You know the drill, a balanced experience often means it gets nothing to truly shine.

This is a full package for a shounen audience, and it delivers everything with a top-notch animation and amazingly beautiful scenery. There is a bit of romance, some funny scenes, a thrilling sequence, and a nice twist of events that bumps the experience. Taki is that guy you see in every mahou shounen around and Mitsuha is your typical shounen-setting girl.Īlthough taking your everyday cliches and tropes seems like a terrible fault, here it manages to bring some balance to the overly thoughtful tales common to Shinkai Makoto.

This ordinary feeling, as if mimicking TV series of school boys and girls, gets even more powerful when the character design offers the most default protagonists you can imagine. This is perhaps Shinkai Makoto's most teenage-oriented work to date, starting from the classical gender-swapping comedy, going through default schoolmate talk, and even dipping into a thriller sequence that forgets all the melancholy of the tale for a while. Your Name, however, suffers from its setting though. There is also the classical syndromes of the melancholic country-girl who wants to go to a big city and a city boy overwhelmed by a busy life, with little time to think and truly live. The distance in space and time, a bond where the two lovers cannot easily get to one another, the atmosphere of melancholy overflowing in this invisible relationship. Their dreams, or so they think, puts them in the body of one another from time to time, and in swapping their routines they start to forge an invisible bond, one that is shrouded by a mysterious reason and a lot of weird conveniences. This is the story of Mitsuha and Taki, two teenagers living in rural and urban Japan respectively.

Most of his works are quite heavy when questioning relationships with difficult or impassable bridges and this movie here is no different. Makoto's movies and animations are always centered upon the concept of distance, both physical and temporal. Your Name is a tale from Shinkai Makoto, one of the modern gurus attempting to take the legacy of Hayao Miyazaki. Does it live up to all the boom? Let's talk about it. The question that lingers is how good Your Name truly is. We, however, are talking about an industry moved by insane local hyping and overseas fans with questionable inclination to worship the popular.


The momentum was tremendous and the financial success is unquestionable. It blasted away in local box office, giving a kiss in the butt of many classic record-holders from famed Studio Ghibli. Kimi no na wa (Your Name) took the japanese industry by storm. I found this movie to be highly overrated and do not get why people praise this movie so highly. But the writing and the directing just wasn't my cup of tea. The only solid thing about this movie was the animation and the voice acting, they were pretty lovely. I guess he was the only relatively interesting character out of this bunch. The characters can be rude and Mitsuha was also cloying. It had a fairly interesting story because I like stories that focus on two characters with two different plots and I like the whole switching bodies thing but I just couldn't find myself relating to any of the characters. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I was still pretty disappointed. Now, I do not like complex, intense coming-of-age stories like this so I was worried I wouldn't like it but I decided to try it since a lot of people thought it was excellent but I didn't know it would be a coming-of-age story. A girl and a boy is constantly switching bodies and I couldn't tell if the girl was herself or if she was the boy in her body. I just couldn't understand what was going on in this movie. t was so complex and fast that I couldn't follow it. While I was watching this movie, I kept wondering what in the world I was watching.
