your name.
| Honestly I was extremely unimpressed for what it was rated, and yet its still at the top of mal. What is so great about this anime, the characters werent even interesting. And the whole switching bodies with someone that wished a different life is not unique at all. The story was very simple like a disney movie with no exciting plot twists or anything... Why do people love this. |
| Because it moved them? I mean why else would shows like Shigatsu, Clannad etc. have higher ratings. Being unique shouldn't even be questioned. As if there's anything unique in this day and age. As you said it's very simple and yet compelling at the same time. If you're expecting anything heavier than that then I don't know what you were expecting. It had nice visuals, sound and directing that made the anime successful. Simple yet beautiful. Not everything has to be complicated nor unique to make a show good |
| I don't know about there not being exciting plot twists, but pretty much what @EGOIST stated. People, including myself, really enjoy this movie because it was able to make the simple compelling again. No other reason; I think the movie is appreciated mostly for how much heart it has in its production and concept, for which can captivate newcomers and veteran otaku alike. |
| Kimi no na wa is a movie that I personally believe can only be experienced in the cinema theater as its most powerful aspects were music and art. A 7 in a pirated version 10 in the big screen |
 |
| because people love what they love, not what you love. |
| I'm really want to know what kind of anime movies you're in then, lol. I'm curious to understand the tastes of a person with Adolf Hitler in his favourite people section. edit: just saw your anime ratings nevermind lmao |

| Just like everyone said, it's not about the originality of the concept, it's about the execution and the emotions. I really loved this movie. You could say many of the ideas in this movie are similar to steins;gate, erased, freaky friday (or the hot chick if you want to get specific into the girl/boy body switch, and those are just the ones I remember, not the oldest), there's no denying that. I can't fault you if this movie didn't impact you, though, that's something subjective. Gotta say I didn't watch it until they brought it to my country LAST WEEK, I wasn't expecting it in hype or anything, I just missed it when everyone was torrenting it. And yep, I'd say watching it on the big screen is definitely a plus. |
 |
| I'm with op here. I really don't see what's the big deal. The plot has been done a million times over, and the eye-candy can't be worth a 10 alone :/ |
| mainly music and animation decent plot although I would have much prefered it if in the end they forgot each other and moved on with their lifes |
| I should have known it. The rest of the world doesn't exist. |

I saw it twice, torrented when it went out in Japan, and in cinema when it went out in my country. I got astounded twice. CondemneDio said: I'm with op here. The plot has been done a million times over, and the eye-candy can't be worth a 10 alone :/ It can. If not then, I see too many ratings above 6 in your profile. Everything is a ripoff of something else, even the first anime in 1917. Nothing is original, thus nothing deserves a 10 for having everything else "alone". Go lower your ratings now =D suncitygril said: mainly music and animation decent plot although I would have much prefered it if in the end they forgot each other and moved on with their lifes Just watch almost any other Makoto Shinkai movie then :D |
| bruh |
| @FullyCharged Oh yes, that's true. I just think that while the plot was in the end a rip-off, it was also shitty. |
| Lmao Just stfu op Your stupidity is unbelievable, every thread you make is more more stupid than its antecedent I agree this movie is overated tho not as much overated as code gueass tho |
 |

| Watched it in theater and its good. Watched it in my laptop. I want to kms. |

FullyCharged said: edit: just saw your anime ratings nevermind lmao What's wrong with his ratings? |
 |
| You literally answered your question in your rant, OP. It's the same reason people love Ghibli. It's the style. It reminds them of Disney. Personally, I think Ghibli is overrated with the exception of like two movies. But I can understand why people get attached to it. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |

Not surprising for a person with shounen filled favlist.

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Yes, this anime is just so overrated. When I saw this anime at top of rating, I was expecting something big, but I was totally disappointed. It is just a mediocre movie and I have seen many better movies Sword Art Online movie was much more entertaining Koe no Katachi was also better. It has deeper more emotional story |
| Because this movie is visually appealing. It has a unique concept and a compelling plot. I was moved by the interaction between Mitsuha and Taki. It was a surreal experience. The soundtrack was amazing. The setting was very detailed and breathtaking. I enjoyed the Tokyo scenes and the shrines. It explored japanese culture to foreigners like me. 9/10 |
 |
| it was an above average movie with great animation until the part when and after that plot twist It went from a 8 to a 10. |
| I always rate fairly, I give it a 9/10 |

| Yes, I have to agree. I think my expectations were too high since it's at the top of the list, but I was SO unimpressed by it. My boyfriend and I had a hard time getting through it because we were BORED. But I see what other people are saying. I can see how it would be relatable and able to move someone - it just didn't move me lol. |

Why do people love this. Omfg. You literally pulled every word out of my mouth. Plotwise the movie is horrendous, the art sure is amazing which is the only good thing that came out of that movie. As expected from Shinkai. Lmfao. Never a fan of his works anyway. |

| Ooooh the cringe in this post is so over the top. It had feels, great interaction between the characters and a very good plot twist, with suspenseful and, what's rare for Shinkai, happy ending. It's not always about how many good points a movie has, but how well it capitalizes on them, and Kimi no na ha, does great job at this. |

It is sort of accurate, L, light, holo etc Especially holo deserve to be high in the rankings |
| Was good but I'm not sure if it was thaaaattt good. Definitely up there. Maybe for me it was too predictable. Solid 8 for sure and maybe 9 at certain parts of the story. 10 for when tasogare musubi ended and last scene. Great character development for a subjectively short film imo. Much things to say. |
| It's almost like taste is a subjective metric really makes you think |
| No, just because you like action doesnt mean you dont like emotion |
TheServant said: I love/enjoyed some mediocre & a bad anime. So if this is, like you said, a mediocre anime, does not mean people cannot love it. You can enjoy it fine but rated as the 2nd best anime in existence? REALLY? The ratings on MAL really make anime watchers seem mentally ill sometimes. |
| You are the mentally ill if you care what some cartoon is ranked on some website. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |

Character popularity isn't a good gauge of a show's worth. |
I guess this is the proper place to share this. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
Kitonic said: You know, I thought this too having never seen the movie, and today I decided you know what I have free time. At first I was like great it's just going to be some basic body switch movie, but by the end I had cried like 4 times and regretted not watching this earlier. I personally can't even begin to understand how you couldn't love this movie after watching it. What particularly made you cry? Honestly I watched expecting to be crying on the floor or something, and nothing, that was what disappointed me the most. |

| bandwagon aaaaaaand 10/10 animation probably. I didn't like it too but mehhhHHHh |
| hi,i like you. |
| i also ask the same question about people who watch all the loli shit |
| It has romance, time travel, and the switching bodies trope. I though it was just okay as well, but it appeals to a lot of people, has spectacular music and art, and it was well-marketed, so people who aren't that exposed to anime watched it too, then telling their other friends to watch it whether they like anime or not, etc... It was just really widespread, imo |
