This is the first review I've ever written, mostly because I've never really felt the need to review a movie before I saw this. This movie is the most spectacular work of art I've ever seen, and probably will ever see in my entire life. Never have I ever seen or read anything that made me feel the characters' pain, and joy, and frustration like this. This movie (and saying that this is simply a "movie" feels like I'm comparing the Mona Lisa to a toddler's fingerpainting) made me feel so much raw emotion that I was literally shaking (and occasionally crying) throughout every amazing second of it. The ending definitely leaves you wanting more, begging for even just an extra five minutes of the wonderful story. I wish that there could be more movies like this.
... View MoreThe first time I watched the film I didn't know what I was expecting, and I'm so glad that I had no expectations. From the story to the animation/cinematography, Your Name did not disappoint me for a single second of the story that unfolded in front of me. It felt that every word and character mattered in this movie, there were no puzzle pieces that didn't fit. As I was watching, I felt a connection to each character, feeling what they were feeling. Not many movies can accomplish sympathy for each character. But Makoto Shinkai (Director) was able to captivate me as a viewer and as a person. There is no reason not to watch this film, and if you haven't I strongly advise you do. It might just change your perspective.
... View MoreI usually don't rate movies they are so common. But this movie is awesome. One of the best movies I have ever watched..It is perfect combination of romance, emotion, science, spiritual ... every thing. I never thought love could break the space time continuum.. also I found the dubbed version in hindi language by animetmdubbers, they really made it. Thanks producers and dubbers, you made my day
... View MoreI have to say this anime was absouletely breathtaking like the fact its set in an actual Japan town, makes this anime a whole lot nicer! I thought both Mitsuha and Taki were such interesting characters like it was bizzare that the pair of them were swapping bodies. Yet we still don't know why they were chosen and I mean thanks to Taki, he saved Mitsuhas life for being in her body and alerting everyone that the town is having a meteor attack. Although I felt sorry for him for not getting through to her self absorbed mayor of a father and then him turning off the alarms. Seriously he's a pure jack*ss in this anime lol!However the music, the relationship between Taki & Mitsuha and the specular views of the village made this anime worth watching for! I give it a 8/10!
