What's the last anime movie you seen in theaters, /a/nons?

The Digimon Tri movie that was ruined by a couple of whales in the back who commentated the entire time

Ponyo and it wasn't that good.

Paprika.

>>149958683
I was tempted to see Doukyuusei until I realized that the theater was going to be filled with smelly, shrieking fujoshit.

Kaguya-hime, which was ruined by some asshole who talked through the entire thing. Movie theatres are the fucking worst unless there's nobody else there.

>>149958423
Love Live movie
Literally the only one I saw in theaters, all other films usually make it too late when BD subs are already downloadable

>>149959842

>>149958423
Have only seen two in theaters, first was a dubbed Yu-Gi-Oh! movie I saw when I was alot younger that came with two free cards, shit was great.
Last one was fairly recently, saw DBZ Resurrection F with some friends and had fun. We all got nostalgic and got drunk after.

Kizu on oct 29th

I watched Kiki's Delivery Service at the Alamo last week, and the second Kizu movie there a few weeks before that.

Seeing Kimi no Na Wa next week, there's a cinema that's always empty showing it with subs.

None, they don't show anime movies here. I'll go see the live action GitS if it's showing here though.

Love Live film. Cried during the ending/credits. Was fantastic.

Last thing I saw was Kizu part 2. I'm hoping we get Kimi no Na Wa and Koe no Katachi somewhere near Atlanta too. I'd rather see them in theaters than watch BD rips.

>>149962580
It's probably going to be showing here too, but I'd rather die than watch that abomination. Also the theatre is going to be filled with hipster kid and that kind of bullshit.

None. Missed my chance to watch the HxH movie years ago.

But I plan to see Kimi no Na Wa if they plan to release it next month near my city.

Man I'm so jelly that you guys get so many anime movies in your countries. I have to be thankful that Dragon Ball and maybe Miyazaki movies get screened in my country.

Can't wait to see it again when it's already subbed

Never seen an anime in theaters, now that I think of it. I'll probably see Kimi no Na Wa in a theater though, provided it shows up close enough to where I live (they showed Shin Godzilla in a theater about 20 minutes away from me, so hopefully Kimi will show up there too)

How can you look like a humongous faggot when watching a Monogatari movie on the big screen?

Hell, GuP had normal people in my audience when I watched it and only 6 people were in that theater.

>>149969572
Mine had like 10-12 people.

Bleach, maybe? This is a small city. We don't get anything but blockbusters.

I saw GuP today. Weird audience, of the 20~ people there, half were the 20-somethings you'd expect and half were 60+ year-olds.

>>149969712
>half were 60+ year-olds
They probably thought it was a WWII movie or something.

>>149958800
Huh, that was my last one too, except the Disney nostalgia hit me so hard I was literally in tears by the 7th minute.

>>149958423
You should've just spent your money in a better experience. Like paying for the Monogatari movie experience instead. It has intellectually moving pieces that really make you think. Also has the better quality sales overall.

>live in South Carolina
>tfw no theaters that play Anime movies

saw Spirited Away at a local theater pub around 2 months ago. was pretty fun, got to watch it with a buddy, it was both of our first times watching it. definitely plan on checking out Kimi ni no Wa next year.

Kizu Pt. 2. Would have loved to see GuP in theater but it was showing dubbed.

Actually question. To those that saw it what did they do with that Katyusha instrumental bit when Pravda showed up to the match? Was it tetris again or did they keep it in?

Last few movies I saw in theaters were Only Yesterday, Kizu pt 1, and Boy and the Beast. Can't remember what order, though.

Also, reminder to all burgers to catch Spirited Away in theaters on December 5th

when I was in sasebo I saw evangelion 3.0 on the night of its release.

I don't even know japanese. Boy... what a ride.

Watched Kaguya Hime's North America debut at the Toronto Intl. Film Fest.

For the most part it was pretty good, Takahata was also there for the debut and answered some questions. He said he wanted to make more films but it depends on the funding he'll get now that Ghibli is ded.

