What is your favorite romance story? Real or fake, personal or otherwise!

It is confirmed by the Makoto Shinkai that they got together, the couple also has a cameo in his other work. Community also made a theory that Mitsuha wanted to write 'I love you' as well. The way she started writing, the first stroke doesn't match the the way she writes hiragana for MI, but does for SU as in sukida (I love you). It was also confirmed by Shinkai that this is the case. The I love you on her hand didn't disappear, cause just like in after a dream when we wake up, we forget names, faces, situations, but we remember the feelings. Love is a feeling, that's why it stayed.

i cried so hard when i saw the "i love you" instead of taki´s name, was it just me?

I still remember, when I watched this movie the first time I totally assumed that the price for them saving the town would be them not getting to get together again. And I was actually okay with that idea for a moment (it seemed a fair trade in the bigger sheme of things and I'm usually a quite rational person)....but then the two of them started to go on about how they were always searching for something and how it made them basically constantly unhappy and they kept just missing each other. And I realized: "No, no, I'm actually NOT okay with this! I NEED them to get back together!" So when Taki finally turned around there at the end I was litteraly bawling my eyes out just out of sheer happiness!😭😭 This movie was the first one that made me truly cry (not just feel sad or tear up a little), it was the first time where I realized how relieving and cathartic it can be to just let loose and cry about a movie. I've cried on many movies since then (out of happiness and out of sadness) but this one will always have a special place in my heart; not just because it is an absolute masterpiece on itself, but also because it was the movie that "thaught" me tor cry!

An interesting little fact about why Tessie acted the way he did when Mitsuha cut her hair, is that in Japanese culture, cutting your hair is a very huge deal. Cutting of hair has been a big part of their culture for a long time, for example, samurais used to cut off their top knot as a sign of them stepping down from their position. So when you cut your hair, its very much symbolism, which means an end to an era of someone's life, and the beginning of another. In Mitsuha's case, its her basically trying to move on from Taki.

A couple small trivias for you! The director Makoto Shinkai is known for movies without happy endings. I was bloody scared they would not meet again. The stairs they meet up at in the ending is a real place. J.J Abrams production company Bad robot owns the rights to make a live action adaptation of Kimi No Na Wa. Radwimps was supposed to make the music based on sketches Makoto Shinkai showed them, they came back with the music from the movie and told Shinkai "This is better" so he changed the movie to fit the music.

You know, I’m obsessed with this movie because it gives you A LOT to think about. One of the things I love the most about this movie is the analogies to real life it uses. First, it uses the Asian myth of the “red string of fate” to play with the idea of destiny. It is portrayed with Mitsuha’s ribbon during the whole movie to show how Taki and Mitsuha are attached (destined) to be together through this ribbon. Second: the time difference is an analogy to distances and difficulty of finding that person who is destined for you. Taki and Mitsuha went through time and back to finally be together. Just shows all the sacrifices you must do to find your soulmate. And third and my favorite one, the main idea of them forgetting their names, not knowing their names, represents every day life and the idea of romance that’s in our heads. Technically speaking, we all know the person we are destined to be with. We know how we want them to be. We know that person will be funny, charming, chivalrous, hard working, smart, family person, adventurous, etc… we know the person who is destined for us.. we know who that person is… but we haven’t met them yet… and therefore, we are yet to know.. their name…

The "comet reveal" destroyed me twice when I watched it for the first time: First, there was the emotional gut punch of realizing that the body switching had stopped because Mitsuha had literally died (and not because it was just a "magical comet" and once it was gone the switchingwould just have stopped because the magic was gone....which was 100% what I had assumed had been happening until that point😭). And second, came the absolute mindfuck when it was revealed that the impact had happened 3 years ago (because not even for a SECOND did I think about the fact that there could have been ANY other aspect to the body switching than what we had been shown previously in the movie😮)

It took them days to realize to figure it out that they were switching bodies because its like having a dream. You dont remember much of your dreams after several minutes you woke up right?😊

A silent voice is another fantastic one

"Il giardino delle parole" on the outside of the Restaurant Taki works at is Italian for "The Garden of Words" a throwback reference to Shinkai's previous anime movie. The woman teacher in Mitsuha's classroom teaching about twighlight is also one of the main characters from that same movie.

