Everything Burrito posted:Children Who Chase Lost Voices Children Who Chase Lost Voices is really only worth watching to round out Shinkai's filmography. I might as well join in. I haven't watched a lot of movies, so throw me suggestions. My main goal would be to finish all of Miyazaki, especially the earlier stuff, and Satoshi Kon. I've seen the Evangelion Rebuild movies, Redline, Dead Leaves, all of Hosoda except Kemono No Ko, all of Shinkai, and Madoka Magica Rebellion.

Everything Burrito posted:I actually don't like Shinkai that much so I was hoping I might like it better lol As a fellow Shinkai disliker, the best I can say about it is that it does not have a Shinkai-esque story. It seemed to be his attempt at a Miyazaki.

I finally finished all of the Mamoru Hosoda original filmography by watching The Boy and the Beast. This movie turned out to have far more complexity and depth than I thought it would. I thought this would be an action oriented sports-ish coming of age story. Instead, it turned out to be a wonderful and heartfelt reflection on family. Knowing Hosoda's work so far, I really should have expected it. That said, this is an absolutely entertaining movie with great characters and great drama. The few fight scenes in the movie are all fun to watch, but it's obvious that the action scenes aren't the point of the movie. Overall it's not my favorite Hosoda movie - that's still Wolf Children - but it is definitely one of his better ones. Time to wait for his next movie. List: The Boy and the Beast

Xinder posted:but...Your Name was legitimately good??? Your Name is the culmination of Shinkai's efforts to find the least poo poo context with with to tell the same story he's been trying to tell since Voices of a Distant Star and finally succeeding by giving up trying to be clever and just dousing the entire thing in melodrama. With the exception of that one Miyazaki-like fantasy thing. That was bad on it's own merits.
