What exactly in the movie was able to connect with so many people all around the world?

Now it's time for Hollywood to fuck up this masterpiece beyond recognition :(
Unchainedmaple888 by J. J. Abrams, because Star Wars wasnt enough.
Haha, I kid... I'm that rare minority who thinks Star Wars is basically where it was. I enjoyed Last Jedi, but I fear some of the choices made in that film may hurt it later on (the fact that some were supposedly due to studio rewrites, which doesn't surprise me). And honestly, given how studios work, only so much could be blamed on him.
Theres already a similar movie, its called the Lake House starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.
losang yolmo Damn you're right... I had forgotten about that movie! Thanks for reminding me... and yeah, seems the theme is similar now that I think about it.
I hope they make it into a comedy to be honest.
@Unchainedmaple888 -- Needs more explosions! And a car chase?
I cried when Mitsuha open her palm and saw that Taki wrote "I love you". Emotions rushed through my whole system when the music started to play. That scene was epic. Best confession ever.
Agree and it was so mystic as well
I cried watching this movie because it reminded me that I don't have a loved one yet...
Lol me tooo
ouchXD ikr?
Same no loved one but your name was just an amazing movie to me
lol same hahahahahaha
hahahaha
haha
ha
....
Damn..so true
Most touching moment was every time the music starts in the background
Kimi no nawa is just so..."human" and "alive" i'm not surprised by these results, i had some moments were i remembered past events of my life while i was watching the movie too, it's humanity just makes people relate with the characters you know
Same, gives me nostalgia. I remember the first time i switched bodies with a female across the world. Good times.
Anon How do you remember that? I thought that the ones who changed bodies in the past didn't remember what happened after a while
r/whoosh
I just love kimi no na wa
Yoha 12 I cry every time I watch it
virus dev ?
Me too dude, i really love it😭😭😭
Devin Longendyke lmao
virus dev what do you mean by you look like Kimi no na wa?
This movie made me an anime fan, and I'm glad it was my intro
dialga reshiram, this movie is a great anime intro. Mine's was Spirited Away which I'm also proud of!
same as me
dialga reshiram .... wow. That's insane. I'd definitely check it out then. Other Romantic anime you should checkout include: Snow White with the red hair, your lie in April & Toradora. The English dubs are pretty good too 🤗
Anime Craze I think I just might 😄
Welcome to the world of weebism. Enjoy your stay.
Your Name is easily the best movie i’ve ever watched.
I guess you only watch anime movies
I live inside your house lol forgot to add anime movie. It still might be in my top 10 favorite MOVIE of all time.
I guess you haven't seen Spirited Away, Wolf Children, Koe no Katachi, Castle in the sky, Kiki'S Delivery Service, Kino's Journey, Grave of the Fireflies, From this corner of the world
John Paul lmao what do you have against me??? I’ve seen most of these movies. Spirited Away is good. What to want me to say? The world is huge, thats why i used the word “my favorite”.
Nope, you said it's the best movie you've seen, so I simply point out anime movies that rivals Your Name.
I havent had a romantic relationship yet but it really got me for some reason, cant pinpoint why
I Love Kimi no na wa (Your name) because it's more than just a feel fest, it's a declaration of love defying abstract elements against things like time and fate.
Fun Fact: Kimi No Na Wa didn't even aired in Germany so far... but in January it's finally in the cinema. lol
Yup german publishers are just so slow with everything
And then there is greece that wont air anything related to anime
Ikr!!! I just wonder if it's going to be subbed or dubbed bc if it's dubbed there is no way in hell I would watch it 😂
But The Silent Voice aired in September if I am not mistaken.
Wait, it came out in countries like France, Sweden and Italy, but not Germany? (Until recently of course) That's just bizarre.
Amazing Movie, better than any hollywood garbage nowadays !
What about Coco?
Your Name is just popular but not a masterpiece, just because you like Japanese anime that doesn't mean American movies are shit.
At least the most popular movie in Japan is 10x than the popular American ones (Transformers, Avengers, The Last Jedi, etc. etc)
@@jackmayor3574 🤣👍
@@jackmayor3574 bruh, honestly not Avengers, they make a shit fucking ton of money way more than these kind of movies... I dont want that fact but its true sadly
On the one side I love Kimi no Na wa, on the other side I hate it, because it made people forget about Koe no Katachi ... :(
Don't blame the movie for that. Even the director of Your Name has spoken highly of A Silent Voice.
