I have retweeted this hilarious chain of translations done by the kind @nise_shi.
Apparently this is how the Japanese react to Hollywood taking on Kimi no Na Wa.
Unlike people in the West, Japanese in general never fail to find humor in anything.
My favorite one would be getting Michael Bay to assist with the meteror crash scene. Hey now, that’s actually the one job anyone would run to him for!

“Who da fuck are you?!”
“Loser””Cunt”
I lost my shit right there.
TBH literally no one has any positive thoughts, myself included. This is a ridiculous idea to begin with and right after they butchered Death Note they decide to do the same to Kimi no na wa making me really question if they can even read the mood. Bad time period. Bad choice of adaptation.

If anything, I expect the movie to play out the way that the title won’t even be Your Name anymore.

I’m going to write a blog post about anime turned live action and would like to mention and link to this blog. Would that be ok?

Just take the link of the tweet and talk about it, saves you the time since you will not have to mention my blog at all. 😛
Have it your way however!

Wow, why is that so hilarious? XD
I have no hope for this film either way. Do what you gotta do, Hollywood, but I’ll probably skip this.

If anything, I think that’s most fitting for Australian films.

Since “Ghost in the Shell” came out I have exactly zero expectations that Hollywood will ever produce a quality live-action re-imagining of an anime title. They don’t understand the genre and they have no concept of what “dialog driven” means. With Hollywood it is all about verbal transitions from one giant exploding fireball to another.
