Liz and the Blue Bird is an incredibly special film to me and I hope you get to see it for yourself when it hits US theaters beginning Nov. 9th. For a full list of showings and locations, visit the Liz webpage on Eleven Arts' website here: www.elevenarts.net/animedistrbution/liz-and-the-blue-bird If you don't live in the US or are not near a screening, I hope you're able to see the film soon as well--a must-watch for fans of the medium. For now, enjoy this spoiler-free look at what makes Liz such a powerful work!
I hope it comes to Canada too. The fact that they have an empty section for release schedules in Canada on that website is both strange, and promising.
And here I am in in the anime free land of Hungary where the last anime movie that crossed the border was Howl's moving castle from Ghibli in 2004... I guess pirates for a life aye mates?
I love how much Yamada loves girls. We get such a nostalgic and loving retelling of a group of characters who, in anime, are often boiled down to how cute they are. Yamada treats her girls like they are old friends. Such a refreshing look.
Naoko Yamada proves once again why she is my favorite anime director of this generation. Loved Tamako Love Story, laughed with K-On, cried for A Silent Voice and i wonder which emotion this movie will bring.
dakky456 you mean Sound! Euphonium? I'm going to import a copy from the US / Australia, it's impossible to find in Europe (i'm from the Netherlands) but i'm dying to see it.
I saw the film a few days ago and what struck me is just how well it transports you into the emotional space of Mizore. It was intimate and beautiful and reminiscent of all the feelings a high school girl has at that point in life. I found myself in tears multiple points, I think I cried more than I did at a silent voice, which says something considering the stakes were not nearly as high in Liz and the Blue Bird. Anyway if you have a chance to see this in theaters you should absolutely do so. Naoko Yamada is a god damn genius.
The voice actor of Mizore said this about the film: "I don’t think there are many anime works which focus on ordinary daily lives and find importance and beauty within. I believe this is a great movie studded with precious moments of our daily lives throughout."
Despite being so visually different from the show, I really liked how mature they were portrayed. I think the style fits Kensuke Ushio's tone for the score. I also think the style blends more easily with the storybook segments. Pretty fantastic film
I'm honestly so happy that she is reportedly alive because I love this movie so much. I still can't believe we lost so many talented Kyo Ani staff members though, it still doesn't feel real. I hope it isn't the end. Sad that I instead get to visit the burnt down studios in around a month, though I will get to pay my respects.
The oboe and flute duet was unreal. I've been playing music and consuming it for a long long time and no piece has ever gripped me and moved me like it has. . 10/10
OMFG “how can you open the feelings of others if you cannot open yourself?” Mind blown this is it this shit’s been going around in my head for some time now and u just put it into words
6:00 OKAY THAT WAS NOT FAIR YOU MADE MY EYES START TO WATER AGAIN WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT YAMADA SO POETICALLY. This video is almost as good as the movie aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
This is beautiful animation. I can feel my hair bob as the character’s hair swings, and feel my hand pull at the hair touching my cheek. I’m astonished to remember these touches.
I cannot wait to see this film. Yamada's work speaks to me on a deep personal level and resonates with the entire course my life has taken. Its value to me is tremendous. On one level, it brings to light one of the things I love most about anime as a whole - it's ability to effortlessly bridge the gap between my home culture and the Japanese culture by rendering all of the barriers between the two as unimportant and meaningless and leaving only the feeling and emotion of the human experience behind, that which is omnipresent across all culture's, people's, and era's. By doing so it allows you to pull away from the experience once it's over a realize that there is no difference between us and them where it really counts. And their language, their customs, mannerisms, societal and social rhythms, all seem less foreign. Yamada and her team's work excels at doing this. But then when I actually see her and the members of her team speaking with each other or to groups, the way they stand, the way their bodies move along with the conversation and react and flow to what is being said, the way their eyes read their surroundings, the rhythms of their speech and the specific beats it takes that so drastically contrasts with English, this particular part of the gap, the one that is in many ways illusory, becomes more concrete and realized in my mind. And then I cry. Seeing all of that and than experiencing the work of art that comes from them, that immediately takes hold in my heart without a second thought of hesitation because of how deeply innate it's humanity is, it's incredible. It goes beyond the composition of the original work.