If I had to pick a word, I would say it was overshadowed by it... Koe no Katachi is very highly rated by those who have seen it, it's just that Kimi No Na Wa became so huge in comparison.
Stop compare everything to Koe no Katachi. Compare the setting to KokoSake. A silent voice steal that same thing and was put on the movie. It's redundant. That's the right comparison.
+DokiSuru Are you talking about Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda? KokoSake was released in 2015, Koe no Katachi's one-shot was released in 2011. Koe no Katachi was then serialized into a weekly manga in 2013 and ended in 2014. Koe no Katachi didn't steal shit, please do your research.
i love *both* movies although, to be honest, i found the manga for Koe no Katachi to be a better experience than the movie. (not that the movie for KoNoKa didn't make me cry).
Your voice is always so relaxing to listen to, love your video's man
Why do people feel like they need to point out that they're the first person to comment? Its not like they will receive some gift or anything.
Run first comment in your comment
it's called ''ego masturbation''
I know, not to mention that you-tube actually shuffle the first dozen comments around, so it looks even more stupid when you see a "first" comment appearing 18th.
Hi i subscribed a hour ago keep up the good work!
The scene that moved me when Taki was screaming coz he lost his memory of her, he was desperately trying to remember her name and when Mitsuha opened her hand to relieve his memory with her esp to know his name...to her suprise, it was his feeling toward her...😭 I couldn't hold my tears while watching those scenes ...the efforts of these two lovers for each other reminds us that true love does exist
I Sobbed like a lil bish at that scene
@@jace8706 same here...couldn't hold the tears 😭 esp. the scene when she found out that he wrote " I love you" instead of his name
@@jace8706 same here...couldn't hold the tears 😭 esp. the scene when she found out that he wrote " I love you" instead of his name
@@laureenjoytecsongaas183 i keep coming back for it. I watch the movie everyday, I don't want to have lingering memories of it, I want to know it as well as I know my own language, until I can imagine the whole movie in all of its detail running through my mind. And whenever I find a new reaction to it, I MUST see the reaction all the way to the hand scene.
@@jace8706 Thats a WOw! you never get tired...well that scene was well played and incredibly unique, I cant blame you, even I admire every details of the scene and makes me believe in Love actually🥰
i did like the movie especially the graphics but it wasn't that amazing like everyone said. maybe it's because it didn't make me emotional. since I never had any romantic partner or very important family member. I'm not trying to act like a emo or anything. it's just... i don't have those experiences so i don't judge if some people found this movie very relatable which is not in my case
Yeah its was hard for me to relate to the movie I give it a 7.5
*S H I T T A S T E*
This movie wasn't supposed to be relatable. It's supposed to be a dream, a fantasy, a hope that you will always find someone is the future
I love the moment when she falls down ...sees what's written in her hand and gets back up ..😖🤧
The last two sequences affected me the most---from when Taki heard Mitsuha's friends talking in the cafe up until the end. I cry every. single. time i watch that scene, and now that I've thought about it, I think it's because we're all looking for something, even if we don't know who or what it is. We feel a connection to the characters when they finally find each other, cheering them on because we know how it feels to look for something and there is pride in knowing they found theirs.
I guess I know why I don't give two shits about this movie.
Soul Daniel69 you're not the only one
hipster edge-lord non-conformist right here
Then you too probably never really fall in love with a special person.
Kimi no nawa inspired me to be an anime artist.
GreatDane239 good luck!
You mean a animator?
no, he means doing fan art on deviant art and tumblr
U r not alone bro
@joe hartsock bet you don't have talent
I love this movie even though I'm single lol!
really sorry but i love your vids, it's just winding me up how you pronounce especially, it's not expecially ..pls
Lo unico que se, es que cualquier cosa que logre esto dentro de tu ser, es una Obra Maestra "A Masterpiece"
Your Name is one of the most precious movie which is unforgettable !!!!!
