I just realized on a repeat viewing that whenever Taki is in Mitsuha, he does not tie her hair with the red cord, and whenever Mitsuha is in Taki, she does not tie the red cord to his wrist. They only wear the cord when they are themselves. Neither is aware of the red cord in the other's respective location/timeline.

@WoWsAmE I'm hoping that there will be a movie that is greater than this, so I can have a greater feeling than I had than when I watched this movie. Yes, You're Name was beautiful and there may not be a better movie for the next few years or even a decade from now, but we all know the inevitable: Something new and better will always come up at some point.
When Taki wrote "I love you" instead of writing his name, I was both left broken and left painfully in love with that scene. If Taki wrote his name, it'll be just forgotten and wiped out just like what happened to Mitsuha's written diary and other memories of him to her. Writing "I love you" left Mitsuha remember the feeling of being love and letting her to continue living the life she deserve. The heart will never forget.
It was a masterpiece, the music fit perfectly on was is going on.......After watching the movie i go to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and it turned out I was crying, I didn't even realize I was cry. This is a good movie if the audience can feel the character emotion
Can't believe this movie came out 5 years ago, time flies so fast. I hope i can erased my memories and watch this movie again just like i watched for the first time
Actually when they first met in the train they were at the same age (it seems)... And that's why when they swapped bodies Taki looked a bit older and taller than Mitsuha.
I have seen this movie 6 times. somebody help me. edit: and it looks like it is going to be a seven, seeing it with a friend tonight. I feel like there is a named disorder for this.
Watched it 4 times at home..watched it for the first time on the cinema yesterday (which was a totally amazing experience..!) and will watch it again tomorrow on the cinema, so excited~!
If you read the novel, it adds so much more depth to the entire work. As compared to Shinkai's previous works, Kimi no Na Wa's novel was written after the film, whereas most of his other works has him writing the novel in conjunction or before the movie has been released. As explained by Shinkai in the novel's end note, the movie provides a third person's view at the whole scenario whereas the novel gives you a more intimate first person's view at everything. It's even better when you read the way the work was conceptualised and how much the music ties in with the movie.
Victor Lukianto Would this be a good book to read before seeing the movie? I've already seen the movie twice, but I'd like to show someone the movie so I can watch it with someone, but they aren't super interested in anime, so possibly reading the book could get them interested?
I think so? Haha most of my friends watched the movie itself before entertaining the thought of the novel (because currently there are no English translation AFAIKF), but yea maybe the book could make them change their mind. It helps to widen your understanding of the work
Actually Yen Press is doing an English release of the novel, the manga (3 volumes I think) and the "Your Name. Another Side: Earthbound" novel so rejoice!
Your Name was beautiful, I laughed, I cried, I felt nostalgia, I was homesick for places I had never even been, I wanted them together so badly, absolutely HEAVENLY visuals, engaging and bittersweet story and most of all, It increased my love for Japan and especially Tokyo tenfold. The way that Japan is presented makes me ache to be there, I don't know why but, I have entirely fallen in love with Japan in the same way that I would fall in love with a person, it's so different everywhere you go, for me, being in Japan is like constantly being a child, discovering everything for the first time, it's like a whole day spent blackberry picking in the autumn, but it's also like flying upwards and breaking through the clouds to the rays of the sun. I may be some weaboo on the internet, but I have discovered my one true love in Japan.
That's the thing about anime; it can be beautiful. Come to Tokyo. It's not a wonderland here. Cool city, but not the picturesque view given in this movie.
Just watched Your Name recently. This is pretty much my favourite anime film and quite possibly one of my favourite films of all time. It was just so potently beautiful and emotional. I'd love to see more analysis of the scenes in this movie, particularly the montage scene near the middle of the movie
Qwem Lhjsi I think I kinda feel the same way. While I'm not sure if it's my favorite anime film of all time, it's definitely up there. This movie was an incredible experience, and I'm so glad I got the chance to see it on the big screen.
Buck Wade for one, I loved how simplistic the elements of the story were and how thoroughly and uniquely they were explored. I feel like they did a fantastic job with punctuating the powerful and emotional moments with the visuals and music. The music for the movie is incredibly well chosen for those scenes as well. For instance, the opening and the montage scene near the middle of the movie were key examples of why I liked the film so much.
