Kimi no Na wa. (Your Name.)

Mitsuha Miyamizu, a high school girl, yearns to live the life of a boy in the bustling city of Tokyo—a dream that stands in stark contrast to her present life in the countryside. Meanwhile in the city, Taki Tachibana lives a busy life as a high school student while juggling his part-time job and hopes for a future in architecture.

One day, Mitsuha awakens in a room that is not her own and suddenly finds herself living the dream life in Tokyo—but in Taki's body! Elsewhere, Taki finds himself living Mitsuha's life in the humble countryside. In pursuit of an answer to this strange phenomenon, they begin to search for one another.

Kimi no Na wa. revolves around Mitsuha and Taki's actions, which begin to have a dramatic impact on each other's lives, weaving them into a fabric held together by fate and circumstance.

We have seen the concept of changing bodies in different movies and in different ways, here we see it in a much more different way than usual with a little love to spice up the whole movie and with a plot twist that will surprise you a lot, I loved this film for different reasons and one of these was the animation, the animation of the film is beautiful, the settings, the characters, the lighting, etc. All this is created in a way that all this looked so beautiful that you fall in love with the movie.
Now we go with the story that is quite ... good, we start with what is a common body change story to show us there a love story that you will love, with many mysteries that will be solved after the course of the story.
I know that with what has been said before it can be seen that everything is honey and flakes but it is not like that, something that really annoyed me a bit is the love in the film for the simple fact that I did not believe that by changing bodies our protagonists they would fall in love with each other, besides there are things that are very convenient in the plot of these two boys that you will understand me if you have already seen the movie, I will give you a clue and it is the word: Sake.
It's a great movie that I think even if you don't like anime you'll still love it, highly recommended, a must if you like stories of romance and body swapping.

El concepto de cambio de cuerpos lo hemos visto en diferentes películas y de diferentes formas, aquí lo vemos de una forma bastante mas diferente a lo habitual con un poco de amor para aderezar toda la película y con un giro de trama que te sorprenderá muchísimo, esta película me encanto por diferentes motivos y uno de estos fue la animación, la animación de la película es hermosa, los escenarios, los personajes, la iluminación, etcétera. Todo esto es creado de forma en que se veía todo esto tan hermoso que te enamora por la vista la película.
Ahora vamos con la historia que es bastante buena, empezamos con lo que es una historia de cambio de cuerpo común para mostrarnos ahí una historia de amor que te encantara, con muchos misterios que se irán resolviendo tras el transcurso de la historia.
Se que con lo dicho anteriormente se ve que todo es miel sobre hojuelas pero no es así, algo que en verdad me fastidio un poco es el amor en la película por el simple hecho que yo no me creía que por cambiar de cuerpo nuestros protagonistas se irían enamorando el uno al otro ademas de que hay cosas que son muy convenientes en la trama de estos dos chicos que me entenderán si ya vieron la película, les daré una pista y es la palabra: Sake.
Es una gran película que creo que aunque no te guste el anime te va a encantar aun así, super recomendada, imperdible si te gustan las historias de romance y cambio de cuerpos.

Mixed Feelings

Expectation: 9.5
Reality: 5

After seeing many Makoto Shinkai works, this one didn't hit as hard. Character lacked depth and thr story felt bland. Of course animation was amazing, as you would expect, but the film was underwhelming at best.

The plot was pretty predictable and due to the nature of the phenomenom in the film, the romance was not as good as his other works. For the hype this had built up by the time I watched it, it really disappointed me to see the same-old plotline we've seen in every other one of his films. The ending was done well I must admit and combined ...

Funny

my opinion on “kimi no na wa” „your name”
i wont be making statements on what exactly happened in the
anime, as that would spoil everything.

watching this was like watching paint dry.

i watched this with my friend, but let me get to the point.

- to be honest people might hate me for this, but this anime was very bad.
