Anyone watched these movies and can post their thoughts? I heard they were kino, was planning on checking them out:

  • Tamako Love Story

  • The Boy and the Beast

  • Hotarubi no Mori (Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light)

  • Patema Inverted

  • Classmates

  • Children Who Chase Lost Voices

  • Josee, the Tiger and the Fish

These movies were recommended alongside Maquia: When the Flower Blooms - which was one of the best kino animated movies I've seen alongside Ghibli films. So I'm wondering if these stack up in quality.

Hotarubi is 6/10 at best watched it with foids during a film festival nearly wanted to slit my throat because they thought it was le masterpiece while I was busy not falling asleep.

Patema has a dumb premise and isnt particularly interesting. I also saw this at the same festival and it was somewhat appreciated by the younger audience. So if you like the taste of adolescent kids (yeah i did that on purpose) you'll love it.

Hotarubi no Mori is pure. Just a fantastic portrayal of growing up. But I am biased towards that genre.

Tamako Love Story was meh.

Another similar movie was words bubble up like soda pop which was interesting more so from how much it taught me about haiku than about the movie itself.

Haven’t seen the rest.

As one of the 5 people who saw patema inverted, it’s been a long time but basically it’s one of those movies that you have to be 14 to fully appreciate the heavy-handed symbolism and dystopian setting.

Hotarubi no Mori was good, but I might be thinking of a different thing with a similar plot. I'm pretty sure I watched Patema Inverted drunk but that's all I can tell you about it
