There is always the debate between which is better, "Your Name." or "A Silent Voice", but the truth is that they are both beautiful.

Questions like how were they able to switch bodies, and why they forget their names were all not explained. It just seems like lazy writing to me as some things were set up too coincidently, like how they meet up at the end of the film. Also the comet struck the place twice is also very unlikely and have to suspend your believe too much. The town eventually got wiped out, but is it not like groundhog day that they could try to save the town over and over again, until it works? Just with a romantic plot line just doesn't cut it, and the romantic plot is very thin aswell and wasn't enough to get me invested. Very forgettable storyline.… Expand

Whether you are into anime or not, if there is just one you should see, then make it this. This is an anime of legend and will be honored for decades to come. It clearly deserves all the praise it's been given.

The animation is gorgeous and vibrant. The OST is also wonderful with some haunting and heartbreaking melodies that stir the soul and capture the imagination. Clearly this was a labour of love and that shows.

The plot is not new and has been done before many times. But the production, editing, pacing and overall writing of the characters is so masterfully done that it becomes it's own. The genre it best falls into is slice-of-life romance with a touch of fantasy. A little bit of a slow burn at the start, but does get momentum pretty quick.

Overall: I can go on and on about this movie (it's a movie, not a series) but in short: it beautiful and a must see for all.… Expand

It failed to evoke any deeper emotions and reflections. But Makoto Shinkai-in this story of love, despair, redemption, search, and identity-managed to evoke these.

The story is simply ravishing, and so is the graphic work. The verdant nature of Japanese countryside, the never-sleeping, always busy city of Tokyo. Enrapturing. Although I have heard some strong criticism of the music by RADWIMS, which is by some considered too teen, and inimical to the emotional substance of the story, I found it a perfect match. The sounds complemented more than well the despairs of the characters, and enhanced the visual beauty.

Importantly, this is not only the tale of two Japanese adolescents swapping their bodies. It is the story of Japanese culture and history, tale of the struggle of Japanese youth, and metaphor for the tragedy that hit Japan in 2011. Combining all of these is not an easy task and could easily result in the chaos, yet this movie succeeded in combining these heavy themes in such a gentle, harmonious, and tender way. It was deservedly awarded numerous prizes in Japan and internationally.… Expand

I did love the piano pieces though/ Its a lovely example of anime. I find myself relating to the quirky characters, to times when they panic and so on. The sunsets look beautiful - there are some panoramic type scenes/moments which really took my breathe away. I like the noise of the crickets outside the house in some scenes and the young children badgering the teenage characters. I find the fantasy and spirituality aspects/elements of this film comforting. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend it.… Expand

The stunning visuals, the great soundtrack, its fantastic ending, I could go on. The entire body-swapping concept of this movie makes for some humorous and overall fun moments. However, the concept itself is a little confusing and leaves for more questions. Here is where my main and only problem lies with Your Name, and that is the handful of minor plotholes that are sprinkled throughout the movie.

The main one that is prominent is the romantic development between the female main character, Mitsuha, and the main male character, Taki. A lot of the interactions they have failed to explain the sudden romantic significance that they begin to hold for each other. However, I think this can be glossed over and attributed to their mutual experiences with the whole body-switching fiasco. Either way, to build on this, hyper analyzing this movie will result in a loss of enjoyment. There are a fair number of plotholes, and for a person like me, I don't think that I can just pass over them and give such a high score. To be fair, a movie has only so much runtime, and so many concepts and other rough edges are unable to be fine-tuned in a movie that has to cover as much ground as Your Name.

Regardless, Your Name can be appreciated for what it is from an artistic sense: an absolute masterpiece. The production is some of the best you will ever see, and I truly stand by that statement. It ultimately boils down to what you prefer. If you want a movie that will move you, then watch Your Name. If you are the type to read into details way too often like I am, then Your Name should probably not be your first pick for a movie, but you should still give it a chance, if only for its fantastic artistic presentation.… Expand

