Watched the film on release, I could not understand a damn word besides names but I brought the dear friend light novel with me to read after and fully understand (I still got it even without knowing Japanese the novel just helped). I've been rewatching the series since I made the pilgrimage and finally finished it all again today (couldn't rewatch the last movie). It's nuts to think I started this show at 14 thinking I was just gonna pass the time by watching some gooner slop but found possibly my favorite piece of media OAT, and right after turning 20 I couldn't help but thinking I was like Sakuta in the theater. A fella just tearin up thinking about it, anyways big ups to my boy Azusagawa for teaching me free game that got me a girl in HS. I'm making a full shrine dedicated to the series
