Do you know if the dub has the same problems as the official subs?
From what I know it'd have the same issues, going by how they handle dubs? Specifically the hugest one is (minor conversational spoilers though nothing really plot relevant) there's a scene where one of the girls lines is translated as 'if she changes, i'll break up with her,' which is hosed up, versus the original line which was closer to 'if *I* change, she'll break up with *me*,' which is both a very understandable worry for a teenager and also pitiable instead of controlling. which is, uh, a pretty big difference!!!

The answer might not be be obvious at first.

I caught up on Kaguya-sama, Dr. Stone, and even the overpowered spider isekai manga. I had fallen so far behind on a lot of stuff after batoto went away, because even though the following list carried over to mangadex, the last read notification didn't. Hooray for me.

Was your name really that good? Everything I heard about it made it sound pretty much like every other Shinkai movie ever made.

I remember seeing bits of Voices of a Distant Star on the Anime Network waaaay back when and being confused and underwhelmed.

He might be hammering on the same themes as always but he has really honed his craft in the years since Voices. At the very least it's worth a look.

Is there a name for the kind of aloof character archetype that goes "ara ara" a lot and has a breathy voice

Admittedly I do think most non-franchise anime movies are worth taking a look at if only because it's real easy to watch all of them from a given year.

It’s commonly referred to as the Onee-san archetype.

It's a Shinkai movie but he got someone with human emotions to write the ending for a change
