki, the hero of your name, also appeared as the son of the weather. Cai Yang Amano, the heroine of Son of the Weather, visited her client Lihua's mother-in-law and went to Lihua's home in person. As a result, she met Tachibana Taki there.

Son of the Weather and Your Name are stories in the same background, except that the hero of Son of the Weather is Van Gogh Morishima, the heroine is Cai Yang Amano, and the hero of Your Name is Tachibana Taki and the heroine is Miyamizu Mitsuha. Although Morishima and Miyamizu Mitsuha overlap, Amano and Tachibana Taki have met, but they don't know each other.

Evaluation of works

Your Name uses the theme of exchanging bodies between men and women. Although this theme has been used in many movies, Makoto Shinkai used the youthful feelings of teenagers to match the tense story, meeting again and again, forgetting again and again, which virtually aroused the curiosity of the audience.

"Son of the Weather" is set in the chaotic era of weather change, showing the audience the intertwined fate between a girl who has the ability to change the weather and a high school boy who runs away from home. Although the backgrounds are different, there are many similarities between the two works. What is worth mentioning is the almost unchanging painting style and exciting background music in Makoto Shinkai's works.
