Fun fact. The music playing when Taki goes on the date with Okudara, is called theme of Mitsuha. We hear it bc Taki is really thinking about Mitsuha the entire time, and thats when he realizes he loves her.
yes and no, because there are 3 pieces of music with very similar or even same melody: Theme of Mitsuha, Date, and Date 2. When Taki was dating Okudara, the music was "Date". When Mitsuha went to Tokyo to find Taki, the music was "Date 2".
I liked your attention to the detail of not only the story but the production here. I like seeing cinephiles get into anime bc they often bring a perspective a lot of anime fans kind of miss--and its a perspective that anime deserves to be analyzed through. Your Name is probably one of the single most technically impressive productions to come out of the medium--its background art and animation is really just astonishing. From here though, I have to recommend you go back in time a bit to some of the classics if youre interested in exploring the medium further. Akira is a name you may have heard of before--its a foundational film in the sci-fi/cyberpunk genre, anime or otherwise. Incredibly, incredibly influential work to western film as well. Other than that, Perfect Blue is one I think everyone has to see. It is imo maybe the most well directed anime film out there by director Satoshi Kon, an undisputed genius who unfortunately passed away all too soon. As a psychological thriller, its one of the most tense films I've ever seen and it uses all kinds of directorial tricks to create a really unique, borderline-arthouse film experience, if youre interested in that. And then of course there are Studio Ghibli films as well, like Spirited Away, which was the first ever foreign film to win best animation at the Oscars.
@@juanito46101 Perfect Blue is the third recommendation I gave him after I requested Your Name. The second one is A Silent Voice. It will probably take him a while as he mentioned to me.
This was a really wonderful experience getting to see your first time watching anime. You were so open to the medium and fully participating, I loved that. You reading out the subtitles was really cute & earnest haha. It didn't detract from the experience at all in the end, thank you for taking the extra time & effort to edit around that so carefully. This video was a great first impression for your channel for me. Respect for putting your whole heart into trying something new!!
I love it when there's a research segment afterwards. You gained a sub. There's so much great animated content out there. Hope you get a chance to watch some more.
This is suchhhhhhh a good choice for a best anime. This movie is becoming an instant classic. Also, I love the effort with the editing and constant observations of smaller details.
As someone who has lived in Japan for 10 years, I'd say you did well with the pronunciation! British English is closer to Japanese in terms of pronunciation than American English is, so I'd say you've got an advantage! The director of this movie actually got his start in independent films. As in, his animated the entire thing himself! That's easy to do these days with modern animation software, but he did it back in the early 2000s using Photoshop! "Voices of a Distant Star" and "She and Her Cat" are two of the movies he made. Also, brief translation note for 11:24, since it's impossible to translate. What's happening here is Taki/Mitsuha used the personal pronoun of "watashi" when he/she spoke, but clearly the real Taki doesn't use "watashi". So he/she starts cycling through various pronouns until finally arriving on "ore" which is apparently the correct answer!
I'll recommend the 'series' of this 1. Your name, 2. Weathering with you, 3. Suzume Also You may love Silent voice, I want to eat your pancreas, The Garden Of Words, a whisker away, the wind rises, the boy and the beast, from up on poppy hill, when Marnie was there, grave of the fireflies
No problem Erich! I loved this one, the story is beautifully made. Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching along with me! I hope you're well and had a wonderful new year so far
I love the commentary. Most of the other reaction videos I've seen the people just sit there staring at the screen and I don't understand what the point of even watching the reaction is. But your commentary made it interesting.
its been a while since it watch full YT video. its always fantastic to see people never watching anime, start by watching this. this movie is my all time fav. thank you for sharing your experience.
本当にありがとう！ こちらこそ。問題ないよ！私の日本語がかなり正確だったか、分かりやすかったか、期待しています。 これからも大好きになると確信しています！物語、芸術、文化、言葉はとても美しい。見てくれて、コメントしてくれて、本当にありがとう！ P.S.これはDeepL翻訳機で翻訳しました。もしご存知でしたら _____ The english version of what I translated (just in case) is: Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words! Good day to you too. No problem at all! Hopefully my Japanese was fairly accurate or easy to understand. I'm sure I will continue to love it! The stories, art, culture and language are so beautiful.

