Everyone once in a while we come across a modern master piece that makes us feel like we are part of a journey and this is where the film,"Kimi no Na wa."(Your name), impresses. There's something rather alluring about this movie. Love that transcends all boundaries of space, time and memory, it is this kind of love that this movie so brilliantly portrays. No wonder that at the time of writing, this is the highest rated anime on MAL. This film was a revelation in mant ways, a revelation as to just how good an animated film can be.

The movie introduces us to two characters with different lives but the same feeling. I don't want to mention a lot about the story sinceI don't want to give out any spoilers. However, take it from me, the story is absolutely brilliant, the narrative is masterfully crafted, so much so that it makes me want to just jump into it's world. The story does have a few moments where it doesn't impress but these moments are so few and far in between that it is hard to notice them. Whatever shortcomings the story has, which as I mentioned are very few, are absolutely steamrolled by the beauty of how the world of Kimi No Na Wa looks. The art style is just so amazing. I almost screamed like a fanboy pining away for his idol when I first saw what the film actually looked like. The film looks absolutely stunning. There's just nothing that is bad with the animation. The soundtrack, oh the soundtrack, it is just such a huge part of the film. The sound conveys a lot of emotions that sometimes the dialogues can't. Every high point for the two characters is just wonderfully portrayed.

Now let's move on to the most important and undoubtedly the best part of Kimi No Na wa., the two main characters. There's just so many things that make them great. They may appear to be the clichéd city boy, small town girl, characters at first but as time progressess, we get to delve in the complexities of these two people. They are just amazing, coupled with the story and the soundtrack, we just get drawn into their characters. We feel there anguish, there elation and all the other emotions they feel. Before long, we start identifying ourselves with these people even if we have absolutrly nothing in common with them. That's what sets this film apart and makes it a an amazing one.

Overall, this film is just awesome to the core, be it the weird beginning or the hopeful ending. This film is highly enjoyable and i reccomend it. It is something that will hold the top spot for quite some time.
