"Kimi No Na Wa" is an absolute stunning anime. It has drama, a story, emotions and extremely beautiful ending. Everything about this anime is just one piece of anime art. I have a small review about it, as layman person. Here is what I would like to share:
Story: 9
There are higher dimensions like Time. There are concepts like Gravity, Love, Kindness which are never measured but are always felt. Science measures time in seconds and gravity in m/s^2 but it cannot measure the collapse, collesion, shrinking, rolling over and other super natural phenomenon. This anime does. This anime takes the example of threads and justifies the "time" in such a accurate manner that my mind totally lost into the idea. Warmholes through time are only possible because, "Unconditional Love" is one entity which can travel through dimensions. Highschool students as a love is pretty neat thing to begin with. I am wowed.
Art: 10
Art is just great. I have layman experience in art and I cannot much tell if some drawing is good or how much good just by looking over it. I can tell about this anime because it touches the soul. There are some moments which are amazingly enough beautiful that people like me, will unknowningly smile and become cheerful. Masterpiece for a reason - I would say.
Sound: 10
I am asian - Neither Japanese person, Nor English person. However, I do understand English(R/W/L) quite well. I watched the anime in English subtitles but the voices of Japanese written script is still in my mind. Music is really really good, I am also simple person when it comes to sound and this anime has mastered this area of it as well. Even if you have not watched anime, just check out the music and you will be not disappointed at all.
Character: 9
I am a little confused about this catagory. I have 2 concepts behind this catagory, I will tell about each of them in short below:
- If "Character" is meant to how the main characters look: If this is the case then, Art section has this explained well enough. Only question I have after anime, about the age of the both characters. It shows both are of age with time collesion of past and present (3 years). Well I think it does not matter as well anyway! :p
- "Character" is meant by the characteristics of individual - If it is the case then, I have nothing but positivity for the anime. Boy is boyish, girl is girlish, everything is in sync.
Enjoyment: 10
I enjoyed till my appetite, I couldn't resist to once so I watched more than once, amazing piece. I shared it to my friends. I will recommend it to people here. Go watch it, you will have no regrets afterwards.
Overall: 10
The piece of art, true romance/drama anime in modern picture. Physics is well described, Art is magnificent, sound is in sync with story so does the enjoyment of me. This anime deserves to be in top of it's class. Class apart!
