Extended version of "In This Corner of the World" slated for December

Yeah but one was highly anticipated and the other critically acclaimed. I wasn't crazy about them either

Assuming you're just a contrarian faggot, but I'm curious to hear what you have to say.

Not him, but:
- Your Name
entertaining, and that's it;
- Silent Voice
Borderline oscar-bait style movie that boils down to boy meets girl in the end. The manga had a bunch of substance that was left out in favor of tear-jerk scenes. A beautiful movie, but what had to say about it's subject?

All the Corners was simply a better movie, technically and artistically.
It's not hard to understand why it won more awards than all others combined that year.

Interested in this. I think Katabuchi is probably a good director and I liked the original manga a lot, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed by the anime adaption.

I agree that In This Corner is the one most deserving to be called a masterpiece (and that Silent Voice is the opposite), but I find Your Name very engaging in that it had a more likable ending than In This Corner's. The weakest part I see with In This Corner is the inclusion of the daughter-like replacement in the family who only came at the ending, which feels really unnatural and almost too much a good thing for what the story was going through in accepting reality and Harumi's death. I understand it's to establish a strong happy ending in a swift time, but I just could not find it fitting. Other than that, the film really is spectacular in every category and Im really looking forward to this extended version..

My interpretation is that, "look, other families suffered, were destroyed. But some can unite and be made whole again to overcome this", something like that.

I personally liked Your Name more, but I would actually disagree with your argument that the little girl they adopted detracted from the tragedy of Harumi's demise at all. She doesn't really feel like a replacement. We actually see snippets of her living with her mother, the dropping of the bomb, and when her mother dies. We even see some of her interactions with the Houjous after she's adopted, and a lot is different. Harumi didn't really seem to interact with anyone besides Keiko, who acts as her mom (because she is her mom), and Suzu, who is a doing aunt and also kind of her friend (because she's Suzu). Everyone seems to interact with the new kid, but she feels more like a daughter to Suzu and Shuusaku. Rather than feel like a replacement to Harumi, she feels like both a symbol of their relationship to each other, as well as her own character that's been bereaved by the bombing that destroyed so much of Suzi's hometown. She doesn't lessen the loss of Harumi in that manner, and she actually kind of gives more depth to the loss in the story, even if she's now able to find a happy home with Suzu and her family.
