Did this movie establish once and for all that Shinkai is the new Miyazaki?

Fucking hate this meme.

I watched it. It was okay, generic omg so deep and cute anime movie idiot westerners actually like. So yeah, he's the new Miyazaki.
Brayden Cook
>shinkai is the new old bastard who whines at everything

>Miyazaki is the old Shinkai
Oliver Rogers
Why did this movie give me so many feels when it wasn't even that good?
I think it has to do with the fact that Mistuha a cute
Henry Myers
He's definitely the new go to meme animator now.
Cameron Ramirez
Are you being tsundere or does the majority of Sup Forums really not enjoy Shinkai?
Alexander Gonzalez
That's not whichever animators Kyoani employs
Henry Diaz
There will never be a new Satoshi Kon ;_;
Parker Powell
Don't lose hope, maybe a new genius will come along.
Jackson Nguyen
Did anyone on Sup Forums actually SEE this movie?
It's really just an average romance.
The ending is really week, too. But that's common in Jap romances generally.
Gabriel Evans
Many people say that Shinkai a good director, but he's not good at piecing together a decent thematic narrative (falls apart towards the end), and he tries to go beyond his abilities. Should just stick to standard teen love.
Beautiful art, but it lacks the charm to compare him to Miyazaki, especially with the generic looking characters.
Carter Moore
Your Name is only, like, the third film he's done that has actually received critical acclaim. Leave the dude some time, he's really young too. It's unfair to compare him to Miyazaki.
Nolan Peterson
Name a better film that came out in 2016.
Carter Johnson
Arrival. If you mean animated then Zootopia. I mean both the films I mentioned are bad, but they're still more watchable than Meme no na Wa. is spot on.
Nicholas Johnson
>Zootopia.
>Literal anticapitalist procriminal proganda movie aimed at kids.
>Good.
Naw.
Mason Anderson
>confirmed for not watching Zootopia
???
Not that user but it was easily the top 3 best animated movies this year with the secret life of pets.
Leo Cook
>Zootopia
Is this bait?
Hunter Flores
Kimi no Na Wa? More like Kimi no Wallpapers.
Jaxon Johnson
Did you not like it? Or did you just never watch it?
Luis Harris
>no more comfy kimi no na wa threads with 500+ replies
Did the hype die suddenly?
Thomas Fisher
I presume the people who cared finally watched it, and realized it was nothing imrpessive.
Honestly Sup Forums killed it by hyping it to be the greatest romance ever made, when in reality it was just sort of average. Actually, if anything, it was a bit too melodramatic.
Carter Cox
I just watched it this evening (in a cinema, not that shitty rip) and was pleasantly surprised since I had low expectations from the start.
The story is nothing impressive, the visuals were great though
Christopher Brooks
>he's really young too.
He's 43. Miyazaki may be old as fuck compared to Shinkai, but 43 seems like an age when you should have your shit together.
Kayden Rivera
Why do I force myself to watch movies like this one, knowing that I'll feel like shit afterwards because of the teenage love meme?
How ascended do you have to be to stop caring?

I thought hosoda was the new miyazaki

I hate Kimi no Wa threads, it attracts the worst kind of normalfags on Sup Forums
Jackson Hughes
Case in point: and
Carson Campbell
Not even close, that would be shounen threads and One piece in particular
Henry Sanders
Kimi no nawa has within it a formula that made it so appealing, that's the only thing interesting about it.
Story and animation are mediocre as fuck.
Jose Gutierrez
No but it's his best film yet even if it's really just a culmination of all of the best parts of his previous films with a more normie friendly presentation
pretty amazing it blew up like it did
Ayden Roberts
Where did the compfy Kimi No Na Wa threads go? and any Baguettes here tell me if it has good results in Baguette land?
Carson Allen
>Where did the compfy Kimi No Na Wa threads go?
Shitposter backlash couldn't let people just enjoy things without accusation of circlejerking.
Adam Phillips
>I presume the people who cared finally watched it, and realized it was nothing impressive.
On the contrary, the people who only watched it because of Sup Forums hype were the ones who didn't care.
You also have to consider the regional factor, the ones who were hyping it were mostly the early bird Bongs and Aussies crowd (who are weeb enough to like anything Japanese) and Southeast Asians (who are much less aggressive in their shitposting) while and the new batch of detractors are either Bongs (horrendous shitposters) who saw it late since it's out of theaters in SEA or Murrikans who downloaded a shitty camrip expecting the second coming of Jesus Yamato.
Joshua Lee
>formula
you mean fan-service
Henry Rodriguez
no, it's a solid love story formula that audiences can relate to
Chase Ramirez
Did the movie end up beating spirited away in the end?
Justin Anderson
>It's unfair to compare him to Miyazaki.
Tell that to the marketing/media people who keeps pushing that angle.
Pretty much. It's not a bad movie, but it sure isn't the OMG 10/10 masterpiece that most people keep making it out to be.
Charles Martinez
Actually, it's the other way round. Make any attempt to criticise it or point out that it isn't 10/10 kino and you get called a contrarian who hates it only because it's popular. It's like the opposite of that autist(s) in IBO threads where if you don't call it the worst thing ever, you're an ANN/animesuki shitter.
Elijah Watson
No why would it?

It apparently was very close to beating spirited away in gross profit so was wondering if it had happened.
Daniel Howard
Because there's nothing new to discuss besides reviewing the film elements.
Keep it up user, maybe one day we'll be lucky enough to get a translator interest in this film. There're plenty untranslated stuff out there to discuss.
Maybe, after Korean and US release.
Adam Thomas
It will probably surpass it worldwide if you don't adjust for inflation
Carter Brooks
I'm still disappointed that there are some scenes animated at 10 fps.
Fuck Shinkai couldn't you spare a little bit more money to properly animate those few seconds?
Henry Martinez
That zoom-out mountain before katawaredoki, right?
Ando wanted to work on this film more but their budget ran dried already, so I guess this is all they could managed to do with their budget.

So this is meme magic. Not bad.

Reminder that Makoto Shinkai thinks Keit-Ai is a mistake.
Evan Lee
>within mere months, Kimi no Na wa (288 million USD) is on the cusp of going beyond the box office gross of Spirited Away (289.1 million USD), making it the highest grossing anime film and Japanese film of all time
Really tickles my synapses.

how about no
also, copypasta
Jack Hughes
>your AMVs, webcomic, and fanfic make Keit-ai into a thing
Every time.

no because his movies are slice and life shit
he should make more tame fantasy movies like this one
Landon Peterson
>Now beyond 20 billion yen (US$288 million).
>On the cusp of going beyond the box office gross of Spirited Away (US$289.1 million)
has it done it yet? it's been like this for weeks now
Christopher Nelson
According to box office mojo, it's $250 million instead of $288 million because they're using the current exchange rate (against a stronger dollar) instead of using the exchange rate at the time the box office returns were gotten just a few months or even weeks ago.
Matthew Carter
The movie was decent, certainly not the most interesting or deep romance anime movie I've ever seen. Honestly most of the past Shinkai movies I've seen were too melodramatic and patronizing for my tastes (5 centimeters, garden of words, early days). Your name was actually a pretty good improvement over his previous works.
I've been more hyped to see koe no katachi as it actually seems like a more complex and mature romance movie.
