| Here's something cool: exploring the location of Taki's apartment in Google Maps. |

5layer said: Everything is too convenient and characters react unrealistically to their situation for the sake of making this movie work the way that it did. A bit too much suspension of disbelief needed for this one. Also got kind of dull towards the end. That said, I really liked the part after Taki tripped in the cave. Definitely the highlight of the movie. Despite the awful writing, I actually still enjoyed it. Not bad. In a movie where people are swapping bodies from past to future, thats your gripe? Are u serious? Listen to yourself before you type |

| I finally watched it. It definitly was an enjoyable watch however ... i hate to say it but, personally, i feel like its pretty damn overrated with all the hype and the praise it got. But like i said, its not a bad movie tho. 7/10, 6/10 if it wasnt for dat art/animation. |

FinalSquall said: @5Layer Completely unrelated, but I think the same can be said for G-Senjou no Maou at times which, looking at your sig/pic you are a fan of. I think it's fairly obvious that I have a high tolerance for bad writing if there are other merits to a work that outweigh it. |
|
| Rewatched it in the cinemas today, such a beautiful movie story/art wise. |
  |
| Wow. I was against it going in due to the insane amount of hype - but it lived up. I watched it on a small United Airlines screen of all things, and it was still outstanding. Need to see Shinkai's other stuff now! |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Wonderful film, with stunning animation, and overall a good story. I'm glad I finally got around to watching it. |
 |
| It was beautiful, 9/10 from me. chiyo-german said: Yukino Yukari-sensei (from Kotonoha no Niwa) teaches Mitsuha's class now. Wait, what? WHAT? |

| Better than the previous movie (Kotonoha no niwa), here the narration is engaging, but the screenplay at certain times is unclear and creates doubts about the story. The rest is as good as usual, another great work of Master M. Shinkai. |
 |
| Finally getting around to watching this in 1080p torrent, cba 4k because bandwidth. - 2deep4me - shit got lit yo - musubi - he actually drank it lmao, dank decent, not that hyped, but it was pretty. Top 100 more like, but not #2. 7/10. |
 |
| 5/5 What to say... the suspense killed me. Time travel romance. Love it. LOL every time the guy was feeling her up. I'm really glad this was more than just a body-swap. That much became clear 40some minutes in. The happy ending doesn't really make a difference to me. It could have gone either way. Good job dragging that out till the last second. 8-910/10, not sure where I want to put this one yet. This has had quite some lasting impact. I really hate to give out 10s, and I don't give them out easily, but I think this one might actually deserve it. |

I don't think I've cried as much as this over a movie before |
 |
| i loved it, it is truly a great story with great visuals and art. really amazing and emotional story |
| Took a long time to watch it, thought it was (slightly?) overrated and moved on with other animes. Decided to watch it yesterday and god daymn, should have seen it earlier. It was clearly a great experience and even tho I didn't catch everything right after watching it, some explainations made it clear about what I had missed. In the end, I'm between 9.5 and 10. Def not overrated. |
| While reading the synopsis I was like: okay I don't think this will be a movie for me, i am more into voilence, blood, thriller, etc. But man I'm so glad I watched this movie. Watched it yesterday in Belgium with dutch subtitles, because of the movie it's fame they decided to show it in belgium cinemas, so it was a great experience and an even greater movie! |
 |
And that was the end. Good movie. I told myself I wouldn't be watching this movie since it released in Japan then a year later...here I am. I can see why the movie got the positive reactions it did and how the Mega Shinkai domination continued after that. I had no problem with the movie except for ruining Okudera after that date with that cigarette. I was also shipping her and Taki, but of course the movie would go the obvious route. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| What a huge amount of contrived bullcrap this entire plot was. Movie looked good, but Shinkai should stick to movies with no plot like Garden of wallpapers. At least those don't insult my intelligence... 4/10 |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| What was all that 3 years ago bullshit lol |
| Finally I found a good opportunity to watch the movie I saw advertisement for all the time while living in Nihon! Well, I would say it is a fantastic movie. Art was top! I think only Kyoani can compete with Shinkai and both surpassed Ghibli a little bit for my taste. Movie itself was filled with stuff all the time, kind of a rollercoaster. Funny in the beginning, mysterious in the middle, some drama occourred, a happy ending and all filled with light love. Nothing to complain about. The movie was designed to be like that and not an action movie or genre movie or something like that. I liked the structure of it and honestly I am impressed that Shinkai merged a gender swap and a time travel setting into one besides the already seen seperation of old/new or traditional/modern, landlife/citylife. I did not expact any of it, thanks avoiding trailers and stuff. Everything was well balanced and I think this aspect is a huge one explaining the good mood from people watching it. And I can understand why also people exist who just expected something else after hearing the positive response. But I think you cant compare this movie with something like Evangelion or some fairy tale movie or whatnot or of course series. Simple love dramas are alot out there, Shinkai mixed it here with some other ingredients and you just have a beautiful but interesting movie as a result. And for just a beautiful but interesting movie this one is I think outstanding and so it deserves something above 0,94. But for a damn high score I think the movie lacks one (and a half) thing: A nearly completly fitting, outstanding soundtrack. The soundtrack is good, no question. But the parts with the voices of the male bands are not really fitting. They are fitting, too, but somehow not. I hope you understand what I mean. ^^ Also among the other music pieces there is no outstanding one, a piece you will notice instantly from what production it is when appearing randomly in your playlist like Trigun for example or K-ON. Could have been better. Whatever, the half point I am not fully fine with the voice of Taki. Its to high I think. But all the characters itself were great, everyone had their role in the great story. And I personally was feeling honored with living in both areas showing in the movie, Tokyo and Hida area. Thats why I enjoyed the movie a little bit more than other people. ^^ I hope I can visit both places again soon.. Well I think I am just happy now that I enjoyed this movie and there are more to come. I still dont watch some other Shinkai movies and some others, the Kyoani one and the one with the fireworks. I will watch them soon, too, I think. I am looking forward to comparing all of them to each other and connect some memories with them like I was able to do with „kimi no na wa“. |
| I was waiting for a good quality version to be put online and it was worth it. This movie is great! I enjoyed it very much! I have not been watching anime at all much anymore but this makes me want to get back into anime. I only seen like maybe 1 or 2 anime this entire year plus this one. Glad I got to watch it before the new year. This one is gonna take some time to digest. The title of the movie is so fitting it's perfect. This director never disappointed yet so I look forward to whatever he works on next. |

