Johnbobb: I probably would've gotten into anime a lot earlier had I known magical realism was such a recurring theme in anime films. I love it! It's just magical enough without being a full on fantasy world. The main couple are both likeable, the visuals are goddamn gorgeous (which would be later repeated in Weathering With You) and I never fully knew what direction the plot was going to take. A little bit silly and a little bit sappy but just a real goddamn excellent movie overal (chill out with the focuses on the high schooler's boobs though, geez).

Red: Ok first of all, people started calling this the obvious winner in chat and I was thoroughly confused because this was definitely not nearly my favorite film on the list, and actually jumped a few spots as I soured on a few films over time. I dont know if its going to win, maybe it does. I knew at the time I had it pretty low and it was taking a lot of my willpower to not just blurt out that it almost certainly wasnt going to contend to make even my top 10. Perhaps it was the more generic characters surrounding both main characters, but something just never clicked with the world to me, I didnt find that I necessarily cared about either. In the back of my mind, it was also being held over that someone would never not know of a town that was literally destroyed in a freak accident by a piece of a literal comet. Other part, I think at a certain point I was more interested in how they were going to impact each others lives, and the swap to dealing with the crisis somehow felt less interesting than the both of them dealing with the swap in their lives established prior.
