Why does it have so much cultural influence? Its good but its really not that special
Maybe the original novel did, but Hosoda's movie does not
>>287434726It was that special to the people that praised it the mostthis has been today's lesson on "theory of mind"
>>287434726It's literally just that meme picture.That's it.
>>287434726It's just a poor man's time travel anime storyI haven't seen anyone even mention Girl Who Leapt Through Time in maybe 10 years
>>287434726Right time, right place sort of thing.
I liked the first half a lot, but the plot twist is stupid.
I don't know why this was shilled to people who hadn't watched an awful lot of anime before, but I was expecting an adventure to go kill Hitler or something and instead I got a faceful of mono no aware
I loved it. Up there with tenki no ko.
>>287434726I still don't understand why the ginger kid went back in time.
>>287434726Is the cultural influence in the room with us right now?

>>287435834He wanted to see a painting he read about in the future which had been lost to time.
>>287435097Why do westoids literally always equate time travel to ww2? What the fuck is wrong with westoids? Do they have sous or just repeat lines like automatrons?

>>287434726Nips love the original movie. Weebs are unaware Hosoda's movie is actually a sequel to a novel published on the 60s that was already adapted to live action by legendary director Nobuhiko Obayashihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1xoU5E-8Yc
>>287436796The West is soulless, so they don't have much imagination.
Instead of making a shitty pointless thread why don't you say what you liked and disliked about it and possible reasons other people could find it appealing?

>>287434917>just a poor man's time travel anime storyThat's Steins;Gate.
>>287434726I hear people say this was and influential but personally I've hardly seen it talked about or referenced.
I dunno i personally liked it but i also couldn't tell you why.
>>287434726It's a good movie. The idea is simple: time passes, even when the girl kept going back and forth, everything kept moving forward, and her friend owned the machine, so he had to leave. It really impacted me when I saw it, although I understand that casual viewers might think the boy's reasons for going back (seeing a painting) are stupid, or that the other friend crashing into the train is convenient (does the bike just happen to do the same thing that happened to her?).
>>287434917Big words coming from a reddit;gate fag
Normalfag trash with some production values like this and Shinkai crap always get pushed too much.It's one of those 'see anime is not just lolis and pantyshots and shonensjit - it's serious artistic media!' types of deal. People insecure about their hobby and trying to legitimize it in the eyes of 'serious' critics and people who dislike anime cream their pants over these.
\STOP THE ROCK
>>287434726>why does a good piece of entertainment that has clearly had millions of viewers globally have so much impactIt is a mystery..
>>287436923As I recall the girl who voiced the MC in Hosoda's movie also went on to play the MC in another live action movie based on the novel
>>287438674You're trying too hard
>>287436923The /a/verage anon rarely knows about older anime let alone different artforms like cinema.
>>287436796Sorry that we had a leading role in the single most significant conflict in world history and nobody cares about the Mughal Empire
>>287436796ww2, Hitler and holocaust is founding myth of modern liberal west.
>>287436773But if time travel is available in the future, Wouldn't a specialized art history project had gone back in time first to register the painting and take the record back to the future? It seems they'd do it before one random kid.
The ending was really stupid
>>287434726it was the first non-ghibli non-shinkai anime film I saw when I was still a westernmediafagit was also one of the last good anime films I saw
>>287434917Big words from a Steins Gate fan. Literally baby's first time travel story
>>287436796>literally biggest and most wild war in all of human history>effects of its conflict and politics still felt to this very dayGee, wonder why people think it's significant, you brainless faggot?
>>287441783>one random kidHe's probably a scholar. The original story explains that in the future humans can passively accumulate knowledge since they're babies through ESP or something so by the time they're teenagers they're already effectively adults.
>>287434726>so much cultural influence?Where?
