Another reason would be people genuinely liked it because they are newfags and really never saw such themes in fiction before. |

Lol comparing pingu and kimi no nan wa. Pingu isnt a meme, the show is wayyyyy more deeper than it looks on the outside |
kingraptor724 said: 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. I share the same opinion. Why do many people like it? The hype. That's all. I find the story, characters, music very mediocre. Only the animation is good. |
| Stunning animation, beautiful music, not the perfect story but above par, feels and just straight up you (most) have a great time! |
 |
| 1. Relatable and generic everyman/woman characters 2. Pretty visuals 3. Soundtrack that is catered to mainstream audiences Its just a high budget movie made for normies and they ate it up. |
 |
| People like what you don't like, mate. Deal with it. |
  |
| I'm with you on this. The two main characters felt very generic to the point where I couldn't relate to them at all (except for the sequence where Taki was traveling to find her village, that was good). I can't name one character trait from either of them and watching two cardboard cutouts fall in love was not very interesting. Speaking of the romance, it felt really out of the blue since they never actually talked or met, they just met each other's family and friends - but I'm sure there's something I'm missing, because none of Shinkai's romances or SoL anime ever clicked with me. The only movie of his that I liked is Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo and most people say that's his worst work. I just can't see what charmed people so deeply about this movie. I agree that a movie doesn't need too be complicated or deep to be good, but isn't there a point where they simplify a good idea too much? It doesn't have the depth of characterization of Ghibli movies, it's not as fun as the yearly franchise movies, it's too short to be a proper romance or drama, it stops being a comedy about a third of the way through... what does it actually have left? It's a beautiful movie like all of Shinkai's works, but is that really worth 10/10? Also people keep mentioning the soundtrack. Other than that vocal track nothing was memorable - maybe it worked better in the cinema. |

| If you watch it on theater It would be stunning. |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
| I think because it's unique. People who watch it in movie probably never watch anything like this. While us otaku have seen this kind of "switching body" scenario. I give it 10 because it's uniqueness. It's just a straight no twist heart touching story. Just like Angle Beats, Clannad, EF. The story simple yet well made and tear jerking. |
| I mean, its not mediocre, its enjoyable but definitly not a 10/10. More like a 7/10 at best |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Because the movie is intentionally made to have a broad appeal. I'm sure the studio was filled with men in suits who made sure that they didn't forget any target audience. It's a good movie, but it has this "flavor of the month" feel to it, just like every movie that Marvel has been churning out in the past decade. So I sincerely doubt people will be talking about it in 10 years or so. Now take something like Spirited Away on the other hand.. That movie has aged like fine wine and will be just as loved in 50 years as it is today. |

| >Mediocre Replace it with garbage, I can agree. |

| The problem I have with Your Name being so high is that in essence, it's a glorified popcorn film with extremely high production value and a lack of coherence in storytelling. I can see how Your Name can be easily liked, but how do people rate it so high when there's so many flaws in characters and story that cannot be easily dismissed? Having Your Name at the top would be like putting a Marvel film at the very top of a movie list. Sure, Marvel is fun to watch, but it's nowhere near the best movies. |
| It just happened to resonate with some, and fall flat for others. I was on the side it resonated with. I was actually in a terrible mood going into this film, and as the credits rolled I noticed that some negative weight had been lifted. Even if the movie is shallow at moments, it does manage to convey real feelings: of adolescent wonder; a yearning for something out of reach. Now layer on top of that the stunning visuals and a fantastic soundtrack... for a lot of people, you have a masterpiece. |
 |
| Says the guy who rated Death Note 10/10 and Steins;Gate a 2/10. |
| I do like the movie but IMO it's so overrated in MAL man like wth. |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| I don't its mediocre. Great visuals, sound and the story was good. |
| i loved it, it is a great story |
| I like it because it has god tier backgrounds and artwork, characters that are easy to watch and relate to, great comedy and story with just the right amount of pacing, all tied together with one of my favorite soundtracks I've heard, ever. The only bad thing I can say about this movie is it has a couple plot holes/contrivances, like how neither of them noticed the date was 3 years off despite most likely writing it down multiple times a day on their school assignments or simply looking at the date in their smartphone, but it doesn't make me like the movie any less. |
| because normies love pretty colors. why else? |

