Still haven't ever watched my copy of Garden (I'll get to it soon!) but lately I've been having a great time rewatching his other movies with one of my roommates who hadn't seen them before. Hopefully there's a screening near us so we can go to it. As someone who's been a fan of Shinkai for a good while now, it's been kinda surreal to see this suddenly do so well.

Saw it back in July at Anime Expo. Will definitely take some friends to watch again.

Huh, Radwimps is redoing their 4 songs for the dub.
Woah, worst post of 2017

That's the point. The movie turns very heavily at one point and saying anything more would ruin the wow factor and the entire second half.
Let me just say that it starts freaky friday and it ends with everyone crying in the theater. But for the good reasons.
Its amazing
Dont spoil yourselves, don't ruin the movie for yourselves

Chalk me up as another person who didn't really understand all the excitement after watching the trailer, but was blown away by the actual movie.
It really was a great story. Go in with as little information as possible to make the most out of it.

Saw this movie during my stay in Japan and it was one of the highlights. Didn't get a lot of the details since no subs but hoping to catch a subbed version during its US theatrical run!

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.
I would love to be wrong on this but I think they should have made a play for 2017 instead.

Exactly. My brother was peeking the all time he has no interest in anime and he kept saying wow this is amazingly beautiful.
Also the feels oh God why am I crying and why won't it stop pouring Jesus wtf movie you have no right to do this to me

Do you think it can make this much money by appealing only to Otakus?
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.

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.
Cars 3 is releasing in 2017.

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
I think I heard about it through Madman enewsletters and maybe Japanese foundation newsletters.
The theatre wasn't packed when I saw it (chatswood, mandarin centre). But there were a few people there.
edit: to answer your question, its a really good anime, thats why its popular.
Or they were too far away or at inconvenient times, bummed it's not out on blu ray till october as well.HawthorneKitty

Fair enough.
This is true. Favourite movie 2016 and I can't get Zen Zen out of my head.
Not even the best anime movie of 2016. I only went to see it 3 times.
That said, it's good and you should probably see it if you have a chance and you don't outright hate cartoons or anime. It doesn't really have the kind of content that makes anime go down a little roughly with some parts of the foreign audience.

I'd much rather watch A Silent Voice or any of the Kizumonogatari movies again on any given day given the choice, though!
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.

Can't wait for this.
Oh, so it has to be a year without Pixar entirely...
Even then it wouldn't matter now that Disney's out of its slump.

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.

Would love to see this but I really doubt it'll play anywhere within driving distance of me.
I'm fine with Zootopia. But it will probably be Moana. And getting nominated doeant mean shit.

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.

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.

Can someone who has watched this tell me if
is a big spoiler?
I don't see it mentioned in the synopses, but a friend who watched it in Japan just blurted that out to me and I was surprised to hear it. And there's a post in page one of this thread that also mentions it openly.
Just want to know if it's a story element that becomes clear early on, or if it's supposed to be a big twist.
the fact that the story involves time travel
