Simping for Mamoru Hosoda

You know what? Keeping it up with the Saturday and anime movie thing, I have going, let me just talk about my favorite anime director. Mamoru Hosoda. (No, I do not care that much about Makoto Shinkai. But that is another story.)

Look, I was kinda pre-disposed to loving this man's movies, given that my first fandom hyperfixation was Digimon and he did not only the first two movies, but also an episode from that show. So obviosuly I was kinda going to love his stuff and look out for it, when he started to get active outside of the fandom.

But darn, his movies are just so fucking awesome. And most of them make me cry.

Let me get a bit personal here. I come from a broken home. I had a single mother and that single mother was abusive af. I was homeless, when I was 18. Those parts of the family still alive to this day do not accept me as a guy, because they do not get the entire trans stuff.

But... Maybe it is because of this, that the Hosoda movies always speak to me.

Because the Mamoru Hosoda movies always deal centrally with the topic of family.

In Summer Wars this is very much clear text. It is about this big family clan and about the dynamics of the family. Both in the good and the bad. It also is surprisingly a lot about mutual aid and doing what you can.

Then we have Wolf Children, another movie that focuses on family. In this case of the family of the mother and her two children and about the two children as siblings.

The Boy and the Beast might be even more interesting, because this is very much a found family movie. After all our protagonist ends gets adopted in this monster family of sorts. And it is very much about the father-son relationship between him and his father figure. And about how adopted families can be as valid as blood families.

Mirai no Mirai does not even tackle that big of a topic with it. It is just about siblings and about outcomes and about, well, the future and what it might hold. I even managed this movie without crying!

And then we have Belle, a movie that actually shows us dysfunctional families. Both in the case of our protagonist, who just struggles to adjust after the death of her mother, but also more noticable with the parental abuse that the two brothers live through.

It really is a theme that basically shows up in all of Hosoda's original movies. And I love them for it.

Especially I do love, though, that there is some nuance in this. And that despite everything... We have a choice in this.

What fans say:

The Boy and the Beast:

It's about a person proving their worth, and their love for their adoptive parent figure.

I love the character development of the main character: he goes from a scared boy, angry with the world, to someone willing to sacrifice himself for others.

Tokyo Godfathers:

Quite possibly funniest movie I've ever seen. So many twists. But also genuinely moving. The best Christmas movie of all time.

MASSACRE ROUND 10: God I love gay people

Modified Bear (bear; Radiohead) vs. Woodcutter Bear (bear; Rhythm Heaven) vs. Kumatetsu (bear; The Boy and the Beast) vs. Bepo (polar bear; One Piece)

Submitters Say:

"Sorry if he's not a "real animal" enough!! Description: they're apparently genetically modified bears who end up looking antropomorphic!" (Modified Bear)

"90% sure this dude was both my furry and gay awakening. He’s crazy hot, he wears pants and overalls but no shirt, he yells masculinely at the top of his lungs while he chops wood in the forest, and he “wears clothes three times his size because his muscles get really big whenever he flexes.” He’s hot in canon too, the wiki says that the cats that he helps are “heavily implied to be attracted to him,” which is why they keep asking him to chop more wood for them. This also means that, at the very least, the cats are gay (they’re called “los gatos” in Spanish instead of “las gatas”), and, let’s be honest, the bear’s probably gay too. Just look at him. They’re just a few steps away from forming a polycule that worships this guy. Actually, they probably already have that without him knowing. Also at the end of the final remix, he chops open a giant peach and a baby comes out. I know this is a reference to a Japanese fairy tale, but I don’t know the specifics, so… it’s possible? Maybe? The mpreg furry polycule is possible? In the cute little rhythm game? Please?" (Woodcutter bear)

"Honestly I became so attached to this mess of a father figure. Shame the movie he's from released the same week as Zootopia in the US, I didn't know about the film until the next year. He's got issues, that's the best part! The bear has been my comfort character and blorbo since 2016 (oh god it's been that long?), and that's not about to change!!! I don't expect him to win, but hot damn do I wanna see this Dilf go down fighting." (Kumatetsu)

"If only one or two of the One Piece characters get in, it should definitely be either him or Carrot" (Bepo)

I commissioned GlaucoSilva on Twitter to draw this picture of Kumatetsu from The Boy and the Beast. It came out great.