None, I live in the middle of nowhere and anime movies never get shown nearby. One of the theaters about a bit over an hour from me says their going to show spirited away for the 15 anniversary which would be the first time an anime to get shown there but it's going to be dubbed so I doubt it would be worth the drive.

Best (or worst) of all was that I didn't even know he was going to be there. I attempted going to some disgusting weebfest, and then there he was.

>>149990100
>>150013623
You faggots are lucky I wrote this beforehand.

>The first thing that I must address is that yes, this movie is connected to The Five Star Stories, an extremely long-running manga created by its director, Mamoru Nagano. For me, my only exposure to FSS was the very old 80s movie, which I found to be visually gorgeous but very lacking as a story. However, the mecha designs and thin characters of that movie left a very strong impression on me, and I've admired Nagano's mechanical designs a fair bit on paper since. Unfortunately, I have not read the manga because I've heard it still ongoing and most of it has not been translated. Even though it wasn't advertised as being connected to FSS, it may affect your overall impression of the movie depending on whether or not you're a fan. More details to follow.

>Although my understanding of Japanese is quite limited, the movie was straightforward enough for the most part where my lack of understanding didn't make a huge difference to the overall experience. The story is just as it sounds from the synopsis- there really aren't any twists or turns until the ending. For most of the story, the two main characters go on a trip, stopping at certain locations to meet the locals or get food, or to bicker with each other over their roles as warrior and pacifist. It was a very dialogue and scenery heavy movie, and there wasn't much deep drama or action at all despite the premise. However, it was very relaxing, and the overall atmosphere and world building was well done. The characters were likeable, though I didn't really understand much of what they were talking about outside of their motions and expressions.

>>150014561
>For anyone who expects a lot of robot action or fancy flashy sakuga- don't go within an inch of this movie. The only real action that takes place is at the end of this movie, where the giant robots finally come out. And oh, what beautiful giant robots they are. The startup sequence of the main robot with all its moving sensors and changing colors, with the roaring SFX that accompanied it gave me goosebumps. When the mecha moved, it was unlike anything I'd seen before- the movements were quick and erratic, but in each of these movements you can see tons of mechanical bits shifting in tandem with one another. They moved so quickly that it looked like they teleported, but don't think it's anything like the fight scenes from DBZ. The mecha never once "freeze" in frame, when they "teleport" you can see how all the joints move to realign and reposition themselves and brace for the impact of each hit as they disappear from point A and reappear at point B. Each hit felt heavy, and the sound effects really contributed to it. It was very different from the slow clunkers in the old FSS movie. But like the old FSS movie, the whole fight lasts in a couple minutes, with the lead robot effortlessly smacks the blue and red ones like flies. It almost felt like the actual combat sequence was shorter than the start-up sequence! Whether it was intentional or it was budgetary constraints I'm not sure, but if you're watching the movie just to get to this 2 minutes of action it won't be enough to satisfy you. Thankfully, there were a lot of other aspects of this movie that I really liked.

>>150014574
First of all, the art and designs are gorgeous. Even if you don't like Nagano's design aesthetic or how he draws characters and machines, the background art alone is jaw-dropping, like something you would expect from Ghibli. Thankfully I'm accustomed to Nagano's art so seeing it placed in front of these gorgeous backgrounds only served to enhance the experience. However I've also seen many people get turned off of this movie because of the artstyle, and they try to use either the old FSS movie or a modern anime filled with CGI backgrounds and digital filters as comparison points. Neither of those are valid comparisons because this is a movie made after the cel era, but with no digital filters whatsoever. So by comparison, it will look bland to those who want something more shiny and modern, or those who want the shading-heavy era of the cel days. If the art is not to your liking, chances are you won't enjoy this movie at all.

