Jim Carry for live action remake?

Nice general.

I must have watched this film about 8 times, i can't get over it. It never ceases to reverberate with me whenever i watch it. Shinkai did a great job with the syntax between audio and animation

about as general as i can get

memes aside, I wonder how the movie would hold up as a live action remake, I think the story is great, but so much of the emotion comes from the soundtrack and the timing in the film

the art and animation is like 90% of the movie, fuck live action, would not work at all.

Got me to watch 5cm/s again. Or the first part, because that shit is cute as fuck and don't want the rest of dat shit it's depressing.

So, any information about when to expect general availability in Western cinemas?

user, there's something you should know

...and that would be? Camrips?

it already had a week-long release in the States

>in the States

I wasn't talking about the US.

everywhere else too. sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems as though you missed the window.

Cinemas in my country are screening it at the moment even though we rarely get any non-Ghibli movies.

Is this movie actually good? I'm about to take three fucking buses to go see it

I don't really think it would hold up quite as well. Just because of the acting difficulties when you're trying to portray the bodyswapping, for one - in anime, if something doesn't look quite right, you can go back and erase that part so you eventually end up with a better picture. Whereas, in live action, you have to do a total retake, and can't fix individual things like that.

Plus, the kuchikamizake trip would look pretty shit with CGI, I think. That part's almost entirely dependent on it being a drawn medium.

Yes, it's worth 3 buses.

Just watched it few hours ago in Funland.

Are you being 100% serious? I can't tell

It is worth 3 buses

It's a 5 bus movie tbqh

wait..

isn't that Keit-Ai?

i watched last night
10/10

8/10 because the animation was great.

I would legitimately consider taking a Greyhound to see this thing if it weren't actually in my city.

Can someone explain why it's so highly regarded? Girl Who Leapt Through Time did pretty much the same thing but better.

both great but entirely different films

just watched it right now, shed tears in the end
can you recommend more like this?

Watch Shinkai's other stuff.

Also

Ghbili
Mamoru Hosoda

thanks anons

I just watched it in a random ass cinema here in Norway, so you should ask your local theater

>i noticed there was no kimi no na wa thread
and yet you still decided to create one

The only thing I see around here is the new Conan movie later this month.

it's meme magic

So people actually realise that the story was mediocre and the characters were lacking in every aspect.

that's now what I was saying but congrats on sounding like a sperg anyway

Keit-ai would have been better.

So I noticed in the LN that Mitsuha remembers the お前は誰？ in her notebook during the first bodyswap with Taki which means that it was probably after the first bodyswap we see with Taki in Mitsuha.

Unless their memories while bodyswapped are the memories they had at the year the other person was in, meaning while swapped Taki only had his junior high memories and Mitsuha had her memories up until death (suggesting that because when Mitsuha sees the double crater she remembers the comet impact).

Also, reading about Taki practicing speaking like Mitsuha was pretty amusing.

One thing I noticed was that he used "atashi" in basically the second time he was swapped, when he kicked over the desk. Did he go through a similar "watashi? watakushi? boku? ore?" scene with Mitsuha's friends?

Probably.

Thought about it a little more.

If they had the memories at the time they mutsubied while body swapped I don't think anything breaks and some things make more sense.

Mitsuha mutsubied Taki at 17/14. It was before the comet hit for both so while bodyswapped neither of them would have had memories of the disaster, Taki wouldn't have known about the town, the dream Taki had when first waking up in Mitsuha's body of meeting her on the train would have been a recent event, Mitsuha reading the お前は誰？ in her notebook would have been about a month before in terms of her memories while in Taki's body.

Importantly Taki wouldn't really have been able to save Itomori because when he swapped into that body he wouldn't remember the stuff from his normal time period.

Taki mutsubied Mitsuha at 17/dead three years. So he had the memories he got while at the library of disaster area and everything in order to make the plans to save the residents and Mitsuha remembered the comet breaking and her death.

Wondering this as well.

Unfortunately this does break my own theory of Taki seeing the comet on the day he delivered the kuchikamizake to the mountain and realizing what was going to happen but losing the memory when swapping back, though if you consider him witnessing the scene as a dream just before he wakes up back in his own body it still kinda works.

