It's clearly a story about struggling to find your true love. Epileptic Sasuke here is clearly confessing to the love of his life Naruto through webcam but is then overcome by his emotions and fade-to-black-jutsu before before Naruto could see his tears. #nohomo
The title is clearly providing a deep provocative reference to Japanese word "ai" which is this forgotten ancient word for "love" which can only be realised once you've committed yourself to the arduous act of... 3 seconds of google. This story was truly moving and nothing in anime comes close except for Iwata Naomi magnificent work with Polygon Pictures. Truly I've seen the short 7777777777777 times now and it never fails to get me teary by the end. Magnificent.
Art 10/10:
You may worship Kimi no na wa's beautiful detailed artwork and sweeping establishment shots but you know what this show doesn't have and Kimi no na wa does? Bearable animat- Boob jokes. This show doesn't pander to otakus with vulgar boob comedy. It is devoid of fanservice and instead is filled with rich and evocative symbolism. The blackness is clearly there to indicate that you might need chemotherapy because you have brain cance- a deeper appreciation for life and its intricacies. Truly a thought provoking show.
Sound 10/10:
Wait there was sound? Uh beautiful OST recorded at 0 db that really sweeps you up into the emotionally poignant climax and amazing sound design. Best sound since Made in Abyss.
Character 10/10:
The show singlehandedly focuses on epileptic sasuke so he gets an immense amount of character nuances and not only grows as a person throughout the show but also acts as a vessel for the viewer to grow alongside him.
Enjoyment 10/10:
It was so good it gave me brain cancer and I don't remember who I am anymore help please i feel not great andnowmythumbstoppedworking
Overall 10/10
Recommended for everyone.
tl;dr
I sensed a disturbance in the force... there was an extreme lack of quality reviews for this show.
