Just what the title says. Are you looking forward to this one, MAL? I was a huge fan of Tatami Galaxy (and practically everything else Yuasa's ever done), so I don't think it's possible for me to be any more hyped than I am right now.

Please discuss your respective levels of hype.

I don't know anything about the novel, but this has classic Yuasa all over it. I'm especially excited about seeing recurring characters (The Master and Ozu) or at least look-alikes from Tatami Galaxy as though it's the same universe. Even the MC looks (and acts) a lot like Watashi.

I'm so hyped for this I can't contain it.

Well it is a yuasa project so that is reason alone to be hyped
I am just a little worried if the similar character designs from tatami galaxy if yuasa starts to rehashing the concepts from his previous works
I also kind of love how all his works have a variety in character designs that really enhance the concepts of the show he is working so i am not sure how that will work here

Sooo much hype

The description is reminding of when Master Haguchi claimed to be a god in the first episode (but wasn't exactly one imo) and when he was planning to travel all over the world... I think it's gonna be awesome if it's related.

So excited. Gonna listen to Haguchi's song about circles and triangles again now :p

This, or he could be working on Matsumoto's last manga, Sunny !
Or maybe something completely different. (i kinda hope it is but i'd be totally ok to see him working on a TV adaptation of another Morimi or Matsumoto work.)

Hype generally is not healthy so I try to avoid it if possible but considering what we have here: Masaki Yuuasa, Yuusuke Nakamura, Asian Kung-Fu Generation? Well, There is nothing I can do to contain my hype, isn't there?.

I am not familiar with the novel and the author so I cant really tell, but I saw some characters from Tatami Galaxy there in the PV. Is there any relation of this movie with Tatami Galaxy?

Same universe.

“For those of you who are unfamiliar with Morimi’s other novels, Jurojin, or Rihaku (his real name), is a major reccurring character in Morimi’s novels. The events in the novel 夜は短し歩けよ乙女 are centered around this very guy. This novel also contains reoccuring characters from his other novels such as Master Higuchi, Hanuki, Aijima (The Tatami Galaxy), and the young master from Chitose-ya (A part of Friday Fellows in The Eccentric Family)."

Interesting. It means somewhere within this movie, there exist Akashi and Watashi dealing with their own problems.

I assume all those recurring characters from Tatami Galaxy would have little role and significance in advancing the story in this movie apart from just being cameos. But well, that's enough of me speculating, better behold the movie myself and let all the curiosities and questions be unfolded as I am watching.

Hmmm yeah, I've noticed this movie a while ago in the database, not sure about this, I mean I loved Tatami Galaxy and from the looks of it, this seems very similar but what is there to guarantee to me that the same reasons I loved tatami are gonna be even present in this? I mean the author is the same but I have not read anything from him, I don't know what are the similarities between his novels, either way I am definitely watching it but hyped? nope.

I'm not sure why the ending of Tatami Galaxy would make you cry, unless it was tears of joy and happiness. Care to elaborate in a PM or something?

On another note, watching this newest PV (out since February? Seriously?) made me super hype for this movie all over again. The wait is going to be terrible, but it will all be worth it.

Probably half a year from now. Expect fan translations months later, possibly more. It is unlicensed right now.

Just finished watching this.
So much fun! It's my first time watching anything by Masaaki (apparently you guys really like him, looks like I need to get on Tatami Galaxy!), and I went in knowing nothing about the story besides a basic description I read.

Can't wait for an English sub so I can understand everything that was going on; God knows my Japanese isn't at the necessary level to understand everything that I heard, but it was still great.

Also, looks like I need to buy the manga...

I saw this last night here in the UK. I've only seen like a few minutes of Tatami Galaxy a few years back, so I was only slightly familiar with Masaaki's style. I thought it was incredible! Funny and heartfelt. Kana Hanazawa did a great job here. I honestly don't understand why this isn't more popular! I'm so glad I watched it, def checking out Tatami Galaxy now.
