the music montage in the middle would have been extended over 6 episodes or so

The montage was such a tease.

I'd love to see more, but I wonder how long before it'd be too much.

I'm no LN fag for this, but from what I understand there could be enough source material for a short 6-10 episode anime. But honestly, that would be stretching it for me, because that would just leave more room for error.

>>155730755
I was thinking the same. I feel like sticking with the story for a couple of weeks would make the ending that much more worth it, but I can't help but feel like the whole switching bodies scenario's been worn out to the point that it would've been dismissed as just another cliche seasonal anime

That montage was enough to show you how their relationship grew.
If you were to stretch it, then they would have to focus on the other characters and probably add more backstory to Mitsuha's family.

>>155731122
this.

The movie really did a good job of leaving you wanting more, but giving you exactly as much as you needed for the story to progress and setup their connection for later in the movie.

Why do they keep drawing Mitsuha in bondage?

I don't think it would have gone as well.

It worked very well as a short, self-contained story that was designed to grab you, make you like the characters, and then hit you with the ending.

Stretching it out over months would not have had the same impact. 23 minutes a week doesn't make you quite as attached to the characters, since you have a week in which to watch other shows, do other things, and then pop back in for another small chunk.

The weekly format works well for concepts that need more time to develop a more complicated story or shows that want to rely on cliffhangers, but this story didn't need to be much longer and it didn't need cliffhangers.

One of the hardest things to do in a story is cut unnecessary content, and I think they did particularly well with this film. It was relatively short, but very impactful. It punched well above its weight, and that's one of the things that makes it remarkable. A longer format runs the risk of straying off topic or including less relevant content, distracting audiences.

>>155731122
Yeah, I have this very dueling feeling where I would've loved to see more of the two of them learning to deal with the switching and falling in love with each other, but that would either delay the reveal of the big twist or have to be awkwardly shoehorned in after the twist.

The greatest crime IMO is that there's no longer, full-length version of Dream Lantern.

has anybody seen it subbed in theaters?

I'm really, really hoping that the song lyrics are subbed in the official movie like they are in some online versions.

>>155739471

They're subtitled.

>>155739471
Every song except one was subtitled iirc.

>focuses on Mitsuha (Taki) side of events
Are you talking about when Taki was running around town trying to save everyone? I find it hard to see how you could span that out a whole novel. Unless it is just the part where Taki is in Mitsuhas body in general.

>>155739649
Recall how Taki's first bodyswap into Mitsuha was never really shown in the movie. It was just kinda explained by Sayaka and Tessi to the real Mitsuha.

Apparently Taki recognized Mitsuha's struggles as he body swapped and slowly began to understand and love her. Earthbound documents that part of the story. Also, Earthbound talks about how Yotsuha does some funky ass shit with Shinto Gods.

Well the other bigger thread got pruned for some reason, so time for full-time posting here.

To the anon who was asking to be shilled on the movie, in case they show up: it will make you feel happy.

So this movie made me wanna learn moon speak so I can understand shit better because I feel both the sub and dub miss out on some shit or fail to get across the proper intent.

Anyone else had to pay an extra $5 for the singles section? I was quite embarrassed when the movie employee chuckled when I asked for one. When I was watching the movie I realized everyone there were couples except for me. I had to sit through the entire movie feeling stares and hearing laughs directed at me.

>>155739954
what the hell kind of movie theatre has "singles and couples sections"?
that's weird

>>155739954
What the hell? never heard of that before.

I just saw it tonight with a couple friends and the only people alone were some dude in front and some girl a few rows below us. Didn't think much of the dude, but seeing a girl alone in a theater was definitely an odd thing to see.

>>155739954
It's extra because it guarantees you a private stall in the shower instead of having to share open space.

>>155739954
I'm pretty sure that's not a thing, and that you somehow bought a senior citizen ticket.

>>155739954
I only paid 3 dollars extra. Some high school kids laughed at me when I waited in the singles line but it was easily worth it. 10/10 Movie.
>>155739897
Yeah I don't know why they do that. I think 4chan has too many janitors and they remove random threads/posts based on their own feelings. The global rules are way too vague to follow.