| Because it's a work of art. Also it's the first time I've seen a brand new anime film on the big screen, so it will always have a special place. |
| Great visuals but otherwise it's just alright, nothing special at all. Insanely overrated |
| I rewatched earlier today, and I still felt the same way as I did the first time I watched it. The best way to describe it is it left me emotionally exhausted, but in a positive way. I had similar feelings after watching FMA:B and S;G. The film touches on a lot of concepts that draw people. There's romance/a love story connecting two ordinary people (people can relate to them), destiny, culture, urgency, feeling of loneliness, time travel, being in another's shoes, life in bustling city vs idyllic country, growing up, a hopeful happy ending, and obviously solid voice-acting and fantastic art and music to wrap it all up. It's not a complex film by any means, but it packages everything well enough that leaves it moving. |
| Since there has been many posts and comments about Kimi no Na wa that annoyed me a lot, I decided to finally watch it. xD I was ready to bash it and crush it with my disappointment. I guess its because I was annoyed how many times I seen a post be like "omg. this is the greatest anime of all time. It is even better than Spirited Away". Tbh, the movie is not that bad. But I wouldn't rate this high as a 9.2 or 10 or whatever high rating it has. I wouldn't go far to make it rank #2. I enjoyed the movie though. I would rate it a solid 8 tops. The music, animation, and scenery were beautiful and nice xD Very stunning. Thats probably why I rate it somewhere in 8 range. However, I guess its the story that kinda bothered me a little bit. I could see it being a typical romance movie with a simple storyline. But since these two characters switch bodies in some days in the week, I'm just wondering how did they fall in love with each other? They haven't met each other or got to know each other besides what they see/experience during the time but they would forget it later when they switch back. I don't know if its just me or if i'm just some heartless, soulless person who has no romance in my life and is just a single lady with no boyfriend ;-;, but I feel like them falling in love with each other was somewhat quick and unexpected/surprising/vague/"a word that describes how unusual this is". x'D I didn't understand how the romance work. I was thinking Miki and Taki would get together but I guess not. And I was thinking it would be great if Taki and Mitsuha were friends. I don't know. The thing that they most likely would remember is them touching the other person's private area. xD My interpretation of the scenario when they finally meet: Mitsuha: "AH! you're the guy who I checked to see if I actually had a penis to confirm that I was a boy and took pictures of desserts on your phone from that one cafe." Taki: "You're the girl who I kept touching your boobs every morning while wooing a lot of people at school with my athletic skills." I would have thought this is how they fell in love with each other. xD |
| Excellent art + mediocre plot = Kimi no Na wa? |
Least degenerate visual novel enjoyer.  |
| It is the same reason as why you don't like this movie, bruh. It's called preferences. Get used to it. |

| I don't know what there is to say that hasn't already been said, but Your Name. is a good, solid movie that's highly accessible (and therefore has the major strength of mainstream appeal). The quality of the presentation is likely to cause viewers to overlook the relatively shallow nature of the film's actual content and become emotionally invested. With a likable (if not deep) cast, a solid and engaging (if not complex) story, and an emotionally rich atmosphere (if not a thematically rich narrative), it's easy to remain invested (or to become increasingly captivated) throughout the duration of the film; and then the almost-surprise happy ending makes it easy to leave the film with a highly positive impression. Of course, being engineered to be easy to like doesn't make something a classic on its own, so I would expect its rating to fall gently over time. YummyYogurt said: I also feel like it was rushed, but, for your consideration, here's one interesting, nontraditional definition of love that's been solidly upvoted: "Love is giving someone the power to destroy you, and trusting them not to." Mitsuha and Taki are implicitly given the power to destroy each other, and yet they try to use that power to help each other, despite how awkwardly they may go about doing so.I'm just wondering how did they fall in love with each other? They haven't met each other or got to know each other besides what they see/experience during the time but they would forget it later when they switch back. I don't know if its just me or if i'm just some heartless, soulless person who has no romance in my life and is just a single lady with no boyfriend ;-;, but I feel like them falling in love with each other was somewhat quick and unexpected/surprising/vague/"a word that describes how unusual this is". x'D I didn't understand how the romance work. |

| I personally found it to be very enjoyable. Maybe you just have different preferences? |
 |
| It was great. One of my ten 10/10s I've given. The story was simple yet beautiful, the art and animation were great, and I loved the OST |
  |
| mediocre? Where you watch the mediocrity? I understand that you can like or not like because every person has their taste, but this film is so far from the mediocrity!!! An advice: Watch a little more anime, and after re-watch it, if you have the same opinion, that is "mediocre", it´s that you don´t like the anime/animation, is not guilty of the film!!! The quality animation was nice, although the plot, with this turn in the middle, was amazing1!! |
| It was good but people are easily impressed by nice visuals. As visuals get better and better as time goes on, I have noticed that anime ratings keep getting higher. |
 |
| this bitch obviously have no taste. |
| I also don't understand why Your Name is overrated. I watched the movie with high expectations, since, i.e hype , but it was a bit of a meh for me. I like it, but it's just not one of my favorites. Say, (genuinely asking), what are the other important impacts of the movie to the viewers? I can agree with the OST and visuals one. |
| No idea, this anime sucked. can't believe this was so successful, what a disappointment |