My fav anime Movie❤️
Best part of the movie is finding that thaki wrote i love you instead of his name and the last scene
I want to have amnesia and watch your name over and over again and again and over and over forever
Wow I honestly expected a Silent Voice to be more popular but they were both extremely good movies
really? Silent Voice dealt with ugly topic so it does not have as much appeal as your name with its positive message. It's also aimed more toward adult demographic while your name can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Could be because of the social stigmas it touches. People only hear what they want to hear etc
Silent Voice's manga way more good rather than adaptation movie...
Not to mention that the execution of Silent Voice is pretty poor and psychologically incorrect (coming from a psychologist)... It's very different from the manga, where the psychology of each character is explored more in detail and the ending is more detailed and actually makes sense... (very few of the characters in the movie were developed aside from the male protagonist. It's sad because the original plot was about "self-acceptance" and yet almost no one has come to accept themselves by the end of the movie). Unfortunately it was pretty clear that the film director didn't have as much experience as the mangaka when it came to these kinds of topics.
@@AlfredKamon the director did her best trying to incorporate the whole manga into a 2 hour movie. When I finished watching the movie, some things felt blatantly incomplete, like the scene where the main character becomes more desperate to be happy around the girl and her sister, was cut off kinda abruptly. I think the movie was supposed to be open ended, and maybe that works in a way where you just provoke an emotion and leave it like that, without tying the ends.
The manga felt more complete, because it is. The director must've decided to do the movie in that open-ended fashion rather than cutting certain parts of the story to fit it into the 2 hour mark. It was a good decision as far as I can see, but it could've also been done better, because there have been some compromises with the pacing of the movie.
But overall, I think kyoani missed the chance of translating a silent voice into an anime series instead of a movie. that way, it could've been more wholesome and complete.
In spite of an Oscars snub early this year, but who cares? Your Name or Kimi No Nawa won the hearts of the many from all ages & it even got a money EARNING (not "making") anime film at the worldwide box office. Hope we could see even more success to Makoto Shinkai on his next untitled project in which it'll be release on 2020 & earned twice and more successful than Your Name & who knows, his new anime film might get an Oscars nod, a year later & win it just like what Spirited Away did it before. #Redemption ☺️😉😎
It's not just a movie it's a lot more than a movie it is an emotion and it will always stay my favoirite
Yes! The Ending god! Thank you for making me cry once when I watched Kimi no Nawa... 😭💗
I dunno, I'm an introvert so I guess it made me feel like I'm no alone. (Yeah waaayy to cheesy I know X3)
Thank God for Your Name introducing me to Radwimps!
It's really a danm good movie
I love 'your name's so much!
It gives me hope for loved ones to meet, it taught me that falling in love is important than finding love and it turns me from a p***boy to a man who wants to get persons together
I had a wonderful time when I watched the Film, lost in its Beauty, I'm Grateful :).
The music , comet falling , the connection forged ....made it magical...while watching it ..I remembered the past connections that I made in my life...and that unexplained longing feeling for someone..and the sudden rush of tears when mitshua cried while tying her hair ....all these moments ❤️
Because everyone has experienced the dream thing and looking for something or someone but they don't know who or what
When Taki found the destroyed Itomori. I cried from that point onwards until the end.😅😊
At that point when Mitsuha open her palms and saw "I LOVE YOU" I just burst into tears & specially at the last line of the flim saying KIMI NO NAMEI WA. Those two moments were wonderful ❣️❣️
I almost started crying at the moment she gose to read his name on her arm and it just say I love you
Heartbreaking that might fail not knowing his name but knowing he always loved her
I also remember that the 53 people who are intervied almost all of them cried
better than twilight
Sound of Bell Twillight doesn't even had a chance to be compared LOL
Like a unknown feeling flow from my bottom of my heart after seeing your name
Expecially...
It's the longest RADWIMPS music video ever.
JK, I loved the movie really.
Even though I had already ingested too much hype before I watched it, I still enjoyed it. That says good things, seeing as I'm a relatively cynical person. Feeling connection to any form of medium is very important.
