Saw this at the Premiere in NY Children Film Festival. It was an amazing film.

Having seen the movie, it did get quite damn weird when some of that stuff occurs. I'd definitely see the movie again on the big screen given the chance, but I wouldn't jump on the "masterpiece" bandwagon like what always happens for Hosada films, and I know this one is going to get the same ridiculous overpraising that Summer Wars did just because "zomg it's about being a parent, 5/5!"

Oh she did more than that. 
(That was interesting for kids to see.)

I saw it back in March with Hosoda at MIT. Those who have yet to see it are in for a real treat. It's so far my pick for best film of 2013 (even though it technically came out last year, but it's getting its official release in the states sometime this Autumn, I think).

Given the choice between a couple episodes of a TV series that's been available subbed online for a while or a complete movie that isn't available legally anywhere but at cons I'm going to go with the movie every time.
I was starting to worry that there wouldn't be anything like this at Otakon this year, really glad I'm going this year.

AX is said to have Psycho Pass dubbed, however, which is as "rarified" as this movie.
This movie looks to be a fluffy & overly-emotional piece that requires the viewer to stifle his evaluation of the movie based on logic and reason and instead just go "along for the ride", letting the movie play his heartstrings in order to get any enjoyment out of it. Because this is something that I am not willing to do, I can't countenance giving a movie's logical failings a pass just because of its emotional appeals, it was agonizing for me to sit through Summer Wars. Since this movie looks to be more of the same, and from what I can find online it is more of the same, I'd prefer almost anything over this.
But hey, Funimation, if you could put the "premiered" eps of Psycho Pass dubbed up on your Elite streaming service and get the powers that be to schedule this screening up against another "big draw" event then I would consider that to be the Best of Both Worlds. Thanks  |
Maybe you should WATCH it first before judging? And I fail to understand what was illogical about Summer Wars. Anything that was illogical was to be expected with a plot similar to Digimon. Hosoda isn't one to shove cliched emotion into your face, the emotional sides of his films feel natural. You don't seem like the kind of person that would be fun at parties. Especially when you dislike such pure and uplifting films. Inform me more of the lack of logic in Summer Wars and we can have a more in-depth discussion.

Looking forward to seeing this dubbed. In fact along with Yoko Kanno this is probably what I am most looking forward to at the convention.
Normally I wouldn't be excited over a dub but as I already saw this subbed (with Hosoda in attendance) seeing it dubbed means I get to experience something new.
And having seen both this and Psycho Pass. I would say Otakon got the much better deal in terms of dub premieres.
