So is this like the greatest anime ever or something? Nips won't shut the fuck up about it. I can't wait to watch it.

Greatest Shinkai movie. Not greatest movie ever.
I asked my japanese colleague at work if she saw it, she said her daughter saw it because her boyfriend took her for her birthday.
We decided to go see it too.
This movie is huge on many levels, people don't count it into what otakus would like. It's on the same level as one of Miyazaki works, it might even be better because the design is much closer to regular anime TV, and it's a totally different storytelling. It's starting to blur the boundaries between otakus and people who simply like anime because they were raised with it.
I consider anime isn't only saved, it reached the next level in the Japanese's hearts.

>>148575611
>This movie is huge on many levels, people don't count it into what otakus would like

Your Name review: A reflection on youth, love, and finding yourself, Your Name will be mentioned in the same breath as the best work of Hayao Miyazaki.
http://www.thehollywoodnews.com/2016/10/14/your-name-review-lff-2016/
In terms of animation, the film is quite simply gorgeous.
Every frame is a painting of ingenious colour and striking lighting.
Whether it’s the movement of the protagonists, breathtaking vistas, or creative dream sequences,
the medium has been well selected as it’s able to capture the brightness and hope of youth as well as maturity and grandeur.
The story, when it wants to move at a faster pace, employs the music and original songs of Radwimps,
again capturing youth and maturity for this stunning coming of age tale.
Your Name deserves all the recognition it has been receiving and then some.
It is, without a hint of hyperbole, one of the greatest anime ever produced.
With gorgeous art, compelling characters, tragedy, humour, sci-fi and romance, Shinkai proves himself to be a master of all trades.
Your Name isn’t just a wonderful experience, but a magical escape into an inspiring tale.
A reflection on youth, love, and finding yourself, Your Name will be mentioned in the same breath
as the best work of Hayao Miyazaki, in spite of it’s unique tone and Shinkai’s individual voice.

>Shinkai proves himself to be a master of all trade
Shinkai confirmed for anime god and far above Miyazaki
What the fuck is it about? I read some fucked up summary somewhere, but don't know if it's accurate. A girl turns into a boy and vice versa or some shit?
>>148576625
No. A boy falls in love with a girl. Unable to confess, he's gifted with by a deus-ex-machina with the girl's number.

>>148576717
wut? then wat?
>>148576786
Why are you here anyway?
>>148575611
It only works because of how universal love stories are. It's why it can look like something otaku would enjoy but still have a mainstream reach.
At the end of the day being very successful depends on how inclusive the pandering is. Putting so much focus on profits wouldn't save anime, emulating the success of Kimi nonawa wouldn't be productive in any way.
>>148575304
>I can't wait to watch it.
Then go watch it?
>>148575636
>Koe no Bombtachi fag detected
Booked to see it in the UK in November. Pretty hyped.
...Except the uni anime club is group booking too and I hope I'm sitting far far away.
>>148577933
Speaking of love stories, it's funny that the day Shinkai decided to hold back on focusing too much on love stories, we got Kimi no na wa. His old movies were cheesy as fuck.
>>148575304
This is actually a movie that really does deserve all the praise and success it's getting.
I'm legitimately excited and happy for Shinkai that this movie is so adored.
>>148575611
comparing Shinkai to Miyazaki never fails to get me really upset
Is it just hype or is it actually good
I leave Japan tomorrow should I go see this at noon?
>>148582701
This. Miyazaki is a fucking hack.
>>148583379
stop it
>>148582775
Do it. For our sakes.
>>148583661
Miyazaki is /v/ related bulshit along with any other type of normalfaggotry
>>148575304
Yeah, and apparently /a/ won't shut the fuck up about it either
>>148583866
yeah man fuck the normalfags, you tell 'em
Here you are sempai http://gogoanime.ch/Watch/158346/kimi-no-na-wa-2016/hd/
>>148582774
It's really fucking good. Cried like a bitch....well. Not as bad as the Clannad after story flower field scene but still
>When your fetish becomes an anime classic
>>148588955
muh dick
>>148589045
I hope this movie did what Ranma did and creates a new generation of gender bender fetishists.
I'll need to see it , but I'm not convinced at all by Shinkai's previous works, they're always so overwrought, yet seemingly devoid of any real meaty content, I guess to call them pretentious would actually fit in his case.
That one movie that wanted so hard to be like Ghibli was fucking insulting to watch.
At least pairing up with Masayoshi Tanaka seems like a good match. It's odd he's done designs for two unrelated movies in the same year (two years?)
>>148589510
Forgot to add, I'm surprised to hear a bodyswap anime is apparently normalfag friendly
>>148589709
>Forgot to add, I'm surprised to hear a bodyswap anime is apparently normalfag friendly
>what is freaky friday, vice versa etc
it's a load of garbage if you ask me, it's just a cute story with lots of money behind it, your average Kyoto animation production as a movie
I like it anyways
>>148590738
>what is freaky friday, vice versa etc
Bodyswap between the same gender.
>>148576450
People think otaku is all that ecchi and wishfulfillment shit, not a teen romance.
>>148589709
Everything is ok if it's funny.
So many western comedy movies with so many questionable things happening but hey, it's funny, no feelings hurt, gather the whole family.
>>148593069
Watching Grown Ups 2 is like eating rat poison! It really is a good idea.

Prelude to a Kiss
>>148593443
... received a 39% audience score on rotten tomatoes.
>>148593636
A 90s movie starring Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan is about as normalfag as it gets regardless of quality.
Shinkai is literally mediocre.
>>148575611
>putting Shinkai to Miyazaki in the same sentence
Please kill yourself.
>>148576569
>Your Name will be mentioned in the same breath as the best work of Hayao Miyazaki.
so it's shit that non anime watching people like and praise?
(Mononoke Hime is the only good Gibli movie)
>>148594770
You shut your mouth.
>>148594770
hey that was my opinion when I was 13