I have watched it one day later after A Silent Voice, and I find it a poorly written one with weak story and poorly build characters, it was just a simple romantic anime for me and I could not even feel close to crying or something, it didn't bring much emotion from me, on other hand A Silent Voice has much better characters, and touches more human topics and feelings from real life, so at the end I was crying over that. Maybe it is not nice to compare them, but these are fresh experiences for me, so I have do it. In this matter I don't understand why this anime has so high score, they basically took two old ideas the changing bodies and going back to the past, to fix something, reminded me of The Butterfly Effect even that movie has brought much emotion from me than this anime.
I filp my table living room table when they finally meet in the end ,because you know Shinkai was quite merciful to less that happen which is great. But the part where they meet at the summit did hit me hard, as hard as the ending.
One of the best anime.
The Cliff hanger.. Is so irritating!
The scene I cried the most was when Taki came to the village where Mitsuha lived but the village was destroyed and then he tried to find clues and it kinda killed me mentally. And also I cried so much when Mitsuha tried to save the people in the village because I thought that they might not make it to a save spot :c. That was so sad
For me I shed tears during the scene with the song "Sparkle" and continued to do so the first few times when listening to the song in the soundtrack release, whether in Japanese or English, though I think I still do so when watching that scene which I have stopped watching regularly to preserve its impact as it is not easy to get me to cry. I think I was moved by Taki wanting to save Mitsuha's life and the way he loved her.
Kimi No Na Wa is my favorite anime movie bit the main thing that got me thinking was the art style and just the art is general it was beautiful and i kinda wanna see beautiful scenes like the ones portrayed in the movie.
I remember seeing some comments like: "Your Name is so overrated" If people actually love it then why can't they praise it?
they trying to be edge-lords
why can't people seem to accept that there are others who might not have liked it as much as they did?
I'm not saying you can't dislike Your Name, but people are calling it overrated like it has been more praised than it deserves to be
I love your name. Good movie. Still overrated though.
There, i praised the movie i love while admitting its overrated.
This movie made me feel like as if I lost something I never had to begin with.
I have the blu ray movie and i love watching it in English dub i love that i buyed it at Wal-Mart
m-me too...
Chris Guerard lol same
*bought
Chris Guerard bought*
Chris Guerard It’s Bought.....
The scene the most affected me was the last one, where they reunite together at the stairs
I mean, I LOVE rom-coms and romance anime. This was a romance anime? How? Macross, romance. Kimagure Orange Road, romance. Wolf Children, romance. Eureka 7 etc etc, Tenchi Muyo. Fate/Stay Night. But this movie had people balling their eyes out? Why? I love movies like Kissing Jessica Stein, Notting Hill, Groundhog's Day. But people payed more than any other movie to see this and balled their eyes out, over this? What?
Got my Blu Ray that I pre-ordered, and still haven't watched it. Too fucking busy with work. FUCK YOU WORK. XD
The comet falling scene , Mitsuha & Taki meeting on the mountain, Taki drinking Mitsuha's Kuchikumisake , I liked them most. Also Taki pressing Mitsuha's boobs , every time he switched bodies was hilarious!😉
PR works,famous anime studio,not heavy "Anime" the casual anime art style,the "it's getting famous because it's famous" effect similar to PUBG,free PR the news reports,simple titles,the new movie "firework" don't have much of those,that's why it's not have better box office,despite it's theirs new works
why because i love my best friend even we live in different countries even after 10 years
Literally I barely saw the movie today and I fell in love with it!!
I saw it and it was good but shit;
people hyped the f*ck out of this. It wasn't THAT great, I've def. seen better anime.
Wasn't really my thing.
I'm just pissed that A Silent Voice is overshadowed by this movie...
You know why it’s popular?? Because it’s an absolute master piece
I'm sorry if this comment will offend any of you but Kimi No Na Wa just reminds me of the movieFreaky Friday. I know the plot is different but the switching of bodies just reminds me of that movie.
This wasn't recommended but you actually searched for this
I don't know, it was good, but I've seen plenty of anime movies that I thought were better, and liked more, and it didn't really live up to my (admittedly high) expectations. Glad we finally got a Shinkai movie that had an ending I could be a little happy with though.
I started to cry like a baby when Mitsuha could't remember Taki's name, and she fell and than saw on her hand "I love you" (T_T)
Tokyosaurus can you make an observation about anime relationship with Japan's tv shows/movies industry? I used to watch the famous tv series based on manga etc back in 2000s and 90s but I rarely see them now. I just wonder if anime prosper renders the live action to be more or less obsolete. Jdrama used to be famous and refreshing but now Kdrama (Korean drama) and others leave them in the dust.
