          It’s a solid movie about the tanuki fighting off human expansion into their habitat, by using their balls as weapons

            Not just weapons but means of travel and air transportation. Glider balls ftw

          You should check it out, it’s definitely a silly lighthearted children’s movie about folklore-inspired tanuki with big balls, and not about the ever increasing encroachment of civilization and the effects it has on the environment! 😌

        Balls to the walls is also a good summary of this movie

    Underrated Ghibli.

    The ending is very melancholy (not that that’s unusual with Ghibli).

    isn’t there a big thing in Japanese culture where tanookis have huge balls (not figuratively)

    very unrelated tangent (a tangent tangent?)

    I want to just say ‘literally’ but ‘literally’ now means ‘literally (figuratively)’ and saying ‘literally literally’ is more awkward than saying ‘not figuratively’ but saying ‘not figuratively’ makes grammar nerds angry at me so I added this random tangent to sate the grammar nerds

    typing the spoiler title made my head hurt

      comment on the very related tangent

      Nah, if you used “literally” you would have helped the reputation of the word.

      about your tangent

      Wouldn’t ‘quite literally’ be sufficient to get across the intended meaning of literally? Bear in mind, I’m not a native speaker so I have no clue if this is generally accepted.