Every single scene in this movie stuck in my head so deeply that I had to rewatch it instantly. The movie gives off a more relaxed and vibrant feeling and the beauty of it is simply divine, yet it broke my heart into pieces. In one moment you feel happier than you've ever been in your entire life and in the next moment you feel empty abandoned and hurt ( or should I say "disjointed" *cough*).
There is something very beautiful about the simplicity of this movie. Even though you’re still watching a animation instead of a live action, the whole premise, ambience, characters, especially the music has a raw beauty to it that only anime can produce, the beauty of real life.
The moment, I heard the background music I thought: "This sounds like a silent voice... but it isn't. Is this film made by the same people?" After you confirmed it, ich thought: "Ah, that makes sense". Thank you for this video!
Nice video. I never really got into Sound Euphonium season 2, but I guess I gotta watch it before I watch this film. I can't watch this in theaters cause its not nearby, but your video is really making me consider buying it on blu ray
@@1000Tomatoes Yeah, I kind of was more focused on the last part of that episode, so I just fast forwarded to it; thus, the rest of the episode didn't really capture my attention. Perhaps that's why I haven't really caught on with season 2. Right now, I'm just watching the recent shows, like Zombieland Saga. There's just a lot of shows on my backlist.
Naoko Yamada is so amazing. She is one of my two favourite directors alongside Shinkai. I'm amazed by how beautiful and artistic her works are ever since I first met her through A Silent Voice. That and Liz and the Blue Bird are so far her best achievements for me (I haven't watched Tamako Love Story) yet. But there was something about Liz and the Blue Bird while I was watching it that made me lose my breath in awe. I felt like I wasn't just watching an anime for entertainment, but also like I was watching a piece of art. A piece so visceral that I felt it in my every being, no doubt enhanced significantly by the amazing musical and audio composition. It is not a feeling I get too often, usually only with movies of Shinkai (and the aforementioned A Silent Voice). But even among them, Liz and the Blue Bird felt different, side by side along with my other top favourites such as The Garden of Words. I am truly excited to see where Naoko Yamada goes next, and I want to see her work even more. Amazing review, Under the Scope!
Another movie to add to my list, and it honestly reminds me of spring or a soft breeze, especially with this song playing at 1:37, which I'm still looking for. But it's funny how I can relate to both girls with Mizure's introverted actions of not being able to let go, and Nozomi's optimism. :3
I am addicted to Yamada's works and I ahave been wacthing so many anime review on her. Animation is such a big world, there is so much option and things to notice. This is why I love anime! Only downside for me is that non of my friends are interested in it so I just keep all of this to my self and I dont have no one to talk to about this, but no problem at all, as I always think that I should do what I like wether I have people with me or not. i might be alone on this topic but I have hope I ll find someone as interested as me to speak and talk to about this.
I loved the film and the free postcards. It was truly an emotional experience. How easy I could relate with the protagonists. Same emotions I've felt just like them. Had a heart break when the film ended 😭
The scene in which Nozomi points the flash of light at Mizore with her flute, is for me a representation of one thing that one understands only at a certain point in life: that it doesn't matter how special something is to you; no matter how important it is; nor how valuable; eventually you will lose it.
Just watched the Movie. It was amazing. I also love a silent Voice. And when i saw Liz and a blue bird i noticed immediatley that it must be the same Regisseur / Team behind it. It's definetly the next masterpiece from Naoko Yamada and her team
Hi, Jack Do you mind if I translate this video and post it on a Chinese website? I will put the UA-cam link and your associate links in the video description. Your work is always refreshing and inspiring to many of us, and I'd love to erase the accessibility issues for the Chinese community: language barrier and UA-cam access. I've already submitted my translation to UA-cam which you can use as an reference and potentially for direct visitors. I'll post you a link to my translated video if you deem it fit. Cheers
Yea she was one of the core staff in the first season, supervising others' works and handling some on her own. During the second season she was busy with Koe no Katachi so couldn't contribute as much. She does return to work on the last few episodes.
