Art: I mostly watch anime that are realistic. 5 cm/s, Oregairu, Tari Tari, Hyouka, to name a few. I think that it's a lovely depiction of life with the artwork. Hands down, no flying characters and any kicks that send a character flying ten miles. The colors of the comet were also a major bonus in my eyes.
Sound: I usually don't grade much on sound, but Zen Zen Zense by RADWIMPS was simply amazing. When I heard it first in the trailer, that was the main reason for drawing me in. Trailers are usually amazing but a lot don't accurately depict the movie excitement, but you won't be disappointed by Kimi no Na Wa.
Characters: Pretty typical high school characters. Taki is your average day high schooler studying architecture and has a part time job, and Mitsuha is a girl living in a small town raised with traditional practices. Kind of rushed in the description of the characters, but I think they were very simple and to the point with both of them. Developed, but could use a tad bit more IMO.
Enjoyment: Hmm. Once more, I enjoyed it a large extent. I hate ambiguous endings (although this one implies that it's a happy one), I prefer anime that have at least a romance ending. Perhaps it's because I dislike melancholic things, even something like Fruits of Grisaia had an upbeat ending, despite behind psychological-themed. I JUST WANTED A ROMANTIC ENDING, but it's Shinkai running the show. I didn't find out until after I watched it, I was very certain it mirrored 5 cm/s at the end so I had a hunch.
Overall: Definitely would recommend to anybody. If you hate ambiguous endings like me and would bang your head against the wall if you don't get the ending you want, I'd advise caution. I'm glad I saw it, but I'll be melancholic since the anime ended on a amorphous note.