>>150014588
>The animation was also quite different than what I was used to. While there weren't many action scenes other than the aforementioned mecha battle, there was a decent amount of character animation. The characters "act" with their whole body, and when they stand still you can still see their clothes and hair fluttering in the wind. How they emote with their eyes and mouth was also very detailed. Background characters had a good amount of movement as well, except in large crowd scenes where they often stood still, which I still find preferable to CGI crowds like what we got recently from Hosoda's movies. What was most impressive for me though was the background animation. In many scenes, you can see how the wind moves and carries dust or leaves or seeds with it, or how streams and bodies of water moved, but my favorite scene in particular was when it was raining and the two main characters were outside. The rain wasn't animated like normal, where it would just go down in even layers. Instead, the rain had variation in how it fell, with some spots having heavier downpour than others and spreading in certain directions. However, many of the scenes had rather rough transitions and often times characters would stand still to observe things or comment on something for long periods of time. Other times ships would slide across the screen for a considerable few seconds with not much to look at. The camerawork was also very modest, at most it would pan up or down and in and out, but never was there any kind of moving camera shot animation shot you would expect to see in a higher-budget movie. In a lot of ways it felt like old Disney movies, but not with the same energy. And I think that's how I would sum up the animation- well-done but not very energetic.

>>150014601
>Sound design, as I hinted before when talking about the robots, was very good. You can hear all of the background noises being associated with nature in most scenes- the wind blowing, streams of water gushing, sand piling, etc. The voice actors were all quite good to, but looking at their past work they're all very old industry vets so it's to be expected. The music was mostly ethnic/middle eastern, but the songs that were sung in the MC like what was heard in the trailers was beautiful. There were also a few techno tracks when the robots showed up that I felt were out of place, but I suppose the robots themselves were kind of out-of-place with this movie.

>So far, my review has been mostly positive, but there is huge problem that must be talked about, and that is the ending. This is where my lack of knowledge on FSS bites me in the butt. In the ending, a boatload of new characters and mecha we haven't seen before show up, including the two main characters and the original mecha from the old FSS movie! Most of them were just standing around, but I had no idea what was going on and it really left me confused. Unfortunately this soured my overall impression of the movie. Maybe fans of FSS would really appreciate this scene because they know who all the characters are, but for me and I assume most of the audience, it was the equivalent of a "Gainax Ending". Add that to the short runtime of only barely over an hour with credits (and a mecha battle that really didn't leave me satisfied) and it feels like the whole movie was incomplete.

>If this were the first episode in a full length anime series, I would give it an 10/10. But as a standalone movie, it just doesn't really work. However, it's merits outweigh it's flaws, and overall I had a really good time with it. I just wish there was more.

tldr; visually and artistically interesting if somewhat boring, but too short to be considered a fulfilling experience. And fuck that ending.

>>149958423

Did you like it more than the FSS movie?

>>150015430
Tough call. The old FSS movie was fucking beautiful with more likeable characters, but the plot was such a mess. Gothicmade takes itself more seriously and definitely feels more artistic, but was less fun to watch.

They both suffer from the same problems of being too tied to their source material though.

>>150015536
To be honest though, at this point I would much rather hand Mamoru Nagano $20 million and have him go nuts making a movie (not related to FSS) instead of giving it to either Shinkai or Hosoda or anyone else the public calls "the next Miyazaki". Gothicmade had the feel of a serious auteur behind it, and I think the short timeframe had a lot to do with insufficient budget. It feels like the type of movie Miyazaki would want to see more of instead of Your Name.

>>150015729
Hosoda was never an auteur, I don't know how you could even argue that. Every movie he's ever made since Girl who Lept Through Time has been to appeal to large audiences. He makes movies that exists only to sell.

Shinkai... I guess you could argue that he is kind of an auteur with his original movies, but he is so utterly devoid of unique ideas that all he does is rehash the same "distanced love with a twist" story, which doesn't really stand out to begin with. Honestly the only thing that made Shinkai stand out were his insanely detailed backgrounds, but as a storyteller and visual artist he is well below Hosoda and doesn't come within a mile of Nagano or Miyazaki.

If it weren't for that ending Gothicmade feels like something that could have been submitted to Cannes.

>>150015975
Oh, and now with Your Name selling like hotcakes Shinkai is forever cursed to make nothing but popcorn flicks like it over and over again. Whatever auteur status he had died with that movie's success.

On another note is the FSS manga worth reading? Gothicmade got me somewhat interested again but I really don't want to deal with the lack of scanlations.

>>150015600
I think they made the second Pokemon movie dated and a product of its time more than a good movie that can be timeless
