[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

[-] girl@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago

goddamn I figured it was in the style but didn’t expect it to be a real movie lmao

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

It's a solid movie about the tanuki fighting off human expansion into their habitat, by using their balls as weapons

[-] bestnerd@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Not just weapons but means of travel and air transportation. Glider balls ftw

You should check it out, it's definitely a silly lighthearted children's movie about folklore-inspired tanuki with big balls, and not about the ever increasing encroachment of civilization and the effects it has on the environment! 😌

The parade of ghosts is one of my favorite scenes in any Ghibli movie

[-] Gruntyfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Balls to the walls is also a good summary of this movie

Underrated Ghibli.

The ending is very melancholy (not that that's unusual with Ghibli).

Didn't the shrine this is based on eventually get shutdown?

Edit: actually it didn't https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZzDNUirttcQTMMRS7

isn't there a big thing in Japanese culture where tanookis have huge balls (not figuratively)

very unrelated tangent (a tangent tangent?)I want to just say 'literally' but 'literally' now means 'literally (figuratively)' and saying 'literally literally' is more awkward than saying 'not figuratively' but saying 'not figuratively' makes grammar nerds angry at me so I added this random tangent to sate the grammar nerds

typing the spoiler title made my head hurt

comment on the very related tangentNah, if you used "literally" you would have helped the reputation of the word.

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

about your tangentWouldn't 'quite literally' be sufficient to get across the intended meaning of literally? Bear in mind, I'm not a native speaker so I have no clue if this is generally accepted.

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

the issue with saying 'quite

[-] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

fuck me lemmy cut off the message for no reason

[-] yetAnotherUser@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Must be because Lemmy knows I'm right and there aren't any issues with my argument 😎
