Kimi no na wa is defiantly an exception.
Story- 9
The story of kimi no na wa is original and refreshing. The start is somewhat confusing and hard to grasp however it gets moving soon after. The story is fulfilling and enjoyable and from what i have experienced, cliches are sparse (which is very good as this type of story is normally cliche to the max). Could have been 10/10 if the first 10 minutes were abit more normal.
Art- 10
Not much to say, the art is outstanding and honestly one of the best I've ever seen. The movie spends some time to showcase the art and surprisingly it does not hinder the story, as in some animes doing this can somewhat ruin the story.
Sound- 10
Music is fitting and beautiful. OP and ED are good and will probably find their way into my playlist if i can get it. Voice actors are actually brilliant. I liked how they used a child to voice yotsuha. THe voices are very refreshing and sometimes i find that they are relaxing. Background music enhances scenes and brings beauty and elegance to the movie.
Character- 10
This movie is worth about 5 episodes of anime. Yet the character development is better then some 20 episode anime. How they did this in 1 hour and 35ish minutes truly blows me away (I havent watched many anime movies mind you). At about the half way mark i find myself attached to most of the main and side characters in the movie, aswell as hating the character that was meant to be hated (no spoilers :P). Honestly the male MC is one of my favorites to date aswell which is a bonus xD. Characters maketh the anime and the characters are truly something else.
Enjoyment- 10
This anime is a masterpiece and theres seriously no other way to describe it. Its funnny, heart warming, heart breaking, heart wrenching, romantic and 100% enjoyable. My only complaint at this time is that i cant experience what i experienced when i first completed it, as that feeling was seriously something that i really dont feel often.
Overall- 10
Whether you're into romance, mecha, action (ok maybe not so much this), or literally anything else i can assure you that you will enjoy it. Some maybe more then others but you will with out a doubt love it. Seriously I 101% suggest anyone to watch it. Enjoy :P
