Your Name (2016) Anime - Blu-ray Forum

Haven't seen a thread for this. Its the highest grossing Japanese film in history.

I'm surprised I haven't heard of any plans to widen its release more given that the first week showed decently at the box office. I guess the expectation is that it's downhill from here but it's succeeded in the US almost solely on word of mouth thus far and I'd have thought they'd test to see how far it can go.

I'm going to try to see this tomorrow. Heard great things.

This is probablh already Funimation's widest release that wasn't a special engagement like the DBZ movies. I don't think they could afford to go much wider. Or they probably didn't see the point to go wider when Anime is still very niche.

The film is fantastic though. One of the very best of 2016. Shame there won't be a Blu release in the US until maybe a year from now

My favorite movie so far this year...beautifully touching, mind-bending and gorgeously animated.

Hands down my favorite animated movie of last year. Happy to see the guys here in the US finally see Makoto Shinkai's finest work to date.

Wish this film had a release last year. It would have had a definite spot on my top 10. Such a wonderfully told story that combines comedy, drama, fantasy, and romance perfectly.

I was blown away by this. In a good way, it sort of felt like an emotionally-charged Doctor Who episode what with

[Show spoiler]

The first 2/3 were a lot of fun, and that last third had me on the edge of my seat up until the final scene. The animation was gorgeous to behold, as well. I really hope more people see this. It's already become my favorite (non-Miyazaki) anime film.

Really? Damn. Usually I'm on top of things like that, but I guess I slipped up. Ah well.

It was very limited though. Played in one theater in Los Angeles for one week at the beginning of December.

Only playing on one screen here... dubbed.

Should I even bother, or just wait for the Blu?
