Yo that's cool...wish I could go back, the two weeks I was in Japan were mostly work but I got to explore a bit around Sasebo and Osaka.

My god, did I love this movie.

Still one of my favorite anime character of all time . Amazing voice actor and incredibly heart felt and soul crushing story .

orionthefoolish.bsky.social•66 days ago

Ok I NEED to watch this movie.

astroboys.bsky.social•66 days ago

I have it on disk! Worth it! One of my fav movies, not only is Hana a main character but basically the heart of the movie that drives a lot of the plot and spirit. Age is also a hero but you’ll have to watch the movie to find out why!

I just watched this at your recommendation, and it was great!

The actor that voices Hana seems just as fabulous in real life, too!

I watched this, not knowing what to expect, and it’s a great story with a lot of heart and just the right amount of humour.
Thanks for the recommendation!

The Greatest Christmas Movie.

Tokyo Godfathers is witty, exciting, heart-wrenching when it needs to be, and dense enough to give you something new to look for in every viewing.

It's my heartfelt recommendation for everyone looking for a holiday film this season.

Literally rewatched this on Saturday with a friend on discord one of the best Christmas movies

The ending always makes me cry. Such a powerful portrayal and such a symbolic conclusion: while so much media portrays us as sinful or uncaring, she gets to be a guardian angel.
