Someone just needs to make a boxed set of Hosoda films including Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars, & Wolf Children.

 

[BassForever]

Sure.

PUBERTY.

Everything is a euphemism for sex and puberty and raging hormones.

The End.

I get that, but some of the symbolism is lost on me like the giant iron machine factory puffing off white smoke and what exactly the final bad guy is/was

 

[Beelzeboss]

A month of Hosoda would be really cool.

They could show the One Piece movie and then the other stuff he's done.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Naota is a total dick.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Nao, dinner!

 

[Jintor]

I meant to read an analysis of this series before the rewatch, anyone have a good one?

as usual, you can collate a good amount of info from tvtropes.

Don't forget the character page

 

[grandjedi6]

Commercials in Akira were inflated by all those music videos

Yeah, Akira should've had about 11 minutes extra of commercials. Which is a bit more than the music videos lasted but still good.

 

[Amikami]

Sure.

PUBERTY.

Everything is a euphemism for sex and puberty and raging hormones.

The End.

Lol pretty much from waht I can tell.

Besides that, I think Haruko was just using Naota's head to get to Atimus who was being held hostage by that alien corperation whom is responsible for the iron.

 

[BassForever]

Time for the best scene in the whole series

 

[Levyne]

Best part

I would buy this.

 

[Zonic]

The manga scenes are easily my favorite parts. Still hilarious years & numerous viewings later.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Manga!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Hey , the part that broke Seda's brain.

 

[yami4ct]

Someone just needs to get A Girl Who Leapt Through Time out on Blu-Ray ASAP. I would pay a ridiculous amount to have a good, US region blu-ray of that film.

 

[foxuzamaki]

still riding on a Summer Wars high. Can't wait to see movie-related art SAB drew

So am I

 

[BassForever]

FOOOOLY COOOLY!

 

[Jintor]

The AV Club also does good stuff if you don't mind watching vid

 

[Amikami]

What's Fooly Cooly??

 

[Seda]

This scene killed me the first time.

Hey , the part that broke Seda's brain.

yeah basically

 

[lazybones18]

too much fooly, not enough cooly

 

[Schadenfreude]

Best explanation ever.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Cooly Cooly!

 

[BassForever]

Oh man she did put her tongue in there!

 

[Amikami]

This part still makes my brain fry and curl.

 

[Branduil]

Here are the trailers for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Wolf Children.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

LIKE MTV!

COOLY COOLY!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Steve Blum cat!

 

[BassForever]

She likes it on top

 

[bigkrev]

She doesn't lie to him!

 

[Amikami]

Here are the trailers for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Wolf Children.

I got to see both of those movies.

 

[Seda]

She doesn't lie to him!

Yep, comes right out and says she's an alien.

 

[BassForever]

OOOHHHh So that's why she fooly coolys with the father :O

 

[Imperial Bishop]

It's funny how she actually did tell him the truth.

 

[lazybones18]

Naota can be so cold

 

[grandjedi6]

The battle of the ages has begun.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Haruko getting personal.

 

[Zonic]

Fun fact: Fooly Cooly is also pronounced as 'Furi Kuri', which is an old Japanese slang term for fondling a woman's breasts or butt. Kind of makes sense considering all the innuendos. Plus that scene with the grandpa showing what it means with his hands.

 

[Levyne]

Damn america.

Letting loose rogue programs and stealing out brothers

 

[Man God]

OOOHHHh So that's why she fooly coolys with the father :O

Takun's is the only one that works.

 

[Amikami]

Naota's dad is creepy.

 

[BassForever]

Lots of subtle character growth there

 

[Schadenfreude]

Cool song time.

well no wonder gramps was mimicing a titty rubbing gesture

 

[Imperial Bishop]

A Mimi type of thing.

A dreamy type of thing.

That actually makes a lot more sense.

 

[TheChits]

One of my favorite scenes from teh show. Bran New Love Song just fits the scene so well

 

[bigkrev]

" It's a Mimi kind of thing! a dreamy kind of thing"
I've used this line IRL, no joke.
Also, her description of how she likes his brother right her is incredible

 

[BassForever]

Don't get her speech her? Like him better then hard bread?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Damn Americans ruining everything!
