Posted on at


Have you ever loved a movie that it stuck on you every since you watched it? That’s what I felt after watching Kimi No Nawa. It is just so good that I wanted to see it again and again. I am going to be obsessed with this anime.

Here is a background of the movie: Kimi No Nawa or Your Name in english was directed by Makoto Shinkai and animated by CoMix Wave Films. It is a Japanese young adult fantasy films and originated from a novel written by the same director. The movie was first released in Los Angeles at an Anime Expo 2016 convention last July 13, 2016 and later in Japan on August 26, 2016.

The movie is about two teenagers: Mitsuha Miyamizu and Taki Tachibana. These two teens are both high school students. Mitsuha residing in the countryside while Taki is living in the city of Tokyo. There life changed when they swapped bodies.This started a series of humorous events that made me love both this characters.

Everything about the story is just awesome. These are the things I like about this movie.

The Characters. Yes! They are so adorable. If they are real people I wanted to give each of them a hug. Moreover, the characters ( even the supporting ones) are all memorable, as if a magic was casted in me that their existence was deeply engraved in my memories.


The Setting. Japan! The Land of the Rising Sun where cherry trees bloom. I wanted to visit there, hopefully. In the movie, I am impressed by how the traditions of Japan are shown.

The Animation. Hands down to the animators for a job will done. It is so refreshing and appealing to the eyes.Every frames of the film is kind of wallpaper worthy for me. A great story with an awesome animation, what more can I ask for? Here's the trailer:


The Story. Superb! Makoto Shinkai is really an outstanding author for making this kind of story. It was the best rollercoaster of emotions I experienced as to date. He really made this story a masterpiece. Thank you so much for this Senpai. Bravo!

Music. I don’t understand it but it really suits the movie. I still have that last song syndrome because of it. Here's the official soundtrack of the movie:


Overall, I love everything about this movie. I am not going to get tired of declaring it: I LOVE KIMI NO NAWA!. Even though you’re not a fan of anime, just watch it. I am sure you will never regret it.
