Kimi no Na Wa.

Are there any reviews by reputable film critics? I can only find reviews by random bloggers. Is it a good film?

>>148957043
It won't reach Spirited Away. Spirited Away made 30 Billion. This will most likely halt the last week of November at 21 Bil. Still a fucking huge blockbuster.

Ponyo sucked dick (but was 100 times better animated than Shinkai movie so it was ok to watch it just for that)

>>148957662
This. Kimi is mediocre.

Well deserved.

>>148957332
It's a great film and definitely the best of Shinkai so far

>>148957795
That BBC is article is plain horrible with basic facts fucked up. You must be kidding

>>148957795
It's Avatar in anime version: great style, but cliche and thin as fuck in terms of story.

>>148957332
No it's inferior to Koe and Kizu on an artistic level.

It made 10 Billion Yen 9 days faster than Frozen, which is the third highest grossing film in the Japanese Box Office.

Frozen took 37 days to make 10 Billion.

Kimi no Na wa. only took 28 days.

Frozen ended its run with 25.48 Billion grossed, putting it behind only Spirited away (30.4 Billion) and Titanic (26.2 Billion).

At the rate it's going, Kimi no Na wa. will beat Frozen and Titanic, and at the very least it will come VERY CLOSE to Spirited Away's earnings.

Every fucking thread...

I hope this will make Crunchy Roll decide to start streaming movies.

>>148958067
They have been. Crunchy has all the Shinkai movies save Garden of Words, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, and a bunch of other stuff.

>>148958067
Movie streaming is a lot more expensive than seasonal trash anime. I don't see them getting rights to recently released movies. I mean they don't even do OVAs.

meanwhile, Koe no Katachi slipped to the 8th place (still ahead of GANTZ:O, only live action movies and Kimi no na wa before it).

Perhaps it will be the last time that it will rank in the top 10.

El jardín de las palabras was also pretty good.

>Shinkai
>Jin-Roh
I hope you just phrased that wrong

This hasn't got subs yet has it?
Surprised to see the female lead is actually voiced by a literal who.

>>148959216
No you just misread what I wrote. Of course I know Mamoru Oshii made Jin-Roh.

>>148959323
It does have subs, but the only way to watch it is through a shit quality, hardsubbed, and watermarked chinkrip.

>>148957963
I haven't seen it but this sounds like the perfect description.

>>148957043
ok

Mone Kamishiraishi had her big break recently in the live-action Chihayafuru movies as Kanade Ooe. Before that she gained traction through a few small roles. Shinkai noticed her talent and cast her as Mitsuha, and the rest is history.

Seriously how? It wasn't a bad movie by any means, but the amount of success it has is insane.

It's a decent movie, but it's really nothing standout that would warrant all this attention.

>>148959610
Well I thought it was fantastic and believe it deserves the praise and success it's getting so we'll agree to disagree.

>>148959323
BDs won't be out for another few months at least.

>>148957963
in other words you didn't watch the movie or you're artistically illiterate

>>148957043
>My God, this movie's gonna beat Spirited Away at the rate it's going.
Rightfully so, Spirited Away was certainly not among my favourite Ghibli movies.

It's simply zeitgeist. Something becomes so successful because it happens to be delivered at the right moment socially, politically, and/or culturally.

Look at the target demographics and who is going to watch the film. Broad appeal, family friendly, a huge market in young adults with the disposable income to spend on such entertainment who crucially are interested in such things. Relatively speaking if we compared the success of this is it any greater than something in the past? Japan has had its sci-fi era, its Godzilla era, and now the current trends and moods happen to be something where this movie in particular seems to tap hence its success.

>>148959967
>and believe

It doesn't matter what you believe which of course you're admitting is biased.

This is something which can be clearly examined from a sociological point of view and to determine its success should be how it is examined. There was a reason why Godzilla movies were/are so popular and emerged in post-war, post-atom bomb Japan not because DUDE GIANT MONSTERS LMAO.

I hope this will make the rest of the industry start to realize that cheap and quick isn't always the best or even only way to go
