| A full year of waiting and I finally got to watch it. Great movie overall, definitely Shinkai's best work till date but surprisingly enough it's not really up there as one of my favorite movies of all time. Visually stunning as expected, animation and art were outstanding. Highest amount of praise to that. Mitsuha and Taki were both likable characters and the body swapping segments were easily the best parts of the movie if you ask me. It was interesting and really enjoyable watching both of them figure out their situations and make the most of the swapped bodies. The immersive feel of this movie comes from the visuals and outstanding attention to detail in every single little thing rather than the atmosphere itself. While this may by far be the movie's strongest achievement it does fall off slightly in terms of plot progression and development. The mystery/fantasy behind everything is just a plot device and left to speculation, I suppose since that was never the main theme of the movie, you can look over it especially since it was executed well enough. I guess what I really wanted from the movie was more emphasis on Taki and Mitsuha's unique relationship and a better portrayal of them developing feelings for each other. Post the body swapping segments, I didn't really feel as emotional as I was expecting to and the reason to which I can only speculate to be the above. Simply put, I just didn't get the emotional impact I wanted from a movie that was praised so highly for getting people emotional. Not that I didn't feel anything, just that you know I was expecting to cry and stuff. XD The scene with both of them meeting during Twilight was absolutely beautiful though, and was definitely one of the best parts of the movie. I'm glad Mitsuha was able to save everyone and I'm super glad that the both of them were able to meet at the end. The Soundtrack was excellent and I loved all the insert songs. If I had to put everything in a short sentence, Everything about the movie was really good but apart from the visuals, it isn't exactly amazing. However, the movie remains thoroughly enjoyable and perhaps that is why it succeeds as a movie. 8/10 |

| It was well worth the wait. I've got a mad screenshot collection here; there's so much going on in the movie. |
| BOOM HEADSHOT |
| Good movie,probably give it somewhere between a high 7 or a low 8. Think it's more deserving of a 7/10 but if I overlook some plot conveniences/potential plots holes would give this an 8/10. |

| Such a humongous hype but in the end I was kinda disappointed. Still a great movie though but far from the greatest anime ever made in my opinion. |
| After 6 months i get to watch this and although the experience was better in theaters its still great. Still a masterpiece, one of the greatest romance movies i ever watched. |
| I've waiting long for this movie and boy was it WORTH THE F*CKING WAIT! Really impressed by this movie, just completely amazed how this beautiful story with it's excellent art work and animation could impress me this much. Really loved it from start till end and it really was worth the wait for the Blu Ray Release! It's certainly been a while since I've been touched this much by an anime, really flabbergasted by how epic it was! I can now really see that it lived up for its expectations and quite worth the #1 spot! 10/10 for sure! |
 |
| The ending was supremely unsatisfying, but at least it didn't end before they met. It started out strong, but seems overrated to me. |

| Can't believe it's out, i've waited so much for this! I don't know how to express my emotions in this comment. It was beyond perfect, i don't need to say anything because this movie speaks for itself. That ending was amazing! The only "bad" thing is that they didn't show us more of them, i was expecting at least a hug or "i love you" xD Still, it was amazing to see them together <3 F***, i am so happy omg xD Definitely, a movie to watch and rewatch again and again. <3 10/10 <3  |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I waited for a year for this movie. Didn't read any review or anything. All I saw was 1 trailer. Then BAM, I saw 2 hours ago. HOLY SHIT, I have never seen anything quite like it before. It is so freaking good on so many level. |