It is hard to pick up on everything in this movie on just one viewing. Here are some of the points that might not be obvious. Yes, Mitsuha's father is the mayor which we learn when he said "Mitsuha, stand up straight!". Perhaps the most difficult part is keeping track of who is in each body during the bicycle ride to the shrine. It is Taki in Mitsuha's body remembering the meeting in Tokyo when Mitsuha gave Taki the ribbon. When Taki's body wakes up in the shrine, it is Mitsuha who says "I'm Taki again". Not only that, she also remembers seeing the comet when it killed her. It is Mitsuha coming back from the dead. That is why she says "at the moment, did I die?" But Taki's body is still in 2016, three years after the comet. When Taki-in-Mitsuha arrives, he/she is in 2013 on the day of the comet. But due to the power the the god Missubi, they can hear each other through time. The background with one lake or two is the clue as to which year they are in. You can see the background switch as the camera switches between Mitsuha-in-Taki and Taki-in-Mitsuha. You can tell they are switched by what name they call each other with. Then when Twilight begins, two things happen at once. One is that they each go back to their own bodies. The other is that Taki's body is transported through time to 2013 to be in the same time as Mitsuha and they can see each other. This is the only time in the whole story when physical time travel occurs. Then when Mitsuha heads back down from the crater rim she is now fully Mitsuha, but now with the knowledge she got from Taki. That is why Tessie asks her "That think is going to fall?" she says "I saw it with my own eyes." And she is right, because this version of Mitsuha's mind is a continuation of the mind that actually did see the comet fall and died. By the way, you mentioned it is October right now. If you follow the dates in the movie you will know that "5 years later" is October of 2021. Then we see snow, followed by cherry blossoms, so it is then spring of 2022 and that is when Taki and Mitsuha finally meet. The director, Makoto Shinkai, has also said that they get married a year later - 2023.

The "I love you" scene can make any human cry❤️❤️

I think Tessie trusts Mitsuha's story about comet easily because he likes occult things.

Your Lie in April is a series that's just often brought up in conversations along with Your Name, A Silent Voice, Grave of the Fireflies, Anohana, Clannad, etc...

The chills, it's creeping within me again. This movie is so so good

This is the very first anime(not cartoon) movie that I watched ever. And thanks to kimi no na wa, I am an anime addict now. Especially romance ones. Watched hundreds of romance anime since then. I love watching animes and japanese culture is sth I love in my life. My dream is to travel there someday. Korean dramas are also beautiful though. 😊 please keep reacting similar animes if you haven't yet. Peace. ✌️

This is my favorite romance movie In fact this is my fav movie The track, music, animation, feelings, story all 10/10

Your Name is very high on my best ever movies list, and i don't mean just animated movies.

1200 years before: Comet Tiamat is passing by earth and splitting while 2 parts hit near Itomori village. The larger one creates a hole, which would fill up with water and create Itomori lake. A smaller one hits a nearby mountain top and creates the place for the later to be found shrine. Inbetween the local residents form Itomori village and the Miyamizu shinto priest family founds the vessel for their local deity in the nerby crater to honor the creation of their lake and village. The origins were painted on the inside of the cave, where they would worship their past. 200 years before: A fire sparks in the bathroom of a local resident named Mayugoru. The fire spreads over the village and also the local shrine, where the scrolls of the rituals where stored. The rituals and their meanings are destroyed at this incident and the Miyamizu family keeps continuing their traditions and rituals without knowing their true meaning. ... Miyamizu Hitaba (Mitsuhas grandma) is having dreams of a stranger in her youth, but loses all of her memories. She never finds her "soulmate", but keeps going on passing the family traditions to her later born daughter Miyamizu Futaba. Futaba is having strange dreams in her youth. One is a reoccuring nightmare of Itomori getting destroyed by a comet. Also she seems to switch bodies with an unknown stranger. A few years later she meets a young man from Tokyo, which she would fall in love "on first sight" and marry. She would later tell him about her reoccuring nightmare and that she knew she would marry him, when she first saw him, because she felt she knew him for her whole life. Futaba would have two children: Mitsuha and Yotsuha. Some years later she will die to an unkown illness. Her husband never copes with the loss and leaves the shrine he is supposed to lead, because he was in love with futaba, not the shrine. The two girls stay with her grandmother, who would pass the Miyamizu shrine traditions on them. September 2013: Mitsuha is having strange dreams in which she would live the live of a young boy named Taki, who lives in the city area of Tokyo. For a few weeks they keep switching their bodies while sleeping and living the other ones live. October 2013: The day before the comet is getting at his closest to earth Mitsuha is visiting Tokyo and finds Taki in person, which does not recognize her. She is giving him her braided cords. When she gets back home, she asks her grandma to cut her hair. The next day comet Tiamat is passing earth again and another part is splitting, which hits Itomori village which leads to its total destruction. September 2016: Taki is having strange dreams in which he is living the daily life of a girl named Mitsuha, which lives in the rural area in the town of Itomori. For a few weeks he is switching places with her in his sleep. After a few weeks the switching suddenly stops and does not occur anymore. Taki is despereate to find Mitsuha and starts looking for a way. November 2016: Taki has recreated a few pictures of Itomori town from his very blurred memory. He takes his notes and starts a one-day-trip to the rural area to find the city. He learns, that the city was destroyed in the comet incident three years ago. The next day he is visiting the vessel of the local deity. He wakes up the next day without knowing, why he was there in the first place and returns to Tokyo. Summer 2021: Taki has finished school and is looking for a job. He still has the feeling something is missing in his life and he keeps searching for something or someone. December 2021: Taki expieriences a moment, where he would meet a women on a footbridge, but he feels weird asking a stranger out, so he just keeps going by. April 2022: Taki sees a women on a bypassing train and feels, she is the one he is searching for. The next stop he is leaving the train and running to find her. They meet a few streets away and pass by. Taki finally asks her for her name.

