 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| It had a interesrting plot, with good pacing (that is slow-ish but necessary) and I liked the soundtrack. It was overall a solid movie and I rated it high. I'm surprised it got such a score of MAL though, considering the number of people who would rate it 1 then act like some elitist cunt over it. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Grossly overrated, I say. Shinkai Makoto is always like that. |
| It's a good movie, not the best but good. I wouldn't be that guy who gets all butthurt about it being in the first place and scoring it very low. |
Joms said: Grossly overrated, I say. Shinkai Makoto is always like that. Imo it's clearly the best Shinkai's film. Yes, it is not as good as majority of people says, but the film itself is really satisfying in many aspects, especially the visual direction and I left the cinema with a wonderful feeling. But the overrated discussion is pretty useless tbh, most people use the term overrated in order to bring down the anime they think does not deserve much praise not because the show itself is bad but because they don't like it as much as other people does. |

I don't know, but my definition of overrated is that the show doesn't actually deserve the acclaim, i know even you agree that it's not the best film despite what the people say. Makoto Shinkai is actually mediocre in average, with Garden of Words his best because it is short and smooth. I haven't watched this film, but I'm always upset when the hype and praises did not reflect the films themselves. I hope it would be as good as GoW or even surmount its quality |
| Very overrated. Kimi no na wa was the best animated Shinkai film to date. But all of Shinkai's works so far have been stellar so it's not that much better than Garden of Words in that regard. In addition the story is much more messy and nonsensical. |
| no, not slightly, it is very very overrated. Tons of amateur plot problems like the MCs forgetting how to use a smartphone to communicate, instead relying on human diary entries, not that it'll work due to the twist but still, not realizing that Sunday turns into Thursday when they most likely have different schedules per day as 2016 is'nt 2013, plus the comet. Convincing the Mayor was very important in the last part but nope, they didn't even show how he got convinced etc. Explanation for shits going on, that is also musubi... So retarded. The more I think about this show, the more flaws appear that aren't supposed to when you are already a pro writer. Ignorant masses calling the twist original... lol. |

| I think in terms of box office success I can understand why. It has all the ingredients of mass audience appeal, from the highly cinematic experience, it's comedic timing, great pacing and momentum and intriguing premise. In terms of the rating on mal, i think probably not so much. But then again how many anime on the top 40 of mal do you agree with? I think when it comes to masterpieces like a 10/10 it gets extremely subjective. Whereas slightly lower scored shows like 8 and 9, people become more tolerant of it. I also agree that the relationship is a underdeveloped to be emotionally effective. Furthermore I found the whole body switching amnesia and time traveling to be a bit unjustified in terms of its narrative purposes. Like it seemed to only be there as a device for drama and not for conveying messages or develop the characters. So i think even from a non-subjective but objective point of view, the story could've been more fleshed and the craft more articulated. I think this film would've worked a lot better as a series where they could even give us an epilogue where unsatisfying ending didn't. |
| More overrated than Gintama and that's saying something. |
| The truth is best told straight. |
| seemed to me like Shinkai tried to imitate Miyazaki at the second half of movie, all these magical journeys trough fields and all knowing granny, even the dialogues were.. cliche but not in good way besides amazing animation (like always) it didn't work out well for me coz most of new anime have good art these days, its not something surprising anymore |
| I liked Byousoku 5 Centimeter a lot more that Kimi no na wa, both from Shinkai. 8 > 6 for me. Just because I couldn't feel the drama from Kimi no na wa, it was funny at most. |

Barrys said: I think that a love story (or any topic) is as emotionally effective as much as you can relate to it, how much it is developed is secondary That's a good point and observation. I never really thought about it that way. Also I think the love story that we as audience tend to care/emotionally invest in are the ones we want ourselves and can empathize with as you said. |
mikario said: Spot on. It would be more of a problem if absolutely everyone thought it was a masterpiece... That would mean there were subliminal messages or something ;)Do people not understand that liking a movie or not is subjective? If you didn't like it, that's fine. However, most people thought it was very good and that's why it's currently on the top of the rankings. |
| I agree, I have no idea why the rating is so damn high |
meeezh said: i feel so left out :( Me too, I really wanted to like it more! |
| idk how did this movie become so popular and well known to begin with, especially outside japan was there some crazy hugh mungus budget of advertizement or something? i will take kungfu panda over this anytime |

