Sea Drake

Beautiful! As expected from Makoto Shinkai.Shinkai’s take on magical realism is rather unique. In his stories, the magic thing is a notable new element in the characters’ lives. In Your Name, Taki and Mitsuha (who also make guest appearances in Weather with You) must actively deal with the disruption of having someone else occupy their bodies on some days, and in Weathering with You, when Hodoka realizes how Hina’s power works, he starts an online business to profit off her. Magic appears in these characters’ lives out of nowhere.
