>>55743438I just watched ICY.
Makoto is sex and yes Cynthia is her mom, they weren't subtle at all about that.
I wonder if Makoto's gonna appear in Horizons.
Also ICY was surprisingly...harsh in tone for an ashnime movie even with the whole context.
Although I still don't understand why exactly Ash believed that his method of befriending Pokemon was superior to Cross's, this wasn't elaborately explained but whatever. Some BS about "pure hearts" but how exactly is Ash's heart the purest that I fail to see, if anything, Souji's heart should be purer...
"Issho ni itai kara"...Yeah when Pikachu spoke that was something out of this world.
Also how the fuck did Ash resurrect after dying? It wasn't even explained here properly???
I got the impression that Kunihiko Yuyama was trying to use Pokemon as a metaphor for the innate psychological characteristics that a person possesses in this movie, which is a new take, very fresh, compared to the ashnime's Shudo's vision (well as I see it) that Pokemon are new concepts of knowledge that people apply in their lives
