I love how whenever someone reacts to Your Name everyone tells them that they should react to A Silent Voice, and when someone reacts to A Silent Voice everyone tells them to watch Your Name. It's like if the two movies complement each other.

The movie was a huge hit in Japan. It made a new box office record. Cuz 4years before the movie, a big earth quake occurred and over 20 thousand people died in tsunami in japan. At that time alot of people in japan really wished they could go back in time and warn people. The movie was inspired by the disaster. The comet represents the earthquake. Thats why we feel deeply immersed into the movie.

The memory loss is associated with how we tend to forget our dreams minutes after waking up. The fact that the grandma calls the body switch as "dreaming" and Taki and Mitsuha at the beginning of the movie thought the body switch was just dreaming kinda hints at that.

Fun fact: the part when Taki wrote “I love you” in Mitsuhas palm is because everything related to love is protected by the moon goddess (if I’m not mistaken), plus he knew it would disappear if he wrote his name, so he chose something that would stick with her to push her on (like a motivation to keep on): his declaration of love, simply put it like this; knowing that someone out there loves her gives her the strength to carry on, no matter the odds.

1:03:03 They kinda explained the reason for that in the movie. When Taki entered the "underworld" wanting to change the past, he had to leave something behind in exchange: his memories of her. "In exchange for returning to this world, you must leave behind what is most important to you."

"I love you" always hits like a ton of bricks

So there's a manga that was written to supplement this movie and the main story. The real reason that Mitsuha's father finally agreed to evacuate the town was because of one reason, he saw his late wife Futaba in his own daughter. The manga of Your Name: Another Tale Earthbound, shares the backstory of when he first met and married Mitsuha's mother. He originally came to Itomori to study the town's history and culture. And he gave up everything from his life to stay in Itomori, marry Futaba and become part of the town as a shrine priest as the movie states. Futaba performed the same dance that we see Mitsuha and Yotsuha perform in the beginning of this movie. And at this point, after he spent enough time with her, Futaba confessed that for mysterious reasons, she knew that when she first laid eyes on him, something was telling her that she would marry him, no question about it. After they were married and they started their family, Futaba actually described the story about how the lake was formed and that a long time ago, a fragment of the comet caused the crater to form and then the lake was filled in over the years. She actually saw, in her dreams, that the comet was going to strike again and that all the women in her family line had witnessed this particular dream but had no idea of the impending doom. So, when Mitsuha finally returned and tried to ask one last time to evacuate the town, her father saw the spitting image of Futaba, his late wife. Ultimately, all the memories of why he stayed in Itomori came flooding back in that moment. It was because of his family that he tried to work so hard. As fate would have it, he was the head of the town and able to get everyone to evacuate. Not only did Mitsuha help save the citizens of Itomori with Taki's help, but this implies that Futaba also could rest easy as her role as one of the shrine maidens of her family was fulfilled as well.

Some people don’t understand why Taki and Mitsuha react like stranger when they finally met up at staircase , and they even nervously walk by each other . Actually that was first time they have meet in REAL person , not in soul switched or the Twilight moment . They CAN’T remember each other name or face, they just have a same kind of feeling “ searching for someone or something “ ( has been mentioned for few times in movie ) So in that staircase scene , Taki and Mitsuha were totally stranger to each other for no doubt . The story trying to tell us ... sometimes , you will know he/she is the RIGHT person when you make eyes contact , we should be courage to make the first step , believe in your senses , grab your love and don’t let it slip away . You guys are cool , thank you for react to this beautiful movie :)

In Japan, twilight is called 黄昏 (tasogare), which originally means 誰そ彼 (Who are you?) because twilight is the time when it becomes dim and hard to identify people in the old days. And actually, there is a scene in the beginning, which Mitsuha is learning this in class. I'm Japanese so sorry if my English is wrong. Love your reaction!!

Mitsuha was from 2013, Taki is in 2016. They are set 3 years apart.

This was the first time I noticed Taki is about the same height as Mitsuha when they meet in the train and noticeably taller than her when they meet on the mountain. Cool way to show how time passed for him.

