The movie is beautiful to look at, but the protagonist is a 16 year old runaway boy who seemingly whines and screams his way through life. He is over emotional and needs Prozac. We never do find out why he ran away. The story is a completeThe movie is beautiful to look at, but the protagonist is a 16 year old runaway boy who seemingly whines and screams his way through life. He is over emotional and needs Prozac. We never do find out why he ran away. The story is a complete fantasy, his girlfriend is able to create sunny days when it's raining, but that part didn't bother me. I also found the soundtrack very annoying at times, with a piano repeating the same refrain over and over. I love Anime, but this was not one of my favorites. Expand

Granted I am not the target audience for this sort of movie, it was like watching an episode of Friends, light, pretty and forgettable. I loved Garden of Words and so checked out Your Name which was beautiful but to me not magical like GardenGranted I am not the target audience for this sort of movie, it was like watching an episode of Friends, light, pretty and forgettable.

An absolute trainwreck of a story held together by beautiful animation, another solid Radwimps OST, and some good moments of characterization of its side characters.

The plot *really* wants you to believe in the (honestly pretty contrived) importance of the 15/16 year old romance between the two main characters, and if it doesn’t successfully convince you of that by the end, the last segment of the movie just feels incredibly out of place and unjustified. The movie theater I saw it in did not take kindly to the ending setup of the movie, with people actually laughing or shouting “WTF” at what were supposed to be melodramatic moments that just felt comedic in the absurdity of their execution. What a weird ending, and what an odd mix of positivity for teenage romance mixed with cynicism about society and the individual in the face of climate change. I really wish I could go back and delete the memory of this movie’s ending from my brain and just enjoy the first 75% of the movie I actually really did like. But as it stands I’m left more confused and bewildered at how shockingly bad of a place the movie leaves us at. Expand
