What the fuck is the big deal about Kimi No Na Wa?

Shinkai pander to normalfags.

>>159802293

In no particular order:

>good plot
>characters actually acted like humans instead of robots
>good casting and voice acting
>twist is pretty good
>excellent visuals and music timing
>ends on a satisfying note

If I remember correctly, it has outsold every single Miyazaki film now and is one of the best sellers of all time for anime films.

Its pretty mediocre but it panders to the normalfags' emotional state of mind.

It's vanilla as shit and closer to a disney cartoon than other anime

also, fuck off normeddit

>>159802436
He's right though

Only retards love this sort of shit movie

>>159802530
Then why don't you love it?

>>159802293
Its visually impressive if all you care about is animation. So its basically like most of Miyazakis movies since those hardly ever have anything but their visuals either. In fact, Kimo no na wa has more plot and character depth that the vast majority of Miyazakis films. It could have been an unprecedented masterpiece, but then it didn't stop after 60 minutes and started to go full fucking retard.

>>159802530
I don't give a shit if he's right or wrong, he's a casual faggot who didn't know about a hugely popular anime that people have talked about every day for a year now. He needs to fuck off to wherever he came from.

Its a movie anybody can walk in and enjoy pretty well. Its a simply love story that anybody can enjoy.
Sure it doesn't have niche appeal and will probably be forgotten about by most people in a couple years but its still a very worthwhile film. Not to mention its visually impressive.

For what it's worth, the characters actually got a good bit of depth to them for such a short film, which made them interesting and easier to root for. Give me those two over self-insert LN protagonist niggers any day.

It's a nice movie about self-discovery, searching for purpose, and taking control of your fate. It also has two likable, well-acted leads, the animation is really good, the story takes an interesting turn halfway through and ends on a positive note that isn't overly saccharine. I also really liked the way it dealt with dreams and déjà vu. It was just a comfy and relatable movie.

Really?

Well, I can't speak for the "normie masses", hipsterfag, but how about I share what I liked about it?

>the protagonists are both human, understandable characters that actually feel real
>said protagonists are also given a nice deal of depth for a movie
>the relationship between the two builds steadily and in an enjoyable manner
>the twist is one of those punches that feels like it came out of nowhere, but was really hinted at the whole time
>the supernatural elements of the film doesn't impact the reality in a way that makes it feel "less" real
>the ending is just right; not overly mushy or retarded, but satisfying regardless

Not gonna lie, I fucking adored that movie despite being a negative, hopeless-feeling asocial asshole. I don't give a shit about what rewards it got or didn't get. I liked it, and that's what matters to me. You didn't like it, and that's all that should matter to you. Don't get assmad because you didn't like it while a lot of normies liked it; hipsters are retarded.

>>159807357
Yes. A lot of factors can make something entry-level. For example, I know several people who got into anime because Casshern Sins played on Toonami or whatever the fuck. Are you going to go act like that show is terrible now because it was aired on American TV for normalfags to watch?

I thought the gags were ok but when everyone in the theater laughed it made me not like it because they weren't appreciating the comedy on the intuitive level of Japanese culture. Ultimately this led me to not liking the movie as much either. Too much normalfags enjoying the movie for all the wrong reasons made me question if this movie was a genuine piece of work, or merely a quasi-Japanese film intended to appeal to westerners because it's foreign.

meh.

>>159807195
Wanted to post to second this, actually. Pokemon is an "entry-level" RPG and monster-catch-and-train game. That doesn't mean that it's bad, by any stretch of the word.

That doesn't refute his statement though and the statement itself isn't a negative. Objectively speaking, Kimi no na wa is grander than KnK because they were both made to be different types of films.

They were also both objective garbage, and Kimi No Na Wa is easier to laugh at due to how many more people it managed to sucker.

>>159808985
Really? Your Name had more acclaim from critics and fans. I saw both in theaters and went in expecting a good film, which I got, but not the kind of emotional rollercoaster that Your Name took me on.

>>159808985
Koe no Katachi has much more niche appeal than KnNw. Obviously people who don't really see themselves in KnK isn't going to enjoy it more than the more broad appeal of KnNw.

>>159809152
Yeah honestly KnK in some ways is taking on a bigger challenge than Your Name in how it presents a cast of characters that have committed incontrovertibly evil acts upon one another and asks you to empathize with their journeys to redemption. But then again, structurally, it's very simple in comparison.

>>159802700
You shouldn't make assumptions like that. I don't know about it. My reason? I don't watch much anime; I come here to talk about manga.

The Titanic of anime. Good movie that turned into a phenomenon for no real reason. Sometimes a good love story just sticks with the public because everyone loves a good love story. Its not some masterpiece and even Shinkai admits that. Which isn't a knock on Shinkai at all, not everything is going to be Spirited Away.

>normie
Youre a faggot and should leave.

