Suzume

{{Long plot|film|date=September 2024}}

Suzume Iwato is a seventeen-year-old orphaned high-school girl living with her aunt in a town in Kyushu. She has recurring dreams of her childhood self walking through a ruined cityscape at night, before running into a shadowy figure she believes to be her late mother. On her way to school one morning, Suzume meets a young man searching for abandoned locations with doors. She tells him of a nearby abandoned {{transl|ja|onsen}} resort, and curiously follows him. There, she discovers a door free-standing on its frame. Suzume opens it to see a starlit field through the doorway, which she cannot enter. She then trips over a cat statue on the floor, which turns into a real cat and flees. Frightened, Suzume rushes to school.

During lunch, Suzume notices a huge column of smoke from the location of the abandoned resort, which no one else can see. She returns there and finds the man from earlier, struggling to close the door through which the smoke is escaping. Suzume helps him, and he locks the door with an old key. The worm-like smoke disappears, but not before causing earthquake damage to the town.

Suzume takes the injured man, Souta Munakata, to her home. He explains that he is a "Closer" and must locate and lock specific doors in abandoned places throughout Japan to prevent a supernatural "worm" from being released and causing earthquakes. As they talk, the cat from the resort appears and turns Souta into the chair he was sitting on. Souta, now an animated three-legged chair, chases the cat onto a ferry headed for Ehime, with Suzume following. The cat leaps onto another ship as Souta tells Suzume that the cat is a "keystone", and that the worm was released after the keystone's removal from the resort door.

Upon reaching Ehime, Suzume and Souta find social media posts from locals, who have photographed and named the cat "Daijin". With help from a local girl, Chika Amabe, they locate the worm again and close the door it is escaping from in an abandoned school. After parting with Chika, they hitch a ride to Kobe with a kind bar owner named Rumi Ninomiya, who asks Suzume to babysit her twin children. In the evening, Suzume spots Daijin who wants to be her playmate. He leads her and Souta to an abandoned amusement park, where they stop the worm emerging again through a Ferris wheel gondola. Souta explains that the portal within the doors leads to the Ever-After, where souls go after death. He also notices that he is spending longer times asleep as a chair, with Suzume taking longer to rouse him.

After tracking Daijin to Tokyo, Souta asks Suzume to take them to his apartment. He explains the legend of the worm, and that he is the last descendant of a family that, for generations, had been responsible for locking abandoned doors which lead to the Ever-After. Souta speaks of two keystones that seal the worm: the western keystone has become Daijin, while the location of the eastern keystone is unknown. He warns that if the worm tries to emerge in Tokyo, it could cause damage similar to the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. Suzume notices the worm emerging again, and the two head towards it. Daijin reappears and reveals that he has passed on his function as keystone to Souta. Souta suddenly turns into the new keystone and Suzume reluctantly uses him to seal the giant worm.

Awakening at a shrine housing the Tokyo gate, Suzume sees Souta within the Ever-After but is unable to enter. Daijin appears and Suzume gets angry at him, telling him not to come back. She visits Souta's grandfather Hitsujirō at the hospital, hoping to discover how to rescue Souta. Hitsujirō explains that Suzume's ability to see the worm and the Ever-After through the doors means that in some point in her life she entered the realm through one such door. Moreover, the doorway she first used is the only place where she can re-enter the Ever-After.

Suzume then runs into Souta's friend, Tomoya Serizawa, who is looking for him, and her Aunt Tamaki who wants to take her back home to Kyushu. She instead talks Tomoya into driving her and Tamaki to her childhood hometown in Tōhoku, which was destroyed in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that also killed her mother. Suzume believes she will find her door there. At a rest stop along the way, Suzume and Tamaki get into an argument, and she discovers that her aunt is possessed by Sadaijin, the eastern keystone, who now accompanies them. They reach the ruins of Suzume's old house, where Suzume finds the old door and enters it with Daijin and Sadaijin. Inside the Ever-After, which looks like Suzume's hometown after the earthquake/tsunami, Sadaijin distracts the worm, while Suzume awakens Souta, who regains his human form. Realizing the consequences of his freedom, Daijin reverts himself to being the western keystone. Suzume and Souta use him and Sadaijin to imprison the worm again in the Ever-After.

Afterward, Suzume sees a young girl in the Ever-After with them. She realizes the young girl is herself, from 12 years ago, and that the younger girl mistook her older self to be her mother. Suzume gives her young self the chair that had been Souta's body, built by her mother as a childhood birthday present. The young Suzume leaves the Ever-After 12 years in the past, to be taken in by Tamaki. Souta and Suzume also leave the Ever-After in the present, with Souta returning to Tokyo. Suzume and Tamaki go back to Kyushu, revisiting the friends she made along the way.

The next year, Suzume makes her way to school. To her surprise, she runs into Souta again, at the same location where they first met.

The stranded catamaran {{Interlanguage link|Hamayuri|ja|3=はまゆり (遊覧船)}} in this aerial image taken in Ōtsuchi, Iwate, became the prototype of the stranded vessel appearing in the afterlife scene.]]