Yes, the fermenting process is a real thing. In Egypt they call it Egyptian beer. They use a bean instead of rice. they get together and chew the bean, and then spit it into a community pot. Good stuff, good time's.
I will be a meanie but I honestly can't recommend it, it's a decent movie and art style and voice design are beautiful, but definitely a sharp downgrade from Your Name, not to mention that it's also massively overrated. Your Name definitely stuck the landing with its over-dramatic moments, but in Silent Voice it actually made annoyed more than anything, not to mention the main female lead of Silent Voice (can't remember her name and can't be bothered to look it up) has NOTHING on Mitsuha, and she mostly is just a plot device and not actually character. All I gonna say is people with hearing issues and mental illnesses deserve better representation than a bully and walking plot device, whose only personality trait is her disability. like dog you want to be viewed like more than your issues? show that you have a personalty. Just my opinion. However, if you want a decent story about a disabled character I would recommend Violet Evergarden anime (just skip Violet Evergarden The Movie), it is smart, gorgeous, the main character is brilliant and has a lot of morally gray characters that are actually decent and well made.
Wonderful movie..Very surprised you have not followed it up with the anime movies "A Silent Voice" and "Weathering With You"..."Weathering With You" being a kind of sibling movie to "Your Name"...(Taki & Mitsuha make cameos). "A Silent Voice" covers a tough subject...but is beautifully portrayed..I do very much enjoy Japanese music..even though I do not understand or speak it. So much so..I visited Japan twice last year from the UK to see my favourite Japanese band "BAND-MAID" (an all female rock band) live.. Also during my second trip..I visited a number of real life anime locations used for some of my fav shows..."Super CUB", "Non Non Biyori", "Bocchi The Rock", "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" and "Mitsuboshi Colors"...Would love to have done more...but time and money always a factor.
BRILLIANT reaction. Now you need to watch 'Weathering With You'. And then all of Shinkai's other movies, they're all absolutely glorious in every way 🥰
the timeline 1. she (3 years ago) time travel to him, knowing him, then she went tyoko to find him and give him bracelet (the linkage between them) 2. he 3 years later time travel to her (back to 3 years ago) and save her town Her Grandma, Mom, her work for god in the shrine, representative of god, after the ceremony, god listen to her wish (making him a tyoko boy) Seems 3 of them have experied to go to other's body(her grandma said), What his father said was "your illness is from your grandma side" , her mom must say/act something strange when she was youNG
There are more trivias.. For example, the teacher of Japanese literature on Mitsuha school is the protagonist of a previous Movie he made called "The garden of Words." XD. Is ok to see any Ghibli movie, they are masterpieces, both the movies of Miyasaki and the movies directed by Takahata. But we can say the modern exponent of anime directors are Makoto Shinkai, Mamoru Hosoda and Mari Okada. In the 90s the top was by far Mamoru Oshii, sadly he die, but he left us some of the most influential pieces of cinema, Ghost in the Shell, Perfect Blue, Paprika, Patlabor 2, Jin Roh, Angel Egg... / ¡More trivia! Makoto Shinkai made his first anime movie by himself on his home computer, is called Hoshi no Koe, he even voiced the main protagonist and her GF at that time the girl protagonist. XD. You can see the "theme" of his style even there and how he evolved throu time. My fav movie of him is "5cm per second" Is basically Kimi no na wa but with a sad ending and the short "Kanojo no Kanojo no Neko."
24:45 Internationally everyone goes on about Kobe beef, but inside Japan everyone knows deep down that Hida beef is much, much better! (Although I might be slightly biased)
6:19 The places called “Pubs” in Japan are quite a bit different from the places called Pubs back in the UK. If you do eventually make it to Japan, feel free to drop me a line and I’ll happily take you to one.
If this is your first ever, well... You've just started down a really deep rabbit hole! Think of these as films in their own right, with genres and sub-genres to suit every kind of audience.
You're right about cinematography in anime but this also applies in videos games as well. There are a lot of animes that made me cry but also video games.
I'm surprised no one's recommending A Silent Voice here! I've seen debate over whether this movie or that is better, and tbh I like A Silent Voice more. But yeah, I highly recommend it if you liked this movie!
It was the second recommended movie I gave him after Your Name (I was the one who requested this on his Patreon), and he said he will work on it once his backlog of other reaction vids he has not put up yet is done :)
I personally don't like comparing the two. While they are considered slice of life and romance, but one is more rooted in the fantastical idea of a fated lover and utter impossibility while the other is more-so rooted in reality and real life possibilities. Being someone that suffers from anxiety, depression and a small amount of paranoia due to OCD "A Silent Voice" for sure has a special and relatable place for me, but at the same time "Your Name" speaks to the romantic in me that wants that perfect romance that seemingly comes out of no where. They both deliver on what they want to get across, they're both beautifully animated, the only up that I can give to "Your Name" is the soundtrack.. it's just more memorable to me, but again not really meaning to compare.
@@Krim04that part. I can relate to A Silent Voice as someone who has a cocktail of mental disorders, but to a personal level, I relate more to Weathering With You because it’s a movie about clinging in desperation just to feel alive, both on Hina and Hodaka’s part, though mostly on Hodaka’s part (Hodaka and I have similar backgrounds e.g. abusive parents, moving away by myself at an early age, broke, etc.) and it sheds light on how risks are basically nonexistent to someone who is grasping for straws just to feel something… anything.
5:16 tell me I'm crazy.. but, is that teacher from the Garden of Words????? I mean, she looks very similar to her and at the end of the movie, didn't she mentioned going somewhere country side? ❤
It is a bit unfortunate that you watched this as your very first anime because it is by far the best anime ever, and others might disappoint by comparison. That said, do also watch Spirited Away and Kiki's Delivery Service and Weathering with You and Whisper of the Heart and something by Mamoru Hosoda. P.S. You did a great job catching on to the plot points early on.
@@nguyentai464, yes, but I'm still 7 years younger than Miyazaki-san. I have watched most of Mamoru Hosoda's work, all of Makoto Shinkai's, including She and Her Cat, one film by Naoko Yamada, and the last movie by Satoshi Kon. I do not go in for series though (except Violet Evergarden). And I still say Your Name (Kimi no Na Wa) is the best.
Be careful with Studio Ghibli! Studio Ghibli is infamous for killing reaction channels! That said, their movies are indeed fantastic. I highly recommend Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. I just don’t recommend doing a reaction video on these movies.
The endless debate about whether something animated from Japan can not be anime and whether something not from Japan can be anime. All the while, in Japan =everything= animated is anime 😝
31:15 the subs are wrong here, Taki never says "Mitsuha", he says "aitsu" which would mean "them" (singular, gender neutral). I hate it when subs make shit up and destroy cohesion.