Buck Wade You're probably not asking me, but I'll try to help answer your question. Firstly, the presentation. The gorgeous backgrounds and settings along with the pretty decent looking and very well animated character designs give the film an amazing look. And when they mix up the visual style at some points in the film, it looks absolutely phenomenal. There are a few setpieces like the talk at twilight which and the comet falling which are absolutely breathtaking as well. The score is also pretty good, and the soundtrack/insert songs by radwimps are just perfectly used in my opinion. Another reason is that it appealed to both me and my SO on an emotional level. This obviously won't happen with everyone, and I can't perfectly articulate why it did so, but this film made me feel many different emotions incredibly strongly. My best guess as to why this happened is that the presentation going from light and fun to incredibly somber and tense, mixed with the pretty great characters, and a sudden twist in the story drew me in incredibly well. Since I'm not sure if you've seen it or not, I'm going to be as vague as possible. But setting it up as a simple body swap comedy and pulling the rug out from under you was done very well. It didn't feel forced due to the foreshadowing, and it's hard not to feel anything when you find out what happened to Mitsuha and her village. Giving you time to get attached to the characters and letting you have as much fun as they were having with the body swapping really helps sell the emotions of suddenly losing all of that. And to briefly touch on the characters, I really liked them and think they had a lot of personality to them. Setting the film as a flashback draws you into the struggle of Mitsuha and Taki, and then you get to spend a pretty large amount of time with them just fooling around with swapping bodies. They both have different goals which is always a good thing for a character, and they're both pretty relatable as well. It's also a nice touch to have one of them live in the country and the other in the city because it helps showcase the struggles of both. Most people will relate to the struggles of one or both of them at least a little. It was also incredibly entertaining to see them developtheir friendship which eventually turns into romance. (Which I do personally think was done well, but I understand why some people don't agree.) To sum all of this up, it's a great movie that succeeds in basically every area, even excelling in a few like the presentation. It gives you time to breathe and get attached to the characters, and then pulls the rug out from under them and under you. It made me feel many emotions incredibly strongly, and that's all because the story, characters, art, and music were done so incredibly well. But more than anything else, it was just an incredible experience. It's more than the sum of the parts I was talking about, and it just resonated with me incredibly strongly.
+Daniel Hughes I was asking you and Qwem Lhjsi, because I have little clue why people love it so much. Based on what you said, it sounds as though I watched the film without much expectations. Maybe that's why it bored me. What you've said is REALLY making me consider watching the film again.
The reason that there are red lines in those animes is because of the meaning behind the re lines. Red lines "赤い糸" ore "红线" in East Asia is a representation of relationship between people, specially romantic relationship. In Chinese mythology there is even a god call the Yue Lao who controls the red line.
Hakajin That May be so. At least in the Japanese language I think the word for “love” sounds kind of similar to the word for “moon.” In the movie A Silent Voice (an amazing film) there was a situation where the word for “love” was misheard by one of the characters to be to word for “moon.” So I think there probably is a connection there.
Honestly Everything that Makoto Shinkai makes is absolutely beautiful and unique.I always feel bad for the stupid people that think anime is hentai.They really missing it out...My classmates always make fun of me for watching anime..I feel like crying because They can't watch such a beautiful shows like Your name.I just wish they can see anime the way I can see it.I want them to watch it and just Be like Wow that's sooo beautiful...But it'll never happen...
The amount of detail is incredible in this movie. I read that Makoto Shinkai is into Scifi so he might be into astronomy as well. Whenever you see an upward shot of Itomori you can see the Milky way in the sky. Taki doesn't see it in Tokyo because the city is so bright. Another awesome detail you won't get during your first sight of the movie :)
It’s hard to believe this movie came out almost 5 years ago now. I rewatched it the other day and it’s animation is still breathtakingly gorgeous. A true classic
This has been one of my favorite OP analysis you've done! Not just pointing out the foreshadowing and character studies, but the amount of detail you've talked about in the scenes helped me appreciate a lot about the composition and animation of this OP. I don't usually comment on these things but seriously if you could do more of Your Name that would be amazing! either way the work you've done from up to this point has always been a blast; keep it up!
