Review After Recommendation: A Timeless Masterpiece: A Review of "Kimi no Na wa" (Your Name)

Your Name" After reading his review, I went on Netflix to search for the anime and luckily it was there so I added it to my playlist.Hello Anime lovers, it's another week for weebs to gather and talk about things they love. Some weeks ago I came across a review in the community by @coderaikiri talking about an anime Titled "

I am happy I remembered his name this time.

I have gotten two recommendations from The Anime Realm and I must say, the members have good taste in anime because "Kimi no Na wa" was one of the best anime I have watched, which made me teary. I am not a fan of watching anime movies except it is a series and has a movie but I think "Kimi no Na wa" has changed my perspective.

Just this morning, I learned that the anime has a 98% rotten tomatoes review, 4.9/5 on Crunchyroll and 8.4/10 on IMBd. Do you know how impactful an anime has to be for it to get such a rating?

About the anime.

Kimi no Na wa" (Your Name) is a breathtakingly beautiful anime film that has captivated people's hearts worldwide with its poignant storytelling, memorable characters, and stunning animation, and I discovered this after reading more about it and doing some in-depth research. The movie was directed by Makoto Shinkai; the movie was released in 2016, and it came out as a masterpiece.

One thing I love about the anime is the music, the use of sounds made everything in the anime so beautiful. The anime theme song is a trending song that many people love and as an anime fan, you must have heard it somewhere. Trust me.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Radwimps, is a song that carries the narrative of the story and has so many emotions to it. The theme song, "Zenzenzense," is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that encapsulates the film's themes of love, longing, and connection.

another interesting song by Redwimps I love so much is that of "Suzume no Tojimari" ft Toaka Suzume

The storyline

The story is about two high school students, Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu, who live in different parts of Japan. One day, they mysteriously swap bodies, crazy right but this is not an anime with super mysterious powers of unimaginable feats. After they swap bodies, (Read Lookism Manhwa to understand swapping of bodies better) their lives become intertwined. The boy became the girl and the girl became the boy; the only way they could communicate was to write down details in their notebooks so that when they swapped bodies again, they could know what each other wanted. As they navigate each other's lives, they develop a deep connection, despite being physically apart. The anime has lots of things in it that it might take you 3 seasons of an anime series before you experience it. It has slice of life, balancing humor, drama, and fantasy. It has much more to give and it one of the best shows.

You see, Taki and Mitsuha are some kind of twisted characters, which made it hard for me to understand at first, but in a split second, I was able to understand what was going on, The two characters have their own distinct personality, struggles, and dreams.

Taki, is a Tokyo high school student, that lives in the city, while Mitsuha, lives in the rural town's and is also a high school student which means their world are far apart from each other. As the story unfolds, their complexities and vulnerabilities are revealed, making it easy to relate with their life struggle.

The anime is a brilliant anime and it deserves to be watched by all. I believe this anime is a PG-rated anime because its an anime everyone and every age could learn from. I try my best not to include too many spoilers so you can enjoy the anime to the fullest. Trust me, the ending part might put a tear in your eyes.

I would gladly recommend it to other people to watch and I don't think I need to rate it because it already has a high rating but from my side, I would give it a 9/10. When watching anime, I do notice some lapses in them but this one, I could hardly find any which made me give it a 9, I would keep the remaining 1 to myself.

Thanks for reading, here is the trailer.
