Where to start with My Neighbors the Yamadas

One film, an hour and three quarters, and it is a series of short sketches rather than a story. If you are waiting for a plot you will wait the whole way.

    My Neighbors the Yamadas (1999) My Neighbors the Yamadas

    An ordinary Japanese family, in short episodes, drawn in watercolour and empty space like the newspaper strip it comes from.

Then what? Nothing follows. Isao Takahata used the same approach again, far more ambitiously, in The Tale of the Princess Kaguya fourteen years later.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
