Anime films do get subtitled screenings over here, but they tend to be special "event cinema" rather than a regular screening. I think Showcase is screening Suzume with subs... I haven't really looked into it since I'm not really familiar with Makoto Shinkai's stuff, it doesn't really grab me.There's also the annual Scotland Loves Anime film festival which does limited screenings at select arthouse theatres, although I'll admit I only know about that because they did the Ojamajo Doremi movie last year :B I'd never heard of it before then, heck I only found out about it last year purely by chance.
I have been looking out for any information on Daiya Act II getting another season, but nothing yet. I guess April 2023 isn't going to happen. Maybe autumn? Maybe next year? I can't imagine it won't happen.
Yeah, Tenki no Ko (shorter to write, LOL) kind of has a plot, works, and then goes off on a weird meander which doesn't seem to end satisfactorily. The art is pretty but I admit, I didn't even notice the brief scene of the characters from Kimi no Na Wa.
True.On the other hand, you have names like Spirited Away, which takes the concept of kami-kakushi from the original title (literally the concept of kami abducting or hiding people who go missing) and anglicises it in a way that makes the underlying idea comprehensible, even if the words are totally different.
All that said, there's so much more now than we had going back even ten years. I'm showing my age now, but I love that it's possible to stream so many series now that would never have made it here before.
There are so many things Japan has that don't come over into English. I mean, Daiya's manga is literally years behind in translation, and only available digitally I think? Daiya's a longer running series than Haikyuu and massively successful over there, but even in the US, where baseball is a big deal, it hasn't had the attention Haikyuu has. Haikyuu is cool and all, but very safe in comparison to Daiya. Maybe that's part of the reason. I dunno. All that said, there's so much more now than we had going back even ten years.