>>155740084
you should have raped her

>>155739855
>Yotsuha does some funky ass shit with Shinto Gods.

>>155740084

>>155739954

stop it. this is not a thing.

>>155730750
I'm looking forward to a manga adaptation; the one for 5 cm was very nice, and written by Shinkai. It had a lot of extra stuff beyond what the movie did.

>>155740138
That'll teach her

>>155739559
Really? When I went only Dream Lantern got subtitled, and I think Nandemonaiya got subtitles for the credits. Kind of sucked we didn't get the other two; really would have liked Sparkle in particular.

>>155740213
What was the extra stuff?

>>155740026
If you buy a singles ticket the theater also has to perform a mandatory penis inspection to check if you're a virgin. It's a little intrusive, but I understand they don't have a choice.

>>155740138
She was at least a 6/10, but had to have been at least 30, and was super awkward looking. I'll pass on that one famalam

>>155740177
I found it kind of corny that they ended it by saying "whats YOUR NAME" like "HAHA SEE WHAT WE DID THERE"

>>155740254
dumb bitch deserved it for breaking social norms

>>155740306
For 5 cm, quite a bit actually. Main two were that the third part of the movie gets a lot of expansion; its mainly a montage in the movie, but its as substantial as the other parts in the manga. Big focus on his ex-girlfriend, the glasses girl. She's pretty great in her own right, while she was a minor character in the movie. And there's an entire chapter that takes place after the movie's ending, which serves as a kind of epilogue. Very nice, if the movie's ending caused you despair.

And plus, since its a manga, you get more dialogue and feelings vocally expressed. There's other little details that are nice; off the top of my head, there's a few page scene that shows how he actually did date girls throughout college, and that he did eventually get a confession from the second girl but rejected her.

>>155740096

I'm guessing it's because the OP was interpreted as a shitpost, and the janitor assumed the entire thread was such.

>>155740407
>And there's an entire chapter that takes place after the movie's ending, which serves as a kind of epilogue. Very nice, if the movie's ending caused you despair.

Sorry for asking you to feed me but what happens in the epilogue?

>>155740178
it really is a thing in some theaters

>>155740482
Chapter's from the perspective of the second girl, Kanae, as an adult. She musters up the courage to go to Tokyo and try and find Takaki, though she realizes its futile and moves on. However, in the last page you see a guy's shoes stopping, and her getting up with a shocked face. Obviously, they meet up, and presumably get together.

>>155739954
>mfw two of the people who came with me would not shut the fuck up

I'm felt so bad for everyone in the movie. They did quiet down at the last 30~ minutes after other people in our group told them to shut up.

Other than that it was a good movie. I'm actually thinking of watching it again in theaters It shows for 3 more days so I got time to decide. Does anyone know when the BD are coming out in Japan though? I'll probably buy it when it comes to the west but I don't want to wait a year to watch it again.

>>155730677
and it would've been fantastic

Reposting this from archive for everyone who like me didn't catch it before janny went full retard and deleted a nice 9 hour old thread about the movie.

That's not written by Shinkai though. I don't know if it is even considered canon.

>ywn be gifted a hair ribbon thrown by a qt
On the bright side, the final piece of the movie's paradoxical time cycle just clicked for me: The body-swapping events of the movie were triggered by Mitsuha giving her ribbon to Taki.

In light of that, it seems all the stranger to me that Taki and Mitsuha finally met in Tokyo 5/8 years after he gave her back the ribbon, rather than 3/6 years--since he had held onto it for 3.

Short or long hair Mitsuha?

What was the significance of the sliding doors?

wouldnt the giving the ribbon bit be earlier, not at the start of when they swapped

>>155742988
Nice dubs anon, you are correct. My friends made the same mistake and thought they were the same age in the same year. Guess they didn't want to believe in an older girl/younger guy relationship. She gives him the ribbon the day before she dies to the comet.

>>155742988
>>155743035

Your misinterpretation arises from the rough nature of my chart. What I'm trying to illustrate is that Mitsuha gave Taki her Ribbon, and then 3 years later they started swapping.