Rainy Meadows im insanely influenced by these things, and i got so sucked into stories that if im given a bad ending it almost feels like it happened in real life. I know its complicated but could you tell me if this anime has a good/happy ending?
I'm not the most emotional guy ever and I almost never cry when I watch anime or other stuff, but I cried at the end of this film. For like 10 minutes. It wasn't so much that it was sad (because the ending is happy), it just hit me so hard because it's just such a masterpiece.
Optimistic Otaku He has appeared from more than two chains already. "He hasn't told anyone to agree with him", please read the chains thoroughly. Yes, the comment may seem to be for "laughs". But if you think psychologically, his thoughts and emotion (can be observed through his/her chains). You'll probably understand the "drift" of the comment. "Small words, deep meaning" as I would say.
Let me make this clear. I did not specify any type of chains he was in, I said he has appeared in more than two. Next, I did not say he has "Insulted anyone for their opinions", "Demanded they believe him", and "Claimed his opinions were facts". As I said "if you think psychologically", I don't wanna type down a whole Wikipedia of what I mean by psychologically. So I'll break it down on my own term; My opinion. "You seem to be everywhere in the comment section, spreading "negativity"." My opinion. "You seem" was already a hint on to it. I did not condemn what he/she was doing. I simply said what I wanna say, opinion in other words. Also, tone down the "all". You're stating everyone. Not everyone is a "one liner".
"your confusing the heck out of your audience". You mean i'm confusing you, stop putting everyone in it. Your understanding in the term "all" is "vague". "literally everyone" *sigh*. "Why not put in a bunch? Why not talk to a BUNCH of people?" That's exactly what they're doing outside of TH-cam. They don't wanna waste their time in such pathetic things such as an argument in the internet. When you can have an actual argument IN REAL LIFE. But if your still not satisfied with my answer to your question, make a survey. Ask EVERYONE, literally everyone. Have fun with that :)
I agree, there would be no point in writing it in kanji. If you want someone to remember your name you don't write characters that could be read differently than how you intend it.
It doesn't really matter but the crosswalk after the date and the cross walk where they miss each other aren't the same. The first is in roppongi without a doubt due to the street signs and roppongi hills in the background and the second is probably in shinjuku, which is where taki lives. As you note the backgrounds in this film are crazily realistic, to the point that I was able to get a sense of where Taki lives from the scene where mizuha first steps outside of taki's apartment because landmarks like roppongi hills, midtown and Tokyo tower are drawn so clearly. Hell, the building across the street from my old house was clearly visible. By contrast, mizuha's hometown is fictional (although the region it's in and the towns nearby that get featured when taki goes to look for her are totally real) and has this dreamy, not quite real feeling to it from the beginning. I found myself trying to figure out where it is wondering if there even is a place like it or it's just supposed to be a composite of many other beautiful rural towns, but when I saw the scene they visit the place where the god body is I knew then that the rural scenes are not supposed to be taken literally.
I just watched my FIRST anime movie and holy wow what a start. This was absolutely amazing it literally pulled my heart out of my chest idk how I stumbled upon this but I am so glad I did.
OMG, Not gonna lie! I love this anime with my whole heart! I listen its soundtrack everyday and all the time and rewatch it almost every week. And even now after 5 years from wathing it for the first time I'm still wathing videos like yours
I'm pretty sure Jeoff isn't gonna make any more vids on it...POSSIBLY, a "What's in a scene", but his content doesn't tend to repeat itself... Unless it's SAO
I don't know why but whenever I hear the name of this movie I automatically think your name in April for some damn reason, like i get your lie in April and your name mixed up, I'm so dumb😆
Your name was the most insane film experience ive had in a while. It was such a refreshing take on body swapping and romance and an actually accurate portrayal of youth culture and relationships
I don't see why people not liking a film is such a bad thing. You say hater like it's a bad thing, but people like GoatJesus and WeebTrashProductions who have made videos on why they dislike the movie have made valid points.
