So has anyone else seen this anime? It's been a huge hit in Japan this year and just got a limited cinema release in the UK. I saw it today and it's really good, very funny in places and looks stunning.

Yup! Really wonderful movie and I look forward to getting the blu ray. It was really funny in places and hard hitting in others. The entire screening burst into applause when the credits rolled. I can see why it's performing so well and breaking so many records. I read it's currently the 6th highest grossing film of all time in Japan, going above Princess Mononoke.Quote:

We tried to go see it the other day when it was out in Cineworld, but it was sold out. :( We went home and watched Summer Wars instead. xD
Well it's not quite as good as Summer Wars (a film that manages to make a card game thrilling) but hope you get to see it at some point.Quote:

unless you're asking about SUMMER WARS which is about summer vacation + mmo's + facebook + hacking + ai + family + math
i really liked summer wars
Finally got round to seeing it!
Absolutely worth the wait. It was a beautiful movie in content and in visual design.
I had to go listen to all the songs again when this thread popped back up! :cry: How did you like Taki and Mitsuha?Quote:

Seen it twice looking to go see it a third time. What a beautiful piece of work it is!!
I think they've announced an April release date in the US
They have indeed. I still can't believe it hasn't been to US theaters yet. When does the UK ever get anything first that doesn't involve completely collapsing it's economy?
