| The plot has its flaws but overall it was enjoyable. I'm happy they at least met at the end. |

| I LOVE IT!!God bless to whoever uploaded this seriously I really taught we are going to see THIS movie months down the track or just a crappy cam.Now waiting for Silent Voice eta unknown. |
| BEST. MOVIE. EVER. I literally cried from the mountain scene when Taki and Mitsuha met, up until the very end. The whole film was one big emotional rollercoaster. The end in my opinion was perfect. Unlike the ending of 5 cm per second, which left a bitter taste in my mouth, this time the MC finally decided to show courage an speak out. (my God I was going to lose my shit if he just left her there, saying nothing :D) Needless to say that the OST was absolutely astonishing! I give it a score 100/10! :D |

| Wow. That was so well done. However, if it ended llike 5 centimeter, i was gonna kill my self. i needed the last interaction so bad. |

Lunoire said: i am in tears this was honestly one of the most beautiful films i have ever seen, i laughed, i cried, my heart broke in half.. i cried tears of joy for their happy ending the animation was absolutely gorgeous, the score was fantastic... this is oscar worthy ^this. I felt exactly like you, damn this movie was perfect on it's own. That "I love you" message, I saw it coming and yet, it still sent me on the feeltrain. I can't even sum up what I liked most, it was just so good ._. |
| This is one of the best movies i've ever seen n my life, if not the best. For me saying that, there's a lot to be said. There were notable continuity problems and scientific fallacies, which normally would bother me, but this work was such a touching story, that i don't even care. ----- It's unfortunate that the premise of the story was all misapplied. The first problem was the time stuff. Besides the fact that you can't violate continuum with time travel, let alone change history, i usually let that slide as it's always a very interesting tool to use in fiction. In story context there was a lot of staggered back and forthing, and there was also ambiguous transition points where it went from all died to all survived to them being out of sync to them syncing (outside of the underworld area). Lots of perfectly timed things to yank on your heart strings as you go along too. The flaw in the premise is the comet. Setting aside improbabilities of the comet fragment path hitting where it did - fiction is allowed to override probability. However, the comet piece, in the movie, fell through the clouds, very much not bright mind you, and hit the ground like an orbital cannon or something. Nothing natural that enters the atmosphere does this. A meteor or comet piece does not ever hit the ground still intact. They either burn up just below the ionosphere due to energy input from proximity to the planet overthrowing it's capacitance, resulting in sublimation to plasma. The alternative is that it detonates in mid-air because the input charge exceeded the rate of inductive discharge, and destabilizes the structure of the meteor, causing it to explode (and only the fragments make it to the ground). While the plasma sublimation is happening, it's no mere flame. Look up the Chelyabinsk meteor. There are many other accounts across history of these events, and they are blindingly bright and blow up in mid-air. When i say detonate or blow up, i mean nuclear scale explosion. You could get a single projectile to reach the surface intact, but it would need to be intentionally insulated; meteors are not. (At least they didn't say the comet was ice, because it's obviously not: see data on 'deep impact' and 'rosetta'.) ----- Ps: neither of them were able to read dates apparently, or recognize an unusual date even . . . . . . . . . All of that said, it is still an emotional masterpiece. |

9spaceking said: stupidly overrated. It's only worth 8/10 a best. Plot has so many plot holes that even beautiful art doesn't really cover it. yes, definitely an overrated show. |
I may say its score is between 8 and 9, but MAL doesnt have a decimal score. hence, I choose 9 (may be for the hype) and probably change. I can say this show is even not as good as Laputa, which I give 9, or Kiki delivery service, which I rate high 8, for in the same category: a movie. |

Ulio said: Shinka Makoto's movies all have similar plots about forgotten/lost love but this one was a bit more interesting because of the body switching part at the start. Atleast he didn't make the ending super sad like he usually does. I would have liked them to say each others names at least but he didn't give us that lol. X2 on those thoughts! I am a sucker for his movies and ride the feel train the whole time. This time, the train stopped at a nice station. Great art.....liked the body switching (and the funny boob fondling in the mornings) and his wonderful tugs at my heart. 10/10 for me. |
 |
| My favorite movie so far. Never had so many feelings watching a movie, I smilied, cried, laughed and was at edge of my seat the whole time. The visuals are gorgeous even in 360p, lol. The ending was heartwarming and I'm really glad it is a happy ending, I probably would punch my monitor if it was a sad one. Tbh, I probably would watch an entire slife-of-life series just for see those two screwing everything with that body swap. Need some extra scenes with blu ray release. ): 10/10. |
 |
| I'm keeping this movie for about 1 week, now I just realized that I'm the biggest fool for not to watch it sooner... The Director really put so much effort in this series tho! #Respect |
 |
| Absolutely phenomenal |
| Unfortunately I was scratching my head throughout the second half wondering why the hell they would forget each other so many times throughout the movie that these moments just felt like plot contrivances in order to generate drama and the sad feels. Totally took me out of the immersion the film had me in the first half with the great comedy and character interactions. And the whole "did you even get the theme" argument, if you can even call it one, someone please explain how it's relevant and how the execution is any different from other shows that try to "defy destiny"? If it weren't for the visuals I'd have scored it lower, but I'm going to give it a 6/10. This movie wasn't for me. |

