MyAnimeList, and many people on here will review with a score followed by a short reason as to why they gave that score.
Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name) by Makoto Shinkai, however, I believe shouldn't be reviewed on such a system. Kimi No Na Wa is a very particular kind of Anime. A beautifully written, gorgeously animated, heart-wrenching movie, and it will leave an impression on your mind and heart.
You may find yourself suddenly obsessed with a small town in the Japanese countryside. You may find that your heart aches when you see certain faces or hear their names. You might feel that at the end of this adventure, you have a feeling of emptiness, and yet you are also hopeful. It's a strange sensation, and it's one that Shinkai has masterfully crafted and manipulated to make you feel. You feel what these characters could be going through, that feeling of hope, loss, confusion, joy, desperation, and relief. You don't just watch these characters go through this story, you almost become a part of it. This movie will become a film analysers dream. Packed full with masterful art, animation, writing, dialogue, and screenplay. Yet done so well that while watching you notice none of that, as you have become completely engulfed within these character's lives and the story they have to tell.

There is a reason why this movie has suddenly rocketed to #1 on this site.