Your commentary was so inspirational! Especially how you were explaining how Yamada has progressed in her work and the industry, comparing her to her debut and most recent film was lovely and really pulled at my heart strings! (Subbed)
This was really a great movie. Some people might say there are too many scenes were nothing happens but in reality every scene is rich of details that gives information about the main characters personality. Personally i really like more movies like this with few words but many hints or symbols hidden here and there because it feels free to interpretation. At the start of the movie since we get to see more things from Mizore's point of view you think Mizore is Liz and the bird is Nozomi but when we get to see more of Nozomi's point of view it starts to feel that Nozomi thought of herself as Liz while Mizore, with her music skills, was the bird that one day would fly away from her since she doesn't have the same skills. The end too you can see that even if they choose different paths they will still be together because they both want to be together or at least this is how i felt in the end seeing the two white birds fly. No doubts this was really a good executed movie.
i havent watched this in so long... maybe i should rewatch again this movie was so different, i wish i could recommend to friends but they'd probably have to watch hibike euphonium
Naoko Yamada is my favorite director because she captures that mono no aware feeling so well. Great video! I Finally saw the film in theaters, so now I get to watch your video. It was an amazing experience
I can't wait for it's releasing, I find Hibike Euphonium wonderful and this film seem so special. But I'm wondering where I can find the date of release outside the theatres, or the Blu-ray's one, I'm french and I'm kind of sure it will never come over here. I watched half of the video and will watch the rest after seeing the movie, or should I continue ? I don't want to spoil myself but I really can't wait to see how it looks like...
I've watched the movie on the internet last year, was blasted away and overjoyed, but then a miracle happened, it got a few cinema screening in Paris. I went into this theater to watch the movie for the second time, I wanted to enjoy the sound in the best way possible. Today, I don't remember what happened back then, I may have cried or got chills, I don't know..? It's like my feelings stayed in the room, in this moment. I'll not be able to grasp this sensation again it seems.
I was looking forward to watching this when it comes to a theater near me thanks to Eleven Arts, and this video definitely builds the hype for me. Once again, great video!
Can I just bring up the fact that this video has been produced perfectly. The tone, the pace, the way the text enters and exits the frame. Everything works together SOOOO well!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me knowKeep strong.

I just came from watching this movie. Unfortunately I don't think I understood what it was doing. I see others react to it and are moved so much. But I didn't get that at all. Hopefully this video will give me a better explanation. Dont misunderstand though, I did like the movie. Sound Euphonium moved me multiple times and I was expecting the same from this movie. And that just didn't happen so I am a bit of a loss
I'm just going to go ahead and like this before watching it, because I know this break down is going to be great, but I'm not watching it until after next Monday's screenings. SPOILERS!!!
wouldnt have known to seek this movie out if not for your continued evangalism for yamada's work. not only is this film not being talked about by the wider film community, it is hardly being discussed in the anime film community; a genuine tragedy considering how amazing this film is. so thanks for the recommendation :)
Ahhhhh I wanna see this film sooooooooooo badly... Can't they just release the BD worldwide instead of showing it in the US ONLY first... Not fair man...
Imo, saw this at anime expo nyc, and the review is better than the movie XD. Though i love the movies attention to realism, it can feel a bit long and stiff at times. Its passable, but the art is amazing
Liz and the Blue Bird is an incredibly special film to me and I hope you get to see it for yourself when it hits US theaters beginning Nov. 9th. For a full list of showings and locations, visit the Liz webpage on Eleven Arts' website here: www.elevenarts.net/animedistrbution/liz-and-the-blue-bird
If you don't live in the US or are not near a screening, I hope you're able to see the film soon as well--a must-watch for fans of the medium. For now, enjoy this spoiler-free look at what makes Liz such a powerful work!
I hope it comes to Canada too. The fact that they have an empty section for release schedules in Canada on that website is both strange, and promising.
Right? Really hoping for it!
And here I am in in the anime free land of Hungary where the last anime movie that crossed the border was Howl's moving castle from Ghibli in 2004... I guess pirates for a life aye mates?
I missed it in theaters, but straight up bought it, after watching "Hibike! Euphonium".
i realize it's quite off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released movies online?