It is interesting all the time because the movie is not boring. The story is fancy and modern. I like the plot that the boy from the city and the girl from the rural town are switching the bodies. I like how they show their culture in 2 sides (countryside & city). The story was written by Makoto Shinkai. This movie is one of his successful cause it gained a lot of money. The time for this movie is 107 minutes. It is look like the movie is long but actually it is not too long. All the time when I watching this movie, I really curious what will happen next. The illustrators and the animators of this movie are very skilled. The scene of the movie is very beautiful. The sky is very nice. Especially the scene that the comet is separating itself. The character in the movie too , They make very clear emotion of the characters. Some place is used from the real one such as Shinjuku, Shinano-machi station pedestrian bridge and Yotsuya Station. The movie soundtracks of this movie are really good too. That are sung by the Japanese rock band name Radwimps. I can listen the playlist of these songs for month! At last, I know that the characters in this movie, later appeared in Shinkai’s next film “Weathering with you”. I have to clear my time to see his movie! If you haven’t watched this movie yet, you should watch it once in your life!… Expand

There is nothing to even marginally dislike about 'Your Name'. The animation is sensational, breathtaking in fact. The amount of detail, particularly in Tokyo, is insane. It's utterly gorgeous to watch.

Then you have the magnificent story, which is filled to the brim with feeling and meaning. I felt everything that it intended me to. It's also paced to perfection and is told through two memorable characters in Taki (Ryūnosuke Kamiki) and Mitsuha (Mone Kamishiraishi).

Kamiki and Kamishiraishi are excellent in the lead roles. Of course I don't understand Japanese and was using subtitles, yet I still felt every intended emotion from those two. Class from them. Of the others, Ms. Okudera (Masami Nagasawa) is the one that sticks out most to me.

If all that wasn't enough, you even have a tremendous soundtrack and score to boot. It really does all make for a fantastic viewing experience, one I will be revisiting no doubt and one I would undoubtedly recommend.… Expand

Your name was one of the biggest Japanese animation movies to come out in the last decade. I am a huge fan of anime but I never really bothered to watch your name despite all the hype because of other commitments. The premise of the movie isYour name was one of the biggest Japanese animation movies to come out in the last decade. I am a huge fan of anime but I never really bothered to watch your name despite all the hype because of other commitments. The premise of the movie is "Two teenagers share a profound, magical connection upon discovering they are swapping bodies. But things become even more complicated when the boy and girl decide to meet in person". I finally decided to watch this movie and wanted to see if this movie was deserving of its hype.