yes and no, because there are 3 pieces of music with very similar or even same melody: Theme of Mitsuha, Date, and Date 2.
When Taki was dating Okudara, the music was "Date".
When Mitsuha went to Tokyo to find Taki, the music was "Date 2".

The voice actor for Taki is currently playing the leading role in Godzilla Minus One.
Oh, that's awesome! Thank you for letting me know. Apologies for the very late reply, but thank you for watching too
This is suchhhhhhh a good choice for a best anime. This movie is becoming an instant classic. Also, I love the effort with the editing and constant observations of smaller details.
Can I recommend "Weathering With You" as a next watch? The main characters of "Your Name" make a cameo in it.. they're my two favorite movies
It's crazy how many things you unknowingly predicted 😅
Glad you liked it!

Two other films by Makoto Shinkai that you might also enjoy "Weathering With You "and "Suzume No Tojimari" are wonderful films as well.
It was so much fun to re-watch it alongside with you :)
Thank you so much for being here with me Karolina! I'm glad you enjoyed it too. It's a great film!
I love your reaction, thank you for making this video so I can rewatch this movie with you
No problem Erich! I loved this one, the story is beautifully made. Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching along with me! I hope you're well and had a wonderful new year so far

Glad that you really catch any detail in anime. Yea, this is one of the best anime i've ever watch. We love Makoto Shinkai
Next anime please the silent voice you will like it too and overwhelmed
YOU NEED TO DO "A SILENT VOICE"/"SHAPE OF VOICE" NEXT PLEASE
its been a while since it watch full YT video. its always fantastic to see people never watching anime, start by watching this. this movie is my all time fav. thank you for sharing your experience.

I always say that it's a shame that people didn't watch 5 centimeters per second before Your Name. Hits differently.
I remember sobbing and saying “Don’t you dare 5 cm/s me!” during the last few minutes of this movie.
Ryunosuke Kamiki, the voice of Taki Tachibana, is in the leading role of Godzilla Minus One, which is currently dominating American screens.
You're right about cinematography in anime but this also applies in videos games as well. There are a lot of animes that made me cry but also video games.