Makoto Shinkai conceived the idea for Suzume while he was traveling around Japan to give talks about his past works. He said, "In Japan, it is customary to hold a {{transl|ja|jichinsai}} or groundbreaking ceremony, before construction begins on a new building or home, but we do nothing when we close them down." Shinkai noticed that there were more empty or abandoned areas in Japan due to the country's declining birth rate and aging population, so he thought of writing a story about "mourning deserted places."{{cite web |last=Sekihara |first=Noriko |title=Makoto Shinkai's new film Suzume mourns Japan's deserted towns |url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Arts/Makoto-Shinkai-s-new-film-Suzume-mourns-Japan-s-deserted-towns |website=Nikkei Asia |date=November 19, 2022 |access-date=December 1, 2022 |archive-date=December 1, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221201012138/https://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Arts/Makoto-Shinkai-s-new-film-Suzume-mourns-Japan-s-deserted-towns |url-status=live}}{{cite magazine |script-title=ja:映画『すずめの戸締まり』公開記念インタビュー。新海誠が「いまでなければ間に合わないと思った」、作品に込めたテーマを語る【アニメの話を聞きに行こう！】 |url=https://www.famitsu.com/news/202211/17282112.html |magazine=Famitsu |date=November 17, 2022 |access-date=December 2, 2022 |language=ja |archive-date=November 17, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221117163055/https://www.famitsu.com/news/202211/17282112.html |url-status=live}} As a result, the film inevitably turned into a road movie about visiting places.{{cite web |script-title=ja:『すずめの戸締まり』新海誠監督インタビュー｜神木隆之介さんへのオファーは一度断れながらも電話で直談判!? 10年たった今だからこそ描く東日本大震災への想い |url=https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1668074939 |website=Animate Times |date=November 12, 2022 |access-date=December 2, 2022 |language=ja |archive-date=December 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221202050637/https://www.animatetimes.com/news/details.php?id=1668074939 |url-status=live}}

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami served as an influence for the themes in the film. While the Tiamat comet in Your Name (2016) and the concept of Weathering with You (2019) were ideas influenced by the natural disaster, Shinkai felt that he should "express the impact [he] felt through the earthquake and tsunami, instead of continuing to depict it as a metaphor." He feared that people's memories of the disaster start to become "hazy" over time, and by depicting the earthquake and tsunami in his film or novel, he could also share his memories with teens who were unaware of the disaster. Shinkai also cited Kiki's Delivery Service, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, and Haruki Murakami's novel Kafka on the Shore and short story {{ill|Super-Frog Saves Tokyo|quote=y|ja|かえるくん、東京を救う}} as influences for the film.{{cite web |last=Kim |first=Da-sol |title=Suzume director says he was inspired by 2016 drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God |url=https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20230308000552 |website=The Korea Herald |date=March 8, 2023 |access-date=March 8, 2023 |archive-date=March 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308065254/https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20230308000552 |url-status=live}}

Shinkai and his staff planned the project from January to March 2020. They started developing the film's script in April, which is when the Japanese government declared a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web |last=Mateo |first=Alex |title=Makoto Shinkai Reveals New Anime Film Suzume no Tojimari |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-15/makoto-shinkai-reveals-new-anime-film-suzume-no-tojimari/.180638 |website=Anime News Network |date=December 15, 2021 |access-date=December 16, 2021 |archive-date=December 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211222050226/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-15/makoto-shinkai-reveals-new-anime-film-suzume-no-tojimari/.180638 |url-status=live}} In an interview with TV Asahi, Shinkai mentioned that the pandemic had a less tangible effect on the film's production. However, he said that "the mood of the times is indelibly etched into the script", adding that the film will have a post-apocalyptic theme.{{cite web |last=Morrissy |first=Kim |title=Makoto Shinkai Talks Demon Slayer, Hints at His Next Work |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-12-28/makoto-shinkai-talks-demon-slayer-hints-at-his-next-work/.167930 |website=Anime News Network |date=December 28, 2020 |access-date=April 10, 2022 |archive-date=January 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124210852/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2020-12-28/makoto-shinkai-talks-demon-slayer-hints-at-his-next-work/.167930 |url-status=live}} Souta turning into a chair was in reference to Shinkai feeling trapped during the COVID-19 curbs. After finishing the script in August, the storyboards were drafted from September 2020 to December 2021, while the production of the animation started in April 2021. The film was officially unveiled during a press conference on December 15, 2021. The film's staff includes Masayoshi Tanaka as the character designer, Kenichi Tsuchiya as the animation director, and Takumi Tanji as the art director. CoMix Wave Films and Story Inc. were revealed as the film's producers. In October 2022, Shinkai announced that production on the film was completed.

