Synopsis
From squabbles about groceries against the ambient noise of the TV to their daily shenanigans, the Yamada family invites only a few unusual gazes—similar to any typical household. But despite their prickly exteriors, each of them genuinely cares for one another, making sure to smile and laugh through their otherwise dull and mundane lives. Tonari no Yamada-kun is an intimate and fun look into the lives of a typical Japanese family.

Underrated imo. I have seen several Studio Ghibli productions, but Tonari no Yomada-kun (My Neighbors the Yamadas) was much different than other Ghibli films. The sketched or newspaper style of this film was something I hadn't seen from Studio Ghibli before, but I enjoyed watching. I feel like Ghibli does well with almost any animation...other than 3d haha. Regarding the actual story, there wasn't really one. The movie was made up of short clips or little moments, which I typically wouldn't like. However, the movie captured life of a family and I got to know each characters personality. My favorite character was Shige:) Although this ...

My review will be a little bit biased, as I don't typically enjoy this type of slice-of-life. I did not particularly enjoy this film, but I recognize that a lot of that is because I just don't like the genre in general.
Tonari no Yamada-kun was a mish-mash of random small storylines presenting a family environment some might enjoy, but that I found rather annoying. The humor may have worked better in the context of the time it was made, but nowadays it just feels like "Boomer Humor", the same tired types of jokes that you often see in Facebook posts your parents like.

Biggest Disappointment from the Studio Ghibli.....I just watched this movie and I'm so frustated and disappointed that I can't keep the feeling limited to me. I just have to express my feelings about this movie in this review. I never expected this from Studio Ghibli.
This movie is so pathetic that I have rated it as 4/10. This is the lowest I have ever rated to an anime or movie. Even the OVAs float around 5/10 or 6/10 which are largely junk.
The only thing worth appreciating is the different art style. Though this art style doesn't inspire one to watch the movie/anime but still ...
