| Why is there always time travel. |
 |
| A boy who meets his imouto from the future, who has now become cute neesan? Out of context it sounds like a teasing plot for a romantic light novel, lol. But I will still wait for it, as it promises to be a good family film. |
 |
| This sounds really interesting. I'm always excited for Hosoda's movies. |

Swagernator said: Why is there always time travel. I'm no expert, but possibly because of the popularity of Yasutaka Tsutsui's famous SF novel, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time? I think it's considered a classic in Japan. Hosoda also filmed that one. |
| Lol, I thought the title was "Future of Future"/ Future's Future. This might be good, I'll check it out when available. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Looks good to me :) |
 |
| Sounds good to me. I'm personally looking forward to Mamoru Hosoda's next work and this has potential from what's shown so far. |

Swagernator said: Why is there always time travel. well at least it's better than yet another Isekai movie or anime. Seriously why is there always a transported to a different world anime. But seriously looking forward to it. Loved wolf children. |
| Wow, sounds really interesting. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| Actually, the film was announced a fewf months ago (in May more precisely) with synopsis. They just showed PV and announced details now. |

| Time travel? again? nevermind, It has to be worth watching |
| He always make kids stuff, I guess Studio Ghibli loves kids. ...................... |
 |
| Well I doubt it'll reach Kimi no Na wa's levels exactly but I'll watch it at least |
  |
| NOICE. i will definitely watch this one. i like hosoda's directing style. |
| Time travel is nice but considering how meh Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo was I don't have much expectations, let's see it it ends up being good. |
 |
| The premise and trailer look quite adorable! I'll be sure to check it out. |
| Looking forward to this one! Hope 2018 will give us good movies like 2017 did. |
| I'm SO excited! I loved the way he pulled off Girl Who Leapt Through Time, so even if the premise of this one sounds typical, I'm sure Hosoda will do it in a heartwarming and interesting way. |
| This movie was made for me. |
 |
| bakemono no ko was decent, not as great as wolf children... but look like it try to be wolf children one? aren't bakemono no ko is much more succesful? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Another movie that includes time travel for the shitty feels attempt, ridden to the brim with plot holes and inconsistencies. Bring it on Japan. |
 |
| Personally, I wasn't a fan of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, but for those who were, this will definitely be right up their alley! So while I most likely won't watch it, I am happy that it is being produced for the numerous TGWLTT fans |
 |
| Seems interesting. I'm always up for a nice family Anime. |
| Yay, more Hosoda!!! I love his movies. |
 |
| Any word on Sadamoto's possible implication as a chaa-designer?? It's called a "family movie" and isn't coming form Ghibli. |
| Hosoda can do better than this. Not saying it won't be good but it sounds samey and not as fantastical as some of his other films were going. |
 |
| Not sure what to think of this tbh. Looks rather 'meh' than 'good' according to the trailer & the synopsis. |
 |
| Got me at Mamoru Hosoda. It doesn't seem too interesting yet, but unless the reviews are terrible, I'll definitely be watching this. |
| I can't wait to see what Hosoda will do this time! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Nice! A new Hosoda's film is always welcome. |
| I can't wait to see it! |

This takes the cake as the most pompous and idiotic comment on this thread. Congratulations. Also, what's with the "meh" feelings on TGWLTT? It's legit one of his best films. Now Boy and the Beast, that I can understand being underwhelmed by. I enjoyed it, but it felt messier and less strongly put together than his previous works. I really hope Mirai can live up to the quality bar he set with Wolf Children and Summer Wars. |
