Its because of people like this that Americans will get a horrible english track to replace it. ughIs the song in the trailer from the score? Its atrocious.

Watched the trailer. Looked like Freaky Friday.
I'm sure that's woefully underselling it, but the trailer definitely didn't blow me away or present any crazy unique concepts.
Given the strength of the other animated features this year, I feel the last-minute eligibility screening in Los Angeles was a mistake. I mean, it's a thoughtful gesture that the LA Film Critics doled out their Best Animated Feature award for it... but there's almost no chance of it landing an Oscar nom up against the likes of Zootopia, Kubo, Moana, Finding Dory, The Red Turtle and whatever title GKIDS is backing (which seems to be My Life as a Zucchini). Considering that GKIDS has a 3-year nomination streak running, my expectations is that Dory will get squeezed out from the above group.It's pretty great, it is not better than the Miyazaki films it has outgrossed, but it is fantastic. I think it deserves an oscar nom at the least.
its art form good, not even just movie goodSo is this good or just anime good?

I would love to be wrong on this but I think they should have made a play for 2017 instead.
Oh I have no doubt that's what they wanted. I just don't think FUNi has the political clout to topple the GKIDS/Ghibli lobbies... and the other 3 films are veritable locks.I'm sure they wanted the Oscar nom to help push theater sales. That and the band who did songs for this movie are redoing them in English so that probably took some time.
Its not going to win the oscar. It took Miyazaki's Spirited Away vs Pixar's Cars for an anime film to finally win. That kind of quality gap wont happen again for a long time if ever.
it looks good.
How did it become so popular?
I have seen shit all advertisement in Aus.
I assume word of mouth just exploded
Both :3I can't wait to see it! I wonder if I should see the dubbed or subbed version?
You can't have heard that about anime because this took the record from a film that came out in 2001.

Oh, so it has to be a year without Pixar entirely...Uuuuhh, Cars was in '06. Spirited Away actually went up against Ice Age, Lilo & Stitch, Spirit and Treasure Planet. Spirited Away not winning that year would've been a scandal.
But I agree, it will not win the Oscar. Disney will snub it away again because of either Zootopia or Moana. I loved Zootopia, but Your Name winning would be amazing.
Guess I'll have the opportunity to see what all the buzz is about.

Sounds decent. I'll have to hear the whole thing.Snippet of Zenzenzense in English

I'm fine with Zootopia. But it will probably be Moana. And getting nominated doeant mean shit.This discussion wasn't even about winning an Oscar.
It was about getting a nomination and netting exposure from that.
Winning isn't even in the equation. That honor is going to Zootopia. Which is a better film than Your Name so I'm perfectly fine with that.

Can I buy tickets yet?For East Coast people, the film's actually going to be one of the selections in the New York International Children's Film Festival, February 25th in the evening.
Japanese with English subtitles.
Can I buy tickets yet?
Got ya, thanks. Realized after I posted I'm going to be in New Orleans during the premiere, but I'm sure it'll be at IFC (and hopefully other theaters) in April. Huge Shinkai fan here, hate that I have to keep waiting, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel.Sometime next week, they open up for the general public.
If one is a member of the group connected to the NYICFF, then they can buy tickets now.