Firstly, the animation and art style is so beautiful. Every shot in this movie is visually striking and it is very clear that the director (Makoto Shinkai) and his team were thorough in the detail of Tokyo and the rural countryside. The setting of this movie is based on the real world but it is so gorgeous to look at, that it feels magical. Every little thing in this movie is just so visually pleasing from the skyscrapers to the forest to just the characters eating; it's stunning. This movie was definitely robbed by the Oscar for not even nominating the movie. The music is also done by a Japanese band call "Radwimps" and it is phenomenal. Their songs are perfectly utilised in the movie and perfectly represents and elevate the emotion of the scene. It's surprising because using vocal pop songs are usually jarring but Your Name does it in such an effective way that the scene wouldn't feel the same without it. The story within this movie sounds cliche with the body-swapping but the way it is executed is so fundamentally different from anything Hollywoods done that it feels unique. Mitsuha is the girl who lives in the rural countryside and is a shrine maiden but wishes to live in Tokyo. Taki is the boy who lives in Tokyo who is a talented artist aspiring to be an architect. They both end up randomly swapping bodies which results in them having to discover why this is happening but also learning about each other along the way. The situation leads to them dealing with each other problems but also discovering more about themselves. Mitsuha and Taki wouldn't interact normally but this event leads to them creating a bond where they both would be irreplaceable to one another. Romance movies are not something I am fond of but Your Name kept me emotionally invested in what was going on. There is some laugh out loud moments that are expected of body-swapping but there are some serious, suspenseful and even genuinely heartwarming moments that tug at my heartstrings. The director masterfully inserts these clashing tones and makes it fit together to complement each other. There are some twist and unconventional ways to body-swapping done in this movie that sets it apart from other romance or body-swapping movies. On top of that, the characters are absolutely loveable with their quirky personalities. There is also supporting characters who are the friends of Mitsuha and Taki who are just the best people in the world. Overall, the movie is such a wild rollercoaster of emotions. There were so many moments where I was screaming internally because I was so invested in these characters and their situation. The constant message of searching for something or someone is the theme of the movie and it shouldn't resonate but it does. All of this leads to a satisfying finale that by the end I've felt rewarded. I've never been so engaged in a romance movie until Your Name. The fantastically beautiful animation that is weaved together with a very human story with likeable characters leads to what may be the best animation movie in the last decade. This was a sensational experience that everyone should experience themselves.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have wanted to watch this movie since I first heard of it nearly 4 years ago, and now that I have seen it, I can say it did not disappoint. I was excited for a heartfelt and sweet tale of body-swapping between Taki, a Tokyo boy, and Mitsuha, a countryside girl, even if the premise isn't overly unique. But the movie was so much more than that once you reach the halfway mark. The movie is absolutely beautiful in its animation, its music, and its settings, especially Itomori. The hometown of Mitsuha is focused on in the early stages, with the characters, culture, and scenery shown in all its glory, investing you in the life of the people and places there. Tessie's idea that he'll probably just stay in the town his whole life really stuck with me once the movie wrapped up. About halfway through the movie, it is revealed that the festival which Itomori are so excited for ends in disaster, as the comet breaks apart and crashes into the town, destroying the town and killing the people excited for their festival, and that this all occurred three years earlier that Taki's story. Seeing the beautiful scenery destroyed, and Mitsuha, Tessie, and Sayaka among the deceased made my heart sink. The movie invested me so well, and when the reveal happened, I legitimately dropped the biscuit I was eating like I was in a movie. That is not a joke! The image of Mitsuha excitedly ascending to the top of the hill with her friends and the meteors coming down is crushing. Taki's defeat afterwards is so sad, and you can see the bewilderment so well. Then, his journey to save Itomori and Mitsuha when he realises he is not just making it up is exhilarating. The beautiful sequence of him understanding Mitsuha's past is really amazing, and when he wakes up as Mitsuha, it's incredibly uplifting. The attempt at saving Itomori is both joyous and nerve-wracking, as the Itomori friends are back together and alive, but the mission seems impossible. Taki and Mitsuha's reunion is also heart-warming and heart-wrenching, as the twilight imagery is paid off and they finally meet. The shot of the falling pen is also so quick and hits you hard. I thought that was a brilliant choice, over a slow, dramatic drop of the pen. The shot of Itomori being obliterated by the comet is also impactful, I've never had a reaction like I did to that, with an emotional intake of breath. Finding that the people of Itomori were evacuated in time after Mitsuha's confrontation of her father was a relief that I was unsure if I would get. Seeing the characters living happy lives in the future was wonderful, and Taki's philosophy of making landscapes and architecture that stick in the memory was impactful, and has actually stuck with me since seeing the movie. You never know when things will disappear, and even if you don't love it, there's always someone who will. It made me think. And that final scene was beautiful, with great scenery and a joyous reunion. The movie isn't perfect (it's more 10 than 9 though) and if it were up to me I would change parts, but that is to be expected of any movie. The explorations of the bodies do leave me with some discomfort, Mitsuha's journal entries deleting themselves didn't seem to make the most sense to me, and I thought perhaps the characters would find some conclusion other than love, but all that is nitpicking to a degree and personal preference.

Overall, Your Name is a stunningly gorgeous movie in all senses. The story was surprisingly emotional, the animation is beautiful, and the music is great. Watching this film has definitely made me think, and I was pondering things outside of the movie for many days after. This movie is incredible, and is a new favourite for me!… Expand

Aqui temos uma historia de amor que intercala uma ficção muito bem fundamentada com o universo de jovens contemporâneos - que vivem em situações muito distintas. As dificuldades apresentadas vão além da compreensão humana, e passam a ser de escalas inimagináveis. O Story Telling aqui é impecável. Temos transições entre os protagonistas e a dinâmica funciona muito bem. A diferença entre o life style dos dois é marcante e o diretor sabe muito bem como trabalhar em cima disso com a cenografia e uma fotografia atenta. O mesmo utiliza de vários planos, brinca com as proporções - dando uma identidade única a sua cinematografia-, e trata o filme como um quadro em movimento. Cada plano tem algo a dizer e poderia mesmo ser confundido com uma foto.