>>155745288
the characters have very authentic and lively personalities, which is why this is Shinkai's most successful project.

>>155745223

Absolutely true.

>>155745288

The trouble is that you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>155745288

Your only remotely valid point is the asspulls, but there was only one prolific one (disappearing phone memos)

>>155730576
Anyone see it in theaters yet, is it dubbed or subbed?

>>155746168

Many of us have. And I've seen both.

>>155746168
saw it subbed in theaters over the weekend, been watching the 720p watermarked rip ever since.

Definitely go to a theater or wait for BD rips for your first viewing.

I may go back to the theater to catch the dub so I don't have to wait to hear that tasty Zhu-li inside my waifu

>>155740178
Some theatres and releases in the US have rules against singles/single guys

>>155730576
That's roughly 5 hours of animation. That'd be way too much for the story.

At most, the movie needed another half hour to do so minor exposition of certain topics and that's it.
>Why did Taki fall in love with Mitsuha at all?
>Why did Mitsuha fall in love with Taki?
>Why can't they remember their respective frames of time and remember the cataclysm of Mitsuha's town? (Something something hard to remember the "dreams"; just needed slightly more clarification)
>How much of Mitsuha's family has had body-jumping experiences?
>How did Mitsuha convince her dad to evacuate the town?

There's not much to polish the story with. It didn't need much fixing, even if Shinkai felt he didn't have enough time to perfect it.

Sure faggots tell me what are the great themes of the movie other than being the same shitty teenage romance. LOVE WINS and shit like that huh?

The characters seemed to have a bit of personality in the beginning, especially the girl with her hate for the little and traditional village she lives in plus her conflicted relationship with the father.
The boy has almost 0 fucking personality tho, his bruise and his love for the waitress is all we have before the real plot kicks in leaving no space for character development.

>but there was only one prolific one (disappearing phone memos)
No, what I mean is that a lot of shit happens at fucking random, magic is too much of an asspull and it doesn't follow some sort of logic or pattern. Ok, I get the body swap, that's the incipit of the story and it's explained, but fuck what's with losing the memories happening at random and in the most important moments? What's with them being able to meet during the sunset and the main character knowing it? What's with her father suddenly accepting to help her offscreen without showing how?

>>155745483
Yeah that's it, without the nice visuals and music it would be just an anime twilight, some cheesy romantic story for teenagers. Don't fucking pretend it's a masterpiece

>>155746541
It's about soulmates. And long distance relationships, I suppose. The plot expresses the notion of searching for your "other half" with the body swapping thing.

Then, the characters drift through life feeling that they're fated to meet someone, but then don't know who (or when). Much like real life but with a happy ending.

Those are the themes, like it or not. It's not about racism or poverty or other mature themes for mature viewers. Maybe you don't like romance unless it has extraneous themes thrown in.

>>155746277
Where the fuck do you live? I grew up in the Chicago area and have never heard of this.

>>155746541
In regards to the memory loss and stuff, the whole body swap thing was supposed to be akin to dreams. And even though you may have vivid memories of a dream just after it had happened, it won't be long until you forget most of it afterwards.

The sunset thing was the whole magic hour thing so that explains why they were able to cross paths. If you're willing to accept body swapping, there's no reason why time rift bullshit shouldn't be acceptable.

And with the father accepting her argument offscreen, during the initial confrontation, he mentioned how it wasn't his daughter. We can only assume that once Mitsuha regained control of her body, her father could now sense it was her.

>>155739954
fuck off to /r9k/

>>155746541
>losing the memories happening at random and in the most important moments
They probably had to leave their memories behind in the "underworld" since it was what was the most important to them

>being able to meet during the sunset and the main character knowing it
His teacher explained that twilight is traditionally a special time where magical things can happen

>her father suddenly accepting to help her offscreen without showing how
It would have messed up the flow of the ending if they showed that

>>155747249
It's a retarded /tv/ meme. Ignore it.

>How would this have played out if it were stretched over 12 episodes?