| Doesn't matter if the ending's predictable, or that the characters haven't been explored much as some critics say. The anime is sensational. Still can't get over it. 12/10 |
| I heard the movie is so success, It gained 10 billion yen or something .. Even Makoto-sensei didn't see that coming. http://jurnalotaku.com/2016/09/21/makoto-shinkai-keuntungan-box-office-sebesar-10-milyar-yen-itu-menyeramkan/?utm_content=buffere3e37&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer *Not English |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| What a fantastic anime. Havn't felt this way sine anohana, steins gate and angel beats. |
| Beautiful, captivating, emotionally-gripping story and art. And, very well executed movie. The ending is simple beautiful. At first I have a mix feeling with the ending, but looking more through it, I guess it's realistic and satisfying, and that's well thought execution IMHO. |
| Absolutely stunning, amazing... in a way it picks up where Byosoku 5cm did not... the ED of that movie is echoed in lines and the OST of this one. In Byosoku 5cm they did not get their One More Chance, One More Time... but in this incredible film, they did and I'm so happy that they did. Most of Shinkai's movies end up unrequited other than Promises perhaps so I'm glad this one took it that extra step. Can't wait to read Another Side: Earthbound to see if there is more. A perfect 10/10 or 1000/10 or 1000000/10. I may need to downgrade most of the other items on my list. The animation, the music, the voice acting, the story... At this moment in my life I can't say I've ever seen anything better. I need to think and reflect for a while because I may just be biased since I just saw it but... OMG.... I really can't think of any film animated or otherwise, Japanese or Hollywood or otherwise that has affected me more. I may come back and change that but the feeling right now is that it's the best film I've ever seen. Tears of sadness and joy, hope, it was literally a rollercoaster of emotions, I was literally gasping at points, holding my breath. Yes, yes, please, please... yes, he did, he finally did. This deserves all the money it's raked in and all the accolades it has received and will receive. Anyone who says this is worse than something like the shows rated higher than it here on MAL... well, they obviously haven't seen this movie is all I can say. I truly thought my heart might burst while watching this. I only prayed I would live at least until the end of it. Incredible. |
| 11/10 best shinkai movie i've watched |

The whole memory thing is a lot like Steins;Gate; as people in different worldlines get separated from each other their memories of alternate worldlines fade or get erased. |

TheKillerAngel said: The whole memory thing is a lot like Steins;Gate; as people in different worldlines get separated from each other their memories of alternate worldlines fade or get erased. Sure, but in Steins;Gate at least they attempt to explain the phenomenon via the different worldlines you mentioned here. However, the explanation the show uses for the events that happen and for purposes of the show is fictional. Using another fictional work to explain a phenomenon in a different series doesn't hold up, especially since Kimi no na Wa makes no mention of the alternate timelines at all. It'd be like a viewer explaining why in the last episode of Charlotte where Yuu's brother somehow conveniently finds Yuu in time makes sense is because of that one thing in Bleach where people actually have spiritual energy and you can find people based off of their traces, even though Charlotte never mentioned anything about spirits or what not. Maybe irrelevant, but I think if Steins;Gate didn't exist you probably wouldn't have been able to come up with that conclusion on your own unless you were really interested in quantum mechanics and looked up the many-worlds theory. |

That was just an example. It's kind of hard to explain since it's been nearly 4 months since I last saw the film, but it has something to do with fate/destiny separating them/erasing their existence from each other and them overcoming the causality of the universe to be together. If you want something like a neat scientific explanation, you won't get one because that has never really been the intent of the filmmaker, who was mostly interested in telling a story that explores the meaning of an abstract Shinto concept/Japanese phrase. Maybe irrelevant, but I think if Steins;Gate didn't exist you probably wouldn't have been able to come up with that conclusion on your own unless you were really interested in quantum mechanics and looked up the many-worlds theory. I've read a bit about that already, so maybe I would have, but going back to the original film I felt that fate/destiny were working against Taki and Mitsuha was self-evident when I watched it. |

Yeah I figured science wasn't what Shinkai was going for at all, but it felt like fate/destiny just acted whenever it was convenient for the plot rather than it just happening organically which was my biggest problem for the film. The drama that resulted from fate's actions seemed forced as a result, so when the leads were able to meet again it seemed more that fate/destiny didn't care anymore rather than the two managing to overcome fate themselves. |

| Watched this yesterday with my friend! I loved it! I enjoyed the story, characters, art, music, everything... This is my kind of thing! Something I will definitely rewatch in the future. This was a very pleasant surprise. =D 8) |

| The movie was just a great time to watch, it made me laugh, made me cry, made me think, made me feel sympathy...... and above all else it made me satisfied. I could not ask for anything else, maybe a little bit of it, and a little more. It deserves every praise it could get, every money. The plot and the characters may be its weakpoint , but hey if we focus too much on scoring whats wrong and whats right, we would miss the opportunity of just "enjoying every part of it". I dont care if others score it 7 , 8 , 9 or 10. Will it go top 10 or not. Its just a great experience overall, and just shows the effort the creators put through. |

| Outstanding film from Shinkai. It complements 5cm Per Second quite well, the more I think about it. He's taken what's really a simple love story but elevated it to something greater. |

I'll 100% per cent buy the blu-ray to support it, but it has no chance of screening where I live. Would if I get the chance though! |
|
| it was definitely good... but an open ending was still left you hanging you know.... |
 |
| 3 words: I loved it. |
| Glad it's wasn't your typical Shinkai ending, I would have abhorred that so much. |
 |
| It was AWESOME! Emotional roller-coaster!!! I am out of words for this for now, but I am very happy I watched this!!! Thx to everyone who voted this 10, because I wouldn't know about this anime so fast if I didn't see this ranked first on MAL :) I would see this at some time probably anyway but..:) I'll try to put some words soon, but for now I just say 11/10 ! |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
