Poll of the Day > Kimi no na Wa was a masterpiece of animated cinema

(+) Yeah! (+)

Blu-Ray is available for those that don't know. I'm glad I held out, the quality of the animation and art in this movie deserved it.

I highly recommend watching this. Will be purchasing a dual audio Blu-ray if that is ever available.

About damn time. I'll watch it next week, when I can download it.

I'm always down for a movie about a dude swapping bodies with a girl.

Koe no Katachi was better.

Makoto Shinkai is just the best.

Can't you just say Your Name or do you legally need to warn people that you're a weeb.

You need to consider that most anime are made without english audience in mind. I'm guessing like 70% of anime either have a title that doesn't translate into english (FLCL, Yuru Yuri), or is already english (Cowboy Bebop, One Punch Man). The ones that do get an official english title are either have to reach mainstream, or translated/named so by fans because the japanese title is too damn long. Naturally, this gives rise to just calling anime by their japanese titles because you can't go wrong and it's been there at the start.

Also, people discuss anime among anime fans as per usual as opposed to with non anime fans, so no one gives a shit if you use the japanese or english title; we're all weebs.

I had to look up the Japanese title, but it looks like it's Your Name? I thought it was alright. It was at least better than 5 Centimeters Per Second, which I didn't enjoy at all.

Have you ever seen a topic on the Pokemon or Digimon boards?

I respectfully disagree. It was good and all, but Your Name. blew it out of the water, I think.

I was actually gonna watch Koe no whatever sometime soon. I never heard about it until a few days ago but it peaked my interest.