Fun fact: the teacher talking about twilight at the start is one of the two protagonists of one of Shinkai’s other movies, Garden of Words.

Fun Fact: The Director revealed in an interview that Ms. Okudera (the older lady Taki had a crush on) ends up getting engaged to Taki's friend Tsukasa, the boy who went on the trip to find Mitsuha. I guess they bonded over the course of the trip, and started dating?

Fun fact: A lot of the scenes in the movie were designed to almost exactly match real locations in Japan. The studio visited those places and took photos. Then, they animated those scenes in order to match the true beauty of Japan.

RADWIMPS knocked it out of the park with the soundtrack on this. It really completes and complements the film. The scene and music where Mitsuha goes to Tokyo and finds Taki on the train is my favorite scene of the film. It is so well done.

I like how Will is a big sensitive bear haha

One thing never changes, after watching Your Name, you'd be left silently staring in the screen or in the air, pondering what just happened, and how a masterpiece of a movie you just watched.

If you're all gonna react to sad shit then A silent voice, Anohana, your lie in april and Violet evergarden all better be on your list of things to watch. Mandatory sad animes.

Dude on the right: "Is it gonna be over?" Dude in the middle: *with killing intent* "Don't you fucking dare"

A silent voice is a must watch really

"That day" "Founding Titan" 🤣🤣

This always makes my cry, that "i love you" in the hand....

I'm impressed on how you guys picked up the puzzle pieces sprinkled all throughout the movie which made it much more enjoyable to watch. Some manly tears may have been shed in the process.

I've watched over every Your Name reaction, THANK THE LORD I FOUND THIS

17:40 yes, Mitsuha did want to go on that date. but not in place of Taki. the reason she's crying is because she's thinking about Taki going out with another woman. she just hasn't realized her own feelings for him yet, or rather she does in that exact moment.

I was absolutely blown away by the fact that the promotion campaign didn't spoil the twist! It's 2017 for us Westerners and we are so used to seeing 90% of the movie in the trailers, but they got me and hopefully many of you too.

He falls out of his bed because she sleeps on the floor lol

"That" scene hits you like a truck. I love seeing each reaction to this movie as people try to figure out the plot midway through the first half, and often they get stuff mostly right. It's well crafted that the audience figures enough out to assume what's going to happen next and then the twist gets you. (Also personally while I prefer subs, the dub of this actually pretty solid, there's only a few scenes where I think the choice of English dialogue doesn't quite capture the same feeling as what the original Japanese dialogue was going for, but even then it's still high quality with good casting choices for the voice actors.)

I was traumatized by "5cm per second" by the same author, so I thought the ending of "Kimi no Na wa" was gonna be similar to that. Thank God it's not😅

One movie that is absolutely lovely is A Silent Voice

Crazy to think that 2021 is the year when Taki and Mitsuha finally meet. The time since I watched the movie in 2016 to now is how long it took for Taki to meet Mitsuha. But time really flies, I still remember the plot of Your Name so vividly.

this movie is the only thing that ACTUALLY made me ugly cry, i dont react to emotions in movies but EVERY time i watch this i fucking cry, this and the demon slayer movie just perfectly encapsulate human emotions and the ways people think in situations PERFECTLY right up to the LAST second and the best part is that it spoils the ending like 5 seconds in but theres NO WAY youd understand the spoiler if you hadnt already watched it xD

you guys need to watch some ghibli movies too i would love it

Oh you guys have to react to A Silent Voice

"Oh no Copyright Music" "F*** it, it's too beautiful"

Movies i personally would like to recommend: > Silent Voice > Weathering with you > I want to eat your pancreas > Josee, The Tiger and the fish > Maquia: When The Promised flower bloom

Silent Voice and Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. Great for making you cry!

The voice actors are so good

FYI: People in Japan have some cultural thing for helping people looking for a ride. My friend visited Japan twice and both times he traveled by asking people for a ride. Almost every driver was willing to go out of their way to drive him to the place he was looking for even when it was literally in the opposite direction.

