Throughout popular culture, there have been many pairs of iconic characters, or duos, who grow into household names: Batman and Robin, Tom and Jerry, Chip and Dale, and Mario and Luigi – the list goes on and as time goes by, new pairs will likely be added to the list. In the anime landscape, there are similarly popular pairs, taking the form of Naruto and Sasuke, Vegeta and Goku, and Hinata and Kageyama of Haikyuu!! fame, among others.
Failure to do so unleashes paranormal worms that will ram into the ground and trigger earthquakes, as Suzume soon learns after helping Souta close one of these doorways, but not before inadvertently removing a keystone kept in place to prevent larger disasters. The keystone then shapeshifts into a cat and inflicts a curse on the latter, turning him into a walking, talking chair.
Considering the movie’s fantastical nature, though, it might be better to throw these what ifs out of the window and simply embrace the mystique, because when the serious moments hit, they hit hard. Suzume marks Shinkai’s most mature undertaking to date, where the tender-hearted heroine’s confrontation with grief is thoughtfully executed and very much rooted in real-world experiences.
Retaining the artistic flair of the director’s oeuvre, Suzume continues to delight with its breathtaking visuals. Decked out in crisp line art, eye-popping hues, top-grade CG, and meticulous detail, the film is a stunning canvas brought to life. Landscapes are lush, animation fluid, and the scenes flow nicely from one to the next, but if there’s something to nitpick, it’s that the paranormal worms, in their animated state, don’t look as menacing as they should be.
