Kimi no Na wa.

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.

This is my first anime movie. when I first watched this anime, I felt all emotions mixed in my mind. I think Makoto Shinkai's work can always provide very beautiful works.

Plots
I think the plot of this anime is very good. In the first few minutes, we are presented with a character introduction which is explained in great detail. then in the middle to the final minutes, we are presented with a plot that explains what really happened. It can be said that there are almost no bad plots, so I give the plot a score of 10/10

Character
The character design and character introduction are depicted ... in great detail. almost all the characters are described in such detail that I give it a 9/10

Music
There's no need to argue anymore, the song sung by Radwimps is very easy to remember, besides that the instrumental they sung is very nice to listen to so I give it a score of 10/10

Enjoyment
I recommend to people who haven't watched anime before, to watch this anime as a start for you. Even though the plot of this anime is difficult to digest, I am sure that you will enjoy this anime. Apart from that, this anime shows a few scenes that are quite "vulgar" so it may not be suitable for viewing by certain ages. so I recommend this anime to you.
I will give a rate of 10/10

Conclusion
I think this is one of the best anime because this anime can mix all our feelings. We seem to be taken on a roller coaster that brings our emotions up and down all the time. I can feel emotions: happiness, sadness, loss, surprise, emotion, confusion, anger, and so on.
Overall I give a score of 10/10 for this anime

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 ... with a good score, it pulled the right strings at the right time. However, this wasn't enough to carry the rest of the film.

Garden of words has much better character writing and challenges Your Name for animation quality.

This is just The Lake House but animated, and instead of a mailbox, they body-swap. If you can watch this without thinking it's a 1-1 facelift of The Lake House, congratulations, you're delusional. There are way too many similarities, practically all of them, to believe that Shinkai had not seen The Lake House before making this atrocity. They even have a train scene where he tries to meet her. Ironically, the only part I enjoyed- the body-swapping- is the only part that is different. Well, aside from the sudden amnesia subplot in the last half-hour, because Shinkai felt he needed further justification for the title, ... which he didn't, that puts the last nails of the plot into the coffin.

Your Name also marks the first time Shinkai officially sold out to teen consumer culture by departing from his usual, good adult contemporary stories. It's one of the shallowest, easiest crowds you can sell out to, as seen by this awful, copy-pasted plot. I actually enjoyed 5 Cm for its realism in an industry bombastically oversaturated with wish fulfillment, and this takes an axe to that. Even his prior fantasy works could not be considered wish fulfillment. Children who Chase Lost Voices is currently my favorite of his works (I still need to see his old OVAs). It has some distinct themes about coping with death, but mostly it's just pure fun, something Your Name forgets to have because it was too busy checking off a marketing list for teens.

Sure, this movie looks great, but why watch a bad movie that looks good when Ghibli is a studio?