I am japanese, and i really enjoyed your reaction! "Weathering with You" was made by the same director. Please watch it!

Thank you for your emotional reactions and cool comments, I say as Japanese movie director.

27:55 Fun Fact: The creator of Your Name, Makoto Shinkai did say he got the inspiration from Interstellar -- Love transcends dimension ❤

he literally could connect the dot, first he mentioned the difference timeline, and the bracellet. the dude is genius.. my firt time watching iam so confused while sad.. imagine being confused, sad, and you dont know what to do.

all the emotions were sooooo raw here i love this reaction. i love watching reactions. it's an odd feeling to see how a movie can bring out the same emotions in other people.

Wow ...a very amazing surprise for us non-patreon gang😅😅

I first saw this movie since I loved previous works from Makoto Shinkai (the director) and, well... he's known for doing break-up kind of movies so I totally thought the movie was going to end with them separated. Lord, I was throwing punches at the air when I realized this was his first happy ending type of a movie.

This was such a good reaction!! Love how engaged everyone was to the movie ❤️

What "weathering with you", it is same universe of the movie "your name"

People have been sleeping on Weathering with You! It's an absolutely gorgeous film from the same creator of Your Name! A SIlent Voice is also a masterpiece you may want to check :)

I think I’ve finally figured out why this movie always leaves me feeling so empty after I watch it; it’s the not knowing. And by that, I don’t mean US not knowing. I mean THEM not knowing. Taki and Mitsuha go on an incredible adventure together. They meet through the most fantastic means by switching bodies. Through this, they learn more about the other than one could ever possibly hope to learn from another person by any conventional means. Because of this, and their extended time switching places, they fall in love. They attempt to meet each other, they find out that time has been out of sync and they’re actually separated by 3 years, they learn that Mitsuha died in the disaster with Tiamat, and Taki gives everything just for the chance to save her. They finally meet face to face for the first time during twilight, but it cannot last because Mitsuha has to go back to her own time and Taki to his. They are separated again without the chance to even say goodbye and their memories of each other and the experiences they shared quickly begin to fade, until they are left with only the knowledge that there is someone precious to them that they didn’t want to forget, but they no longer know who that person is. They spend the next several years with this feeling that they lost something dear to them and searching for the answer. Of course, the ending is happy, and they do reunite. They know they have found the person they have been looking for, but those memories are gone forever. It hurts me so much to bear witness to everything that has happened throughout the film, to watch these characters grow and fall in love, only for them to lose the memories of what they went through, for Mitsuha to not remember how she had once died and was saved by Taki’s intervention, for Taki to not remember the journey he went through to be able to see his love face to face for the first time and give her the means to save herself, and for neither to remember the love they shared for so long when they were still barely more than children. To be able, as the viewer, to know everything that has happened, but not be able to tell the characters what their story was is so painful. I’m just glad that, in the end, they did find each other again. And they knew at that moment that they had found the person to fill the void in their heart

You guys should definitely check out "A Silent Voice" & "Weathering With You"!

Just 3 bros trying not to cry in front of each other when Mitsuha opens her hand.

I love your reaction. it's so pure. love to see ppl cry over this movie. it was great, isn't it? they build up the atmosphere so good it makes the movie so amazing and you want to follow to the end.

こんにちは。日本から、これを見つけました！ 日本のアニメを観てくれてどうもありがとう！ 楽しんでくれて、感動してくれて、私も再び涙を流しました。 これからも日本のアニメを好きでいてください！ また会いに来ますね！

FYI: This was made, in dedication to the TSUNAMI victims 2010 if I remember correctly.

Adam, Will and Sam. A fun fact: This movie made over $350M US Dollars Box Office WORLDWIDE!!!

43:27 I couldn't relate more at this part lol Great reaction btw. Please watch a silent voice next... I'm sure you guys will love it.

I was just so bored.. Thank y'all for this. Your Name is one of my favorite movies ever.

