Woah

It's actually really fucking good. Saw it in the theater a week ago. Some of the best animation I've seen in a long time.

I saw it in theaters as well. It was actually pretty good, and the animation was beautiful!

>It's Harry Potter the anime.

Not even remotely.

There's about 10 minutes of exploring the fun magical college and seeing the actual students and lessons. The rest is a standard Ghibli-style adventure, like a blend of Howl and Castle in the Sky.

To be fair those ten minutes are fucking incredible
The wizard gym is top shit

I'm addicted to the song that plays at the end of the movie. I'm listening to it right now. I hope Studio Ponoc can keep making more, now that Ghibli might be slowing down.

So am I.

>t. people who didn't watch the movie

It may use some of the same aesthetics and visuals from previous films, but the story feels fresh enough and enjoyable to work. Also, Mary Smith is fucking adorable, she makes the movie work.

So it's like Little Witch Academia but less cute?

Everything you just said, but completely backwards.

Not exactly.

Looks 20 Times better than TV LWA already
TV LWA is pure crap.

Anyone else see it?

People with no imagination refer back to their only source of reference.

Saw it in the theater like the others. It was good. Not at all mind-blowing, but good. It was fairly original, certainly not a HP clone. Studio Ponoc's animation was as good as anything I would have expected out of Ghibli, so they haven't lost anything there.

Is it only in theaters?

They had a special premiere showing in theaters in the US on Jan 18th. I don't think it's getting a wide release. Next stop will probably be the blu ray.

Ghibli is fucking trash.

2/10
Could use more effort. See me after class.

Oh god that sounds awful, might as well just cut any pretence of world building.
Why can't they just make a 10 hour film about lessons?
LWA was shit for this too.

>might as well just cut any pretence of world building
If the college really mattered in the grand scheme of things I'd agree with you, but it doesn't. There are two characters associated with the college that figure into the larger plot. What happens at the college itself is pretty much inconsequential, you just need to know that it's a fairly high-functioning place and that these two were heavily involved for a long time. Any more depth would have been a waste of time.

Try watching it before you criticize it.

O god user you really shouldn't have put so much thought into responding to my unironic trash post.
and I will watch it.

It didn't take much time or effort to respond to, don't worry yourself too much over it.

Why are you shilling a children's movie on Sup Forums? Like genuinely grow up or something.

>harry potter
Like we all know the strengths of HP and we all know you aren't comparing the two in that matter.

Preach it brother. They're not trash in that they make a lot of money though. But I do understand your post enough to understand just what you mean and totally agree with you as a fellow adult male. OP will likely necrobump his thread again like always.

Oh? Do share what deep, mature adult male meaning you're able to divine from

>necrobumping OP as usual
As predicted. How much are they paying you?

I'm not the OP. I'm this sad fuck: >necrobumping
Is that the new word for "replying" these days? Sorry sage doesn't work anymore.

Mary made my dick hard. Therefore it's good.
