What was the purpose of this scene?
>>160501469
Shrine maiden sake
>>160501469
Watch the whole fucking movie, brainlet.
JAV reference
If chugging alcohol made from virgin spit is wrong, then Japan doesn't wanna be right.
>>160501469
Just a weird thing to flash out the characters. She was able to pull it off perfectly despite being weirded out by it at first if I remember correctly.
Also weird shrine spit magic forcing one last switch
>>160501530
I did.
And it absolutely wasn't necessary to make it look like >>160501571
I mean it was so fucking out of place. If it was ecchi ova it would be ok but i wasn't expecting Shinkai making a dumb cum reference joke.
I mean, he definetly meant this, especially with characters reactions after that
>>160501804
You do know that this is a real thing right?
It's not just some ritual he made up on the spot for no reason.
>>160501469
To trigger normalfags like you
>>160501804
You are fucking retarded, and I knew you'd go there.
The point is that it IS embarrassing. The girl is lightly bullied because of her unusual family.
Just go back to read some Britbong yellow news like BBC crying about how weird Japan is, maybe it will make you forget for a moment how much of a failure both you and your people are.
im glad this movie didn't have a cuck ending like 5cm
>>160501804
>haha everything is a penis joke
>>>/highschool/
>>160501469
>expect a pure romance
>get ecchi otaku pandering
why did they do this?
>>160501990
I don't mind some cum in anime (and in general :^), but not in that context.
>>160502029
I'm not british m8
>>160501469
Same with all lingerie scene and male MC's obsession with boobs fondling.
Japs are actually pretty open with sex. Many older literature or modern one like Murakami's talk about sex in rather descriptive manner. Weird shit like incest are acceptable for them after all.
>>160502159
>I'm not british m8
It doesn't matter. You've the same shitty shame-based morality about things you fail to fully grasp, as an attempt to feel better about yourself.
>sake is make with Mitsuha's spit
>physical piece of her is left in the shrine
>by drinking the sake Taki restablishes a connection with her after shedies
>musubi magic reignites

If there's no other Kimi no Na wa threads, let's discuss it.
How come that his most popular work is the most mediocre one? I'm not trying to be contrarian, i really like most of his works. But this one simply don't hold in almost any aspect.
The initial premise, gender-bender stuff, wasn't explored nearly as it could be. Aside from "boob discovery" type of jokes and basic interaction contrast, there was almost nothing about them discovering each others lives and personalities. There is a little of girl background and then at the same time we don't know almost anything about the boy, his motivation and who he really is as a person - aside from general "mamoru" fleur there's really nothing about him.
Shinkai's previous movies really depended on a general atmosphere with emphasis on emotions, with a very vague and almost surreal plot, which worked beautifully. Now he tries to be more specific - and fails. The story is built from plot-devices that are combined by almost non-existent logic, which is not inherently bad thing, but then, on top of that, he tries to evoke feelings in a way he known for - and it looks ridiculous.

Shinkai is a terrible one-note director who is only noteworthy for the autistic amount of work he dedicates to his anime.

>The initial premise, gender-bender stuff, wasn't explored nearly as it could be. Aside from "boob discovery" type of jokes and basic interaction contrast, there was almost nothing about them discovering each others lives and personalities
That shit is completely overdone.
I was ready to be bored out of my mind expecting anime freaky friday but the way the plot actually developed into something with a bit of gravitas pleasantly surprised me.
>>160504029
Fuck, sent before finished.
So, for me it really looked ridiculous. Because now story tries to be grounded and more realistic, but instead it just loses focus. A big amount of time is spent on bunch of a characters that we don't really care about because of how undeveloped they are, and on time that has left we see these clumsy switches between teens lives. In the middle of this cumbersome action, Shinkai loses the most important thing - there's no relationships buildup. It's like all these missing parts are off-screen, cut out in editing room. We are suddenly present with confession, but you just don't believe it, it feels so forced and artificial that. for me, Shinkais famous magic just fell apart right there.

>being such a sex deprived virgin that he thought this scene was supposed to be lewd

>a full box of delicious white substance
>that accent on a slight gasp after finishing
it was nigga
it was
>>160501469
HAHAHA GUYS LOOK I DID IT
>>160501469
To show modern Japan the dying tradition and origin of Sake as fermented rice broken down with amylase in spit. It also symbolizes a part of the Miko herself being gifted to the deity, which becomes a key plot point later, when the deity links her life with the one of another schoolboy in the future in order to avert disaster.
>>160505462
Isn't this lack of a relationship buildup one of the themes though? Even when separated by time and space, their story intertwines constantly, culminating in the end. I mean, I liked their awkward relationship, the emptier it felt, the more satisfied I felt at the end when they recognised each other. I mean, call it musubi, call it red string of fate, call it destiny, it worked nicely imo
>>160505845
I hope you never live to see a baby puke. Your dick will explode apparently.
It is to show that her lungs are strong enough to suck up sake as if she had a straw.
Nigga your fetish is damn fucked yo
>>160506944
she could suck a golf ball through a garden hose
>>160501469
I didn't see it as sexual, it was just kinda gross, spitting into a box. Which was the point because she was embarrassed and the dumb girls from school were making fun of her for it.
>>160505845
Sure thing, pal. sure thing
>>160507094
How can people be grossed out by it? I was astonished by the fidelity of the ritual and its spiritual aspects, in fact i was a bit bothered by the dumb girls not appreciating the traditional culture of Japan.
>>160507428
Expelling body fluids and storing it is just naturally kinda gross
>>160504029
Waiter I didn't order this pasta.
