It's beautifully animated and drawn, but the plot is paper thin. The main protag just whines in a melodramatic fashion about problems he creates himself
>waah, even though this hot tomboy chick is all over my dick in this new place I moved to I still PINE and YEARN for my childhood sweetheart who lives... ONE HOUR AWAY BY TRAIN (an insurmountable obstacle as you can see) that I just cut contact with because I can't be assed to take the train, woe is me
Are they actually marketed as sci-fi in Japan? All the sci-fi is incredibly incidental and basically just magical realism plot devices more than anything.
They all have the same sappy mindnumbing piano music too.
I relate to his laziness even more. After all I'm too lazy to attend parties or go to fancy trips, which is what roasties expect men to do in order to find love
Your name is actually good though, if you ignore some minor plotholes. Another one that's good and kind of similar is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki o Kakeru Shōjo)
I really fricking hate Shinkai to the point it's irrational. Like his movies aren't that bad they're all just mediocre slop that people worship for some reason. But it deeply offends me.
Same, I actually like his earlier shorts, but his actual films are like 4/10 generic J-Dramas (literally the worst kind and most generic of Asian drama) that everyone goes "10/10 NEXT MIYAZAKI/ANNO" for because they have nice backgrounds.
Your name was a wild ride. Was not expecting the town to be destroyed. I think most of my enjoyment came from that. Probably wouldn’t enjoy it on a rewatch
Shinkai movies are are generally decently watchable at best for me. 5cm though i thought was quite poor i couldn't get invested in the characters even a little bit.
You shouldn't, because they seem to basically be making the same movie over and over, refining it every time. Your name is the only one I've seen that I thought was actually genuinely good, 5cm a second feels like a prototype version
That ending was kino
I cry every time when they just walk past each other.
None of them is brave enough to make a first step.
Just like IRL you arent brave enough to talk to a girl you like.
Before "Your Name" made him a household name I would often recommend 5cm and Garden of Words to a lot of people and they'd never watch it. Now that he's popular by making literally the same old movies over and over I refuse to watch them out of spite. Frick normalgays.
The bento box scene at the train station in 5cm is the most beautiful and poignant depiction of childhood innocence and young love in any piece of media whatsoever. Absolutely purified and concentrated weapons grade heartboner.
Part 1 is absolute kino, and you know it.
>anime
>kino
Pick ONE
yeah part 2 is dog shit tho
>Makoto Shinkai
And I'm out. Lovely wallpaper creator. Not much else
this
the guy has a mental problem unironically, why put so much effort into making a beautiful movie and just not give a shit about thinking of plot?
lmao
What's so bad about it, never seen any anime shit before
just not interesting to watch. story slogs on at a snail's pace. nothing happens
It's beautifully animated and drawn, but the plot is paper thin. The main protag just whines in a melodramatic fashion about problems he creates himself

>ONE HOUR AWAY BY TRAIN (an insurmountable obstacle as you can see)
925 miles is a pretty insurmountable distance for a 13-year old m8
pshh, not if it's true love
Jap boys need to step it up.
Shinkai's movies are all presented and marketed as scifi, but they're all actually just coming of age/romance movies aimed at 12 year old girls.
Anime as a medium is full of this kind of bait and switch bullshit.

Uh... so you didn't want to turn if off too quickly?
>The next Miyazaki..
Yeah, Goro Miyazaki.
Goro's movies are legitimately some of the worst movies in the Ghibli canon, even Hayao thinks so.
The one about some port city in the 60s was cute enough.
From up on poppy hill, and I agree
From Up on Poppy Hill is really good.
Brutal
Literally laughed out loud
Zing!
>become a lonely wageslave alcoholic who lives alone because you missed out on what could have been
It's a generic feel but at least the movie is pretty.
I honestly relate quite a bit to Tohno's brooding and obsessing over lost love. It's very Byronic
But the moron only "lost" love because he was too lazy to take a train
I relate to his laziness even more. After all I'm too lazy to attend parties or go to fancy trips, which is what roasties expect men to do in order to find love
Roasties don't expect anything from men, but it will make you far more interesting if you've done interesting things in your life.
ok?
>Roasties don't expect anything from men,
not even roasties could bring themselves to make that statement
I've got official BD+DVD set of this film.With bonus disc.
What's on the bonus disk?
Storyboards and mini-doc.
Bones.
keking heartily picturing OP's slow baby steps fatly waddling to the screen
there is another one that weaboos love to jerk off to called your name that also sucks ass
this is frickin priceless
Your name is actually good though, if you ignore some minor plotholes. Another one that's good and kind of similar is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Toki o Kakeru Shōjo)
>if you ignore some minor plotholes.
Could you give me some examples?
The fact that the guy never looks at an almanac and says "huh, that's weird"
Anime is riddled with those kinds of movies, every "prestige" anime film since spirited away is like them.
Sure, and some are good, some are bad
were you crying so hard that you could do it faster or what?
5cm per second is not even a walking speed
Yup, it fricking sucks. Your name was a masterpiece thoughever
every shinkai joint is
>teen love...is le sad??
followed by a radwimps MV sequence
young love is unironically the obsession of every culture on earth. you really can't escape it
I've seen it on release in the cinema. Part 1 and 2 are good. The only good thing about part 3 is the final song.
ITSUDEMO SAGASHITE IRU YO
DOKKA NI KIMI NO SUGATA WO
dont frick with me
you'd like the fast and the furious series more
Thread music
5 cm per sec is pretty slow you mongoloid
The ED song is kino
>anime is for children
>incels complain it's too childish
lol
Creator is in love with the medium but sucks ass at telling an engaging story. Many such cases.
I really fricking hate Shinkai to the point it's irrational. Like his movies aren't that bad they're all just mediocre slop that people worship for some reason. But it deeply offends me.

gay. i like shinkai's use of modern japan and branding. he's got the success behind him. you have shit taste.
5 centimeters per second is the name of my sex tape.
Same but only "5 centimeters".
Movie proves that men are more loving, loyal and romantic than womeme. prostitutes.
what is that in american units?
like 1 inch per hour?
One little-toe-length per fractional sun-movement
Shinkai movies are are generally decently watchable at best for me. 5cm though i thought was quite poor i couldn't get invested in the characters even a little bit.
I saw your name and liked it but nothing about it made me want to watch another of these guys movies
You shouldn't, because they seem to basically be making the same movie over and over, refining it every time. Your name is the only one I've seen that I thought was actually genuinely good, 5cm a second feels like a prototype version
Weird
>"The next miyazaki.......he is not"
For me it's this.
That ending was kino
I cry every time when they just walk past each other.
None of them is brave enough to make a first step.
Just like IRL you arent brave enough to talk to a girl you like.
Isn't that garden of words? The ending is more optimistic and implies that they do end up together.
Pain. I fricking hate it
imagine watching japanese cartoons

>baits viewers in as a sappy love story between 2 young people
>ends in NTR
weebs btfo
>5 centimeters per second is how fast I walked from the couch to the TV
so very slowly?
why are you fat?