I love how much Yamada loves girls. We get such a nostalgic and loving retelling of a group of characters who, in anime, are often boiled down to how cute they are.

dakky456 you mean Sound! Euphonium? I'm going to import a copy from the US / Australia, it's impossible to find in Europe (i'm from the Netherlands) but i'm dying to see it.
All of the above
This feels a lot darker than sound euphonium. I felt a strange emptiness while watching this movie
"I wanted this movie to be like two girls dancing...." What a great way to start a review for a wonderful film
My brain autofilled the space after “two girls” with “one cup” before he said “dancing”
I hate the internet

Yet another movie to add to the list that never gets shorter...
Too relatable
True...
So true
You shouldn't put this one on your list. Just watch it. It deserves your attention 😊
There's too many good movie, I don't think I can watch them all before I die

Why do I always end up with tears in my eyes everytime I watch a video of yours about Kyoani? Thanks for your amazing content.
Because that is what their works will do to you, they tug on your emotional strings and i love them because they do that.
I'm honestly so happy that she is reportedly alive because I love this movie so much.
I still can't believe we lost so many talented Kyo Ani staff members though, it still doesn't feel real.
I hope it isn't the end.
Sad that I instead get to visit the burnt down studios in around a month, though I will get to pay my respects.
Might want to provide some context on "I hope this isn't the end" 😳

Your work is always refreshing and inspiring to many of us, and I'd love to erase the accessibility issues for the Chinese community: language barrier and UA-cam access.
I've already submitted my translation to UA-cam which you can use as an reference and potentially for direct visitors. I'll post you a link to my translated video if you deem it fit.
Cheers
Wait, was Yamada part of the Hibike Euphonium staff?
MarySeph not directly, no
She was a series director in Ss1, but not in Ss2
Yea she was one of the core staff in the first season, supervising others' works and handling some on her own. During the second season she was busy with Koe no Katachi so couldn't contribute as much. She does return to work on the last few episodes.
I wonder why Naoko Yamada and KyoAni opted for a different art style for this film compared to the main series.
Your commentary was so inspirational! Especially how you were explaining how Yamada has progressed in her work and the industry, comparing her to her debut and most recent film was lovely and really pulled at my heart strings! (Subbed)
so how many anime movies that were released in u.s theaters are there
Not including the old DBZ films Funimation has been releasing, I’ve counted at least 8 this from the top of my head.
oh okay thanks for that
This was really a great movie. Some people might say there are too many scenes were nothing happens but in reality every scene is rich of details that gives information about the main characters personality. Personally i really like more movies like this with few words but many hints or symbols hidden here and there because it feels free to interpretation. At the start of the movie since we get to see more things from Mizore's point of view you think Mizore is Liz and the bird is Nozomi but when we get to see more of Nozomi's point of view it starts to feel that Nozomi thought of herself as Liz while Mizore, with her music skills, was the bird that one day would fly away from her since she doesn't have the same skills. The end too you can see that even if they choose different paths they will still be together because they both want to be together or at least this is how i felt in the end seeing the two white birds fly. No doubts this was really a good executed movie.
This was so inspiring and emotional to watch! Great job with the analysis dude, now I definitely gotta watch this
6:36 The most beautiful and saddest smile
i havent watched this in so long... maybe i should rewatch again
this movie was so different, i wish i could recommend to friends but they'd probably have to watch hibike euphonium
most technical brilliantly animated film imo. amazing video
I am going to watch this on the 10th, I am more excited to watch it now after watching this great video! thank you
Naoko Yamada is my favorite director because she captures that mono no aware feeling so well. Great video! I Finally saw the film in theaters, so now I get to watch your video. It was an amazing experience
truly a masterpiece ;-; very emotional
I can't wait for it's releasing, I find Hibike Euphonium wonderful and this film seem so special. But I'm wondering where I can find the date of release outside the theatres, or the Blu-ray's one, I'm french and I'm kind of sure it will never come over here.
I watched half of the video and will watch the rest after seeing the movie, or should I continue ? I don't want to spoil myself but I really can't wait to see how it looks like...
