How did this get popular in the mainstream given it basically

The red string of fate is a very popular concept in asian countries.

I'm saying despite that. The movie hits so many anime cliches that people hate ala the breast groping shit that happens throughout the entire movie. Alongside that you have the high school based setting which people also dislike.
I have no idea how this got mainstream.

truth is that the government is so desperate to raise population levels, they're now paying studios to make anime about total strangers going up to each other to fuck and make babies even if they have to use the excuse that they knew each from a previous lifetime. things are that bad

What people? /a/?

I don't understand how it's popular either. The plot is linear, characters are a mess, and I can't believe it took them how fucking long to go meet each other?

>the high school based setting which people also dislike
People love high school, especially in Japan. But even in America there are tons of popular mainstream books and movies that take place in high school. I don't think most of the world would be very prudish about the breast scene either. They are teenagers switching bodies, it would be a little silly to pretend they weren't curious about other's body.

Who the hell dislikes high school settings? It's the easiest way to get character interaction.

Because people actually like this stuff
Samething with fanservice in general, people love, it's just that they don't like to be overwhelmed by too much of it, and this barely had any at all
>>154603234
I understand that people here believe that anything we like the mainstream public despises, but that's not true

If all of /a/ were to bodyswap with a qt gril i'm confident 99% of them would grope themselves within the first minute.

Every person in the world would do that.