I love watching reactions to this movie and yours was great as well! Most of the things I was gonna say Robert said below, but one thing that I notice every time I watch this movie (that I didn't notice the first time either) is that when Taki calls Mitsuha and she doesn't answer because the comet hit, when you cut back to Taki, it shows a clear view of the sky multiple times to emphasize that they are not in the same time, or you'd see the comet. It's a great detail shown way before the time difference is exposed. I was also surprised the "I love you" on Mitsuha's hand didn't make you cry more. It gets me every time 😭

i just finished this movie yesterday. i am in love with everything about it. the beginning was kind of rocky but the movie hits on all the important notes for me. every scene in this movie feels like a background i can have on my phone/pc. this movie is so well done.

This is my favourite movie out of all the ones I’ve seen. Not jus anime movies but every one. It evokes a powerful emotion every time I watch it or watch a react to it. The music is played on any one of my sad days and it is just such a emotional roller coaster that brings this hope in our lives to light. That some people you are just destined to meet that will brighten your life. Loved your reaction and the tears. I’m showing this to my best friend in a month, I can’t wait to see her reaction to seeing her first non English movie and first anime movie.

A little explanation: Mitsuha's family devoted their lives to the shrine and tradition in Itomori but for generations it was unknown about the reason of the tradition because of the fire disaster grandma mentioned. The point of keeping the ritual and shrine is to prevent the demise of the people of Itomori, the shrine have a picture of the tiamat comet meaning it's already been put in a prophecy. The body swap is the gift of the god for Mitsuha's family and by extent people of Itomori for still keeping the tradition even when it's lost the meaning. Mitsuha's soul was sent to the future asking to help and where do soul attach? To the body of their soulmate of course! Mitsuha's soul asking for help from Taki in an indirect way. So I believe Taki and Mitsuha were always destined to meet because they're soulmates. The same thing probably happens with Mitsuha's mom and dad, and Mitsuha's Grandma and grandpa but they forget most of it because the danger was far away in the future, that's why Mitsuha's dad knew there's different person inside Mitsuha when she grabbed his neck, and Grandma also told that she have similar dream when she's young. Plus the I love You scene is particularly powerful since people don't remember others from what somebody said or do, but by how that person make them feel, that's why Mitsuha can keep going on and convince her mayor dad to evacuate.

Thanks, it's the best movie(not just anime) I've ever seen.

Makoto Shinkai's works have a unique world view and visual beauty. The latest movie will be released next month, so in Japan there are commercials about it almost every day, and people are looking forward to it.