>>159809258

Literally only one character seeks redemption, and that's part of what makes him the best of the lot. Everyone else was either actively continuing to be an asshole (Ueno), pretending that they didn't do anything (Kawai), running the fuck away whenever shit ran south (Sahara), or was standing around being a moe plot device instead of an actual character (Shouko).

>>159802473

>and even Shinkai admits that
Not gonna lie, the fact that he didn't get all pretentious about it (to the point of actively resisting the title of "the second Miyazaki") made me like the dude. He's alright. So's his stuff.

>>159809568
It's just nip culture to always refuse praise. He only did his part, especially when he's being compared to Miyazaki.

>>159809409
What is it about Spirited Away that makes everyone consider it to be a masterpiece? Is it the world building and animation? I'm not saying I dislike it. I just don't really find it to even be close to some of Miyazaki's greats like Castle of Cagliostro, Totoro, or Kiki's Delivery Service.

>>159802293
Compared to the great many series that are about looking at girl's panties, being reborn in a world that sucks your cock constantly, that are literally about peeing on other people, or that are trying to hard to be edgy-- why wouldn't this win?

The anime medium is generally worse than other mediums, to the point where even a normal story without obnoxious falsities is going to win out. Kimi No Na Wa was by no means great, but it was pretty okay and much better than most anime airing this season.

Not him, but

By merely existing, she puts a burden on everyone around her due to her deafness. Because of this, she becomes entirely passive as to not burden other people even further. Because of this passiveness, the people around her had a hard time getting close to her and empathizing with her, leading to more bullying. Then she saw her former bully, Ishida, become the victim of bullying as well. Her outburst towards Ishida is when Ishida finally learned the consequences of his actions which is a key theme in the movie.
Fast forward to when she meets Ishida again, she is still entirely passive, so when Ishida is obviously troubled by something she doesn't reach out to him as to not burden him or press him into doing something. After the bridge scene, due to her passiveness again, she sees Ishida break down in front of the entire group and push everyone away, and in turn hide his true feelings in front of Shouko. This pushed Shouko into thinking that Ishida and the people around her will never be happy if she is around and tried to kill herself.

After the suicide attempt, she takes Ueno's advice and becomes much more proactive, trying to repair all the relationships Ishida had with the group and goes out of her way to support Ishida.

Really the message of the movie is to stop being selfish with your own troubles and open up to others because keeping them to yourself just hurts others and yourself.

>>159809509

At what point of my post where I said the film "presents a cast of characters that have committed incontrovertibly evil acts upon one another" did it suggest to you I was absolving any them of responsibility for their actions?

>>159811024
Passivity or timidity are common personality traits

>>159810111
>How does Shouko grow or develop meaningfully as a character in Koe no Katachi?
She takes action while Ishida is in a come, and tries to bring the group back together. In the manga she also does other things which were from a cut sub-plot. She starts opening to people but by bit, and stops putting on the fake smile smiles. At the end she is dragging Ishida around the school and helping him deal with his problems. She is becoming more active and a part of the wolrd around her, same as Ishida

>>159810841
Well yeah summaries aren't as interesting as the real thing.
She doesn't kill herself because of misunderstandings though. Ishida and her family IS burdened by her deafness. The answer wasn't killing herself but being open to a more supportive relationship with her loved ones.

Passiveness is a personality trait, and Shouko had her reasons for being passive.

>The other KnKfags couldn't prove me wrong when I debated this in two months ago.
Funny, I debated this with somebody a week or two ago who used the same wording as you did.

>>159810711 covers a lot of why Shoko is passive.

She's intentionally withdrawn, in order to not impose on others, but she's carrying a massive amount of self-loathing. We don't know whether or not she knows her father left because she's deaf, so I won't necessarily attribute that to it. But she knows that her mom's a hardass for sure, and she quite possibly blames herself for that. She knows that her classmates gave her a hard time for her deafness, which contributes to her not liking herself. Hell, she probably blames herself for her sister being a delinquent and hanging around her instead of going to school. Then there's Shoya, who she clearly blames herself for.

But there's more to her than just self-loathing. Despite her condition, she's shown trying to be "normal" - and sometimes just being normal without intending to. She'll change her hair for (and even confess to) a boy she likes. She likes feeding the karp. She enjoys hanging out with friends. She gets into fights with her sister over fucking shampoo.

She's also kind. She realized before leaving that Shoya was starting to become hated, and she tried to ease the incoming pain as much as she could by cleaning his desk before he could see it. Kid!Shoya literally gave her no reason to want to help him, but she did - simply because she knew the pain of being disliked and didn't wish it on him.

I think that Shoko really is a character, not just a plot device. You want plot device, take a look at that asshole Kawai. She's pretty much there in tandem with Mashiba to force Ishida to confront his past.

