Koe no Katachi

Slowpoke who finally managed to watch the movie at last.

Not sure if its objectively has qualifications to be "better" than Your Name - but for me it absolutely has better value.

Your Name was great and both looked superb, made one feel and had right culmination being overall perfectly crafted movie: but it was essentially a simple Summer Flick.

Meanwhile Koe no Katachi is first anime that i can compare to one of my favorite movies of all time Beijing Bicycle.

Best KyoAni work so far? Disappearance was great, but there is difference in thematic and depth.

Additionally KnK was much more "cinematic" than Your Name. As Your Name is pretty much formulaic hollywood like perfect formula, everything about KnK is on other side reminiscent of more artistic movies and signature directors.

Storytelling wise it also wins, since it neither "shows" nor "tells" - it vaguelly hints everything, not telling viewer how to react, think and feel.

Manga story might be not perfect and it somewhat reflects in movie, but the quality of the movie itself is excellent, worth every minute (and its quite long).

Since of this year, KyoAni is KinoAni instead -focusing on movies for 2017 and 2018 and seeing the results of their work i can only look forward to it with excitement.

Is Yamada the Sofia Coppola of anime?

The movie is shit, as in almost all cases read the manga instead.

Well I basically agree with you user. But reading KnK manga after having watched the movie and then rewatch the movie makes it look a bit incomplete. I agree both it and Your Name are beautiful (watched both three times in a few weeks, would love to find something similar)

>Not sure if its objectively has qualifications to be "better" than Your Name
No arbitrary amnesia, no random time travel and no plot holes. So yeah, it's easily a better movie than your name.

>Calling Koe no katachi by its japanese name and Your name by its english name

Nigga what are you doing.

Please learn to be objective, even if you read the manga first the movie is clearly superior

Enjoyment isn't objective.

>this?

just use one break for sentences and double breaks for paragraph

I agree with you. Koe no Katachi is much more non conventional, I wouldn't call it arthouse, but it definitly doesn't feels like a hollywood flick. God bless Yamada
Kimi no na Wa is fast food, looks good and is easy to digest, but it isn't a meal you'll remember.

Wasted dubs. Please stop spreading memespacing complaints.

but it's hard to read

>objectively
Nigga of you like it more than your name then it's a better movie than your name to you. There is no way to judge any art objectively and it's 100% subjective. Don't need to justify you enjoying something.

Koe no Katachi=Film
Kimi no na Wa=Flick

not even friendly negro saved this for me

Not as good as the first digimon movie tho

Manga and the movie are both trash. Terrible open ended romance

This is one complaint I don't get. The entire theme was them moving forward with life. At the ending they're finally at a stage where dating each other wouldn't be awkward, but could still be friends with no detriment to the story.

Fuck off back to Sup Forums, you goddamn newfag.

Watch the movie or read the manga first? I've heard I should read the first volume first so I can get the story of when they're kids since the movie glosses over it.

I haven't been on Sup Forums much all this year due to work, so I'm happy to see a well written opinion on this that I agree with.

Manga first fully

Huh? What does it matter which one is better?

If you don't want to hate the movie watch that first then read the manga.
Reading the first volume before the movie might be a good idea, but the movie glosses over a lot of things even after the childhood arc.
