CATDOLL: Japanese cartoonist criticizes "Your Name." for being too stupid and boring

Makoto Shinkai's animated theatrical version of "Your Name." was released on the 17th, and the box office has exceeded 6.3 billion yen. This work is also full of stamina, and everyone is looking forward to this work to create a new miracle. However, for such a popular work, there are not only praises, but also many people have made some criticisms of "Your Name.", but the criticism of the cartoonist Egawa Tatsu to this work is a bit confusing. He said that this film has no erotic elements and is small in scale. He also commented that the protagonists are extremely stupid... Such comments have also aroused heated discussions among Japanese netizens.

The representative work of cartoonist Tatsuya Egawa is the comic "Tokyo University Story". He has a perfect grasp of the characters' psychology and the pictures are quite detailed. Tatsuya Egawa said that after watching the film, he thought it was not bad, but it was smaller than he expected. He did not like the characters in it, and he did not see any erotic elements, so he thought it was not good. He also commented that the protagonists were extremely stupid and he could not empathize with them.

He also said that through this movie, he felt that popular works need stupid elements, which is due to the creator's poor ability to objectively examine himself. He also thought that although Makoto Shinkai was very good at backgrounds and small objects, the background perspective that should have been good was messy. Because this movie is still okay, he will not ask the director to return his time and money to him... and said that the family members who watched the movie with him all had a low opinion of this movie.

Regarding Tatsuya Egawa's comments, Japanese netizens have expressed their opinions: "I really want to ask you to return my money only after reading your comics", "The perspective police are here too?", "Do you and your family go to the movies just to see the erotic scenes?", "Mr. Egawa, do you still dare to talk about perspective? You even make a mess of the basic sketches." It seems that everyone is quite unimpressed by the comments of this cartoonist. However, it seems that you can criticize from any angle, why do you have to start with the erotic elements? Such a request is problematic, right? How do you view such criticism? Let's discuss it together.
