The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse.
The latest case involved a 17-year-old high school girl from Yokohama. Investigators believe Itou knew the girl was a minor when he paid her 30,000 yen for having sexual intercourse at his residence in December 2023.
He is also suspected of taking and saving photographs of the act.
Man who makes movie with half naked anime girls who look like children is caught having sex with children? No way. Never.
You seem to be confusing a heartfelt movie animated in Japan with the contents of your “homework” folder, champ.
Sorry pal, not into women.
Or research/Knowing what you’re talking about.
Like what?
Look two comments up and start rereading.
Koichiro Ito was the producer, NOT the director who is famous for creating those movies
Ok, fine. You’re spamming this all over.
Is the movie as described or not? I don’t care what his title was
Not at all! Your Name, Weathering With You, and Suzume are all extremely thoughtful, heartfelt stories with moving characters and deep messages. They are some of the best anime has to offer and I highly recommend them
The closest thing is in Your Name, a movie about two teenagers who body-swap over long distance. They are different genders and so there is a scene in which the movie explores the awkwardness of the situation. It’s handled tastefully and accurately for what you would expect from a couple of teenagers. (It’s important to note that in Japanese culture the sexuality of teenagers is something that is not stigmatized the way it is in Western culture, and contextually appropriate explanations of that subject are not considered overtly lewd). They do become romantically interested in each other so you can imagine it’s not exactly simple, but I never felt it crossed the line into perverted. You can see a series of screenshots that include a few frames from this scene here: https://screenmusings.org/movie/blu-ray/Your-Name/
That’s why I posted it multiple times (3 to be precise, not exactly spam IMO, in response to misleading comments). These are genuinely masterful works of art and I hate to see them tainted by slander.
They’re beating on a ragged anime trope trying to make a joke. Everyone lately thinks they’re comedian. :eyeroll:
Ok so is the movie like that or not
This particular movie? Not at all.
This movie (Your Name) and two others (Weathering with You & Suzume) use the trope anime boys meet girls to explore the impact of natural disasters which are especially prevalent in Japan
Thanks.
Wait was your name like that? It was recommended to me so many times when it came out that I started calling it your rope because of people saying the Japanese title when I didn’t know what they were talking about.
Koichiro Ito was the producer, NOT the director who is famous for creating those movies
And no, Your Name is not like that at all
