I've just had the pleasure of watching a new TG Anime film: Your Name (Kimi no Na wa 君の名は), by Makoto Shinkai (2016). It's a story about a high school girl in rural Japan and a high school boy in Tokyo who swap bodies. I highly recommend it to you! It is funny and beautifully animated---and it's TG! ;)
I have been a fan of Makoto Shinkai's work since his very first film Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi No Koe ほしのこえ), which was not TG. Your Name is very nice, and it happens to feature a TG love story and also one of my favorite themes, the Japanese legend: Red String of Fate! Two people who are connected in this way are bound together by Fate itself. A dream...a shared destiny....
The film is lovely, and it's cute; it also did very well at the box office and is internationally acclaimed, which is wonderful. I hope that we will see more of these kinds of creations in the future.
Some photos and the link to the movie trailer to whet your appetite (and I hope that you will watch this film!). Lemme know what ya think if you watch the film. ;)
