I adored Perfect Days for those exact reasons yet Suzume's attempts to pull at the heartstrings felt blatant and a little hollow and is why I chose the word "gratuitous". Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more if I entered without prior expectations of greatness or if I had a personal connection to the 2011 earthquake that so permeates throughout. Don't get me wrong, the film to me was decent but the romance was shoehorned and it wasn't cohesive enough to live up to the hype. I do intend to watch eventually Your Name as it's widely believed to be his magnum opus and I would love to see a more compelling Suzume.
I haven't! Would you recommend I watch it before Your Name?
