Is this movie a commentary about how socially retarded japanese are? Because everything could have been resolved with proper communication
>>134426968
How so?
Shinkai is the social retard. He's made his films about how much of a pariah he is. He hates himself and he wants to die.
>>134426968
Each and every anime could have been resolved through conversation.
>>134427079
>>134427079
Wow, just like in real life.
>>134426968
>Japanese
In my experience that's a pretty universal human trait. It's even funnier hearing that coming from an /a/non.
>>134426968
Mostly about being beta, nice atmosphere though.
>>134427152
Evangelion most of all actually.
>>134426968
No, it's about trains, pretty backgrounds and Kanae.
>>134426968
"nobody is fucking telling each other anything" is one of the most common tropes in anime
in terms of commentaries, proper communication isn't as easy as you make it sound Anon
>>134430799
Communication in Kagerou Daze is so good that it's actually unrealistic.
>>134426968
>Is this movie a commentary about how socially retarded japanese are?
Yes
/threadThe worst part about it is that she never got over him, but got married anyway.
>>134433009
She didn't, there were scenographical clues in the final ark (pay attention to the train scenes)...
>>134426968
I don't read runes. Give title pls.
>>134434020
Boku no pico
should have married surfer girl
>>134426968
Shinkai is a fucking hack.
>>134434020
Go fuck yourself.
>>134434104
Agreed.
dude kids in love lmao
Shinkai fucking blows.
>>134426968
>proper communication
>with a woman
ha, I bet you have never had a girlfriend.
>>134434227
Hello Ching Chong. How do you like your dog?
>>134434286
Suck my limp dick
>>134434104
I believe he did.
If only they had Facebook then.
>>134434256
>muh traced real life images of Japan
>muh saccharine sweet longing and unrequited love
Anime is fucked with a hack like him at the helm.
>>134426968
I preferred voices of a distant start, at least there was a reason as to why they couldn't communicate with each other for such long periods of time.
>>134433295
wtf are you talking about?
>>134434829
>at least there was a reason as to why they couldn't communicate with each other for such long periods of time
There are psychological reasons why people fail to communicate and this commonly happens in human relationships, you autistic piece of shit.
You are the perfect example of why people hate spergs.
>>134434256
>>134434776
>can't appreciate sentimentality
>>134426968
>proper communicatio
This is 90s no Facebook,no Internet you can only use letter or phone call
>>134432466
>spoiler
I don't know if you're talking about film or your ex, but you're in either case.
Kotonoh no Niwa was better anyway.
Cake and foot fetish plus an ending that guarantees that the MC will get in touch with the HanaKana-voiced teacher for future sexy times made it better overall.
>>134433295
Then it should be of no trouble to you to list some of those scenographical clues (lol) so that the poor cinematorgraphically blind anons know what they're looking for.
>>134437426
The ending was cringeworthy. All that crying holy shit, almost as bad as Ano Hana
>>134426968
This movie was pretty retarded. It looked nice though.
>>134426968
How? They moved away! They drifted apart in life. Exactly what were they supposed to do?
>83.7% of men who turned 20 that year were not dating anyone, with 49.3% stating they had never had a girlfriend.
JUST LIKE US
>>134438749
Who are you quoting?
>>134439644
japanese sexuality survey
>>134426968
That's how you can tell if a writer is a hack or not. If a conflict can be resolved with sensible conversation or the characters not being purposely obtuse and the story doesn't acknowledge that then its a shit story.
>>134441665
I guess real life is a hack then, because that shit happens all the time.
But emotions and shit.
People drift apart with time. That's was the point.
>>134442136
Couldn't they just talk about not drifting apart tho?
The song made the film by itself.
>>134442796
Once I saw that part in the film, I cried for a good 20 minutes. Shit hit me hard.
>>134442796
Which one?
>>134426968
It's basically taking that "we'll always be friends even if we get separated" thing that graduation episodes do and playing it out how it actually happens in the real world.
Remember that holding on to your old dreams will only make it impossible to experience any new dreams and will turn you into an empty husk waiting for something that will never happen.
>>134427032
How did he get to make a movie if he's actually a social retard?
>>134444329
take a guess
>>134442796
this
Most problems in real life could be solved by proper communication.
ITT: Autism can't into emotions
>>134445770
The MC is emotionally dead by the end. How do you expect the audience to give a shit when even the MC has given up or barely reacts to it?
>>134446243
Because the rest of the movie shows the circumstances that led up to that point? I fail to see why people would lose interest because it shows melancholy.
>>134445146
One More Time, One More Chance?
>>134441665
>If a conflict can be resolved with sensible conversation
It couldn't because the conflict of the story wasn't the romance, if it was then the girl would have had the same problems. It was an internal conflict. Communication doesn't solve not recognizing your psychological issues.
>>134426968
"communication" is western for "I'll just harangue you till you agree to my methods"
Fuck off forever
>>134446243
>How do you expect the audience to give a shit when even the MC has given up or barely reacts to it?
Now THIS is what self-inserting is.