I really need to watch Your Name again to fully appreciate it. At this time I didn't really like it or got moved by it. Hell, the third Evangelion Movie made me ball like a baby and think about my past relationships than Your Name. But I guess I'll watch it again lol
The moment that really stood out to me was when mitsuhai noticed taki wrote “I love you” on her hand. Having reassurance from your loved ones always gives you so much confidence to do what you have to do. It’s love , but the main question I have is actually the idea of soul mates. I think it’s fantasy, there are so many things in life that can happen people have different personalities, different experiences, different locations, so I don’t think there’s only one person you were dates to be with, because who’s to say , that you were destined to be with a person but u made a mistake and choose a different path and ended up with another person. Soul mates is a cool concept to believe in, but it’s not realistic
I tried, I couldn't get pass the first 15 minutes. Never liked.
I tried downloading a torrent yesterday..didn’t work...any good websites for downloading your name?
those reasons, you will only hear them on a TV show. because it's TV!. so cheesy! Kimi no na wa is so popular because the movie is good, the story is good, and the music is good. that's it! And it goes the same for Star Wars. People love Star Wars not because they remembered their encounters with some jedi.
I was moved with the ending of original fate stay night but this movie never moved, dunno why. that's how I came upon this video, searching for if I'm a heartless prick
Good Japanese anime is better then what Americans can offer🤩
so you do not like any of the Disney, Pixar, or DreamWorks movies?
TropicalHalo69 subjective.
Heh gotta hand it to Japanese men. They are able to cry in public.. I just can't do it because some faces I believe I just can't show anyone
Which scene affected me the most? The second coming of the comet, I bawled my eyes out, just with the music booming and the characters realising what was about to happen and the officials just being dicks in general while the kids are trying to warn everyone
To me, the movie Shinkai made before this one (Garden of words) was more touching. But it's true that that's not the kind of movie people can relate to.
What scenes made me cried? From the 2/3 until the end.... it really is fantastic movie that brings out that feeling of a connection that us humans wanted...
I guess the fact that ive never been in love explains why i personally felt like "Your Name" was overrated af. I mean, the art and the animation are great, but thats about where my appreciation ends.
This and Toradora are the movie/series I'd wipe my memory just to experience again.
It was a really good film, but I'm I the only one that just thinks that it's not this game changing masterpiece that everyone says it it. I guess it may have to do with the fact that I both didn't relate to this film, nor are love stories to my taste in anime, but even than, this film didn't do anything particularly mind blowing. It was a nice story, with entertaining characters, beautiful visual and a nice OST, but these individual elements I've seen been done better in other anime films.
Holy fuck i literally just watched it after seeing this video. Holy fuck it was such a roller coaster of emotions and filled with twists and really fucking good.
What scene made me cry?!? I literally cried during half of this movie
I didn't cry for this movie. However, I got really at some parts and i understood why some people cried
So it's get popular because their own real life romance experience ?
No wonder it's not affect me at all because i comparing it with other anime or manga with same type of genre like this 1.
for me story from Air is more deep than this 1. they're separated by curse and generation, keep trying their best over generation to cure her curse or she will dead and repeat to next generation.
Its popular because everyone low key wishes they could switch bodies with a girl/guy from the past, save their life, and then years later meet that person
so its a fast and furious success, it may touch on these romantic topics but nevertheless a senseless one, since the writing was medicore it really shed no light on why should anyone really care for the characters. Remember being popular doesn't make it a masterpiece, all in all a perfect consumer product.
It's popular because it's fucking beautiful
Last few words whomsoever said in this video.... I lyk those😊
Actually none, they basically don't know each other at all and it's suggested that this is great love.
i feel this movie will be more touching if i understood japanese
Your Name is great and all, but once you see A Silent Voice, you forget about Your Name and then you go out and buy the manga because you want to know more about the characters in the movie.
This movie was overrated don't @ me
welp, for me i thought it was alright i guess. i never really thought about the things that happened in the movie that have kinda might of happened to me. so thats why i didn’t really understand why people loved it so much but now i kinda do.
