Perhaps the only film ever to include a pub crawl, a 10 minute musical number, a natural disaster sequence, an army of cowboys fighting a crowd of politicians, a slav squad, and still somehow be pretty coherent and unironically amazing.

out of every single movie i've ever seen this is absolutely the number one film i can say that i'm able to connect to on an emotional level. every single feeling of anxiety, uncertainty, triumph, laugh, or literally any other sentiment that's expressed from the characters in this film feels so absolutely real and realized that it sometimes blows my mind to think that i'm watching an animated film...and what an achievement that animation is.
the fluidity and exaggeration that yuasa is able to express in his animation is honestly a marvel to watch, making his characters just pop with life. an example of this that i adore is whenever a character eats or drinks anything, their entire body expands…

A movie about a woman who understands that the three most important things in life are drinking, used books, and experimental musical theatre.
Reviewed as part of my Japan Cuts coverage.

What starts off as a fast paced comedy with no space or room for feelings transitions into a crazed and spacious intimate character study. It’s still the best.

Watch The Tatami Galaxy (2004) first! Based on another book by the same author, the 11-episode anime series is inextricably linked to this film. It shares the same tone and style, as well as a few characters. For the completionists out there, there are also 3 shorts included on the Blu-ray, probably best watched after the series. The only trouble I had with the series is that they often speak so quickly that I can't read the subtitles fast enough; that did not occur in this film.
We follow a young woman as she adventures through a deceptively long night. Alongside us is the shy boy who wants to meet her and all the friends she makes along the way.…
