[16] 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. [16] In October 2022, Shinkai announced that production on the film was completed. [18] Characters[edit] A replica of the chair featured in Suzume, displayed at a Kinokuniya in Shinjuku 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. [13] 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. [19][20] Thus, making the partner a chair was decided upon both to avoid the film becoming "too much of a romance,"[19] and also to lighten the mood of the film, which would "inevitably become quieter" if the story focused on mourning a place. [13] Shinkai also considered other options for potential partners,[13] such as a partner that turns into a monster throughout the story, and other "inorganic partners" like a milk carton. [13] 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.