They're believable, likable, have firm foundations for how they act based on their environments and the people they're with, have decently established interests, are further fleshed out through the background details in their rooms and in off-handed remarks, have decent chemistry with their friends and great chemistry with each other, and they have great voice-acting and character-acting. When they are in each other's bodies, they still move, talk, and act in a way that's distinctly them.

Do you lack an attention to detail or something?

He's pretty damn confident.

He's pretty hot-headed and easily agitated, as indicated by his boss, his friends, and his early interactions with Mitsuha.

He's diligent and hard-working, as indicated by his dedication to his work and his willingness to go the extra mile to build or create fun things for Mitsuha's friends - despite not being the one to stand to benefit from the in the long run.

He's helpful and loyal, as he makes a point to make Mitsuha stand up for herself when her classmates are whispering about her due to her father's shenanigans. He also gives Mitsuha's grandmother aid in traveling despite having no real connection to her.

He's extremely dedicated and determined, as indicated by the arguably unreasonable lengths that he goes to to track down Mitsuha after their connection is severed.

More on the "humorous" side, he has absolutely no qualms about "decency", as he self-gropes as Mitsuha multiple times and noticeably goes braless when in control of her body.


And I may have missed some more. I honestly can't see how anyone who watched the movie could say that Taki and Mitsuha were blank slates.

Mitsuha was a damsel in distress

Despite all this time, I never actually seen Kimi No Na Who Are You Wario or whatever its name it, but I feel like if I were ever to see it, I'd be pretty let down simply because there's just too much attention, drivel and hype behind it for me to even consider it as worthy of so much attention.

Some day, I might watch it, but at the same time, I feel like I might come back to /a/ sooner or later while talking about how disappointing this movie's actually been. It might have time travelling involved or some deep shit written in order to make it stand out even further, but I feel like it's still going to end up being just a plain romance, a romance you usually see on your every day anime.

>>159814594
Why can't you separate the people who like something from it? Just watch the movie and take it in for what it is. You should do that with everything or else you'll just come off like an idiot. It having the time travel shit isn't to make it seem deep or anything.

>literally just going for the next target

Alright, I'll bite.

She's pretty damn shy and lacks self-confidence, but she's actually realistic about how her withdrawnness is portrayed. (Clams up in front of the people making her uncomfortable, vents about her problems when either nobody or somebody she's familiar with is around.)

She's a "village mouse" who wants to be able to see the city. (A little cliche, admittedly, but a cliche can be handled well.)

She can be kind of goofy in her thinking, as seen when her only objection to her sister's mock suggestion about selling their sake is the tax (rather than literally any other objection that could be raised against the idea).

She doesn't have many friends, but is close to the ones she has, and is dedicated to helping them, whether they're near or far.

She has a certain level of savviness that enables her to set Taki up with his boss. This also indicates her own kindness and dedication to people that she's friends with, despite her seemingly withdrawn and somewhat frustrated demeanor.

She actually grows out of her shyness due to her experiences with Taki and manages to soldier the rest of the way through the rescue process and the confrontation with her father, which enables her to save the village.


Did you want to accuse Mitsuha's sister of being a generic anime sister next?

>>159814788

Fine, then I guess I'll spend my Saturday watching it and hope it does more than just add superficial stuff to a run-of-the-mill romance. I don't even want to sound like an idiot, but whenever people talk big about something, I just seem to hesitate and wonder if it's really that impressive or if they were simply wow'd by a single particular scene while the rest of the movie doesn't stand out as much. It happens more often than it should.

>>159815020
I'd recommend just seeing hype and all that as just that people like the thing and to take into account that there's so many factors that could lead to someone liking something that said hype shit won't tell you anything about the movie or show or whatever.

Blu-ray comes out in a little less than 2 weeks. Should probably hold out until then.

I never said to watch it with the dub you mongoloid.

He's referring to the Japanese bluray. Even if he was referring to the English ones, it would still have the Japanese version.

>>159815731
>>159815753

Oh. Fuck, I didn't actually know that. Sorry.

Does the Japanese Bluray have subs? Will the English one have it? Which one's best for a relentless dubhater like me?

>>159815893
I don't think the English one has a release date. Do you prefer to buy your anime or pirate it?

>>159815893
Quick check that the blu-ray does have subs, but for some reason apparently it will replace the theme songs with the English version. Hopefully there's an option to have subs and original theme songs. If not, hopefully someone else will sub it.

Hopefully someone comes up to the task and tries encoding the 4k version.

>>159815963
I'm normally a pirater, but I'll tribute things that I loved by actually buying them.

Would pirating actually be the better option in this case?

>>159815964
Hopefully. That sounds dumb.

>>159816162
If you haven't watched it yet, you should probably just pirate when it comes out and like you said, contribute if you love it. The movie is popular and there's subs from inferior rips already, so a BD release from fansub groups shouldn't take too long.

1) They say "normie" instead of "normalfag".

He didn't say that she had no character, though. He just said that she was a damsel in distress, which is an annoying cliche.
