- Your Name has captured the anime community more than almost any other anime in recent years. In this video I look into how the film achieved such impressive success and critical reception.

Easy answer for me: The soundtrack. RADWIMPS absolutely knocked it out of the park. All of the most powerful moments of the film were accompanied by an equally powerful piece of music, which honestly, makes all the difference. It's that amplification of the moment that ingrains it into your emotions and nostalgia. I will forget the details of this movie, I won't forget how it made me FEEL. The fact that I can tap into that feeling instantly by listening to a piece of music is the best part. That's what captured me.
It makes me so sad nobody talks about the scene that absolutely broke me. I wrote a lot about it when I first saw the film, which was more than 9 months ago and perhaps fittingly I forgot a lot of the fine details that would evoke emotional response in other viewers. In the third act everything is so hectic which gives a whiff of all these different ideas and genres, and saying it's unfinished or unwarranted is a fair assessment. However there is that sliver of peace and quiet at the top of the volcano where Mitsuha and Taki finally meet. Not only is that scene so warm and comforting itself, but the moment their pen drops I felt the whole world stopped for a second. And we're straight back into this downward spiral of chaos as Mitsuha runs to her village which gives the ensuing downfall such a real, kinetic feel. Especially when she trips and falls, her rolling over takes all the momentum out of that truly exhilarating scene. And at the moment she looks at her hand you realise that nobody can save Itomori anymore, but an even bigger predicament is that she can't remember Taki's name only because at that safe haven only minutes ago at the top of the volcano they allowed themselves to be silly children madly in love and he wrote that he loved her. So even though you feel Itomori and all these people you grew to care for are doomed, as stupid as it is, none of that matters as much as Mitsuha's seething feelings for Taki. Honestly, that all happens in a couple of minutes, and I forgot a lot of the details, but I simply cannot forget what a dynamic artistic phrase those two scenes of opposing fates enclose. Surprisingly, the film goes on for a long time after that from what I remember, and I just felt like none of that mattered anymore. I felt empty and wasn't truly following anymore, and picked up on important plot-points and the true weight of the final scene only in my second viewing. It's not a perfect film and there is no point really in expecting or claiming that, but it perfectly talked to me and I will never forget it for it. <3
I think that Your Name is much more enjoyable if you have watched (and enjoyed) Makoto Shinkai's previous work, especially 5 Centimeters per Second.
That ending was not perfect ? How was it not ? lol it was the best ending i've seen in ages
What I emjoyed about the movie was that while watching it I felt like it could end at any moment. I think that is why the ending was so well recieved for being so quick
When I watched Your Name, it had been so hyped up by most of my friends and the community that it kinda fell flat for me. I mean I liked it, but I don't think its the best anime, or even animated movie out there. Good video explaining why so many people like it though!
'Your Name' is a masterpiece by Makoto Shinkai........ I was fortunate to be born in 21st century and watch such a beautiful movie......This movie will be in my heart...... Forever
personally I liked the ending. This is because we know the type of people that the main characters are, and the feelings they had. So when they saw each other there is an implicit end to the story. I dont think showing them go on a date, or hang out, or catch up, would have made the movie that much better.
Unpopular opinion, but I don't think this is the 'greatest anime film ever', but I really really enjoyed it. Also luckily I watched it before the hype started so I had no expectations.
I think the reason why Your Name got as popular as it did is that it has a lot more mainstream appeal than Shinkai's other works. Shinkai films are undeniably beautiful, but the stories aren't as optimistic or exciting as a lot of other films, and this keeps it from having mainstream appeal. 5cm per Second in particular while still rather popular, doesn't have a kind of definitive happy ending that general audiences are looking for. It also doesn't have any big plot details to excite the audience, and it doesn't have a plotpoint with a hook like Your Name does. Your Name on the other hand has all these things. Your Name has a big plot twist and it has an initial plotpoint (body-switching) that people are able to immediately grasp. It has the whole comet thing to keep the movie exciting as well near the end. It also has a romance that has a happy ending. This coupled with the fantastic art that Shinkai is known for set Your Name up for mainstream success. It's clearly a much more grand and ambitious film than his other works and this caught the attention of audiences. However, due to the movie's ambition, that left a lot of room for flaws to sink in, which I personally found to hurt the quality of the movie, even if it doesn't diminish it's popularity.
What made Your Name appealing to me, is mostly how the music helped greatly in telling the story. Every scenario has a musical accompaniment that fit perfectly. Coupled with amazing visuals, it is easy for me to forgive its most basic plot holes. So much so that I was willing to make my own explanations as to why these characters never even bothered to ask basic questions during the time their bodies swapped.
I adored the film personally. Of course it has flaws, no piece of media can come out unscathed, but there is certainly something to be said about how well it captivates and engrosses you in a pretty gorgeous love story. They execute on montage absurdly well through the entirety, and the ending, man, my heart was Goin crazyyyyyy with the buildup.
I had no idea people were hating on this film! I went in completely blind with a group of 8 people and we were all blown away. The timing of the music, the art and the big time twist just made it my favorite anime film in recent years (the last two I'd watched were Arrietty and Kaguyahime which completely let me down). This is also coming from someone who loves romance, so I'm the target audience for this type of story... but I feel the charm holds up for the rushed feeling of the ending. It simply built up my anticipation of how it was going to end. And for those who wanted an unhappy ending, I feel like this is one of those 'damned if you do/damned if you dont' kind of scenario. I do love tragic endings to romance but in this instance if all the build up to them meeting ended up falling flat it would have felt like the most drawn out c0ck block of a romance...
Had a lot of fun both writing this video and discussing Your Name. Please post whatever thoughts you have about the movie in the comments, i'm interested to see what everyone's stance on the movie is. I'm sure it will be an interesting mixed bag...
The back-third complaints seem so off to me, because I don't feel like there was ANYthing missing.
Yesterday, I watched Your Name the 2nd time, and yet I'm still amazed by its beautiful animation and its wonderfully arranges plot as well as unexpected twists. This is by far the anime of the decade hands down

Your name is a genius
I liked the pacing of the movie throughout. The slow intro leads well into the chaos that ensues. The more rushed ending helped a bit, too, since this movie does such a brilliant job at making your heart hurt. My biggest issue with pacing was that they didn't allow enough time for the chaos of the saving of the town, where we got very little.
For me I think Makoto Shinkai created lightning in a bottle. It is the imperfections and the odd way of storytelling against what AnimeEveryday think Makoto Shinkai should have done. It shouldn't have worked but it did perfectly and with unexpected results!