A dublagem do filme está excelente. Da primeira vez que assisti, optei pelo idioma de origem, mas ao assistir pela segunda vez, notei que a dublagem brasileira não deixa a desejar, sabendo muito bem como lidar com as tonalidades diferentes sem deixar a obra com um tom muito infantil. O fator replay é muito bem desenvolvido. O diretor deixa varias pistas e referencias ao redor da obra, o que valida muito rever o filme. O suspense e o mistério fundamentado nas emoções dos personagens é tão bem feito que, mesmo assistindo pela segunda vez, me emocionei e me encontrei em situações onde estava ansioso. O desenvolvimento dos personagens é orgânico. Aqui se evitam monólogos, e tudo sobre eles está na tela. Todo significado cultural envolvido, a relação entre os personagens, as atitudes quanto ao mistério e até mesmo a aceitação sobre toda aquela situação mostra muito bem quem eles são e o que os mesmos pensam.

O plot do filme nos pega de surpresa, eliminando quase toda nossa esperança, nos deixando perdidos e com uma "interrogação na cara". Fico feliz em dizer que o filme apostou bem nessa decisão, pois o que poderia ser apenas mais um romance com toques de ficção, se tornou a historia de amor definitiva.

Nota 10.… Expand

Though this film is visibly beautiful, the concept of switching bodies is made complicated by the overabundance ofYour name is a movie about the phenomena of a teenage boy, Taki, and girl, Mitsuha, switching bodies and finding one another. Though this film is visibly beautiful, the concept of switching bodies is made complicated by the overabundance of body switching and lack of plot motion within some of their “switches”. The art and animation flows beautifully together. There’s plenty detail to look at in any scene. Settings feel complete and alive. If you’re looking for a film to put on as more of a screensaver, this would probably be my first recommendation.

The character depth doesn’t go far beyond Taki being a stereotypical boy and Mitsuha being a stereotypical girl. I felt more intrigued in the lives of Mitsuha’s friends and family than in Mitsuha herself. All other unmentioned characters are simply forgettable with no substance. (Oh, and Ms. Okudera was okay.)

The music is unfitting for many situations it’s placed in. It seemed forced into climactic scenes where music shouldn’t have thrown emotion onto the viewer and would better have been portrayed through visuals alone. It would have been possibly better if there were more orchestral pieces, but instead the soundtrack ends up being an annoyance more than a merit due to feeling shoehorned in.

The conclusion didn’t feel worth the frustrating amount of build-up present throughout the film. I understand that sometimes subtlety is best for a conclusion, but there wasn’t enough of an ending to justify all that the characters have been through for the ending we got.

Your Name ends up being a constant frustrating tease. While the art is astounding, the movie doesn’t feel like a complete package. At its core, it wasn’t fun to watch due to uninteresting main characters and a plot so convoluted it’s hard to comprehend what’s going on at almost any time. Instead it’s just a pretty mess.… Expand

This movie looks beautiful. I was amazed the whole movieGreat movie overall. I think it has so many good elements that make this movie as good as it is. First of all: Gorgeous. It has some great animation and the backgrounds look stunning. This movie looks beautiful. I was amazed the whole movie by the insane amount of detail every frame of this movie has. If this movie got something right is the presentation. You have to be a hater to deny that. The score for the most part was beautiful and fits the movie really well. However, the movie has some really bad music at times. For example, at the beggining, during the "opening", the music that was playing was like a really corny pop-rock song straight out of the 2000s, and to me, made the opening feel really cheesy and left me a bad first impression. There are moments in the movie where, instead of using more of that beautiful score, they decide to put more pop-rock music. It kinda ruined the tone of the scene. But it is not a really big problem, because, like I said, for most of the movie, it has a really good score. Other thing I really liked is the writing. The dialogue and the way the characters are written, specially character interactions, is really good, and the twists and turns were well executed and turned the movie in something I wasn't expecting. Speaking about that, that is both a praise and a criticism, because if something doesn't let this movie get a 10/10 from me is this:

IT'S TOO COMPLICATED!

