* AnAesop: There are several messages that the film wanted to point out to the audience:
** Continuing from ''Anime/YourName'' is that finding a job in a large city like Tokyo is harder than it looks, especially if you have a shady past, lack the necessary identification, or just have an undesirable appearance. No one would accept Hodaka working with them, [[EveryoneHasStandards not even]] the {{Yakuza}}, because he has no credential of any kind as he's a runaway minor, and only Suga and Natsumi would take him in because Suga happened to take a liking to Hodaka earlier. Natsumi herself also struggles to find a job of her own - despite her determination - because she lacked the necessary skills and experience. Suga doesn't fare any better as he was refused work contacts multiple times because of his shady appearance and unhealthy lifestyle (which also prevents him from seeing his sick daughter as well). Lastly, [[spoiler:Hina had to lie about her age just to get accepted for a job at a fast-food restaurant, and they fired her immediately once they discovered her forged info. Also, due to lying about her age, she was preyed on by a couple of thugs who tries to coerce her into prostitution.]]
** Nature is not something to be played with. Even if Hina could change the weather for the better, [[spoiler:she would have to pay for it with her life once she used her power one too many times.]] We have to learn to let nature run its course and avoid trying to alter it to our liking, as it would bring nothing but destruction.
** Don't shoulder responsibility all by yourself. [[spoiler:Hina has come to enjoy using her power to change the weather to make people happy, but this comes at the cost of making her weaker and weaker until it eventually claims her life. In the climax, Hodaka finally manages to convince her to make herself happy for once, and Hina finally wishes for them to be back together.]]
** Every action has consequences. Hodaka runs away from home [[spoiler:and later come into possession of a gun and almost shot someone with it, something that is bound to be noticed by the police, especially since it was caught on CCTV. Suga being a heavy drinker and smoker resulted in him not being able to see his daughter who has asthma. The cost of Hina using her power one too many times resulted in her disappearing, and Hodaka trying to bring her back to life undid the sunny weather that was given by her sacrifice, and Tokyo fell into a never-ending rainfall that eventually floods the city. Also, everyone who assisted Hodaka in escaping the police was arrested in the end.]]

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: The light novelization has the FramingDevice of being recounted by the 18 year old Hodaka, although there are a number of scenes in the book that he did not witness and is unlikely to have known the details of.

* SenpaiKohai: After learning that Nagi is far more capable at interacting with girls than he is, Hodaka refers to him as "senpai" for the rest of the movie.

* TooLongDidntDub: In the English dub, Hodaka still calls Nagi [[SenpaiKohai "senpai."]] The subtitles also leave this untranslated, and neither explains the joke (normally a senpai is someone older and more experienced, but Nagi is several years younger than Hodaka). By contrast, in the Russian dub Hodaka calls Nagi "professor".

** In one instance, some of Hina's weather clearing business clients are some cosplayers who cosplayed the characters from ''Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure''. Cosplayers doing Aqua from ''LightNovel/{{Konosuba}}'' and Music/HatsuneMiku pass by in the same scene, while a Franchise/{{Godzilla}} is in the background.

** The Nozomi Slope made famous by ''LightNovel/HowToRaiseABoringGirlfriend'' appears in the weather clearing montage.

* LoveHotels: [[spoiler:when Hodaka, Hina and Nagi go on the run]], one of these is the only place that will take them in without asking for ID or other inconvenient questions. The room they get has a jacuzzi, karaoke system and its own food and drink vending machines, and nothing untoward happens.

* UptownBoy: Hodaka is, depending on how much money his family has, an upper-middle class boy with issues that are not too dissimilar to that of a LonelyRichKid.