I teared up. It was a very nice move. I love sappy stuff like this.

On other detail it would explain is Taki sitting with his legs open in Mitsuha's body.

In junior high (from my experience) students generally wear their gym uniforms under their school uniforms, so the girls are almost always wearing shorts under their skirts and so they don't worry about the way they sit so much. If Taki was just kinda emulating the behavior he knew then it's kinda explainable. Though he would know he wasn't wearing shorts so maybe not.

...

What sake brand tastes remotely close to chewed-rice spit that's been fermented for 3 years?

it's an ok movie

A BOY

Literally any sake. It's always fermented rice.

The one you make yourself. Better get cracking, user.

I doubt most sake has the taste of female virgin spit.

The hell does spit taste like to you?

Obtained a rare Mitsuha.

This movie made me watch sunsets

>sunsets
>not kataware doki

Do the MC's friends remeber them ever acting weird?

LESS MITSUHA CUTES
MORE LEWDS

STOP Mitsuha name calling/verbal abuse.

IS IT REALLY THAT GOOD?
cause it looks like shit desu senpai
not trolling.

>tfw never any good northern hemisphere comets

screw the lewds I'm more intersested in a doujin of Mitsuha and Yotsuha getting obliterated by a meteor

What about lewds that are also cute?

Not terribly lewd, but those legs...

...

Mitsuha the Feetzilla.

I just went to see it again in theatres yesterday and it still managed to fill the house. Wonder how well it would have done with proper marketing.

Funimation was retarded for not giving more effort to this.

OP here, just wrote out a big response and hit esc so i'll try again...

The films animation and artwork are top notch, I don't believe i've seen anything in anime or western cartoons that can match up to it. The soundtrack was absolutely beautiful too. What makes the film so good is the attention to timing between the story, soundtrack and animation. After each re watch, I could only find myself more impressed, each scene is crafted so well, nothing seemed to be remotely out of place.

This is especially apparent during crucial scenes, like the body swapping montage and the final scene, where you can tell just how much attention to detail has been used to get the final product and it does a great job of enhancing the story.

The biggest flaw to the film lies in its plot. Given that the story tackles elements of time differences, body swapping and memories/dreams, there are bound to be a few plot holes, so I can acknowledge that that is an issue. However, I was so impressed by everything that was happening in the movie upon my first few viewings that it didn't really detract from the enjoyment, which is the whole purpose of a movie.

The second issue arises from flaws like unanswered questions, supporting characters not feeling developed enough, and the romance feeling rushed. Shinkai has voiced dissatisfaction with the story too, which he claimed could have been improved upon if they had more time to make the film or something like that. Again, it's a film that runs for just under 2 hours, and despite utilizing that time well, it's just not enough to cover absolutely everything.

cont...

In my opinion, there should have been more time spent on development between Taki and Mitsuha after the zen zen zense montage. The romance between them makes sense given that they were both immersed in the others life, and got to understand what kind of person they were through their interactions in each others bodies. However, the film needed to show that they started to develop feelings for each other while the body swapping was happening.

The other issue I think is with the scene near the end with the meteor. The story should elaborate on how every one actually got out, show the mayor evacuating people to the school, maybe also show tessie consoling Natori and demonstrate a spark of romance between them. Then the story could also potentially show that everyone forgets mitsuhas role in saving the town, following along with the supernatural element.

I certainly think the show is over hyped and a little overrated. There are other stories that would top the charts and surpass it if they had the animation, editing, and fitting soundtrack that Kimi no na wa has

With all that said, I loved it and i'm glad this movie exists

A lot of those points are silly.

Honestly, I don't get what everyone's talking about with plot holes. Whoa they didn't see calendars and shit? No, they had plenty of evidence, calendars or not. But if you saw a calendar on the street dated 2014, what would you think? Time travel isn't an idea anybody leaps at.

Shinkai mostly says that the plot was fine, but he felt the film could've used more animation from Ando's team. If you read the novel, it's paced almost exactly the same.

>The other issue I think is with the scene near the end with the meteor. The story should elaborate on how every one actually got out, show the mayor
You're missing the point. The evacuation doesn't matter. The meteor isn't the villain, like they say, it's "nothing more than a beautiful sight." The emotional climax is Mitsuha gaining the confidence from seeing Taki's note to confront her Father. Actually, in the Novel, the scene ends right after she sees the I love you. Minor details like the evacuation aren't core to the emotionally driven narrative.