The story is just too hard to swallow. While not incomprehensible, this movie was something I wasn't expecting: Complicated. Now, don't say I'm a braindead retard because this movie is too smart for me. I think it is the subject matter what really makes this movie really hard to follow. (Kinda spoiler) A movie about this crazy sh*t of alternate universes and time travel and all that is kinda hard to write because there is a 99% chance that you will make something that, either doesn't make any sense or too complicated.

I know that there are articles on the internet that explain the movie but really I don't feel like reading them. I think I'm fine with what I got from the story. Other than that, this movie was really good. I definetely recommend it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was enjoying the movie so much! It's was outstanding! The characters were spectacular and perfect in their own ways. The emotions this movie can you feel is unbelievable! The graphics and animations were spot on and smooth. The characters voices fitted them perfectly! I was loving it so much and hoping the movie would end perfectly with the typical happy ending where they'd remember each other, just to make my night. But of course, in a realistic setting that fitted the characters relationship and personality. However, I reached the ending and I couldn't be any less disappointed. It basically left me on a cliffhanger that I knew would never continue. Very, very slim chance! The fact that the two main characters had finished off the movie seeing each other, passing a few times making my heart drop every time at the chance of the movie ending with them not saying anything at all. BUT they did speak! ENDING IT WITHOUT FINISHING THEIR SENTENCE! And the fact that I knew it was a slim to no chance at all that there'd be a part two made me even more devastated. The two characters saying "Your name is..." and having the view moving towards the sky and ending there made me angry, annoyed, sad and devastated. However, other than that the movie was amazing and 10/10 would highly recommend this movie, that is if you aren't as sensitive about movie endings like I am. It was a great movie and I enjoyed it while it lasted! I hope to see a part two in the future, although it's very unlikely.… Expand

2. EMOTIONAL IMPACT AND PLOT TWISTS
3. ATTENTION TO DETAIL

1. QUALITY OF ANIMATION/CINEMATOGRAPHY – I cannot remember the last time I gasped at how beautiful the background art was in a film. Some scenes are downright amazing to look at and left me with the feeling of awe.

2. EMOTIONAL IMPACT AND PLOT TWISTS – Starts off as a funny romantic comedy then unexpected plot twists move the film and audience into such deep emotions of deep, painful longing, abandonment, hope and love. I was moved to tears. You do need to suspend your disbelief on a few things. 3. ATTENTION TO DETAIL – I am astounded at how every little detail all ties together in the end. The plot was so complex and yet, when I watched it a second time, I saw so many clues and signs that hinted at the dramatic changes. Incredible attention to detail. If there’s any fault to the movie, it is a lack of story with Taki’s character who probably deserved a little more screen time on his history. I thought the ending also took too long to resolve. I don’t want to spoil it so I’ll just leave it at that. Such amazing and moving story telling. One of my favorite films of all time.… Expand

I used to love his work like "5 Centimeters Per Second" but this time he created a mass of kitsch. Yes the animation is beautiful but it can't tell the story. "Your Name." is just a bad taste anime to entertain the audience, and show how Makoto lost his own vision and style to made a popular popcorn movie (like Michael Bay did). The thing I can't stand the most is how the people keep hyping this movie (even Makoto told people do not go to the theater watch this movie). The main characters are empty. They didn't have a real interaction, I cannot understand why the people think this is emotional. Okay maybe the emotion doesn't really need to be rational but I hardly feel the characters' mind. At the end, the story cannot express any feeling (the music is not suitable for the mood too).