| I downloaded this months ago and was planning to watch it on the holidays. And finally, I just finished it. I was completely blown away. Its amazing. The stunning visuals, the characters, the story. Its all darn amazing. Even thought I was already spoiled by the ending, it didn't ruined it for me. That fact that It they met each other again made me really want to watch this from start to finish. It was the perfect movie to start the new year. The first day of 2018. I was planning to watch this on New Year's eve or past midnight, but I had problems. But I was able to watch on this special day. Now I know why people were talking about it last year and it was it was very well received. I was clapping my hands at the ending. I hope this 2018 will be a great year for me. I just lost my dad last year, so I'm hoping it'll help me move on and be happy this year. Also lots of good anime I liked will be coming this year. Also, planning to watch other movies from Makoto Shinkai and more Ghibli movies as well. If I can buy a original dvd/bd copy of the movie, I will definitely buy it. Happy New Year everyone! 10/10 |

| I watched this both subbed and dubbed, and both I thought were decent, very passable for a dub and not terrible. Animation wise looked amazing, my only gripe is the pacing of the whole thing as it really slowed down in the middle. Story wise besides the pacing was decent If I had to rate it I would give it a strong 8 to a light 9. |
 |
| I'm not crying, you're crying!! |
| EL PSY KONGROO!!! |
| Finally came to the cinemas over here and man .. the wait was 100% worth it pure beauty |
| For once, I didn't cry even if it was a beautiful movie. At the beginning it was good, but I already watched several story like this. Then it is the moment where we learn that it's two different time lines. O.O. I didn't expect it at all, really great twist. Great story with a beautiful relationship between the two MCs. It has been well designed so we don't get lost with all the body switching. In one or two seconds, you already know, who is controlling the bod (boobs trick ^.^). Musics and animations were perfect. I think I will remember these songs for a long time. |
| Wow. I expected nothing coming into this, but kimi no na wa. caught me right in the feels. First time a movie has made me cry in years. Everything about it was so well done, and I haven't felt for the MC's in so long. I actually gasped when the MC's saw each other on the train, it was wonderful. It's been a long time since a movie has made me feel as much as this has. I'll be watching this again. |
 |
| i desperately wanted to love this as it pulled my heart strings about 1 kajillion times, and even drew tears from this jaded dead heart, but makoto-san just f@#ked us viewers too many times - when the film should have drawn to an awesome and tear-jerking ending, it just kept going on, and on, and on - if the director would have tightened the story up some and not kept playing with our emotions, i would have felt very satisfied in giving this a 9 or even 10, but instead, by the time it ended, i just felt used up and abused. i hate to say this, but i give it a 7... |

