| The movie would be more enjoyable for me if the whole "dream" thing was done better. I mean, I just don't find how some of that stuff happened. Why didn't they try to phone each other before? Sending live messages? Why only putting your "resume" of the day on a text notes? Obviously they only tried to call each other when "shit happened". And we have one or two parts where the characters suddenly wake up from the "dream"... abruptely. For me it seems there wasn't much effort to make this "change" thing believable. Another HUGE problem was the lack of romance. Where did this love thing come from? Like one person above said, the whole "romance" feeling they have is from that short montage where they show some kind of interaction between them. After that, their "love" is treated like a common place, something obvious (which is not by the lack of real, engaging romance between them). What I mean, then, is that the anime fails at the two most important aspects it has. There are some redeeming qualities (like music, art, VAs etc.), but overall it lacks what really is important for a movie that tries to convey this certain idea. 5/10. |

| Nice visuals and music, but the story and characters failed to grab me. |
| This flick was OK. The only top tier in this film are the visuals and character designs. Dont get me started on its """"story""""" |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |

Oh well, let's grab some boobs! The rating reflects the good old "It seemed sad, I must give it 10/10" attitude of MAL community. |

Wintovisky said: Another HUGE problem was the lack of romance. Where did this love thing come from? I saw it as coming from them living each other's lives, thus feeling a somewhat strong connection with each other, especially from Taki (who's the one who communicated love in the first place), as he discovered that the person whose life he had been living and who he had felt connected to perished in the impact. And let's not forget the theme of 'musubi,' along with the red string imagery. They were connected on such a level that love was inevitable. Definitely not the most typical brand of romance. |
  |
| This was definitely one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen The ending was so fucking satisfying, my emotions were KILLING me leading up to it lol Solid 9/10 |
| Usually Makoto Shinkai's films leave me feeling empty along with every other emotion in the book but after all the tears I won't have that aching pit in my stomach for weeks. Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait for the funimation one to hit theaters and the blu ray. 10/10 (wish I saw it in 1080 KA's 720p is weak) |
 |
| Well, i can definitely say that this completely lived up to all the hype, while i dont see this staying number one for a while, i do hope it will be able to stay in the top 10 as this was simply breathtaking and amazing! |
| If they made the movie a little longer run time it would great, but I still enjoyed it. |
| Just watched the movie, it is kind of "warm our hearts" story, you guys do not need to worry about the ending. |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| Why does an animated movie wring my heart so? :') Great movie. :) |

| DAT SCENE THOUGH, THE BEST PART XD |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| I've just finished reading its novel! It is also very nice! I think I will go to theater again because I think I can enjoy more after reading it! |
| holly shit, 9,38 :D Ill wait for bds |

He's using the phone everyday writing journal and you said he didn't notice the date? You serious? Hahahahaha what a brain dead. Doesn't seem like you even have idea what's going on in the movie. The typical "Look I give 6/10 while everyone gives 8-10/10. Look I'm such a hipster" attitude of MAL community. |

Doesn't seem like you even have idea what's going on in the movie. So why does he seem so surprised when he find out she's from the past and already dead? And if you'll go through my list, you might notice I gave big score to a lot of "mainstream" anime, so I wouldn't exactly call myself a hipster. "Not part of Makoto hype train" would be more accurate. |
| You all need to watch Nami. |
| I remember seeing the preview for this back in December 2015 and thought to myself "How can I wait 8-9 months to watch this!?" (Oh how time flies) Now that I have I can say it was the best anime Movie I have seen to date. 10/10 |
  |
| Well that was...beautiful |

| The only way to find your true love, 35 year old Japanese virgin, is through completely un-explainable magical anomalies. 10/10, muh kokoro couldn't handle this desu... |

| That was a really good shit. Though whether its deserve 10 or not is debatable. |
| Theres a decent quality of the movie of Kissanime, but boy even though i watched it there I would buy the BluRay just to give a hats-off to the director. Btw guys, maybe I'm just looking to deep into it, but what is the "message" that makoto shinkai is trying to tell us here? Yeah a wonderful story and all, but i cant seem to grasp the meaning behind it. |

I haven't watched the movie yet (waiting for bd release), but I've heard that the context has something to do with an earthquake in 2011 japan. |
| This movie makes me confused at first but in the end i love it <3 10/10 |

| I'm really glad that we had a kind of happy ending although I feel like there's some curiosity left |

| A movie by Makoto Shinkai that actually had a happy ending, is the world ending? I was reluctant to watch this at first because Makoto Shinkai is notorious for his bittersweet/open-ended endings but this actually satisfied me a lot. I gave it A 9 but I couldn't exactly say it deserved the #1 in MAL. Well new anime release tend to have inflated scores anyways. The score will probably drop a little later. Their story reminded me a little about a love story of two side characters in the anime The book of bantorra where the girl is from hundred of years ago. The boy got hold of the girl's book of life which contains her memories and she got to know him because of her powers to see the future and they "communicate" throught that. Back to this movie, Im really glad they were able to meet up again. My face was so close to screen praying they meet each other again. Good job Makoto Shinkai. |

| The landfall of that meteoroid was truly spectacular. cannot wait for the blurays for this. add it to my collection of all his other movies on bluray. Shinkai is by far the best anime movie director in japan right now bar none. |
 |
| I can only laugh at you folks for watching a Shinkai movie in 480p. smh. |
 |
| been waiting for half a year :D I couldn´t resist watching it been waiting for more than half a year :D I couldn´t resist watching it |
         |
| 10/10 easily for me, probably one of the best anime movies I have seen. Right up their with KNK Movie 5/7. This is 5cm when done right and the story was great too. Side characters while not the main focus still added personality to the movie. That ending though, fucking genius. If they would of have passed each other without saying anything...well they didn't so lets leave it at that. Hopefully this gets in a theater near me when Funi decides to release it. Probably gonna buy this day one, also no dub please. I don't think this movie would sound good dubbed UNLESS they get really great VA's and not the typical Funi VA's. I consider the Oscar's a joke but it would be really nice to see this film win it because it definitely deserves it. |
 |
yeh even the ppl who ripped/subbed it tell me not to watch. nah man im waiting for 1080p bd rips |
| Thought it was quite good, but the conclusion was pretty predictable. The story was well thought out and executed but I felt it didn't exceed my expectations like I thought it would. Rather it reminded me of 5 centimetres per second with a "good end" and the end of Tamako Love Story. Kimi no na wa. didn't reinvent the wheel (which I thought it would), it just made a damn good tire. The HYPE was REAL but it doesn't mean Kimi no na wa. is a terrible movie. I would just say it is on par with the rest of Makoto Shinkai's works but definitely (at the time of this post) doesn't deserve the highest rating (9.38) on M.A.L. |
 |
| The BEST MOVIE OF THE CENTURY! Its 10 out of 10!! THIS MADE ME CRY! |
| Finally a happy ending .. I thought another 5cm this time its 10/10cm.. Im satisfied I can catch some comet anytime.. |