I've watched the movie on the internet last year, was blasted away and overjoyed, but then a miracle happened, it got a few cinema screening in Paris. I went into this theater to watch the movie for the second time, I wanted to enjoy the sound in the best way possible.
Today, I don't remember what happened back then, I may have cried or got chills, I don't know..? It's like my feelings stayed in the room, in this moment.
I'll not be able to grasp this sensation again it seems.
Once again, your editing is nothing short of brilliant
Fuck me I'm dutch and they arn't going to play it here
Goddamn it, Jack! You don't know how jealous I am right now. Hopefully it's available soon where I am... :'(
I was looking forward to watching this when it comes to a theater near me thanks to Eleven Arts, and this video definitely builds the hype for me. Once again, great video!
Do you have to know or watch hibike euphonium first?
From what I've heard nope
Oh no I need to finish my Liz/BB reflection from over two weeks ago to catch its hype train in the US (X
this movie was truly amazing
I love your reviews. Thank you for admitting that this movie is a love story.
I WANT MORE OF THIS SO BADDDD KANSJUWISNAKASB
Wait what do you mean a tragedy, I thought they rewrote their story with a happy ending?!!!
I love your understanding of diegetic sounds
Can I just bring up the fact that this video has been produced perfectly. The tone, the pace, the way the text enters and exits the frame. Everything works together SOOOO well!!! Keep up the outstanding work!!!
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
. The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do.
It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him.
it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power again, through His power and instruction).
He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER
If you have any questions let me knowKeep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.

If you have any questions let me know
So is this stand alone? Or do
i have to be familiar with sound euphonium, cos i havent watched it
@Iosif Lengyel right, thanks!
But it's better if you do.
But that's a personal opinion.
You do you.
I just came from watching this movie. Unfortunately I don't think I understood what it was doing. I see others react to it and are moved so much. But I didn't get that at all. Hopefully this video will give me a better explanation. Dont misunderstand though, I did like the movie. Sound Euphonium moved me multiple times and I was expecting the same from this movie. And that just didn't happen so I am a bit of a loss
虽然是he，但是看的过程令人窒息。
I'm just going to go ahead and like this before watching it, because I know this break down is going to be great, but I'm not watching it until after next Monday's screenings. SPOILERS!!!
This was such a beautiful movie
I'm happy to live in bufu f***ing EGYPT! DAAAAAH. Lamentably waiting blu-ray release it is....Just like Maquia
l e s b i a n s
"I wanted this movie to be like two girls..."
me: oh god
"dancing"
phew!
As I've thought. I immediately saw the same eyes from Silent Voice.
Damn that was a good video.
I don't understand how you don't have more subs
No way you this guy actually followed the same feels of the end of the film the little tap at the end right before the credirs
Guess I wont be able to see this movie for some months :'( since I don't live in US or Asia :'(
Why am I finding this anime sooo late?! THIS IS MASTERPIECE
wouldnt have known to seek this movie out if not for your continued evangalism for yamada's work. not only is this film not being talked about by the wider film community, it is hardly being discussed in the anime film community; a genuine tragedy considering how amazing this film is. so thanks for the recommendation :)
Ahhhhh I wanna see this film sooooooooooo badly... Can't they just release the BD worldwide instead of showing it in the US ONLY first... Not fair man...
I really want to see this movie but I don’t wanna pirate it. So I will have to wait until April.
Imo, saw this at anime expo nyc, and the review is better than the movie XD. Though i love the movies attention to realism, it can feel a bit long and stiff at times. Its passable, but the art is amazing
This movie is so beautiful.
Really want another film directed by Yamada again, Hope she will be back soon.
Good one. Definitely will watch it. Still can't see why it's Experimental though.
So I wasn’t hallucinating when I recalled there was a Hibike movie...
Do you need to watch Sound Euphonium before watching this ?
hi, i love this moive and this video, plz for the love of god verify the chinese sub, it's been for god knows how long since someone added it, plz ;w;
It's like YT Premiere, I want to watch it now... (European here)
I am a massive fan of Naoko Yamada and really want to see this film! But they aren't showing it anywhere here in the UK, how did you get to see it?
I love your videos. They are so engaging and filled w so much heart and passion for the medium.
