I'm not sure what this is

>>3324492
It's the box office sales.

>>3324494
What's on the right hand side?

nobody is going to argue with you that we americans are tasteless apes

>>3324502
Get out.

>>3324502
Cherry blossoms are falling at a speed of 5 centimeters per second.
;_;

Is this sales or cost to make?

I've had five cm/s sitting on my desk for months now.

Should I watch it?

I did like Voices of a Distant Star.

>>3324502

Some hipster crap made on a macbook.

>>3324521
Watch it. Sit through 2 hours of exponentially increasing manly tears.

>>3324494
>>3324515
it's the budget.

>>3324515
I know that The Simpsons Movie opening weekend sales should be around $75,000,000. Total box office sales for it would be on the order of magnitude of about $500,000,000.
Not sure about 5 cm/sec side though.

>>3324521
It's ok. 7/10 or so, I'd say it's worth a watch.

>>3324492
>>3324515
Production cost.

Oh god 5cm/s ;_;

I need to finish watching that sometime.

>>3324540

I actually thought it was one of the best anime I've watched, but that's just my opinion.

Yes but Japanese animators frequently steal cels to sell because they get paid almost nothing for their work.

5cm/s was beautiful, but for some weird reason, I didn't cry at all. I've cried like a bitch at far less sad things. What the fuck is wrong with me?

>>3324579
Nah, I didn't cry either, I don't even remember it being that sad of a movie.

Seriously 5cm was a piece of overhyped, overproduced crap.
It's like Shinkai is only capable of writing one storyline for each of his works (girl and guy grow further apart, ohnoes how sad BAAAWWW).

>>3324591
>>3324579
Yeah, it wasn't that sad of a movie. It ended on such an optimistic note, and the plot was so simple, but I cried anyways.

>>3324603
This would bother me more if I wasn't too busy staring at the scenery.

>>3324603
He improves on this idea of "separation" each time he makes a movie, and through trial and error, he gets closer and closer to perfection in creating this one kind of story.
That's how I see it, anyways. You may be right, and I might be totally off on this, but I like his works.

>>3324579

I felt nothing either. Then again, it was the same for Shinkai's other films. They're all flash and no substance, so I guess a comparison with the Simpsons movie works.

His movies sure are pretty to look at, though. Same with his eroge OPs.

So wait. Why exactly did Simpsons require a budget of 75M when 5cm per second could do that with 270k?

>>3324646
Because we Americans grossly overcharge for our services.

>>3324646
Probably had a huge advertising budget. Maybe they took longer to do it, or had more specific standards on what they wanted the final product to look like?

I generally don't judge things by budget, though; just look at District 9.

>>3324646
Everyone on the Simpsons staff got paid a lot more.

Get the prices of the first few years of simpsons. Everyone doing simpsons stuff now is getting payed so much because it's "so important"

>>3324662
why does Japan exploit their workers so horribly

The movie appeals to normalfriends, it'll make people who experienced breakups/losing friends baww. As a neet, it didn't do anything for me. Pretty pictures though.

5cm looked like shit other than the neat, colorful backgrounds
the animation wasn't even fluid

>>3324705
They don't, the simpson's production staff just got paid ridiculously.

>>3324705

because the workers were corean.

5cm per second? more like 5 backgrounds per second

>>3324705
>>3324710

More like a combination of both. Japanese animators make nothing.

The guys you see working at McDonalds make as much as a Japanese animator.

>>3324603
this is truth... his works were just eyecandy.
to be honest.

I'm not familiar with the colors department, but wtf is with "but his color choices are brilliant". They just look really shiny and all to me. Nothing special.

But the Simpsons is actually a better show than any pedo/weeaboo/moe bullshit.

Should be 5x10^-2 m/s

>>3324848
WAS a better show.

It's mainly shit ton more staff working in the Simpsons movie compare to 5cm. Plus higher wages, advertisement and international release just like all American movies. Basically it's a larger production compared to 5cm.

Also 5cm was average. Badly written story, the only well done part was the first part of the movie. The people that thinks the story is good as a whole are the ones that can relate to it. Being able to relate what you watch amplifies or just a bonus that increases your enjoyment, it doesn't mean the story itself is good. And there are so faggots that think this is realistic but fails to see how grossly exaggerated the entire story is.

The only thing good are the backgrounds and a small use symbolism with the rail crossing, trains, cellphones etc.

>>3324848

Cool story bro.

>>3324848
This is what Americans actually believe.

so do the petals fall at 5cm/s or do a pair of petals separate horizontally at 5cm/s?

>>3324858

I just like Shinkai's work because of the fap-worthy animation. I thought the story was meh, but the visuals were eyegasm quality, as they always are with his stuff.

>>3324479

What's the use in pointing out how shitty American animation is? Isn't it obvious? The Simpsons movie was shit and so is every other American animation within the last 20 years or so with the exception of a couple of brilliant CG movies. Generally if you want good American animation, you have to go back to mid-20th century work suck as Fantasia.
Hell even the Eurofags and Canadians create better animation with Les Triplettes de Belleville being a prime example.

>>3324917
That's because some time in the 60s animation was relegated to "intended for children" status.

>>3324917
Oh god, Fantasia. Mickey in it?

Batman TAS was better than any animu I've ever watched.

>>3324917
Good American animation has been suppressed by aggressive business practices by certain media companies.

5cm per second had me crying manly tears

>>3324935
Bluth was a god among men.

Enjoy your impoverished life, Japanese anime studio employees.

>>3324935

Truth.

>>3324917

>suck as Fantasia.

I'm guessing that wasn't intended, but hey, if the shoe fits.

>>3324722
You are that one anon. I've been watching you. You've perfectly executed a whole bunch of reaction images and classic memes recently. Hats off to you, sir.

>>3324956
But my mom always said people with talent will be rewarded!

>>3325026
Your mom is also a pathological liar.

The Simpsons movie opened in as many theaters in NYC as 5 cm/s opened in worldwide. That just may have something to do with the added cost. Guess which one made a million times more profit too.

The Simpsons died with Phil Hartman. Or should have.

This. So very this.

I enjoyed watching 5cm, but I don't think it was quite tears worthy. A very pessimistic look at how quickly life can push people apart, yes, but not tears worthy no.
