I didn't notice that their relationship is anything beyond maybe being a little more than friends, like a sister-sister relationship or something. I don't know why people keep thinking that these anime characters are like couples or is having a crush on one another.
I hope that there is an Evangelion video game where you can beat Asuka up!
Because they think it makes them sound cool and knowing. Actually it just makes them sound adolescent.
It's a purely American response, LBGT has been on the minds of many lately. It's also been a while since we've had a film like this, at least in the public eye. Growing up I remember a lot of films like this that features young girls with very strong bonds of friendship. Blame a nonsensical family film market for not pushing quieter, character driven films like this.
"Unless you're an alien, time traveler, or esper, your opinion doesn't matter."
tbf, it does get a bit.... close, which is more understandable at the end of the movie
I'm a contradiction
Well with Anna it could be anything, but with Marnie she definitely was NOT a lesbian. Because she was attracted to that boy.
shareI didn't see it either.
shareI got a lesbian vibe from some of the scenes, maybe because of Ana's blushing. Of course there are other explanations for that, like that she is shy and not used to it. But the thought definitely crossed my mind.
shareOf course there was a vibe, the relationship between the girls developed into a deep and intense attachment almost immediately, not at all like a normal friendship. The relationship between Anna and the younger girl who moved into the Marsh House was much more typical of a childhood friendship, with interests shared but secrets kept, with time lapsing between meeting and declaring themselves friends. Anna and Marnie were holding hands and swearing each other to secrecy on the first "date".
Since I'd guessed the nature of the attachment between Anna and Marnie about five minutes into the film I merely thought "Gosh, all this hugging and dancing could certainly misconstrued", but I actually think that the intensity of their love was meant to be almost sinister. It was pretty obvious that Marnie wasn't "real", and that Anna was giving her heart to something not of this Earth, which is always dangerous in ghost stories. Ever read or see "The Haunting"?