RayOfTruth I don't think the original commenter said it is bad to be a hater. Either way, I really don't care. To each their own. If the hate the film, it's their right to do so
DIO BRANDO same hear. I did end up watching through a friend, and I enjoyed it a lot. If you really wanna support it, the best thing to do is buy it legit when it's finally released. At least that's what I plan on doing. It may be more expensive then the cinema, but if it's for something you enjoyed and wanna support, there is no better way. (Plus owning the physical media is always damn cool.)
Just discovered this yesterday and now I am obsessed, I got to admit i only took this long because I thought that the title "your name" meant it was a choose your own adventure when I saw it on Netflix.
Man takes almost a year to get this movie in a theater in my area of the US, but F-ing SAO is out in a month. The only justice is Your Name is still playing in the Austin area after 2 weeks, and SAO only had a one day event. How long are we going to have to wait for A Silent Voice?
Every time I hear that intro I cry. Literally, that beat from where the song kicks off with the guy giving off a high pitch note to the solo just makes me tear up. This movie is incredibly emotional and the best anime movie of all time.
Mitsuha (Her time is 3 years before Taki's in the movie) She says that Taki is the same as her when they switch bodies. So when they see each other again Mitsuha is 3 years older than Taki.
Just watched it today and I really loved it. Your Name is so deserving of its praise. Both it and A Silent Voice are both beautiful films and I personally highly recommend both :)
U FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!! I was waiting so long for u to analyse Kimi No Na Wa, as I loved ur Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso analysis, rant of hate on Sword Art Online, and comparison of Baby Steps.
Wonderful analysis of Your Name's OP. Just one little detail you missed: at 10:35, that was not the scene where they had left the kuchikamizake and was walking home with her sister and grandmother. That was the location the day after Mitsuha had cut her hair where she is walking with Tessie and Sayaka away from the Autumn Festival and sees the comet fall on Itomori.
They are making a live action film to your name and I just hope they do it justice.. this film is to beautiful to be soiled by a live action adaptation but at the same time I’m super excited that they are making it.
I once did a reveiw for school on this movie, I choose it myself. Im glad I did, beacause my teacher said it makes them want to watch the movie, and I said it was on netflix on the reveiw, so its a possibility.
I've seen it and will have to point out that for 'teenage/youth feel/enjoyment', Kimi no Na Wa. is the way to go. If you want a full emotion rollercoaster then get ready, Koe no Katachi will absolutely take you for a round of laughs, anger, sadness and happiness in that exact order. Koe no Katachi literally makes Kimi no Na Wa. Look like a pure slice of life anime that does poorly in romance department.
Spoiler for those of you who haven't seen Weathering with you yet. You know that Taki and Mitsuha are in weathering with you, meaning... weathering with you takes place in the same universe as Your Name, there are also hints. The final scenes of your name when Taki is in the cafe, it's raining. And after the rain, it starts snowing, and on Weathering with you there is a scene where Its raining then it starts snowing. And when Taki and Mitsuha are running around trying to find each other, there's a bunch of puddles, meaning it stopped raining. And that means it's the morning of the day when Hina sacrificed herself. And there is a huge stormy looking cloud, and on weathering with you, the scene where Hodoka is running on the tracks, theres a huge stormy looking cloud.
@@myth3300 Actually it doesn't, as you can see, the ending of your name showed time passing and showed cherry blossoms in the ground meaning it is spring, even in the ending it's still is spring and as we know the sunshine only lasted for a day and it's suppoed to be summer, not spring. Unless of course they're not in tokyo in which case it makes perfect sense
This might contain spoliers If you read the novel of Weathering with you, at the end when Hodaka goes to Taki's grandmother's house, he sees a photo of Taki's wedding. So, hopefully he married Mitsuha 😆😆😆
Wow! And I really thought I couldn't love the movie any more, but you just made it SO MUCH deeper than I had thought it was on first view! Very good video, I'm looking forward to seeing more!
This movie is basically the filler episodes of any typical fantasy anime combined into a film with the exception that *everything is fucking beautiful, I mean look at that rain animation*
GamingJar OMG yes, that rain animation! Especially near the end, there's a particular scene where it's dropping into a puddle, and each drop creates ripples that are painstakingly animated individually and are affected by each other! This movie is BEAUTIFUL!