My favorite movie ❤️ i love everything about it, the animation, the soundtrack, the characters ❤️ just perfect

Loved your reaction! Honestly when I first saw this movie I was struck by the animation, but then the story line hit hard too. If you are interested, the same director made another movie “Tenki no Ko” AKA “Weathering with you” which takes place in the same world (Taki and Mitsuha make cameos). Although a little different, “Weathering with you” also follows two teenagers with some supernatural elements mixed in. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it! Then releasing this November in Japan will be a third movie after the events of the second. This reaction got me hyped for the next one coming out!!

The director Makoto Shinkai made another movie called Weathering With You after this one and I love it just as much! I know some people didn’t like it but I think that’s just cause it falls into the trap of people comparing it to how special Kimi No Na Wa is

I always enjoy seeing another person enjoy this movie, it's so well crafted and really tugs at the heartstrings. Beautiful visuals, amazing sound design, compelling story.

I'm 10 minutes into the video and already this is one of the best Your Name reactions I've seen on youtube. Great job!

I definitely recommend A Silent Voice and Howl’s Moving Castle. But also Erased, which is a 13 episode series and probably my favourite animated show of all time even if parts of it did make me cry like a baby

(Sorry in advance for the long post) I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but at the beginning, the slicing of the tomato signifies that it's the next day, where Mitsuha was back in her body. I was very confused the first time I watched it too! Something that the director/creator Makoto Shinkai confirmed later, was that after Taki wrote "I love you" (すきだ - sukida) on Mitsuha's hand, she was actually going to write "I love you" as well... you can tell because Hiragana (one of the Japanese alphabets) have specific stroke orders for characters - Mitsuha writes her "mi" with a curving downward stroke (we see that earlier in the film when she writes it on Taki's hand during her first time in his body), whereas she started a stroke from left to right, which is the first stroke of "su" for "sukida". If you ever rewatch it, you'll notice that Tsukasa and Okudera both are wearing rings at the end. With Tsukasa it was when they were giving Taki crap for his suit in the cafe. There's a physiological response that some people get with music in movies called "frisson" - one way it comes out is via "goosebumps"... there's a video about frisson on YT that I'd highly recommend by KindaNeet. Directors intentionally attempt to draw out those feelings that cause frisson because it's such a powerful feeling. I'm so glad you liked it, because this anime changed my life. It got me into drawing art again, and making it my career.

This movie is a masterpiece. The director is kinda considered the modern Miyazaki. The concept of body swapping was a cool hook but the time twist was awesome. It's a movie that really does move you emotionally and I still cry even when watching reactions to it. I don't think it moves slow at all. You're just following the characters in their lives and then it ramps up when they have to save the town. Not only were her friends in the end there after they saved the town, MItsuha's sister was in a shot with her in a school classroom, 5 years older. The spagetti arms of Mitstuha is actually very "girly", if they aren't used to sports and running, IMO. Guessing someone else probably posted about messages of love not disappearing. They did call out the mayor as being her dad in the beginning of the movie when he was campaigning and called her out to stand up straight. Then they had the flashback with her story and dad leaving and going into politics, leaving the grandmother to raise them. Japan is a very interesting culture steep in tradition and legends. I think that's why their stories are so rich, because they can pull from those ancient stories and put a twist on them. Excellent reaction. You didn't cry as much, but that's okay. I'll have to check out the rest of your channel.

I went on a trip to Tokyo last year and took some photos of some of the real life places from the movie. It is amazing how close they got to the real thing. If you have a social where I can post the pictures I'd be happy to share them. Love this move and I'm glad to see other people enjoying it. Like I said above, the scenes in Tokyo are spot on accurate and, from what I've heard, the area in Nagano that Mitsuha's town is based off of looks pretty close to the movie as well. The small towns and countryside here in Japan are amazingly beautiful and they are some of my favorite places to visit.

Thank you for your reaction Stella! This movie is such a beautiful experience and I'd love for you to see more anime movies as well when you can.

As an individual that’s bilingual in English in Japanese, let me explain 12:42-12:50 for you in depth! She as Taki said “Watashi” in a casual situation. That’s a very feminine term to use _casually,_ and I highlight that because men will use Watashi formally. Then, she jumped to an even stranger term for a teenager to use, “Watakushi” which is typically used by older or more experienced individuals, *NOT* a teen boy talking to his buddies. She realizes this from their expression and jumps to “Boku,” which is a moderately masculine term for self. This wouldn’t be wrong, if not for Taki himself. Taki isn’t really polite and boku is used in casual situations where someone is being a little more uptight or polite. Finally, she jumps to “Ore” which is much more fitting for a loud-mouthed, impulsive teen boy like Taki talking with his buds.