In conclude, the whole anime is disappointing. The reason is not about how bad it is, it's about how Makoto fail to be an artist, and a stylist he could be.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't think of any anime movie I've seen that had a better combination of animation and story quality. The tension I felt at the end of the movie, and the emotional release at the end felt epic. The movie kept building up, and while I agree that Makoto Shinkai might have been able to make this movie even better, I still give this film a 10. His only competition in trying to make a better movie would be himself. I'm sure there are some that may not enjoy the subject matter, or may not like the concept, but I thought this was beautiful, awesome combination of some of my favorite plot devices/situations - one of them being two people swapping bodies, but it really got crazy as the film kept going. I think this one is worth watching more than once. 3 movies I watched years ago had elements which were recaptured and reused in Your Name. Freaky Friday (which really doesn't have much else in common except two people's minds switching bodies). The Lake House, which involves two people communicating with each other but never meetings and (major spoiler) communicating between different time periods. And Memento - which takes some re-watches because it's presented out of chronological order, or in a non standard order of events, and also involves writing things down in places so you can remember, and forgetting things very quickly. I loved all these elements of Your Name. It also have a gigantic, and devastating explosion, feels like every movie could use at least one, for dramatic effect. The movie had humor, it had romance, it brings a sense of longing, it had some great music, and amazing animation, both the character animation, the camera/motion effects, the scenery. I'm a huge fan of Miyazaki movies, and for a very long time Studio Ghibli was my gold standard of anime, it's the best of the best quality. Makoto Shinkai has impressed me time and time again and this was the absolute best I've seen from him. Fantastic movie. And he, in my mind, is standing alongside Miyazaki in greatness.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Damn, now this video hit at least 40 mil, I'm so glad this movie got recognized for its fame, and for it being the movie to beat Spirited Away. I did watch that movie as well, mainly for its music and for the scenes and ending. Now, for Kimi No Nawa, it illustrates how we feel on certain things in life, how will never see that person, or wanting to see that person. That really goes on saying that these certain movies can touch on our hearts, but no one can really see this. Cause most people in the world don't have our tastes, some do, but not at this extent. But mostly, Your Name goes on to keep us watching over and over, and to appreciate it's style of writing and pleasure. Even though Makoto Shinkai couldn't handle the praise of his own movie, he has to understand that we relate to this kind of situation, and some of use knows how we feel when we knew somebody, but never got to talk or see to that person again. Shinkai really shows everything in his mind on what he imagines. I want to do that myself when I get into that kind of work for my story, but when making a story/storyline, you have to Brainstorm for hours on end on what goes here and there, and having to lay out characters for certain events. Shinkai did great, he warmed my heart from this movie, and gave me chills, especially with the colorful and vibrant environments in this film, I wish he realized his achievement, and stopped doubting himself, why don't people just accept the fact they've achieved something great or accept the fact they have to do this or that, and put everything you have into it, you don't have to give up on something hard or not worth doing,. But the point is that this film is gorgeous, and my hands hurts from typing so much, 10/10, love it forever!… Expand

Never watch anime. Watched this as a meme, came out very surprised with the amazing artwork seen in the movie. The story, although generic, kept me on my toes trying to decipher what in the world was going on.

Some of the best animation ever, an amazing soundtrack and a carefully crafted story filled with amazing characters make this movie one of the best animated movies ever. A masterpiece.

La direction artistique est sublime, les couleurs sont pures et étincelantes, mais ce qui prend le plus est sans doute le récit du film, qu'on ne peut assimiler sans l'avoir vu 2, 3, 4 fois.. chose que j'ai bien évidemment faite.
En bref, si vous voulez une claque visuelle, un récit qui vous emporte loin de votre lit douillet d'où vous regardez ce chef-d'oeuvre, si vous voulez vivre des sensations enfouies depuis très, mais alors très longtemps, sautez sur cet oeuvre magnifique au plus vite.
Mention particulière pour les musiques qui sont, d'une part, très bien réalisées, et d'autre part insérée à la perfection pour nous entrainer d'autant plus dans cette histoire qui paye à être partagée au plus grand nombre.
A voir et à revoir (10/10).… Expand

A boy and a girl switch bodies - perhaps a somewhat cheesy premise, but Your Name gets every bit of mileage from it and more.

Albeit a romantic drama, the movie does an excellent job at easing you in with the natural comedy of the situation. The protagonists' reactions are so lovely that they grew on me in no time.
Your Name's pacing does an excellent job at this - it gives the characters and (almost as prominent) sets enough time to fully develop, but also drives breathtaking action. Combined with the gorgeous soundtrack and brilliantly used nonlinear narration, it keeps both heart and mind engaged. The stunning visuals do the rest. And of course, at some point it will hit you right in the heart.

While some parts around the middle may appear a little contrived, and the mixing time lines can create some momentary confusion, the clarification and payoff always come in due time.

