Then again, in general, I find that immature and incompetent main characters (like Subaru) generally leads to far more interesting setups. Because when the main character is a dumbass, then the other characters generally have to explain themselves to the lead character all the time. Which leads to natural expositions and better setups.
Its kinda odd: he's genre-savvy: he knows how these fights generally go and is probably a good analogue for my thoughts. Maybe it goes with that rule of thumb of detective / mystery stories: make the point-of-view character slightly dumber than the audience. (Watson exists so that Sherlock Holmes can explain to him the mysteries, which reveals to the audience what is going on. Similarly, Subaru exists so that we the audience can explore the world from his perspective). They erred on the side of "too dumb" here IMO however.
In any case, its a great anime. Definitely enjoying it so far.

Very nice movie; however it is about teenagers, but I don't know if many teenagers would enjoy it.

Why the story of body-swapping teenagers has gripped Japan
A Japanese film has made history by becoming the first animation not made by the legendary Studio Ghibli to rake in more than 10bn yen (£76m; $98m) in a month. But what exactly is it that has been drawing in the crowds?

edit. Oh yeas I had a question, too.
Anybody here know anything about this film or director?

Some of his work, especially the earlier stuff, can sometimes be a bit more style than substance, but generally he's really good at setting a mood with stunning visuals. If you haven't heard of his work before, The Garden of Words (Koto no Ha no Niwa) is one of my favourites, although it does touch on a tricky subject, and Children Who Chase Lost Voices (Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo) is also really good.
Yes, his work is great. Also responsible for the fantastic Digimon movie, titled "Summer Wars".Derek wrote:ConMan wrote:Makoto Shinkai is an incredibly talented animator, and I am looking forward to watching Kimi No Na Wa.

Five Centimeters per Second is probably his most famous work, and personally my favorite is Voices of a Distant Star.
Though as current anime directors go, I'm partial to Mamoru Hosoda (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Wolf Children, The Boy and the Beast, etc.).

Hmm, that description makes me reconsider watching it. (don't elaborate!)

The dub is legitimate good and has an amazing soundtrack.

Grop wrote:I almost missed 3-gatsu no Lion (aka March Comes in like a Lion). Anyone watching this show? It's produced by Shaft and is quite nice I think (only seen 6 episodes so far).
Apart from that, this season was quite disappointing, and I mostly watched sequels.
