Because the romance takes a back seat in favor of the main character’s growth, with the primary climax focused inward, Suzume ends up with a particularly unique and beautiful romantic arc.
Suzume is a captivating film that depicts the grieving process in a creative and thoughtful manner. It features a strong cast, a moving score, and some truly amazing animation.

The best animated family film I've ever watched! Suzume makes a great protagonist and role model for girls. The effervescent humor keeps balances out the tragedy in the story. This film is based on two things: Japanese earthquakes, including the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami which claimed almost 20,000 lives, and also the existence of ruins in Japan due to depopulation. The film being based on these serious events make it more meaningful and real. This is a film which audiences of any age will enjoy. Watch Suzume, you won't regret it!

This isn’t the first time Shinkai has raised the specter of environmental disaster within the context of a swooningly sentimental teenage fantasy, and if this one doesn’t achieve the dazzling intricacies or soaring emotional heights of “Your Name,” its easy blend of enchantment and feeling is nearly as hard to resist.
There are key elements of Suzume that directly speak to the history of Japan and the fears of its people, but Shinkai’s gift is his ability to make the issues of trauma and anxiety feel like everyone’s. “Suzume” isn’t quite the masterpiece that is “Your Name” but I wouldn’t blame anyone for falling in love with it.
It’s not just the drama that works. Shinkai delivers hilarious physical comedy in the awkward gambols and leaps of Souta the three-legged chair — a refreshing reversal of the trope of the handsome young love interest who leads the naïve girl on a journey.
In Suzume, they deliver a general lack of focus or full realization of any one of dozens of well-intentioned ideas.
The film is just incredible, I'm glad I saw it. The film tells a wonderful story. The film doesn't have just one genre, there's a bit of everything. The exterior of the film is also incredibly beautiful. Every little detail is drawn in this film. The music is perfectly integrated into the film and not only the song from the trailer, but many others were great.
I found the allusion to Tōhoku interesting. The ending of "Suzume" is different from "Your Name" and "Weathering with you" because it doesn't really show that they will be together in the end. I think it's just as good as "Your Name" and "Weathering with you".

They show this handsome guy in a trailer, but in reality he gets like 5 minutes of screen time. It made me feel kind of disappointed.
The main storyline was rather childish, which is no surprise, given the characters. Not "childish", as in "fairytale", but as in "made for kids". There is no drama, no love story- it is just hollow (like moving from 1 quest marker to another), filled with nice visuals. Here is a joke, here is a cute scene, here is an action sequence. Here is a picture of a landscape for 10 seconds. Yeah, we get it, you know how to paint over a photograph, and you have a huge budget. But, at the same time, we know absolutely nothing about how the main character feels, or what they think. One could replace them with a soulless robot, or a wooden stick, and almost nothing would change. Even more, some of the characters have no personality at all. They just do whatever a plot requires them to, like turning from friends to enemies and back for absolutely no reason. Nevertheless, the plot did keep me entertained till the very end. It was unpredictable, for the most part, and fun to watch.
All in all, I have mixed feelings about this one. They did put a lot of money on the table: stunning visuals (excluding those ugly 3d scenes), original music, beautiful voice acting, all sorts of ads and promo materials. But, in the end, it all comes down to the plot- and while secondary characters are amazing, I can't name a single main character who did not disappoint me.
I would never watch it for the second time.

Visually stunning anime with lots of humour. The main protagonist could have used a little more character development and the plot gets convoluted towards the end. I liked the road trip feeling of the story with great music along the way but the action got a little repetitive eventually.
