Movie Synopsis:
Morishima Hodaka, a high school boy runs away from his home to Tokyo. He soon starts having financial issues and realizes his personal limits. He notices that it rains every day and he finds the weather gloomy just like his life. After long struggles, he finds a job as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day he meets a bright and strong-willed girl named Amano Hina. Hina has a wonderful ability, that is, to make the rain stop and clear the sky.
Anime was always a medium very few people knew in India. Also, since Animax shut down in 2017, fans slowly believed that it will never be back now. But the release of Tenki No Ko in India has given birth to new hope for anime’s future in the country. This was made possible due to the efforts of so many fans and Anime YouTubers in India and Makoto Shinkai and other people who reached out to the voices of Indian fans. Also thanks to PVR and Vkaao who are supporting these movies in India.
