History YMMV / YouAreUmasou

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Carnivores need to eat meat, but this doesn't make them evil. Similar stories will often have the carnivorous family member miraculously manage to to live off of salads (or, in some more generous cases, bugs or fish). In this movie, while the art style doesn't indicate this, Heart is basically on the edge of starvation until he begins hunting. When [[spoiler: Heart's mother says that she would have offered herself as a meal to Heart if it came to that, Baku calls her out on the idea and points out that Heart would need more than just that single meal to live.]] Plenty of well-meaning human beings demonize carnivores while forgetting (or ignoring) the vital role they play in the natural order, which is where this particular message comes in.

* CultClassic: The movies and it’s TV anime of the same name have gained a small but passionate cult following in the West as of the late 2010s.

* SoOkayItsAverage: While the second movie still has it’s fans and captures story elements from the books to otherwise decent effect with a likeable cast, is animation-wise very unremarkable compared to the first movie’s [[SugarWiki/AwesomeArt stunning animation]], [[AbortedArc it leaves Heart’s story arc about his father in the first movie hanging]] and reduces Heart and Umasou to a very brief cameo.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The first movies' ending was vague/ambiguous enough for it to have a sequel that takes place immediately where it ends to give fans a movie where we could've seen more of the original cast and where Heart could learn that Baku [[spoiler: is his father]]. Instead, we got a sequel that takes place years after the original with Heart and Umasou only making a brief cameo in the movie, and many fans of the original consider it to be InNameOnly or entirely different than the first movie.

* NightmareFuel: Heart's nightmare about his carnivorism. He dreams that he can hear his mom calling to him, but he can't find her. He then looks down to see that her calls are coming from ''inside his stomach''. He has ''eaten her and the rest of his family alive''. Understandably, he's pretty shaken when he wakes up.

* TearJerker: Heart’s lack of self-esteem/self-worth as a parent to Umasou for the majority of the runtime. It may not be immediately obvious, but the young T-Rex doubts himself a lot to the point he gets terrifying anxiety-filled nightmares that bring out his worst fears to the surface. It’s only until Umasou accepts him anyway as his father despite their differences that he starts to believe in himself again and calls Umasou his son.
** After Heart puts Umasou in a safe rocky hole to sleep, Heart goes hunting. The sky and land are blood red and he thinks to himself that Umasou won’t accept him if he saw him killing other herbivores and that he’s not Umasou’s father, saying “the truth will be exposed” right before brutally killing a herbivore. As he’s eating, he sounds like he’s ''sobbing''. He looks up with tears streaming down his face, clearly ashamed/disgusted of who he is and what he’s become, feeling like a monster. He then says this line: [[WhamLine “How did Mom feel when she raised me?“]] It then cuts to Umasou being protected from the rain (just like Heart’s mom did for him in his childhood) under Heart while Heart is contemplating and angry, leading into the “race” scene.
** The build-up to and the actual “race” Heart and Umasou have to see if they can be together forever as a family is ''gut-wrenching''.
** Heart explains to Umasou that their training is something everybody has learned and that it’s time for them to go their separate ways in the gentlest way possible. Umasou who truly loves his dad is heartbroken by this and is on the verge of tears begging to stay with Heart. Heart feels he has to be blunt and tells him to stop trying to be like him and that he simply can’t be like him (heavily implying Heart hates himself). Umasou questions this, pleading to stay with Heart and leading into the aforementioned “race”.
** [[spoiler:While Umasou is running with all his might, Heart’s simply effortlessly plodding along and when they both reach a certain distance, Heart quietly turns around to give them both distance as he wishes he be safe.]] Doesn’t help the music is so heartbreaking and emphasises the whole sad affair so [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic beautifully]]. Thankfully, he sprints over to go save Umasou who was attacked [[spoiler:and nearly killed]] by Baku’s family, defeating the group of T-Rexes in the process.
** After [[spoiler:Heart is exiled from Baku’s territory in an effort to protect Baku’s own family]], Heart takes Umasou to a safe location where he gently wakes the [[spoiler:injured]] child. Umasou is alive to Heart‘s relief but Umasou weakly says to Heart he didn’t catch up to him in time and asks if that means they’re a family. [[spoiler:Heart [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone realising he had just put his own son through serious danger by accident and cries in remorse]], says yes and that they’ll be together, as father and son.]] Also qualifies as Heartwarming.
** Early on, a young Heart panics upon seeing seeing the group of Tyrannosauruses kill a herbivore right in front of him and he runs back to the forest scared out of his mind. It’s when he accidentally nearly attacks Light (his brother) after eating the tail of the young T-Rex, Gonza that the horrifying realisation sets in that he might accidentally hurt his family that he runs away.
