Review of Your Name. (2016) by Rox22 — 04 Sep 2022
This was so beautiful. I was actually crying!
Whether you are into anime or not, if there is just one you should see, then make it this. This is an anime of legend and will be honored for decades to come. It clearly deserves all the praise it's been given.
The animation is gorgeous and vibrant. The OST is also wonderful with some haunting and heartbreaking melodies that stir the soul and capture the imagination. Clearly this was a labour of love and that shows.
The plot is not new and has been done before many times. But the production, editing, pacing and overall writing of the characters is so masterfully done that it becomes it's own. The genre it best falls into is slice-of-life romance with a touch of fantasy. A little bit of a slow burn at the start, but does get momentum pretty quick.
Overall: I can go on and on about this movie (it's a movie, not a series) but in short: it beautiful and a must see for all.
