It's because this is an episodic story.
It' fair for me to say that "all murricans are brainwashed homicidal maniacs"? It's how it looks like to me at times. Even when they are aware of the damage their country is doing to the world they still support the military in some way, they still defend their country policies. The japanese people at those times aren't that much different, and they had much less information. I don't think that this movie is pro or anti war anyway, it's just a story about people who lived during those times, like other stories from the same author that lives in that region. You can see all sides in this movie. Suzu's new family is "kinda pro-war". I want to see is some expository pages from the manga were included this times, where Suzu's father in law talks about the pre-war agreements on naval power limitations and how this affected Kure's economy, specially during the depression-era. Because don't forget, Suzu's father in law and husband both works for the military and on Kure's arsenal. That place is bombarded during the movie (actual event, actual day, even actual climate during that hour) because there was the place where the Yamato and other ships were constructed. But you also see people against the war, after the Emperor proclamation you even see a Korea flag appear. And the people indifferent to the war, that had no knowledge and no say about the matter. As much as I adore to that the japanese people from those times, this is an excellent movie and complaining about this is just a terrible excuse to not see and refuse to praise something very much praiseworthy. Again this will be the best animated movie of the year, the haters can cry all they want. |

Was going to buy this film on bluray after renting it when I heard about this version. Hoping it gets a dub and release. But has there been any info?

I absolutely loved this movie. It made me laugh and cry and I felt like I was actually there living in that town and with all the experiences. I felt like I lived thru all her experiences in the brief 2 hours.

Of course it is. My comment was made with that taken into consideration. Episodic films are not "supposed to" have disjointed awkward transitions. The original cut of this was clearly not how the director envisioned it. Katabuchi did his best with what he had, but he wanted more for it. |

Never felt that and there isn't a good way to do this, the original just jumps from date to date (aided by calendars). |

Sorry if this has been answered before.
Does 'In this corner (and other corners) of the world' have an English subtitled version yet? And if so, where can I find it? I've been looking on Amazon.co.jp, but none of the versions there mention English subtitles, just Japanese ones. Or is there another site where I can buy this version of the movie with English subtitles? Sorry, I only recently got back into anime. And my experience pretty much solely consists of 'what is on Netflix.jp with English subtitles'. I appreciate any advice. I love this movie. |

Thank you, but that is the original version, isn't it? I'm talking about the extended version; 'In this corner (and other corners) of the world'. Is that available somewhere with English subtitles? Or even on Bluray? Or do I just have to wait for that to be released? Thanks again. |
