Did I miss something? I thought people were praising the shit out of it? I watched it, and didn't feel like it was anything special. It was good, but not extraordinary. I liked the animation though.
Should I rewatch it? Because I feel like I'm missing something that others caught.What did you guys think?

I thought just about the same. I thought it was great, had some good humor, beautiful visuals and themes, made me feel a bit, but it didn't feel anything spectacular. It was good, but it didn't blow any kind of boundaries for me. Still a good movie, though.
No, you're literally the only one who didn't like it. Thanks for blogging about your super controversial opinions.
No I agree with OP, its a good movie. But not so good that I would watch again.
The people were praising the shitty leaked version while all Shitai's movies have going for them is visuals. Also stop virtue signalling, because it makes you come of rather female.
No it's just a movie that appeals to normalfags. Same reason ghibli films are popular.
That's what a year of Keit-ai shitposts does to a person
It's certainly overrated, but not a bad movie by any means.
It's not some kind of high art masterpiece just a really good movie that has mainstream appeal and did extremely well commercially.
...
Like all shinkai stuff, it is extremely over rated. Now even more so that his past stuff because it's actually decent.
What the devil!?
Keit-ai already has a TV Tropes page, so stop posting it.

Watch it in the cinema.

So this is meme magic. Not bad.
There he is. There he goes again.
Look everyone he posted it once again. Isn't he just the funniest guy around. Oh my god.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room giggling like a little girl as you once again type your little keit-ai thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don’t even fill in the captcha, maybe you’re such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a Sup Forums pass so you just choose the picture. Oh we all know the picture, the uh epic flip phone isn’t it? I imagine you, little shit, laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos onto the floor. But its ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh that’s right, did I fail to mention? You live with your mother!
You’re a fat fucking fuck up and she’s probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all god damn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on Sup Forums posting about a shitty fanfic. Just imagine this, she had you and then she thought you were going to be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand and then you became a NEET. A pathetic keit-ai fag NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can’t even talk try to you because all you say is “FINDS A WAY FINDS A WAY FINDS A WAY.” You became a parody of your own self. And that’s all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he’s done a million times now.
And that's all you'll ever be.
>all these meme magic
This is the song they used as the actual Keit-Ai opening song (the one on YouTube is fake) actually came out back in 2012.
It became really popular, it was Top. 1 on many charts and was memed to hell and back before Keit-Ai even became a thing.
IT DIDN'T WIN AN OSCAR KEK
>People actually thought this rehashed garbage was better than anything from Ghibli
Threadly reminder that it has been made into a wiki, a fanfic, a fictionpress story, a manga, a meme, a TV tropes entry, an anime preview, an anime episode, an honest-to-goodness anime movie that's Oscar considered, and a critically acclaimed box office success that's the highest grossing anime film of all time and approved by Shinzo Abe and Cool Japan, so stop talking about it.

>It was good, but not extraordinary
It would have been extraordinary if they had spent a longer time developing the main character's relationships with each other. Even though they wouldn't be able to meet in person they still could have had them find out who exactly each other was during the time they were body swapped and spoke to each other through their journals. They could have found out about each other's fears, hopes, and dreams and become closer because of it. But they opt for a quick montage instead.
Instead of living upside-down in a cave, why didn't they just wear lead shoes?
Oh wait this is Keit-Ai now.

>Also stop virtue signalling
I don't think that phrase means what you think it means.
>virtue signalling
Spamming Keit-Ai now confirmed to put you on the moral high ground.
#ResistMods
Doesn't help that was basically how it was in the novel as well but frankly if they had dragged it out it would have been less interesting.
That and their memories of the times they were body swapped weren't the best, particularly Taki's.
Important question.
They were both 17 when they were body swapping, which means she is three years older than him.
When Taki meets up with senpai for dinner it's five years after they went to Itomari and then there's another change of seasons before he meets Mitsuha (again) so that would make her 26 wouldn't it?
Christmas cake wins?

So this is meme magic. Not bad.
Am I literally the only person who doesn't understand this Keit-ai memeing?
I think it's overrated on Sup Forums.
Even Shinkai didn't think it was that good. Take off the rose tinted glasses and you'll see the movie as it is.
A good movie but not a Masterpiece.
Its good but I would rather the garden of words or 5cm per second had their endings animated.
It was Keit-ai as soon as the first promo poster was released.
How does it feel being a souless fag user
Personally, I enjoyed it quite a bit. It left a lingering emotion in me that made the movie more endearing with the more time separated from my viewing it. And I especially see how it could have easily resonated with the Japanese audience. Looking forward to watching it again when the BDs come out.
I dunno, user. Maybe you simply fell victim to the hype. That sort of thing happens all the time.
>could have easily resonated with the Japanese audience.
there are things in it that non japanese/asian wouldn't pick up on like en.wikipedia.org
The natural disaster angle is an obvious one
>I do not like popular thing the post
Cool
Very nice eyecandy but the story and characters were your standard fare.
friendly reminder to read the spinoff LN too for full experience.
when there is a translation too read sure
I hope they adapt it into a series of shorts or something though
It's not about noticing these things as intentional thematic choices or not, it's about how they make you feel.
I lived in Japan for the 1st and 2nd anniversaries of 3/11, and like Americans with 9/11, there's really something about it that foreigners may not be able to tap into. Even on the latter anniversary, I remember a few people I worked with still crying. And I lived in Kansai.
unlikely cause Shinkai already had plan for the next project
>It was good, but not extraordinary
Ironically, this is precisely Shinkai's opinion. He himself is sick of being called "the next Miyazaki" and he himself wanted less people to watch Kimo No Na Wa because he felt it was rushed and incomplete (he said they'd run out of time and money before the movie was finished).
Perhaps this is in part Japanese modesty, perhaps it is in part his honest opinion about the movie. What I think though is that he's afraid of raising the expectations of his audience too high, which might result in him having to live in his own shadow. For a young director, that's horrible as it effectively means your wings are clipped and you'll always try to surpass that one movie everyone remembers you for. Maybe a bit like what happened with M. Night Shyamamalama-sama and Signs
>missing something that others caught
What the fuck are you talking about? It's not deep or anything. If you missed something you must have fucking fallen asleep during it.
