You Are Umasou

Other titles: Omae Umasou da na

Released in Japanese theaters last October 2010, You Are Umasou tells a tale about a Maiasaura mother (simply referred to as Mom) who found a lost egg. When a stampede of egg eaters nearly killed her eggs, leaving only one of her own eggs plus the lost one, she loved them both, raising the older brother Light and the younger one, from the lost egg, Heart.

Heart of course was different, and soon he realized that he was a Tyrannosaurus rex. After a fateful encounter while saving his brother, he came to a conclusion that he was a meat eater, and tried to find his own place. Through his journey, he encountered a baby Ankylosaur, who mistakes him as a father and his phrase "you are delicious (delicious = umasou)" as a name.

My personal reaction? Well... it's summed up by this picture.

It has an amazing mix of emotional drama, light-hearted fun, and well... badass dinosaur fights. Seriously, they have amazing choreography in those climactic and action-ridden moments. Just look...

Cast:
Heart is Kappei Yamagi, notable for Death Note's L and One Piece's Usopp
Mom is Tomoyo Harada
Light is Seishiro Kat

Outside of Japan?

Sadly it's not yet released outside of Japan. Your only hope so far is the internet.

Ah thanks. So that was it.

How come the trailer made it like it's some Land Before Time with moe?

Instro · May 2, 2011

Yeah its You are Umasou, havent had a chance to watch it yet but its well liked by animeGAF.

Boss Doggie · May 2, 2011

So I did a little research, and it's a children's book? How come it has that scene?!

flawfuls · May 2, 2011

You are Umasou is an amazing movie.

hateradio · May 2, 2011

There are far more violent children's anime.

Violence in children stories in nothing new. The Grimm Fairy Tales are way worse.

What you're calling moe isn't moe. It's just a nice children's movie.

Watched it a month ago.

Time to search for it then. Heart looks awesome in those clips!

Yeah but they're not animated

(Yes I know about them being violent

)

Cels · May 2, 2011

holy crap this looks awesome

Teaser, Trailer

A lovely film.

Fairy tales weren't aimed at children, though.

Dresden · May 2, 2011

Umasou is good. You dudes should watch it.

Geneijin · May 2, 2011

Just don't expect tons of action when watching it because there isn't too much of it. Basing your expectations on those .gifs might backfire on you. The trailer and teaser are more telling what kind of movie it is.

The times when Heart fights are usually during a serious plot/character development.

Regulus Tera · May 2, 2011

CAN THIS PLZ BE THE OFFICIAL THREAD FOR THIS MOVIE

CAUSE THIS MOVIE WAS AWESOME AND YOU SHOULD WATCH IT

Ratrat · May 2, 2011

is that moe baby dino thing supposed to be a boy?

Yes. That's how Japanese boys sound like, yes.

I kinda expected that from the trailer. It's sorta like that movie with a wolf and a gay goat kid (One Stormy Night, I think).

Arashi no yoru ni? The goat baby is gay?

Soloist · May 2, 2011

You are Umasou

Awesome, it should be a mandatory movie for most children(and adults too!)

He's not a kid, and he has that vibe <_<

the_log_ride · May 2, 2011

I MUST WATCH THIS

Boss Doggie · May 3, 2011

Okay, I found it. You guys say it's good eh?

Boss Doggie · May 7, 2011

Okay, I finally got to watch it.

HOLY SHIT

No spoilers.

I love how the movie unravels itself. Heart develops quite a strong character. Umasou I thought was annoying but then his voice really got me.

Ellis Kim · May 7, 2011

wow, I may just watch this then.

Boss Doggie · May 7, 2011

I requested a mod to make this thread into an OT.

I always want to watch this in my HDTV but it's softsubs

Solune · May 7, 2011

I know people are joking, but the "moe" shit should stop. This is one of the best films you'll watch in a while. It's nostalgic, refreshing, and amazing. And most important it's about dinosaurs being bros.

BudokaiMR2 · May 7, 2011

*umasou means delicious looking

Boss Doggie · May 7, 2011

It's also the ankylosaur baby's name (well, what it thinks anyway)

BudokaiMR2 · May 7, 2011

I'm thinking about going to find it at Tsutaya today. Girlfriend will probably love it as well. Might even get some friends over to watch it!

I have been wanting to watch something like this, even if just to get away from the pimp slapping drama that is Zeta Gundam.

Flek · May 7, 2011

waaah i want to watch this, how / where are you guys watching this? Or are you all speaking japanese?

I would put The Lion King in the third panel.

This picture alone will now make me wanna watch it.

dallow_bg · May 7, 2011

Is this on Blu-Ray or something so I can watch it?"

Jex · May 7, 2011

This is certainly an excellent animated movie, and one of the few non-Ghibli works that will likely appeal to a wide variety of audiences. I mean, it's all about those traditional values, such as family, but it also features dinosaurs break dancing. It's an amazing combination.

It's kind of a Pixar/Disney/Ghibli level experience. Which is mighty impressive.

You really now how to sell people on it Jexhius.

*goes off and searches for a release*

I thought it was a bit more different than that.

Also the choreography. THE CHOREOGRAPHY MAN!

Geneijin · May 7, 2011

Glad you liked it.

Now be disappointed as I am that there is no news of any licensing as of now.

Yeah, Finding Nemo would be a better choice of words.

You are Umasou > Finding Nemo

Boss Doggie · May 7, 2011

Damn right it is!

dallow_bg said:

In Japan only, sadly

Geneijin · May 7, 2011

If and when you get approved by a mod to make this an OT, a title change and a proper OP would be nice.

Regulus Tera · May 7, 2011

We need to vote on a subtitle. A clever one preferably.

Sadly I can think of none.

Boss Doggie · May 7, 2011

Manly dinosaur tears and you are already extinct?

SonicMegaDrive · May 7, 2011

What's this? An anime that doesn't involve sexualized underage girls, pretty boys, or nonstop talking heads?

I might just have to check this out.

Regulus Tera · May 7, 2011

One thing I liked about this movie is that it did not shy away from showing the consequences of violence yet it was not gory at all. It's pretty powerful stuff for a children's movie.
