That's not a big deal faggot.
Not surprised that a Jap WW2 self-pity story would do well.
Another dishonest flick where the japs pretend to be the victims of WW2
What's this movie about?
The hardships faced by the Japanese people during WW2.
Good for it. Just because a movie is successful doesn't mean other movies can't be. I'm glad for both of them.
Just like american women pretend to be the primary victims of war. Last I checked, USA is the one bullying other countries.
How likely is it that these posts came from Americans?
87%
I'm not from America, nor from a country on the "winning" side but I think japs feeling victimized over WW2 is fucking bulshit.
Just because the country's leaders decided to engage in war (regardless of which side they're supporting), doesn't mean the people of the country deserve to go through that.
Takeshi Kitano comments on the film:

Is this the beginning of the MAPPA era?
Holding the average Joe accountable for what the government and military did is kind of dumb.
No, their show this season is flopping hard.
MAPPA will not be getting much from this film and Yuri on Ice
Did this have a big marketing campaign considering it was crowd funded?
also it opens in the september in the US and other countries around june, I think I read it already started screening in mexico
No, but since it started winning many awards people noticed. They had to triple screenings, I think it got like 220 or something, started with 70.
>Japanese people actually think they're the good guys in WW2 and that they fought to free Asia from colonialism
Who are you quoting?
It had like no marketing and opened to a small 47 million weekend on 63 screens. Got popular by word of mouth and winning big awards. Eventually expanded to 200 screens by its 8th weekend and 300 screens by its 13th weekend.
>Katabuchi asked Anno if he had seen In This Corner of the World, and Anno replied, "I saw it. What a woman, doing nothing. I wanted to strangle her.
It's just sad japanese schools omit so much of their war crimes in WW2.
Kouno probably never even learned about Nanking or Unit 731 because if she did I doubt she draws this manga.
japanese mentality
Seriously, fuck them. Germany feels shame for the nazi stuff, Americans feel shame for the slavery and the japanese camps during WWII (well, not right now...). But Japs always go DID NOTHING WRONG when they talk about WWII just because they experienced the bomb. Fuck those guys,
It won the hiroshima peace award so I guess the government is promoting it to some extent?
I'm much more bothered by the fact that, while many of innocent people did die for no reason, they never portray the military on a negative note.
They won't admit the country they fought for is capable of such atrocities. I'm tired of that whinning.
Can you post some quotes from real Japanese saying that their government did nothing wrong in WW2? Knowing about your ancestor's past doesn't necessarily mean shaming yourself over it like most Americans with white guilt do like yourself for example. Japanese history text books do have and acknowledge shit like Nankin.
>another blame the japs thread
Wew, japan's surrender was a strategic move, notice how their emperor wasn't killed and their culture wasn't that badly influenced since the jap army is strong as fuck.
>Japanese history text books do have and acknowledge shit like Nankin
Only textbooks published in the last 20 years do this and only very briefly and typically using very non-inflammatory language when describing the events.
Really? Which books? Provide some examples.
>68 civilians killed
Truly these people are soulless animals. I don't feel bad about the nukes now.
>Nakayama feels he and the LDP group he heads played a key role in getting the descriptions of the “comfort women,” the euphemism Japan used for the wartime sex slaves for its army, deleted from most junior high school history books.
>“Now few textbooks carry words like ‘military comfort women’ or that the women were ‘forcibly taken’ (to the frontline brothels). I think that’s good,”
how many civilians did those nukes kill? :^)
Not enough to replace those countless of American lives.
I don't know, whoever made that picture seems to have counted them.
>People who haven't read the manga
Why do you post here you fucking ignorant shits?
>I wanted to strangle her.
