I expect more but how did it get the hight grossing anime movie???

Rating: 7/10 (5 April 2019)

Not as magical as hayao miyazaki's other masterpieces.
It's just an animated, scifi & romcom version of j-drama I'd a say. I used to be a j-drama fan but people move on to k-dramas which makes better tv series & also films compare to japan nowadays.
1 thing I'm impressed of the hero or typical japan hero's journey, they'd do anything against all odds to achieve the goals for the loved ones. Like the tragic death of lalaru from anime "now and then, here and there" after shu trying so hard to save her. This movie did the same & the hero rewrites history, luckily the boy in the girl's body didn't cry wolf to save them all. It's kind of weird nobody heard of the town hit by the asteroid #plottwist
Why i watched this movie? I was single & longed for ala j-drama love story.
Why i kinda hate it? I was in japan, not as fun as watching j-drama & that time neighbors next to a bnb i booked wasn't available, the old guy said "i cannot understand English". The ending like spirited away's ending the dragon kid, haku... What became of of the haku??? Now this movie, taki & mitsuha??? They finally got to meet face-to-face (happily ever after) & it's up to us to make up their next story?????
Why i kinda like it? I don't want to end up in a tragic death by asteroid, proposed the girl I've had known for 13 years.
