Watched Suzume a few days ago. It was a good surprise.
Some thoughts on it (beware spoilers)
Pretty good imo. Drama, comedy and suspense well-balanced, and it could tell quite a lot of the background story by show-don't-tell. Might also need to rewatch it though, as some details felt a bit on the air, like the storm seemingly being foreboding, and if it is tied to a certain detail on the later half of the movie. Or a scene just with Suzume near the ending, which I feel like there could be two interpretations, one that ties twice back in the beginning of the movie.Also special note about visuals and audio directions, which were fantastic. The big angle shots give a good perspective of scale, backgrounds feel hand-drawn (or as if someone spent far too long refining each image), 3D felt either kept to a minimum or well hidden, and the instrumental vocals sure add to when they appear.
Also wonder if someone/the team involved with Suzume the movie was also involved with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. The story flow, the juxtaposition of daily life and the fantastic, the switching of tones, the scenic views, sounds including music playing only if needed, even the art style all feel oh so very vaguely familiar...