Take that as you will yeah and i think its weird if someone is doing it. so i made fun of it. whats your problem again ? first of all. the more anime you watch the lower gets the percentage of 10s you have as the overall quality of anime drops that you watch. the 1000-1050s anime wont be as good as the 50-100s anime. so your argument isnt that accurate. second. i never said you give out 10s too easy. |

| definitely is not great movie as people said,but it's watchable. My problem is there major plothole. |
 |
| How to get to know, if the movie is really tha good? If you think about it for next few days after watching it, if you are trying to analyze it and understand it more and more, then it's a sign of pure greatness. It was epic. The last time when I experienced something like this was probably a Clannad. This is a truly masterpiece experience. Is it overrated? Hell no. But I'm rather shocked that so many people rated it so high. I guess that many of them didn't fully understand it either, but they rated it high only because of feels. Ps. No. There is no plot hole at all. Learn about Japanese culture, beliefs and traditions, then watch it again and then comment. |

| I just watched this movie 5 min ago, and i dont understand the hype at all. It was good, but it didnt blow me off my feet like Koe no Katachi did. I gave it a 8/10, and if it didnt have such beautiful visuals, i dont know if i would have given it such a high score. I even thought the first 20-30 min were kinda boring. Maybe because i saw Koe no Katachi yesterday and got spoiled? Maybe i overhyped it? Dunno, it was good, but hardly a masterpiece in my eyes. |

Why do all cringe weebs think nobody outside Japan has heard about thread of fate, shrines and other similar concepts? No, even disregarding all the mystic stuff the plot is still fucking dogshit. The characters are too obnoxious and stupid, and the whole thing is one huge pile of forced mess. I won't even ask you to give examples because so far nobody who said that ever dared to explain themselves. |

| It was pretty damn good. There were some clever moments of editing and absolutely gorgeous visuals. That being said I did have some issues with it, especially in the second half as there were some moments that required quite a bit of suspension of disbelief ( ). |
Take care of yourself |
| Getting to watch Kimi no Na wa was an anime experience like no other. Watching it break record after record and reaching #1 on MAL. Seeing it come to the states and for it to not have a screening anywhere near me. Doing my damnedest to go into it as blind as possible. Never listening to any of the OST, managing to avoid spoilers for a movie that everyone was talking about. Patiently waiting for the bluray release... Finally, finally after waiting all this time I got to see this fucking movie! 10/10 |

| Beautiful film, worth the wait. |
| I didn't plan replying to you anymore, but whatever. Aquamirror said: Do you even know what "elitist" means? Certainly not "someone who disagrees with me". Yes, people exactly like you And why they should? I'm never checking the date and calendars. I don't have a calendar at home. One more thing about schools. In my country we didn't write te date anywhere (notebooks, chalkboards, etc). The same goes to Japan. Oh, and they switched bodies. They woke up in totally different city, met totally new people, and went to totally new places. Checking the date or suspecting timeshift would be in this case the last thing to do. Huh? Did you even watch the movie? What you are talking about? Aquamirror said: > The love between the main characters is contrived and doesn't make sense.

It's very natural to notice something is off. You can't just live like that without even realising the events happening around you are from the past. It's enough to look calendars, magazines, tv news.. even your own phone. It took them way too much time to understand the gap. And what they did? They exchanged some cringe teen shit. As far as I remember, they needed a photo or some shit to search the place, asking people around. Comet falling and evaporating a village is world news worthy, it was too big of a hussle to find that place. rsc-pl said: Aquamirror said: > The love between the main characters is contrived and doesn't make sense.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. It doesn't matter if you know about it, when you don't understand it. It could have been used in a lot better ways. That was just too convinient, it just didn't work properly for the way the story was structured to be a romance. Traveling across universes because you were faithed with someone else just don't do it. The mechanics were never actually explained properly and everything relies too much on mythology to makes excuses. Quite subjective, but it was way too easy and unrealistic. I felt the story tried to stay at least grounded to reality but that was too off and forced. "Hey guys did you know that comet is gonna fall here?" YEP WE TOTALLY BELIEVE IT lets gtfo quick. And some kid uses the system to announce the evacuation while the governing guys run around doing nothing. And the characters were just too bland. Hardly anything memorable happened in that movie and the ending was just boring. They met HEY! Ok....? gropy grope |