Your Name musters all the strengths of anime as a medium, and their makers expertise. Now, Tearjerkers like this will always have to justify themselves against accusations of being formulaic, as romance writers (especially in the anime industry) have all too much experience manipulating our emotions. But Your Name manages to always throw a little extra in there, and executes everything with breathtaking perfection. In a movie year where so many seemed to stumble even over the basics, it is good to see a movie that just does things so right. In a time where CGI has blurred the characters of Hollywood productions into one, it is fulfilling to see such wonderful art. Your Name was my movie of the year before I was even half way through, and only grew from there.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was beautiful, and romantically satisfying. Though I can't help but feel that the "evacuate the town" plot was somehow contrived, I didn't quite believe that it could happen, I was willing to go along to see everyone saved.… Expand

Subtle and nuanced, but with the emotional weight of a sledgehammer, "Your Name" hit me so hard so many times that I was tempted to award it a 10 right away. But then, I thought I should stop to consider the complaints surrounding the film,Subtle and nuanced, but with the emotional weight of a sledgehammer, "Your Name" hit me so hard so many times that I was tempted to award it a 10 right away. But then, I thought I should stop to consider the complaints surrounding the film, and how many of them I consider to be flaws. I was also surprised to read director Makoto Shinkai personally request people stop lauding the film with blind unconditional praise, explaining there was more their team could have achieved with more time and money. After considering these things, I'm inclined to agree with him, but that won't stop me from praising the film as it is; I can definitively say this is Shinkai's best film.
...
of little shock I'm sure is the premise of Your Name. It starts out as a sort of Teen Dramady with a body switching twist, which is quite a creative way to tell a love story I must say. Even without many scenes of the two protagonists together, you start to buy into their romance nonetheless, because when you consider they have been living each other's lives, you realize they must know about each other in ways no one else does. Eventually, they naturally decide to seek each other out, and it's here the film cleverly switches genre's. To spoil this first twist would be wrong, but it's the first of many times the film really hits you in the feels. From there, much more is at stake than the simple love story, yet Your Name manages to put equal emotional weight behind an impending tragedy and the protagonists' fear of losing their newfound connection.
...
The story is solid, but it does suffer from the short run time. At some points, the director even had to resort to montages over what would have been important character development; presumably to save money. The exposition in the film is quite substantial, and while much of it is necessary, I wish there was a way for some of it to have been relayed in a more organic way. If you don't have your wits about you while you watch this film, especially as a Westerner with limited understanding of Eastern Religious beliefs, (Shinto in this case,) you're not going to hear the things you'll need to understand the film's climax and resolution. In this way, the film makes your brain work harder than a typical cinematic outing.
...
As one final flaw, the male protagonist Taki felt quite underdeveloped compared to his female counterpart Mitsuha. He had few character defining traits shown, besides a moment where his short temper shocks classmates of the normally reserved Mitsuha. His relationship with his father in particular wasn't explored at all, when it should have been. We know some things about his interests and lifestyle, but again, little that could be considered character defining. We know far more about Mitsuha as most of the screentime is about her. A more balanced development would have been better.
...
With flaws out of the way, and there weren't many, I still fully recommend this film to anyone interested in Anime. Its strengths far outweigh its problems. The animation, for one, is immaculate. It really serves to compliment the story visually, even if that story isn't as fully developed as it could be. While the pop singles were somewhat distracting due to the vocals, the soundtrack as a whole is solid. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the movie as much as watching it. I mentioned the film is emotionally heavy. Well, it's hard to explain, but imagine that feeling of loss when you risk losing someone near to you, that feeling of familiarity even though you can't specifically remember someone or something, and that teenage impulse to escape from your boring secure life and live out something more exciting. Those are the feelings this film invokes, and does so quite well. To go into more detail would take too long, so please just trust me on this.
...
Also, unlike several of the director's previous films, Your Name has a satisfying ending. I was afraid we'd be left with another "5 cm per Second" kind of ending, but am glad to report the film ends conclusively. For me, it's complete as it is; I don't want a sequel. What I really wanted then, was more out of this film. It really needed another hour to develop the characters and story further, but Shinkai can hardly be blamed for this, considering he seems to feel the same, but ran out of time and money to do so. Well, if this is what he can accomplish in a mere hour and a half, I can't wait to see what he'll achieve if given the creative freedom a larger budget would allow. Definitely keep an eye out for more films by this director. 9/10… Expand
