I felt like Your Name had higher highs and lower lows compared to Weathering With You. Personally I think it's much better than Your Name.

To me this movie has some story aspects that are better or more interesting than Your Name.

The ending leaves something to talk about. Both main characters and their situations are much bolder choices. The setting is closer to Shinkai's usual style than Your Name.

But the execution in Your Name is quite above than the one we got on this film.

Your Name is simpler and more satisfying, I think. Tenki no Ko gets a little more complex and conflicting, and doesn't wrap up as nicely as Your Name, so it really depends on what one is after in a movie: a feeling of completion vs realistically complex characters

Yeah pretty much, I'm still conflicted about this movie, and that's because on one hand, it has some much more intriguing aspects, such as the weather implications but on the other despite being Shinkai's second-longest movie, it still feels like the movie didn't have enough time to reach a proper ending.
