I know it is cool and fun to rip on anime, but sometimes a movie transcends the genre and makes it out into the mainstream.

Spirited Away is perhaps the most well regarded of these films. Most people don't bat an eye at Spirited Away because it is just that good. Your Name appears to be next in line.

Go ahead and talk about how much anime sucks. Or tell others how wonderful this film is. Whatever, I don't care. I just couldn't find a thread in C/D or animeland and GBS is more fun, anyway. I'd post the trailer but it is bad and makes the film look stupid. But here are cool gifs:

Because it's just an anime version of that Gravity Falls episode where static electricity makes you swap bodies with whomever you touch

Body swapping is a bad premise for a cartoon movie and no amount of weeaboo dickwaving changes that

But in reality I want to see the film. I might even believe that the current generation of Japanese teenager is so repressed that they wouldn't spend 95% of the film's running time loving around with their gender-swapped bodies

It was a good movie, but the creator was disappointed because some stuff didn't make it into the final version. I would be interested to see a Director's Cut.

Yeah Immah watch this on BruRay. I don't trust the "crowd" in the theater is to not smell and not to loudly mst3k the loving movie.

I remember the times when this anime poo poo was hard to find so if it was in theaters, you sat down, you shut the gently caress up, and you watched a loving movie on the off-chance it was good because that was likely your only opportunity aside from like a lovely VHS fansub.

Koe no Katachi is better. Your Name has one of those confusing magic time travel bullshit coupled with some dumb plotholes. Having watched both on the big screen I much prefer A Silent Voice since it's a much more relatable story.

here in Japan I teach university students and basically all of them agree that anime is kid poo poo and no one watches this stuff except like loser high schoolers and shut in nerds

also that movie is more stereotypical magic body swap slice of life boy meets girl garbage

if it wasn't an annie-may you would say it was contrived garbage

which it is

So you can sit in the quiet comfort of your own home, surrounded by all of the booze, and marathon this and Miss Congeniality in one evening.

Oh don't worry, every single day the boy wakes up in the girl's body he messes with her tits even though she explicitly asks him not too. He denies it, but her little sister was always watching, so she knows... he's a HENTAIIIII!

this is not a joke, this is a thing in this "good film"

The animation is also completely stale, and everyone walks and moves exactly the same way because no one has any characterization at all, except that the girl is shy and the guy goes "eeeeeeeeh!?"

spoiler alert: despite these two characters doing this for... months, I guess, at no point do they recognize they're doing it years apart even though they leave notes in one another's phone calendars

also neither of them notice that one is talking about a giant comet that the entire nation is going wild about and the other person isn't. spoiler alert, it was a comet that killed thousands of people like two years ago but that boobtoucher forgot about happening because he's too busy going "eeeeeeeeh?!"
