And there are times when +you just want to stick to the comfortable and familiar. + +HaNaYaMaTa is perfect for me when I'm in the latter mood. Young, +not-special high school girl reluctantly joins a club, finds joy and +friendship, hurdles are cleared with hard work and dedication, happy +ending. We've all seen a few series like that: K-On!, Sound! +Euphonium, Girls und Panzer. Each has its own quirks, but the basic +formula is recognisable, and effective. And sometimes it's exactly +what one needs. + +Naru is this serie's totally average protagonist: she has friends that +she admires, but just knows that she's never going to be as sparkling +as them. Until one day she meets the extremely extroverted and +energetic Hana, recently relocated from the US, who's passionate about +the style of dance called yosakoi. + +From that encounter, a school club is formed, more schoolgirls join, a +teacher is recruited to help, shows are danced. Our girls battle +insecurities, family drama, and plain bad luck, with their strong +belief in, and commitment to, each other. We have the traditional "hot +springs" episode, and some scenes in swimsuits, just to underscore +that the whole structure is really not the most original. But the +girls are cute, the relationships feel right, and what if the +animation is a bit cheap and the soundtrack is just three songs? This +is the kind of show you watch when you want to believe in people and +the possibility of a loving world, and it's very good for that. diff --git a/src/anime/review/hanayamata/du2html.xsl b/src/anime/review/hanayamata/du2html.xsl new file mode 120000 index 0000000..371d03d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/anime/review/hanayamata/du2html.xsl @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +../../../../templates/du2html-review.xsl \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/src/anime/review/your-name/.gitignore b/src/anime/review/your-name/.gitignore new file mode 100644 index 0000000..08d33d4 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/anime/review/your-name/.gitignore @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +/document.en.du.xml +/document.it.du.xml diff --git a/src/anime/review/your-name/document.en.rest.txt b/src/anime/review/your-name/document.en.rest.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0fbc81a --- /dev/null +++ b/src/anime/review/your-name/document.en.rest.txt @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ +====================== +anime/review/your-name +====================== +:CreationDate: 2017-07-23 10:52:22 +:Id: anime/review/your-name +:tags: - anime + - review +:rating: 4.5 +:original: http://www.easternkicks.com/reviews/your-name + +Ah, the life of high school students in Japan. In her small country +town, Mitsuha gets up, prepares breakfast for herself, her sister and +grandmother, goes to school with her friends, and then carries on the +centuries-old traditions at the her family's shrine. In Tokyo, Taki +gets up, has a quick snack while his father goes to work, then goes to +school with his friends, and after that works shifts at a +restaurant. Nothing special, we've seen these scenes hundreds of +times. + +Until Taki wakes up in a room he doesn't recognise, in the body of a +girl… + +Until Mitsuha wakes up in a room she doesn't recognise, in the body of +a boy… + +There's a long and mostly unsavoury tradition of body-swap stories, +where the first thing people do when they realise what's happened is +to explore their "new" body. Shinkai does not ignore that convention, +but does not indulge in it either: a nod, a laugh, and it's obvious +that the focus of this story is different. + +Mitsuha and Taki keep swapping bodies on random but frequent +days. They have to learn to communicate and coordinate their lives, to +not appear too out of it to their families and friends, even if +they're never in the same place at the same time, and the memories of +their "other lives" fade quickly like dreams. + +As if two young people learning about each other's lives and seeing +the world through each other's eyes were not enough to build a great +story on, Shinkai adds enough emotional depth and plot twists to +affect even the most unfeeling audience. No, I'm not going to spoil +the story for you: the buildup should really be experienced with all +its surprises. I'm sure the film holds up to multiple viewings, but +the first time is magical. + +Shinkai became justifiably famous back in 2002 with Voices of a +Distant Star (ほしのこえ), and he's been getting better ever +since. He's not only good at writing original, strongly emotional +stories: he's also good at choosing great artists and musicians, and +you can see the fruits of these skills in Your Name. The gorgeous +backgrounds set the mood of each scene and ground it in the two very +different environments of central Tokyo and rural Itomori. The +powerful music by Radwimps conveys the strength of the characters' +feelings and emotions. It all adds up to one of the most intense +experiences I've ever had at a cinema. + +"Your Name" is the best Shinkai movie to date, and I think everyone +should see it, especially those (like me) who were a bit soured to his +movies after the maybe-too-slow "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" +and "5 Centimeters per Second". diff --git a/src/anime/review/your-name/du2html.xsl b/src/anime/review/your-name/du2html.xsl new file mode 120000 index 0000000..371d03d --- /dev/null +++ b/src/anime/review/your-name/du2html.xsl @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +../../../../templates/du2html-review.xsl \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