+Anime Summit I can understand why people love the movie aesthetically, but on a storytelling level? What story is there? The two leads are bland in terms of design and personality, existing solely so the audience can self-insert (same strategy that Romeo and Juliet used), have 0 romantic chemistry, no dialogue that indicates a deeper connection, they interact like business partners.
+Kazai Ah, it seems you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean about this movie feeling like a filler episode as in the story of the movie if was part of an anime series will most likely be condensed into a 5~10 minute long narration. In some anime this was done when it is adapted from a LN, for example Re:Zero condensed the story about Wilhelm from an entire LN into a narration tool within the featured episode. In other words, Wilhelm's story alone is capable of being an entire story line for a featured film while at the same time is considered as a filler to the main series
the 2 funniest moments of the video, more or less quoted: "because they had to save their budget somewhere" "and unambiguosly happy ending for the 1° time in his miserable god damn life"
The graphics of this movie, is just....uh I can't explain in simple words. I have seen the movie 5-6 times. But I never get bored watching it. It was my first Anime movie, when I was getting into Anime. And dayuum,I was shocked, that Anime could be this great. It will remain my fav movie of all time... :-)... Don't you think guys/girls..??
you watched it 5-6 times already? i first watched it yesterday at the time of writing this, and i made a promise to myself that every 8 months i will watch the movie, so.. next time i watch the movie will be december
I know this anime is spectacular but the way you have explained it. It made it sound even more amazing 👍 I don't think any other movie can come close to this movie's story, animation and foreshadowing
Not gonna lie. I shed tears when Taki and Mitsuha found each other in the end and I was so happy tessie and sayaka were together too in the end.
it's tessie hahaha
That's it!
at the final cut away, I heard someone behind my seat Weeping, As for me, I was moved and would share the movie as much i can

The first time I saw this movie was on an ANA flight to Manila, the sunset by the window seat at the same time as the intro only made it more amazing
SAME
ANA? Just how goddamn rich are you?
Wow that comment just gave me chills just by visualizing it..especially with the intro song
How rich are you
same 😭😭 i cant believe i only just saw it
This video was so well edited holy crap
Michał Z the Freecks Show what?
Um, yeah.. you're alone on that one buddy.
Ikr?! I was going to leave the video early, but the song just stopped me. Such tricks
PrimeHylian dude, what editing? These are rudimentary skills.
Yeah, this one is gonna stick with me. I can't forget something so incredible. Honestly, It's one of the best MOVIES ive seen period.
Same
Greatest anime film? No..
Not only anime
It’s the GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
A silent voice : am i joke to you?
Sammy 10 i feel like a silent voice is being slept on way too much
@@sammybosak10 both films are great in their own ways.
Sammy 10
I fucking love a silent voice and I love your name. They’re both emotionally compelling movies and they both made me cry so much.
@@AkechiSaiya wym? it deserved all praise, i mean the story and characters is far more superior than your name
If you read the novel, it adds so much more depth to the entire work. As compared to Shinkai's previous works, Kimi no Na Wa's novel was written after the film, whereas most of his other works has him writing the novel in conjunction or before the movie has been released. As explained by Shinkai in the novel's end note, the movie provides a third person's view at the whole scenario whereas the novel gives you a more intimate first person's view at everything. It's even better when you read the way the work was conceptualised and how much the music ties in with the movie.
Victor Lukianto
Would this be a good book to read before seeing the movie?
I've already seen the movie twice, but I'd like to show someone the movie so I can watch it with someone, but they aren't super interested in anime, so possibly reading the book could get them interested?
I think so? Haha most of my friends watched the movie itself before entertaining the thought of the novel (because currently there are no English translation AFAIKF), but yea maybe the book could make them change their mind. It helps to widen your understanding of the work
Victor Lukianto
sweet :) thank you!
Actually Yen Press is doing an English release of the novel, the manga (3 volumes I think) and the "Your Name. Another Side: Earthbound" novel so rejoice!
That's nice! Finished reading the main novel and the mangas in Japanese already anyway so it's all good on my end haha!