| Well, to be honest, it's not really overrated. Kimi no nawa deserves what it takes when it comes to the watchers and fans alike. Also, if take a look at the stats, 453 votes scores it 1--the worst possible rating yet--without explaining it why. |

| I think we'll always have this feeling that something is overrated when lots of people start to make a fuss over it, talking that "is amazing" or is "the best anime ever".... even if is really very great ^^' some people are too exaggerate in express how much they like an anime... and, when the anime is in the spotlight, more people will watch and talk about it... and, consequently, more of those "exaggerated" people will shows up and make their exaggerated comments in a side note, I feel a little sad when those things influence other people's opinion negatively... like, there's so many people stating that an anime is amazing, and lots of them are really annoying... so, some people will watch "wanting" to dislike it (unconsciously) to not agree, or to not be "alongside" with those "annoying people"... |
| Only seen dubbed version, but if I'm going off of that, then yea, pretty overrated. Should be more around the 8.0-8.5 avg rating mark tbh. |
 |
| yes, it's overrated. same as y'all favorite anime |
| It had a pretty slow beginning, but I feel like the movie fell off on Mitsuha's part. We never got to truly see her father speak to her again after the disaster that was for the most part avoided because she was told about the disaster. I really wanted to see Mitsuha and her father converse/confess given her father's interesting back story. I felt like her character was incomplete and suddenly 8 years later everything is okay with no explanation of her family relations given that it played a big role near the end of the movie. I think this was one of the pieces that was meant to be put in when Shinkai said the movie didn't end as he planned due to the budget. Even Shinkai doesn't think that it should be that highly praised. Given that it was incomplete, it certainly won't receive a 10 from me. I feel that the reason why it was scored so highly on MAL was because many were so emotionally impacted by it that they either didn't care or didn't notice the movie's flaws. Although, I will admit that I did shed a few tears. |
| Well ranking is about momentum too, it won't stay at first place forever. simonswinslam said: The Score of this movie shows that 99% of MAL's users are KIDZ (in mind and perhaps in body too) and 1% have a good taste and can judge without seeing what others are doing. Fmc I enjoyed the story a lot. Maybe I still have a young heart in my grown-up body... :-) But I didn't need to check others member's list to give a score of 10, what are you saying Ojisan? Nurlela said: yes, it's overrated. same as y'all favorite anime That's totally it. |

From Someone who give Dimension W a 8 and then konosuba S2 a 7 what can i expect from you kozou ?? Don't worry, even if you are already an adult, it's never too late to learn kindness. |
simonswinslam said: What does kindness have to do with our conversation?? For you, even if i don't know your age, i say " It's never too late to make your own advices and stop copying what others did already said ... People with no opinions (like you) are like an egg from last year ! They are worthless" Does it helps? Well that's why I don't spend so much time on MAL forum and social media in general. There are too many haters/trolls who attack the identity of people and destroys the atmosphere. "Huh you disagree with me? You are sooo stupid ! Look at your avatar! Look how you rated that show! Look how few post you have! You get it ? You are shit! And I don't care about what you write." But still you were right, there is something wortheless here: this conversation. You had enough fun with me, I am done. Feel free to post one more reply so you have the statisfaction of closing this discussion. |
| I put it at high score 4/5 but I dont think its even deserve the tittle of "Best Movie of 2016" like there are some awesome movie that overshadowed by Kimi no Na wa.... so... like its too overtalked and its sad :( |

| The hype for the movie was real though, and it's overrated for a reason: because it's actually good. |
 |
| I agree that it is overrated, though it is pretty great. Like many others have said, it would have worked better as a 1-cour anime and many movies are on par with it in overall quality. |
| here's how to check if it's overrated or not. did some random dude made a video talking about best movie of 2016? did he vote another movie instead of kimi no na wa? did the fans attack him and shit on his taste? if yes to all 3, you have an overrated series |
