I dont know much about it beyond very highly reviewed and that it is, in part

abou the touhoku earthquake and trauma

so I'm like "this is definitely going to hit some buttons"

I really wanna see it, the trailer I saw immediately had me hooked

all i know about this movie is someone in charge initially wanted it to be wlw but werent allowed so they made the LI a chair

LMFAO

that explains some things

I have defintiely heard this one is less agonizingly heterosexual than Makoto Shinkai's other works

derkins: omg that explains so much

i remember seeing the trailer ages ago and without knowing literally anything about it rolled my eyes like WOW THEY RLY WILL SHIP GIRL/CHAIR SO LONG AS THE CHAIRS A GUY HUH but now i have this context.....

I legit had the same reaction

Ladies is it gay to wanna kiss a literal chair

Oh I actually felt it was more aggressively heterosexual

it was pretty heterosexual

It was, I still don’t know if it was as heterosexual as some of the others, but they really sprinted for the finish line in the final 20 mins

LMFAO

THEY SURE DID

I REALLY LIKED IT THOUGH

I haven't seen any of the director's other films so I can't really compare, but.

Loved that they jsut made a guy a chair

YEAH I ENJOYED IT TOO

Watching a chair galloping at full speed 10/10

A child’s chair even

amazing, full marks

We got tricked into seeing the dub which was perfectly passable

But I strongly feel like there were a lot of little things that didn’t quite work in English because they end up a bit removed from their cultural context?

(Also shout out to the weird/good/?? Choice to still for some reason everyone’s karaoke and road sing alongs be Japanese?)