Your laugh is just so pretty!!!👉👈

Before Your Name in Makoto Shinkai's universe, there is the Garden of Words. The story is all about Mitsuha's teacher and her teen lover.

The dance that Mitsuha and her sister Yotsuha perform in the ceremony was actually choreographed by some modern Kabuki dancers hired by the creator expressly for the film. The dance actually tells the story of the comet, how it breaks up, and has done so in the past and will do so again. In the story that meaning was lost, but apparently people who know kabuki who watched the film knew what was was going to happen. If you notice the town was built in a crater, and the "underworld" was also a crater, which had been formed a previous time 1200 years earlier when the comet came by and a piece broke off. Rewatch it and you'll pick up other threads especially if you pay close attention to everything they say. Shinkai is master at hints in his visuals, like seeing Mitsuha's friends and sister in Tokyo at the end but only in passing, but he is also a wordsmith, and the translators did a great job of making sure the English caught the clues from Japanese. This film should go down as one of the all-time greats.

great reaction!!! & fun fact: if taki did end up writing his name on her hand instead of 'i love you' it would've been smudged or erased like the messages on his phone. This is because in Japanese mythology messages of love are protected by the moon goddess, so i love you stayed on her palm. Which is a very cute detail ))

This movie wasn't a sad cry. I love non-sad cries.

The United States is not a country of natives, it's a country of immigrants, that's why it doesn't have traditions, it has people from all over the world living in it, like for example chinese people that go to America take their traditions with them and celebrate their own holidays and stuff like that, same with any other nationality, that's why the United States doesn't have a strong personality and traditions as other countries like Japan, because people don't share the same mentality and traditions

I don't even know how they manage to draw so well. Each image has almost as much detail as reality.

Now you know why this is considered a truly beautiful masterpiece of a film in every way literally!! Also the song at the end is famous too!! Also I just wanted to say that you are very beautiful when you cry and you are both beautiful on the inside and outside too ❤👏🙌👍🎉

A fan wrote an after story that continues from where the credits rolled and follows their story and relationship afterwards, I really liked it and it seemed to follow Makoto shinkai's way of storytelling. If interested I'll try to find and post the URL for it. This movie has the second soundtrack that I've liked enough to buy the CD along with a silent voice.

Fun fact. Some fans found that Tsukasa, Takì's friend, has also a wedding ring in the scene in the cafe in the end, and Shinkai confirmed that Okudera and Tsukasa are married.

This film has been out for a long time since 6 years (2016).. But what's interesting is that the end of the timeline in this film occurs in the spring of this year (2022)!

Studio Ghibli is infamous for killing reaction channels! I heard they wait until three videos are uploaded and then strike all three at once with copyright infringements. Therefore as great as their movies are, I don’t recommend reacting to them. That said, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl‘s Moving Castle are indeed must-watch anime. And you probably also like When Marnie Was Here.

loved the reaction!! idk if this is your first solo reaction but it’s my first time seeing you on a video alone, and i’m happy you’re part of the channel ❤

One thing I don't think enough people talk about is how uniquely Japanese this movie is. The issue of tradition vs modernization is a very big part of the Japanese discourse, and natural disasters as well are unfortunately quite a common occurrence in Japanese history and tie into a lot of the folklore. Obviously art is up to interpretation, but to me this movie seems like a heartwarming message of cultural solidarity across generations, genders, and more - a message that the bonds between people and places are stronger than their differences and stronger than whatever catastrophes may come their way.

There was a Japanese show that reflected on this movie sometime after its release as they noticed its popularity among the older generation keeping it in the movie charts (despite the film being marketed to young adults/teens). They invited some older generation folks to a special screening and placed cameras in the movie theatre towards the audience, then interviewed the people afterwards. Needless to say, many of the old folks were in tears, and noted that the "red string of fate" which is prevalent in Eastern oriental cultures was something they experienced in their own lives - like an invisible bond - some people said they met their spouse/soul mate or found something they were looking for. Here's the segment from that Japanese show back then - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbqjlMl6q9HchKc.html

Super cool thanks for the reaction!

