Art: 10 Sound: 9 Character: 7 Enjoyment: 10 Overall: 9 I watched this film at Anime Expo 2016 Los Angeles. I'll try to keep my review as spoiler-less as possible. TL;DR: read more
Story: 10 Art: 10 Sound: 9 Character: 8 Enjoyment: 10 Overall: 10 Edit: I watched this at the World Premier in Los Angeles on July 3rd. It was released in Japanese theaters on August 26th. It is set to be streamed online (for north america) via funimation, hopefully within the next month or so. read more
Plot: An absolute mess. Without spoiling it, this movie fails to get into the main plot until roughly halfway through. Before that point, it views like a teenage slice of life; nothing to be disappointed by. After the halfway mark, the plot becomes incredibly contrived with no logic, reason, or thought put into its creation. There were at least 4 separate climaxes (which is inexcusable for any movie which is not Return of the King) and read more
Directed, Written, and Created by Makoto Shinkai "Your Name." is, in a word, a journey. A journey into what will surely be the future of cinematography, as well as a journey on a grand emotional roller coaster. Technically speaking, labeling this film a "masterpiece" is an insult by omission. Given that Shinkai is a master, anything he makes is obviously going to be a "masterpiece," but among silt there is gold, and among gold there may be diamonds. This movie is a diamond, easily the prettiest feature length film I've ever seen; more so than even fetishistic attempts to be just read more
To speak of names, one does not invoke Makoto Shinkai in conjunction with the phrase “happy ending.” To say that he has made his fame off producing romance anime is only half the story, as his work’s exploration of themes such as distance and unrequited love read more
As of writing this review, this film is currently the highest rated anime on this site and naturally I was curious to what all the fuss was about. While this movie has absolutely amazing visuals coupled with a fantastic musical score along with great directing by Makoto Shinkai, unfortunately, the script and characters, in my eyes, could have been a lot better. The narrative of this film centres around our two protagonists; Mitsuha, who lives in a rural part of Japan who is bored of her everyday life and wishes to live in Tokyo and Taki who, well...lives in Tokyo. There is literally read more
THE AUTHOR-Makoto Shinkai who is regarded as one of the finest director of recent time and with works likes "Hoshi no Koe" "GOW" "5CMPS" under his belt,there is no doubt about the caliber of this man. His majority of works relies mainly on the visual effect where each frame speak a word for itself,the tension he creates between the characters,the emotion he depicts with that and overall execution which even makes a simplest of the story somewhat extraordinary to watch. I really find myself fond of those and following Shinkai over the years,I realised that plot-based work is never his strong point read more
With that out of the way, assuming that since you're still reading, I assume you've already seen the movie or don't mind being spoiled. Either way, I just wanted to let you know the reason why I'm writing a review filled with spoilers. Basically, Kimi no Na wa isn't a movie read more
*Spoilers Alert* Story: 3/10 The first half of the movie is about typical high school boy living in Tokyo swapping body with a countryside girl with a boring-ass life dreaming to go to Tokyo someday. There's a bit of comedy here and there but nothing impressive so far and quite boring to be honest. But then comes the second half, it turned out the main heroine already read more
With so many people agreeing, that it's a masterpiece, it has to be good, right? Well turns out I didn't enjoy it quite as much the majority of MAL users. Plot: The story starts fair enough. Our main character suffers from "Disney princess syndrome"; she's not satisfied with the surroundings she was born in and wants to see the world, that is so much bigger than what she knows. Luckily for her, magical read more
Imagine the world’s most beautiful person. We take an X-ray of that person. You see his/her spine. And that’s it, no other bones. That is a Makoto Shinkai film. Every story has a skeletal structure, a beginning, middle, and end. We all know this. Makoto Shinkai films also have a structure to their story. Just that they’re all the same. Beginning: I love you. Middle: I can’t stay with you forever. End: I hope we see each other again. You may be asking: With such a basic structure, how can any of his films be so successful? It’s all about the flesh. read more
I had the necessity to write this after thinking about the movie for a while. Opinions are subjetive and if so many people like this so much and call it a masterpiece, good for them, but I just don't undestand why, or more like I don't want to, because I kinda have an idea and I would prefer if it wasn't true. In any case, I'm not gonna make this too long (I hope). I'll just go to the point. I enjoyed the first part. Not great, but alright. A typical body switch story that's been done many times before and pretty much the exact read more
When I was going into Kimi No Na Wa I was thinking that it was going to be the second coming of christ, (considering it read more
STORY 3 main flaws to be pointed out. 1) lack of direction. It's an issue before knowing what it wants to be, because it doesn't know it's supposed to be anything. Sit me down and make me take notes through a rewatch and I'd still have no idea what this film is about. Probably the intent is some contrived story about star-crossed lovers, an elaborate or posh love boundary, but you can apply "a love story, a mythological read more
Story: 9 Art: 10 Sound: 9 Character: 8 Enjoyment: 9 Overall: 9-9.5 Story: Going into this without knowing anything about the movie; not even the trailer, I was kind of confused from the first 10-20 minutes until it became clear what was going on with their bodies. Both the MC’s come from different backgrounds, girl from a village/ small town and boy from the big city of Tokyo. Without spoiling the movie entirely, the film takes a huge turn somewhere around the middle where it becomes more than just an animated Freaky Friday. Art: Even while watching this on medium-low quality I was amazed by how immersive read more
Kimi no Na wa is the new movie from acclaimed director Makoto Shinkai who’s behind 5 Centimeters per second, Hoshi no Koe and The Place Promised in Our Early Days. His new movie tells a story about a high school student Taki and a high school student Mitsuha suddenly swapping bodies but forgetting what they did during their swap after it ends, so they begin to communicate via diaries and messages left behind by the other person. The story of Kimi no Na Wa is simple. There are some themes but they are light. The movie however suffers from several plot holes and read more
Kimi no Na wa. is a movie about meaningless infatuation, sexual assault, breaking the UK's age of consent laws, and traveling through time by drinking spit. It continues the trend of every Makoto Shinkai movie being identical to the last; after all, it's a romance "drama" that fails to be dramatic in any way due to how unbelievably bland the main characters are. Except, this time Shinkai has spiced everything up by adding in sexual assault and a massive amount of plot holes, the latter resulting from the fact that he is too incompetent to write anything that isn't a generic high school read more |
