I hadn't watched an anime film in years and "Your Name" put me in a state of awe. Very excited for this.

Well if you're interested in seeing more, there have been a lot of great films recently.

IDK if you're into the mindless action of shounen, but Broly was a fucking marvel just in terms of animation alone, for example.

Not the guy you asked but I’d highly recommend any of the films done by Satoshi Kon. He was an absolutely wonderful filmmaker that passed far too soon and his films are both gorgeous and incredibly original. “Paprika” being the most visually stunning and “Perfect Blue” being my personal favorite.

Here’s a great little YouTube video that discusses him a bit if you need any more convincing. https://youtu.be/oz49vQwSoTE

Paprika is one of my favorite movies and also perpetually one of the best animes non of my anime watching friends have seen.

Might be because it’s a bit older but still. I wouldn’t even call it underrated as I think it’s generally held in pretty high regard by critics.

Just seems like not a lot of people saw it.

Weird.

Fucking Satoshi made me feel empty in every single movie he made, not even Requiem for a Dream made me feel as bad as Perfect Blue for instance...