aznhomig said: Phenomenal movie,.. Yumehara said: The only thing I have to say is this is the best movie in 2016. However I prefer the garden of words. But it is still worth watching! Phenomenal indeed. It shows that Shinkai has grown, as he proves he can succesfully tackle a full length movie (whereas his previous full length movies: Children Who Chase Lost Voices, and The Place Promised in Our Early days, were somewhat flawed by their length). Totally did not see the body swapping or time travel coming, as his more recent works were all realistic. Amazing actually, how I managed to evade even the most basic spoilers for a year and a half. However, I still think the shorter Garden of Words was better. The story felt more dimensional, and the art was better, with even more detail. The alternating contrasting line-art was one of many nice touches that Your Name simply did not feature. I also think Your Name was a bit stretched out in the end, as the last 10 minutes just felt like Shinkai was teasing us for the sake of it. I wouldn't have mind, since it meant more art, but it was so unecessarily tense I could only focus on the drama. There was no reason why Taki didn't also write his name on Mitsuha's hand for example. With this length of film, I'd also would have liked a little more development of the relationship between Taki and Mitsuha, as the romantic aspect, while seeming logical, kinda came out of nowhere. Most of all though I find there to be something intensely sad and futile about the fact that Taki and Mitsuha will most likely never remember any of the interactions they've had, nor realise what they've been through and achieved together. Final score: 9/10 checkdafool said: Omg yes. The fourth time they passed each other I was like no way he's not gonna blueball us again is he?!?! Then thankfully he turned around. So glad this didn't end like garden of words and 5 cm per second Garden of words had a happy ending, and imo more satisfying. Most people missed it though. Check my comment here. |

| "I'm a middle schooler bartender!" - Mishima Hitomi |
| had a good ride overall. that part in the cave with her normally annoying 'do you remember' hit me pretty deep. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| Oh thank sweet merciful Christ they actually said something to each other. Still left it more ambiguous than I'd have liked, but I think it can be reasonably assumed they got together. I was gonna be so pissed had they just kept on walking past each other. But uh...yeah, good movie. The reputation this one built certainly spoke for itself. I don't think I ended up loving it as much as most people, but it was very enjoyable. Emotional in many ways, touching and humorous. I loved the Taki groping Mitsuha every time he entered her body runner. And I wasn't expecting the time difference twist between the two. The early portion of just seeing them acclimate to each other's lives was sweet, the end of seeing them desperately try and evacuate the doomed parts of Itomori was harrowing. The leads obviously stole the show, but what supporting cast there was in both of their lives was used well. I may have wanted a bit more with each of their fathers but eh, a minor complaint if even one at all. As countless before me have no doubt already said it would have been nice to see them as more of a couple, but I'll certainly take what we got. 8 out of 10 |
| FINALLY I have been waiting for months to see this movie! I missed my chance when it played at a theater nearby, and I refused to download it or watch it online, and then GameFly decided I needed Assassin's Creed Origins first, followed by delaying the delivery of the movie for a week, BUT I FINALLY SAW IT!! I loved the movie! I'd gush more about it, but I'm so tired and I just want to sleep. Maybe more gushing will happen later. |
 |
| I run whit no high expectations, and i am glad ,cuz that now is on my top 10 anime movies of all time. It was soo good, i recomend strongly. And that easter egg whit the teacher was prety clever ;) |

Exactly the same here! :D Whit the difrence that i didn't bay it , but definently will at the future ! |
| Was alright. Probably would have liked it more if it was a longer story. |
| This kind of ending makes the whole anime suck....i mean come on man just add 2 more min of scene in which they get to know each other but nooooo, makers have to leave the viewers conflicted and unsatisfied so that they can guess and create their own fanfiction. Sorry but i just hate these kind of endings which makes me hate the whole thing. |
Tsugumi said: After the emotions died down a bit, I paid attention to the little nagging feeling inside my head, and....well - I'd appreciate it if someone explained the following to me (because otherwise it kind of ruins the ending): I felt like giving it a 9 (for me, highest rating in anything implies "the best", which I think can only be decided by comparison, which but after analyzing that one thing I'm try to choose between 7 and 8 because of how important it is to the climax. Because it is like when you wake up from a dream, first minute everything is very fresh to you, but already 5 minutes later you forget basically the whole thing. And reading the name would be enough of a trigger, but it would be hard to remember by himself. Hope that helps :) |
 |
| why episode 1? isb't this a movie? well I really liked this anime, but it sure was a one watch show, it is totally borring ones you know the plot. but I dont think it could have been much longer, it could had added more details but it would ruin the pace that was almost perfect. it totally gave me "The Butterfly effect" vibes, even the same bittersweet taste at the end. though in the "The Butterfly effect" they only pass by each other and here they meet. to me it feelt like the moment i was hoping for only to find out it ends right there. |