One of my favorite movies that i was just wasnt expecting it to be so amazing when i first heard about that. I remember when it was revealed that Mitsuha was dead by the comet and that it happend three years ago, I was blown away by those twists since I just assumed it was a normal love story with switching bodies. I also didn't expect that mitsuha and her friends to become basically terrorist to save everyone. The director also did Weathering With You which Taki and Mitsuha make a cameo appearance in.

Ooh Princess Mononoke, Ariety I think it's called The Borrowers. And Howl's moving castle.

this video reaction was gold PURE GOLD

The anime movie "Weathering with you" mitsuha and taki made an apearance as cameo, glad that they are married now.

I love this movie and I watched it so many times. OF I rewatched it with your reaction and I got tears again 😢 This music always gets me😖

A Silent Voice Let Me Eat Your Pancreas are others greate anime movie! LMEYP already got live action version!

This movie and "5 centimeter per second" always gets me. Good reaction.

Stella is the best thing that ever happened to this channel

loved it 😍

I'm jealous of you. Cause u can feel the first time watch that movie. I Miss that feeling :'

Every single person I have seen watch this forgot that the very first scene, in the opening credits, has them both as adults in Tokyo thinking about how their is something missing from their lives.

Definitely recommend A Silent Voice. An amazing film. A series that you'd like that is very similar to Your Name is Erased. Won't say to much more about it but it does evoke some of the same feelings as Your Name but told in a diffrent way across 12 episodes. Loved the reaction to my Fav movie of all time ❤️

Thank your reaction I love it.

Go watch "weather with you". Then you will know the ending of Mitsuha and Taki

Your name is my favorite movie ❤️💙💚

a small note about the sake. alcohols are derived from a fermentation process. chewing the rice physically breaks it down along w salivary amylase, an enzyme in the spit, helps chemically. it seems gross now, but that's relative to modern times. the chewing process is still used today w/ some tribes in the amazon and probably various locations around the world.

Its cool how i ain't been in a relationship but can still relate 😃

Man you made me tear again.

Did you miss the part where Mitsuha looks at her hand expecting Taki's name is written on it, but it was "I love you" instead since there was no subtitle.

Your eyes are very pretty. I liked your reaction and analysis!

Great reaction. Hope you react to more films like this.

Spirited away. Howl's moving castle. Are two golden oldies in anime movies.

please react on next anime movie A Silent Voice

No need to hide your tears, even the macho-est guys would get a string pull. Nothing to be ashamed of

12:42 in japanese language , there are many words mean '' I '' . for example ... watashi , watakushi , boku , ore , atashi , uchi , oira , ora(Goku) , oi , wate , temae , sesshya , atai , chin ... we japanese use them differently depending on our position and the situation at the time .

「君の名は」が公開される（2016.8）前に日本で2011.3.11に「 Great East Japan earthquake」がありました。ある日突然に起こった災害です。そこでたくさんの人が災害で亡くなっています。監督の新海誠は本当に起こった災害から「人に伝えるためのメッセージ」としてこの映画を作りました。ただの恋愛映画ではなく共感できる作品を作りたかったといってます。 ＊＊＊＊＊ ――震災以降、日本人みんなが感じているそういった思いと、どこか通じるところがあればということですね。 そうですね。必ずしも、震災までリンクしなくてもいいと思うんです。「自分が誰かだったら」というのは、全ての思いやりや、共感のベースだと思うんですよね。「これはとても辛い」と思って、出会ったこともない人のために寄付をする。会ったことのない人の境遇に、涙を流すこともできる。 それは、エンターテインメントを楽しむうえでの基本的な素養でもあるんです。物語を通じて、人は共感することを学んでいくんだと思います。そこで培われた共感は、現実世界でもきちんと自分の人生を助けてくれる。「もしも自分が自分ではない誰かだったら」という想像力に作用するような物語を作りたいと思っていました。人間の最も大事な能力の一つが、共感であり他者への想像力ですよね。 「世界が少しでもより良くなればいい」という気持ちは、誰の中にもあります。僕も自分の仕事を通じて世界がちょっとでも良くなればいいって気持ちはあるんです。 今回の『君の名は。』を作るときも、この映画によって「もし自分が自分じゃなかったら……」と考えるきっかけになればという思いがありました。たとえば僕は今回『君の名は。』が幸運にもヒットしましたが、『君の名は。』がヒットしなかった自分だって、別の世界にいると思うんですよ。今の自分じゃない自分っていうのは、やっぱりどこかにいます。 www.huffingtonpost.jp/2016/12/20/makoto-shinkai_n_13739354.html

In my mind, the town's Kami was working very very hard to save its people. I like to think it was 'cheating' very hard to manipulate those threads of fate.

