Okay, I watched Kimi No Na Wa, and im sorry to say but its lacking character development. It was short which i like because it wasn't the most entertaining story line out there (No offence). I dont' get the hype around and would not recommend it anyone I know.
{Story 6/10}
The story was lacking and somewhat cliche. It started out alright, but quickly turned into something like Erased. One of the protagonists die, and the other protagonist goes back in time to try and avoid this happening.
The only good thing that I wasn't expecting was when I found out that Mitsuha was actually already dead and her timeline was 3 years before the present.
But that was quickly washed away with the frustration I felt that they just took so long to figure out who they were and I was seriously hating the ending because of the ignorance.
{Art 9/10}
Beautiful art! Its colour scheme is so asthetic and Its really nice. I have nothing against it and its one of the only good things this anime has to offer.
{Sound 10/10}
Sound was really good too. They had music playing at just the right moments and even though I didn't really enjoy the movie, It made me feel a little sad. If there were no music i would have felt no pity for any of the characters.
{Character 5/10}
Bad Characters! It was such a short movie you couldn't get attached to the characters at all. They rushed character development and you can't just force someone to feel pity if 20 minutes ago you just met them. Like, they are realizing they are switching bodies then 4 minutes later out of no where the protagonists love each other like what??
{Enjoyment 5/10}
I got bored around the middle of the movie, which really shouldn't happen because of how short it is. The stories end didn't make me feel bad or happy it made me feel frustrated. It was showing Takis struggle but why? As far as im considered he had a good life. Friends, Entertainment, Cafes, A date. He didn't really need to switch and thats what made it lacking.
{Overall 6/10}
I would not recommend this anime to anyone. It was okay but nothing that made me sob or contemplate after i had finished it. It left no lingering emotions and thats a sign to me that I didn't enjoy it.