Your Name was beautiful, I laughed, I cried, I felt nostalgia, I was homesick for places I had never even been, I wanted them together so badly, absolutely HEAVENLY visuals, engaging and bittersweet story and most of all, It increased my love for Japan and especially Tokyo tenfold. The way that Japan is presented makes me ache to be there, I don't know why but, I have entirely fallen in love with Japan in the same way that I would fall in love with a person, it's so different everywhere you go, for me, being in Japan is like constantly being a child, discovering everything for the first time, it's like a whole day spent blackberry picking in the autumn, but it's also like flying upwards and breaking through the clouds to the rays of the sun. I may be some weaboo on the internet, but I have discovered my one true love in Japan.
Kitty Cutie well worded
Kitty Cutie if you only know what i know
+Kitty Cutie Well, it sounds like you have legit reason for being a weaboo aside from, "Animu is the greatest in ZA WARUDO!"
That's the thing about anime; it can be beautiful. Come to Tokyo. It's not a wonderland here. Cool city, but not the picturesque view given in this movie.
I have been to Tokyo and I'd say I like it even more than the one in the film ^-^.
Just watched Your Name recently. This is pretty much my favourite anime film and quite possibly one of my favourite films of all time. It was just so potently beautiful and emotional. I'd love to see more analysis of the scenes in this movie, particularly the montage scene near the middle of the movie
Qwem Lhjsi I think I kinda feel the same way. While I'm not sure if it's my favorite anime film of all time, it's definitely up there. This movie was an incredible experience, and I'm so glad I got the chance to see it on the big screen.
Why did the movie appeal to you so much?
Buck Wade for one, I loved how simplistic the elements of the story were and how thoroughly and uniquely they were explored. I feel like they did a fantastic job with punctuating the powerful and emotional moments with the visuals and music. The music for the movie is incredibly well chosen for those scenes as well. For instance, the opening and the montage scene near the middle of the movie were key examples of why I liked the film so much.
Buck Wade You're probably not asking me, but I'll try to help answer your question. Firstly, the presentation. The gorgeous backgrounds and settings along with the pretty decent looking and very well animated character designs give the film an amazing look. And when they mix up the visual style at some points in the film, it looks absolutely phenomenal. There are a few setpieces like the talk at twilight which and the comet falling which are absolutely breathtaking as well. The score is also pretty good, and the soundtrack/insert songs by radwimps are just perfectly used in my opinion. Another reason is that it appealed to both me and my SO on an emotional level. This obviously won't happen with everyone, and I can't perfectly articulate why it did so, but this film made me feel many different emotions incredibly strongly. My best guess as to why this happened is that the presentation going from light and fun to incredibly somber and tense, mixed with the pretty great characters, and a sudden twist in the story drew me in incredibly well. Since I'm not sure if you've seen it or not, I'm going to be as vague as possible. But setting it up as a simple body swap comedy and pulling the rug out from under you was done very well. It didn't feel forced due to the foreshadowing, and it's hard not to feel anything when you find out what happened to Mitsuha and her village. Giving you time to get attached to the characters and letting you have as much fun as they were having with the body swapping really helps sell the emotions of suddenly losing all of that. And to briefly touch on the characters, I really liked them and think they had a lot of personality to them. Setting the film as a flashback draws you into the struggle of Mitsuha and Taki, and then you get to spend a pretty large amount of time with them just fooling around with swapping bodies. They both have different goals which is always a good thing for a character, and they're both pretty relatable as well. It's also a nice touch to have one of them live in the country and the other in the city because it helps showcase the struggles of both. Most people will relate to the struggles of one or both of them at least a little. It was also incredibly entertaining to see them developtheir friendship which eventually turns into romance. (Which I do personally think was done well, but I understand why some people don't agree.)
To sum all of this up, it's a great movie that succeeds in basically every area, even excelling in a few like the presentation. It gives you time to breathe and get attached to the characters, and then pulls the rug out from under them and under you. It made me feel many emotions incredibly strongly, and that's all because the story, characters, art, and music were done so incredibly well. But more than anything else, it was just an incredible experience. It's more than the sum of the parts I was talking about, and it just resonated with me incredibly strongly.
+Daniel Hughes I was asking you and Qwem Lhjsi, because I have little clue why people love it so much. Based on what you said, it sounds as though I watched the film without much expectations. Maybe that's why it bored me. What you've said is REALLY making me consider watching the film again.
when can I find my own mitsuha fam
Danny Luu Where can I apply for this post?
