Makoto Shinkai, Director of Kimi no Na Wa is a big name around anime movie industry. Perhaps because works like this his name becomes big. if anything about his work is that he never fail to deliver a good story even with something cliche. but i wont making hassle about cliche, i mean it is 2016 and what could possibly new?
Story 8/10
the story is good,very good. it is a story which makes me not playing with my phone while it is on. it is a story which make your eyes glued on it. but i agree if someone gonna say it is good at best and decent at worse for the story. what i really amazed of Kimi no Na Wa is how great the story being delivered to audience . i understand that this show focused on "feelings" , and it does great job to convey it into audience.
Art 8/10
It is candy to the eye . but i think it could do more
Sound 10/10
It is candy to the ear. it tease your ear. it caresess your ear. there are tunes here and there which done a great job conveying feelings on the show. they really know how to turn the mood on.
Enjoyment 10/10
knowing Makoto Shinkai mean knowing his "fetish" for making story which makes you linger and insecure , i feel restless as the show goes on to the end. if anything, i really glad of Kimi no Na Wa ending. recent anime movie which i watch is Kizumonogatari Tekketsu Hen (bakemonogatari series) and Kotonoha ni Wa, while i got biased over Kizumonogatari because i am fans of bakemonogatari series, i really enjoy watching those both so does Kimi no na Wa.
Overall 9/9
i have a great doubt when i first seen MAL rating for Kimi no Na Wa, it is over 9000 (9) ?!. when the shows over, i feel something weird in my chest . i am amazed of how it have affect what i feel inside my heart. this week is really busy , gotta prepare for my upcoming undergraduate exam and my paper still a mess. but then after i watch Kimi no Na Wa i feel somewhat refreshed and having my fighting spirit recharged. it really is something nice to watch, no ! if you ever come to MAL and read this review that means YOU absolutely must watch Kimi no Na Wa.