Shinkai immediately decided for the film to have a female main character, since Weathering with You had a male main character, and also felt that a "buddy" character was necessary. Initially, he wanted Suzume's companion to be another girl, with a "sisterhood type of romantic story", as he believed that he had exhausted the potential of the "boy meets girl" formula in previous films. However, Shinkai's producer discouraged the idea, saying that the audience for his films was still enjoying the typical romance aspects of his films.{{Cite web |last=Baron |first=Reuben |date=2023-04-12 |title=Director Makoto Shinkai On The Anime Artistry Of Suzume - Exclusive Interview |url=https://www.looper.com/1254434/director-makoto-shinkai-anime-artistry-suzume-exclusive-interview/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=Looper |language=en-US |archive-date=April 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424010853/https://www.looper.com/1254434/director-makoto-shinkai-anime-artistry-suzume-exclusive-interview/ |url-status=live}}{{Cite web |last=Cambosa |first=Teddy |date=2023-04-23 |title=Makoto Shinkai: Suzume Originally Intended As a Lesbian Romance |url=https://animecorner.me/makoto-shinkai-suzume-originally-intended-as-a-lesbian-romance/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=Anime Corner |language=en-us |archive-date=April 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230424024514/https://animecorner.me/makoto-shinkai-suzume-originally-intended-as-a-lesbian-romance/ |url-status=live}} Thus, making the partner a chair was decided upon both to avoid the film becoming "too much of a romance," and also to lighten the mood of the film, which would "inevitably become quieter" if the story focused on mourning a place. Shinkai also considered other options for potential partners, such as a partner that turns into a monster throughout the story, and other "inorganic partners" like a milk carton. The idea for a chair partner came when Shinkai saw a wooden chair sitting at a deserted bus stop, and found its "foreign feeling" to be better than any of his previous ideas. Shinkai also became less interested in writing a love story and wanted to depict different relationships, like with Suzume and her aunt.

Nanoka Hara was revealed as the voice of Suzume Iwato on July 5, 2022. Shinkai selected her from an audition involving more than 1,700 people. Hara has been a fan of Shinkai's works, remarking that she could not imagine being the one to share the "unforgettable, heart-shaking sensation" she felt when first seeing one of his films in theaters.{{cite web |last=Pineda |first=Rafael Antonio |title=Makoto Shinkai's Suzume no Tojimari Anime Film Casts Nanoka Hara as Heroine |url=https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-07-04/makoto-shinkai-suzume-no-tojimari-anime-film-casts-nanoka-hara-as-heroine/.187395 |website=Anime News Network |date=July 4, 2022 |access-date=July 4, 2022 |archive-date=July 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705224304/https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2022-07-04/makoto-shinkai-suzume-no-tojimari-anime-film-casts-nanoka-hara-as-heroine/.187395 |url-status=live}}{{cite web |last=Komatsu |first=Mikikazu |title=18-year-old Actress Nanoka Hara to Voice The Main Heroine of Makoto Shinkai's New Film Suzume no Tojimari |url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/07/04-1/18-year-old-actress-nanoka-hara-to-voice-the-main-heroine-of-makoto-shinkais-new-film-suzume-no-tojimari |website=Crunchyroll |date=July 4, 2022 |access-date=July 4, 2022 |archive-date=July 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705001244/https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/07/04-1/18-year-old-actress-nanoka-hara-to-voice-the-main-heroine-of-makoto-shinkais-new-film-suzume-no-tojimari |url-status=live}} On September 6, 2022, Hokuto Matsumura's role as Souta Munakata was revealed. He described the character as one that "[he] had never seen in any of the director's works". Therefore, Matsumura gave a voice for Souta that he "had never heard before," which involved using a slightly lower tone. Shinkai found his voice to be "impressive" and said that it "embodies the character".{{cite web |last=Komatsu |first=Mikikazu |title=Idol Group SixTONES Member Hokuto Matsumura Joins Makoto Shinkai's Suzume Anime Film |url=https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/09/05-1/idol-group-sixtones-member-hokuto-matsumura-joins-makoto-shinkais-suzume-anime-film |website=Crunchyroll |date=September 5, 2022 |access-date=September 6, 2022 |archive-date=September 6, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220906003505/https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/09/05-1/idol-group-sixtones-member-hokuto-matsumura-joins-makoto-shinkais-suzume-anime-film |url-status=live}} These were Hara and Matsumura's first anime voice-acting roles.

On Japanese review site Filmarks, Suzume received an average rating of 4.00/5 based on 6,585 user reviews, placing second in its first-day satisfaction ranking. Matt Schley of The Japan Times gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, and called it "the director's most satisfying work yet." He praised the art and animation, and while he described some of the dialogue as "cliche or cringe-worthy", he also felt that the film was "a bit more mature" than Shinkai's past films. Schley also found the film's climax "somewhat disturbing", and said that it might divide viewers on whether Shinkai "earns" it.{{cite web |last=Schley |first=Matt |title=Suzume: Makoto Shinkai reigns supreme as master of visuals |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2022/11/10/films/film-reviews/suzume/ |website=The Japan Times |date=November 10, 2022 |access-date=November 23, 2022 |archive-date=November 11, 2022 |archive-url= https://archive.today/20221111031833/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2022/11/10/films/film-reviews/suzume/ |url-status=live}} Richard Eisenbeis, writing for Anime News Network, graded the film "A", praising the story, characters, animation, and music, but found the plot structure to be similar to Your Name and Weathering with You, making the film "more predictable."