真ん中の奴かっけえな！ジョニーデップか！！ グッドリアクションだった！

"I didn't know you could turn rice in acholol" Wait, what did you think sake was? lmao

At the beginning, the mic placement made me think the middle guy had a prosthetic leg xD

リスニング出来ないので字幕無しのリアクション動画は初めて見ましたが、十分に気持ちが伝わってきました☺️ ジャンルが合わずに退屈しないかな？と失礼ながら最初は心配していましたが、鑑賞後にこれだけたくさん語って下さってすごく感激です✨ 素晴らしい時間でした☺️ありがとうございました✨

oh man, that was the best reaction I saw from this movie, laugh a lot

a silent voice is next hahahaha … it’s basically a must if u react to your name

the ending always put a tear on the side of my eye

I literally smelled what the comments would look like 😭 everyone suggesting a silent voice next.

9:10 of course you can it has carbs. Carbs = sugar yeast loves sugar and farts CO2 after eating it, creating ethanol in the procces. You can have alcohol from any type of sugar.

Please watch Silent Voice next ...is so good

I.m cryyyiiiinnnnnngggg!!!!😭😭😭😭Thank you so much ,guys!!!

Great video! Absolutely loved it! All of your guys’ reactions are so sweet and genuine

As always, I loved your reaction guys! I still tear up every time I watch it even though I’ve seen it three times already ; a masterpiece.

I cried again. God damn you guys!

If the final scene doesn’t make your heart jump…you have none.

I love how every your name reaction video, there are comments about a silent voice, and i'm here for it. both movies are so good

Glad KZfaq recommended this to me. Love this movie and can tell from the edits that I'll enjoy this channel.

日本人としてすごく見てくれて嬉しいです。これをきっかけにもっと日本の映画を知ってもらえると嬉しいな🥲💞💞

damn adam´s mustache is awesome

“It would be cute to see them meet” Me: eheheh… if only

You guys should definitely check out Steins;Gate. One of the best time travel stories I've seen.

I would love to see you guys tackle some dramatic Shoujo! Fruits Basket and Violet Evergarden are two that come to mind that you guys would have a lot of fun discussing!

Man, I would love to have some friends like you guys to watch these awesome kinds of movies and shows. Even though I think you guys try to predict the movies or shows too much during the episodes or film. but it is also awesome to see the way you guys interperred the information. i enjoy this kind of reactions really much.

Another great reaction video, guys! Looking at the other comments, so many people have recommended A Silent Voice, so perhaps you guys have your next movie to react to! 😅 As well as that, I'd recommend Weathering With You. It's by the same director/creator as Your Name (Makoto Shinkai) and has a similar vibe, while still being different.

Mad respect for keeping the emotional scene in even if it means the video will be claimed.

One of the most famous and successful anime films of all time!!!!

I love how invested they were all throughout hahaha. Loved the reaction!

your name is def amazing! no matter how many times i rewatched it it always felt like i was watching it for the first time. i think you guys would love 'weathering with you' if u loved your name!! definitely recommend it :D

Amazing breakdown of the movie…one of the most relatable and intelligible discussion of the movie by far! Good job guys!!!

Really glad you watched ‘Your Name’ first! Probably my favourite anime movie - although there are some great contenders! Great reaction as always.

Had a great time re-living this movie with you guys. Feel the same exhilaration every time I watch this movie. Waiting for the director's latest movie, Suzumi No Tojimari, which came out on 11-Nov

42:00 みんなが助かったと知って自分の事のように喜んでくれてる やさしいですね

such a great reaction and discussion at the end! greatly enjoyed yall's reaction a lot!

HAVE U GUYS REACTED TO SPIRITED AWAY OR HOWLS MOVING CASTLE YET ???

Even if our mind forget, out heart will always remember

I’m glad you reacted to this film. It’s one of my favourites. 👍

ive always thought that the guy who drives taki was tessie's dad

I really didn't expect any of what this movie offered. This shit had be happy, frustrated, anxious, sad and crying. Feeling wholesome at the end. Different but just as good as silent voice

That Majin Buu necklace is 🔥

What a nice reaction guys! Thank you for this video! Cant wait to enother reaction videos

you guys are awesome

日本人として あなた達 3人は最高だ
