This anime story of first love and magic comes from the maker of Japanese hit Your Name.

In contemporary Tokyo, teen boy Hodaka falls for Hina and learns that she has a special power to influence the weather. The city is rain-soaked until Hina’s praying brings glorious sun that shines on their budding romance. Despite that, there are tough situations - Hodaka is homeless, while the authorities threaten Hina’s small family unit. With the weather in imbalance, it is within Hina’s power to reset it, but at huge personal sacrifice. This is a beautiful and creative stimulus for climate action discussion and debate. 

In Japanese with English subtitles, a great introduction to the art of anime for Japanese language students too.
