I got hit with my first customs fee from mandarake with this one, I bought the two items from the same store to save on shipping but it pushed the order price over £135. Lesson learnt.

I was not prepared for this much solid gold anime in one post! (I mean OK for me JJK and Suzume are a touch more debatable but still so many amazing shows! Also I have only seen Suzume once so might change my opinion after a second viewing) :)

I haven't seen Suzume yet, but I've always been a sucker for Shinkai's work. I haven't read any reviews for it either, so I'm guessing you think it's a slight drop in quality from his previous films?

I watch Boruto, so my taste is definitely questionable at the best of times 😂 when they're BOGOF, they're hard to resist! I'm looking forward to trying all of them out though - Durarara!! I've already seen and it was more of a nostalgia purchase for me.

I really enjoyed Suzume - as far as Shinkai's works go, Your Name is my GOAT movie, whether live action or animated, and I rank Suzume just a bit behind Your Name, and just ahead of Garden of Words. Weathering With You I did not care for that much, I think I even prefer Agartha (Children Who Chase Lost Voices) over WWY.

Suzume pays homage to the 9.0 Great Tohoku Earthquake and resulting Tsunami that hit Japan back on March 11, 2011, killing 20,000 people and severely damaging the Fukushima nuclear plant. The movie starts out showing a young girl wandering through some of the devastation left behind by the tsunami, and later refers to the date 3/11 in the girl's diary.

The thing with Suzume is that it is deeply steeped in Shinto religious beliefs and lore, so to better understand it, after you see the movie it is good to check out some of the YouTube videos explaining all of what is seen in the movie. Cinema Tokyo has posted 3 explanation videos that really go into a lot of interesting detail.