Nice reaction ❤

The first time I watched this, it didn't hit me that much. Left me with a very empty feeling and took me a while to process all the information and emotions, but after rewatching numerous times it is truly a great movie. And yes, highly recommend A Silent Voice

I tecently went to Tokyo and yes , i made a pilgrimage to many of the places in Your Name.. it was surreal to be standing at the stairs from the end. Also the station he runs out of is Yotsua and there a few other places around there in the movie. Also Your Name is just a beautiful piece, i lost count of how many times ive watched it

Would totally love to recommend my favourite non-action movie which is "I want to eat your pancreas". Yes it is a weird title. But boi did it win my heart. I only seen Your Name, Silent Voice and 'I want to eat your pancreas' for movies, but i put 'I want to eat your pancreas' on a much higher pedestal of love compared to silent voice and your name for myself ^_^

"Imagine knowing a place like that and just having it gone in a second, the entire town" The 311 tsunami in 2011 that hits a lot of Japanese people and their coast side home towns. 🕯

この映画は愛を可視化した物語です ハッキリ愛が見えたでしょ?

Cowboy Bebop 24 episodes. Go for it!

ive watched this movie 2 or 3 times now in the last year and have watched 2 reactions in the last week, it feels like so much goes on but happens so quick at the same time

Since you mentioned grave of firefly, I would suggest in this corner of the world, this movie is very underrated in the west and it shouldn’t

What a great reaction, your feeling felt very real when you saw the movie! It's the first video I see on your channel, so I'll recommend you another anime movie: A Silent Voice, it's also very good.

This has nothing to do with the movie (which I love dearly), but I love your style and make up in this video. You are literally radiating beauty :)

i havnt seen a reaction for it on this channel, i recommend The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

この作品を観てれてありがとうございます！ 私も大好きな作品です。 あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない というタイトルのアニメがとてもオススメです。是非観てください！

This anime is an emotion, that's how it feels so real.

This is such a good movie, and lovely to watch reactions to. Its beautifully put together, with everything building on top of each other. It just takes a while to find the right angle. For example, Tessie mentions the lake is probably also a comet impact. So is the Shrine, it even has drawings of a splitting comet on its ceiling. Mitsuha's grandma talks about Musubi, which also describes what's happening to her and Taki. She tells Mitsuha (or Taki?) that she has memories of switching places, or perhaps just dreaming of doing so. She mentions the big fire long ago, when the meaning behind the Miyazaki rituals was lost. Rituals like the braided cords (which represent time, but here also act to remind Taki of the shrine). The leaving of 'half your soul' at the shrine, as Sake. Which Taki drinks to meet/switch with his soulmate again. The secret meaning to the rituals is that they will help Taki do the last switch, which is what gives Mitsuha the strength to confront her father and save the village. It is amazing....

First off you are so beautiful 😍. I would say "Me Before You", "Love Jones", "Kate and Leopold" as far as live action romance. "Your Name", "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas" (not really romance but did have some elements), "Weathering With You"-anime movies, "Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions" , "Tsukigakirei", "My Dress Up Darling", "Toradora", "Fuuka" anime series. That's all I can think of at the top of my head

46:20 in the news paper, it was said that there were no casualties. And if you go back and read the words above the subtitles, it said No Deaths and 104 wounded 👍

Here is a URL for "Nandemo naiya," the last song in the movie, performed live by RADWIMPS and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra during the Kimi no Na wa. (Your Name.) Orchestra Concert held at the Tokyo International Forum on December 4-5, 2017. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g5pghqVz2LmneXU.html

I never underestimate anime again since watching Your Name.

This same comet flies by every 1200 years and keeps dropping pieces on this one area. It's like, "%&$* you, this particular area of Japan." The time between is just too great for anyone to realize it keeps happening. Lake the town is built around? Crater. Top of the mountain where the shrine is? Crater. New crater? Also a crater.
