This was so much better than Your Name
Why wasn't it more well received?
Worse pacing, uninventive animation and unsurprising plotline (except for the conclusion).
Overall, it was a fun, albeit melodramatic film. But if i were to compare them, it's clear Shinkai has more experience directing and learning from past mistakes.

all that development with the main girl then he just chooses the other girl cause he has a past with her, which we don't know almost anything of and seems completely out of place. Stupid ass end but was a fun ride
First half duration about family problem is interesting. Then it slowly become awful later.
No fun.
I'm glad the live action is also flopped.
“Meanwhile, the live-action film adaptation of A-1 Pictures' 2015 anime feature Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda/The Anthem of the Heart failed at the box office in its opening weekend. The Kento Nakajima (boys idol group Sexy Zone member)-starring film got wide release in 286 theaters in Japan, but sold less tickets than Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Reflection that had only 73 theaters.”

This.
I did think reusing old songs everyone knows was kind of neat.

i liked it

so we expect his next one to be even better?
>>161339809
Better than Koe no Katachi? Of course.
Better than Kimi no na Wa? Doubt it.
Where's the porn? By the end I just wanted the mute retard to take a bat in the ass.

the girl got a little annoying though

The first half was good, then the second half is where Okada strikes and it becomes dogshit, as expected.

She was better without her voice
>>161347007
OP didn't mention Koe no Katachi.

I haven't seen Your Name, though I have seen other Shinkai movies, but if this was better than I guess he's still a talentless overrated hack.
>>161339809
I hate Your Name but this film really wasn't better, it's just less offensive because I never hear people suck its overly melodramatic dick.
>>161339809
No, it wasn't. Shitty character design, shitty Okada story, shitty characters.