First 2 thirds were great
Then the last act happened
Finally the awful song started playing and finished off anthing decent in movie

>First 2 thirds were great

>Finally the awful song started playing and finished off anthing decent in movie
This is exactly how I felt about the movie.
I honestly liked it, kinda wanted to cry, because few things hit too close to home. But I didn't feel it like a social commentary, people grow apart, that's like that everywhere.
>>134447746
>>134447792
First act was great
Second act was shit
Third act was okay
And the song was great
>>134426968
>everything could have been resolved with proper communication
This applies to literally every single anime in existence
>>134434444
Yes
>>134448727
I doubt it. There are a lot of shows with just plain evil villains and talking isn't going to accomplish anything.
This is a good anime and autists that overreact to it being too sentimental are tunnel-visioning.
TONS of loved anime on /a/ has overly sentimental themes but this one deals with growing older and out of love. A lot of /a/ folk can't relate to that, plain and simple
>>134426968
Jesus, this thread is terrible. It's a great look at a failed relationship and the inability of one party to move on, while the other is capable of recognizing the significance of it all without reverting to the past.
Although it meant, and still means so much to her, she moved on, whereas he missed opportunity after opportunity to be happy because he refused to stop feeling sorry for himself.
That fact alone sheds light on why this movie is particularly polarizing on 4chan, because it cuts just a little too deep for most of the users here.

What a fucking loser

Ehh not really.
>>134449392
Shut the fuck up, I'm talking to /a/ and you are not /a/. Let me know about your own personal progress next time I hit up your blog, though, dipshit, now fuck back off to reddit, and then go outside and find a dumpster to climb into because you live there from now on.
>>134449392
He explained it very accurately actually. You should try making constructive posts sometime too.
>>134449559
>implying /a/ is a single person
>being this butthurt
IIRC the first part takes place in time before cell phones were a common thing,He also loses her phone number or some shit
>>134449392
watch more SOA and Tokyo Ghoul. I bet you can relate to that, dipshit.
>>134451262
Sorry I don't watch beta chuuni shows though I guess this movie does count for having a beta MC huh.
>>134451388
Tokyo Ghoul is most certainly not a beta chuuni show. Any chuuni would be happy to become a ghoul given the immortality and extreme power associated with such an existence. Meanwhile the main of TG whines about it forever and is supremely annoying in doing so.
Source: I am a chuuni
>>134448727
Wouldn't work against guys like Chuck.
Those types are completely deluded.
>>134434444
quads confirm this
>>134426968
Why is the poster art with Kanae? What purpose did that serve,; hell, what purpose did the entire movie serve?
I don't even feel mad at the ending, just sympathetic towards MC and his crushingly depressing ending.
Why is it that only underage or emotionally stunted fags love this movie?
Shinkai is shit, and he's not even his best work. I don't get it.
>>134437426
Happy ends > sad ends
>>134454064
What statistics are you basing this on?
>>134454106
Melancholy end > *
Man, I love shoujo manga and I read my fair share of old school yuri with all the suffering and one sided "move on", I still found this movie boring as fuck.
He failed to not make the mc appear like a little shit.
idk about the movie, but i think this thread is about how socially retarded /a/ is
>>134455563
I don't think the goal was to make the MC look good, but you are the expert with your old school yuri and shoujo manga knowledge.
>>134456085
>but you are the expert with your old school yuri and shoujo manga knowledge
>>134438065
Hmm, no. How about you just go fuck yourself?
>>134445142
Because he did his first movie entirely by himself, and it was pretty good, so execs gave him money to work with.