Oh God. This image gives me a feeling of extreme comfiness and heart-warming emotion.

I was trying to give a broad response to the other guy
personally I don't think the word plot holes is suitable, regarding who remembers what and when and shit like that can pretty much just be explained from the supernatural element, like why did taki forget mitsuhas name just before he writes it? It worked to enhance the film and create drama so there are no complaints to me

the flaws that I mentioned were more of a personal opinion, I think that the film would have been better if the aspects I mentioned were expanded on

and i know the meteor isn't the whole point of the story. again, its a personal preference, I can understand that the point of the scene is to show Mitsuha get the courage to confront her father, but it doesn't show any change in attitude from her father. Taki in mitsuhas body had confronted him earlier on but the mayor didn't listen, so why would he listen to mitsuha when she confronts him again?

It's worth noting that it's still the best animated thing that i've ever seen. I'm bound to have a very biased opinion on the film anyway and I think the reason I wanted to see things expanded on in certain fields is because i'm just upset the movie wasn't longer hahah

needs version of tsukasa getting snowballed

Koreans have already licensed it for a drama haven't they?
shinkai said in some interview that he's been approached about live action adaptions but he's not gonna be involved with any of them if they do come to fruition.

>I'm more interested in a doujin of Mitsuha and Yotsuha getting sexually obliterated by a meteor
FTFY

When does the Blu-ray come out?

Oh god, the gooks are going to butcher this shit.

Probably the sake I drank at a wedding a bit over a month ago. I dunno what brand it was though, it's probably special stuff you don't buy off a shelf.

End of July. Confirmed.

reddit.com/r/anime/comments/68e419/kimi_no_na_wa_bluray_release_date_2017726/

late july apparently

Glad it's not too far off. I could see it in a theater, but I hear the ending is a tearjerker and I don't want to cry in public.

OP here, I never got to see it in cinemas in Australia. I never go to the cinemas anyway but damn I would have liked to see it on the big screen.

cinemas are dark anyway, cry damn it

i want to watch it a third time tonight

opinions?

tfw you'll never be 三葉's soulmate

I see. Well, thanks for sharing.

life isn't worth living

you're welcome

perfect anime romances make me cry

I wonder how long it will be until there is another film/show that can have the same emotional impact that this film did

I'm in Australia and still waiting to see Koe no katachi because I heard that it's another emotional rollercoaster

oh, i don't know
this is pretty one of a kind
i mean i couldn't actually cry because there were other people in the theatre

i watched sword art online recently and it made me cry a lot
Koe no katachi isn't playing in canada, hope it's good though

apparently it already played in cinemas for a very short time in Australia, but I had no idea. It'll be online late May supposedly, but if its a really good movie you'd want to see it on the big screen.

I heard the SAO film was good, but I wasn't able to enjoy the series so I don't think i'd appreciate the film.

Kimi no na wa is just a great romance because the romance aspect is so unconventional. Shinkai could have been a dick and just ended the movie when they crossed each other on the bridge, but that'd just be 5 centimetres per second all over again. I'm glad they took the happy ending. The moment that Taki and Mitsuha pass each other on the stairs and the music drops my heart sunk, I can't seem to cry when I watch tv shows and movies, but I teared up a little when they turned around

Anyone know how bad the dub is? The sub viewing was today and I missed it, and the only other showing is dubbed.

For reference ive never watched a dub anime aside DBZ as a kid, and ive been holding out on watching the cam-rips to see it in theaters. I don't wanna ruin my first experience..
i swear this isnt a blogpost

You might try listening to the English songs to see if they make you cringe too much. Dream Lantern and Nandemonaiya being awkward and nonsensical convinced me to stay away.

DBZ is the only anime i can watch dubbed, purely because childhood memories of those voice actors, subbed wouldn't sound right.

I haven't seen the dubbed version but I wouldn't recommend it, you're better off just watching it on kissanime or something. The voice acting is really good and i can't imagine they'd get it right dubbed. Also, some of the scenes would probably sound really awkward because of the whole watashi/watakushi ore/boku thing
