[Historia]

i prefer the manga adaptations, personally

[Arashi_Leonhart]

I read what the movie was about and I didn't expect something that was praised so highly to be about body swapping between a boy and a girl of all things. I still haven't watched it.

Well maybe after his other highly praised stories about text messages, the speed at which cherry blossoms fall, building airplanes, and drawing shoes, you'll get that it really isn't what it's about so much as how its handled and executed.

right, so, i heard it was soooooooo highly praised and soooooo critically acclaimed and everyone loved it sooooo much so i expected to be completely disappointed and bored

no.

i am emotionally compromised.

i am not okay and it is beautiful.

the speed at which cherry blossoms fall

This one still killed me the most tbh

[just Beamu]

Your Name is fantastic and also is the blu ray out over here yet

in fairness the only thing I actually remember about garden of words is the general premise and that the animators apparently had a foot fetish

I watched it a 3rd time with gf (2nd was with younger brother since we both had nothing to do. He said, "S'alright, I liked it).

She liked it, too, but the final last framing shots of the two pissed her off. Ahaha. She doesn't like when the deal isn't sealed by a hug/kiss and is instead thrown up to the sky and left to interpretation.

Voices kills me when I look at it and think "one single person did all of this minus music and VO"

Place Promised kills me because I have a thing about dreams I can't wake from and things in it I can't remember

5cm kills me because that relationship is pretty close to something I've actually experienced

Garden kills me because FUCKING HELL WHY DOES HIS SHINJUKU GARDENS LOOK MORE LIKE SHINJUKU GARDENS THAN SHINJUKU GARDENS DO

Your Name kills me because the moment she opens her hand I'm pretty much slaughtered

Your Name kills me because the moment she opens her hand I'm pretty much slaughtered

the exact moment you know you'll never be okay again

It would've been kind of out of place if that happened considering the circumstances.

[Raylen Cypher]

That moment was so underhanded and unexpected and I loved it with watery eyes.

I'm usually this person but I feel like the way it ended was infinitely more emotional and moving. Tears, in this case, speak louder than PDA.

[Raylen Cypher]

I WANT SOMEONE TO WRITE ON MY HAND THAT

We both just wanted more in this case.

The music in Your Name is fantastic to the last track, but One More Time, One More Chance from 5cm/s might be my favourite Shinkai movie song because it just so painfully encapsulates all the emotion in that movie and I can't take ittttttt

buy all the merch so that Shinkai gives us an epilogue OVA

I WANT TO BELIEVE

[just Beamu]

I should watch it again

[LJ3]

Blu ray is out I think October? Wonder if the side novel or manga will add epilogue

ohshit, Koe no Katachi here on Oct. 20 get ready for tears

[Five_X]

Blue Rays on November 7th, open your wallets, folks. Second manga volume + side story around the same-ish time, too.

then nendos in december, third manga volume in march, figures also in march, probably another art book in fall,

[GhostDIGIT]

I'd rather spare my wallet the trouble and let my dreams remain dreams.

[just Beamu]

I'll probably watch it again at least once before the blu ray is out here

This was also good tho being a movie forced a ton of cuts from the manga

[Saiga]

I saw lots of trailers for Your Name and was interested but never bothered

If its got the BL seal of approval i may have to check it out

Someone watch it with me