I don't read newspapers, I don't watch tv, and as I mentioned, I don't have any calendars at home, and about phone - yeah, I can see the date, but not a year. It's definitely possible setting. Aquamirror said: As far as I remember, they needed a photo or some shit to search the place, asking people around. Comet falling and evaporating a village is world news worthy, it was too big of a hussle to find that place. He lost his memories, he felt a spiritual connection with her, but nothing else. He didn't even know where the place (from his drawings) is exactly placed. And it wasn't a photo, but his sketch. They finally arrived in small family restaurant, and the owners recognized what he drawn (and yeah, they couldn't believe that he drawn it without knowing that place). The whole story is deeply based on this legend (and not only this). You can even see it in first minutes of this movie. Aquamirror said: Quite subjective, but it was way too easy and unrealistic.

If you have a true friends, they will believe you, because they know that they can truly trust you, even if it is something totally unrealistic. And this is exactly what Shinkai wanted to show. He wanted to show in this part of move what a true friendship means. |

Yeah, of course they will forget exactly the most obvious thing just so conveniently. They were moving all around school, work, etc. There's no fucking way to not notice the year is off. Even old information/news are bound to reach you and to realise it's OLD. 3 years is pretty big time to change a lot of things.

| Great movie.......I knew I had to watch it in highest quality BD. Great visuals but music/OST were lackluster even comparing with Kotonoha no Niwa and 5cm/s. Anyway, Taki didn't got the job but reunited with Mitsuha, was afraid of them not even meeting/remembering each other. Also, drinking that spit-sake....ewww |
| te] i have to wait.... |
| the plot was weak and predictable as fuck generous 6/10 for the art and animation |
 |
| I can really see why this gets so much praise and has amassed such critical success. I really enjoyed this movie, and I'm glad as fuck it had a happy ending. Easy 10/10 and beyond from me, it really moved me. |
| I watched this yesterday, and I do not understand why it is rated too high. It was not that good, and I did not find anything special about it |

| Best part of the film was attention to detail. There were some great transition scene cuts, extra details in the background, music cues, etc. Its a great movie, it lived up to the hype but I believe that there are better movies out there. Tessie shoulda NTR'd Mitsuha. That would be 10/10 ending would bang again. |

Not really. They're more overwhelmed by the whole body swapping and the life of the others. They didn't expect that the year was also off. pr0wnage said: I think there is a plot hole with the date being different. You would definitely notice, especially if you were using technology as much as these teens. It may seem like a nitpick but if you have the balls to make ANOTHER fucking time travel drama then you better make sure everything is perfect. Not just that, but a lot of things are just too convenient to make the plot work. How the mayor conveniently changes his mind at the last minute. How they pretty much remember everything until it's convenient to forget it. and the phone just conveniently deletes its memory... why would that happen? It's easy to say SHINTO GOD DID IT but man, what a cop-out. It's almost as if Musubi is Shinkai himself since every point in the plot revolves around this magic force. Bet you didn't find it convenient when Fate Zero took Alexander the Great to the present time and made him a Japanese speaker somehow even though he probably never once met a Japanese in his whole life. |

Everything is explainable. Just because the characters didn't act the way you want to doesn't mean it's a plot hole. The only fact around here is you have no good argument for your claim. |

The disappearing text, explain it pls. He's just an average high school student. Not once he is shown as an exceptionally brilliant person. Imagine one of your schoolmate. Yeah, Taki is like him. Seriously you're asking about that? They're "connected" by a red string of fate or called musubi in the series. Thus, they must meet at all cost. The problem is, Mitsuha was dead. They couldn't meet anymore and so the body swapping happened. Taki was sent back to 3 years ago when Mitsuha was still alive and Mitsuha was sent the other way. But then that meteor thing happened and Mitsuha died. From then on, their connection shattered. The body swapping thing seemed like a dream. Everything about Mitsuha disappeared from his mind: her name and the conversation with her. Seriously you're asking about this? Says a lot. |