Danny Luu in your dreams
Sorry man, only thots exist in real life.
:'(
Don't worry fam, you have your own red string of fate, maybe its not the right time to see her yet.
The reason that there are red lines in those animes is because of the meaning behind the re lines. Red lines "赤い糸" ore "红线" in East Asia is a representation of relationship between people, specially romantic relationship. In Chinese mythology there is even a god call the Yue Lao who controls the red line.
Just check "Red string of fate" on google.
"Yue?" Like, "moon?" That's interesting -- I wonder if the idea of romantic love and fate is connected with the moon in Chinese mythology?
Hakajin That May be so. At least in the Japanese language I think the word for “love” sounds kind of similar to the word for “moon.” In the movie A Silent Voice (an amazing film) there was a situation where the word for “love” was misheard by one of the characters to be to word for “moon.” So I think there probably is a connection there.
Honestly Everything that Makoto Shinkai makes is absolutely beautiful and unique.I always feel bad for the stupid people that think anime is hentai.They really missing it out...My classmates always make fun of me for watching anime..I feel like crying because They can't watch such a beautiful shows like Your name.I just wish they can see anime the way I can see it.I want them to watch it and just Be like Wow that's sooo beautiful...But it'll never happen...
Fairy Mystonight I feel the same way....
You got a problem with Hentai
Same T_T but they probs never heard the word "hentai" XD
Hehe fucking weeb
I never found someone who has this same view.
The amount of detail is incredible in this movie. I read that Makoto Shinkai is into Scifi so he might be into astronomy as well. Whenever you see an upward shot of Itomori you can see the Milky way in the sky. Taki doesn't see it in Tokyo because the city is so bright. Another awesome detail you won't get during your first sight of the movie :)
I love mitsuha's jaw drop expression when she sees Taki on mountain. That expression is so heart touching.

It’s hard to believe this movie came out almost 5 years ago now. I rewatched it the other day and it’s animation is still breathtakingly gorgeous. A true classic
This has been one of my favorite OP analysis you've done! Not just pointing out the foreshadowing and character studies, but the amount of detail you've talked about in the scenes helped me appreciate a lot about the composition and animation of this OP. I don't usually comment on these things but seriously if you could do more of Your Name that would be amazing! either way the work you've done from up to this point has always been a blast; keep it up!
Im new to this guy but now I feel like I missed a lot in that movie
Watched it today. Legit teared up at the end.
Rainy Meadows im insanely influenced by these things, and i got so sucked into stories that if im given a bad ending it almost feels like it happened in real life. I know its complicated but could you tell me if this anime has a good/happy ending?
you tear up ? why didnt i tear up ? am i that dead inside
@@bradleybrad398 You wont regret the ending i sure you, i recently watched it and it was great
@@bradleybrad398 No spoilers for you :)
*ugly sobbing*
So sad that the Oscars ignore this 2016 #1 animated film
Zootopia is still better.
The_Archduke No. Zootopia is nothing more than predictable Disney schlock with a shallow "progressive" skin applied to it.
Makoto Shinkai himself said the film didn't deserve the praise it was getting.
You are your own biggest critic.
The_Archduke that would anyone would do when something does REALLY well, even me.
I'm not the most emotional guy ever and I almost never cry when I watch anime or other stuff, but I cried at the end of this film. For like 10 minutes. It wasn't so much that it was sad (because the ending is happy), it just hit me so hard because it's just such a masterpiece.
I got another visual metaphor for you: The split meteor represents the second timeline that they created from the main timeline with their efforts.
U got creativity bro😉
The movie was amazing emotional rollercoaster
My heart beats differently when the topic is kimi no na wa. So good job for making it go doki doki
How are you not dead yet then?

"My heart beats differently".
You seem to be everywhere in the comment section, spreading "negativity".
Optimistic Otaku
He has appeared from more than two chains already. "He hasn't told anyone to agree with him", please read the chains thoroughly. Yes, the comment may seem to be for "laughs". But if you think psychologically, his thoughts and emotion (can be observed through his/her chains). You'll probably understand the "drift" of the comment. "Small words, deep meaning" as I would say.
Let me make this clear. I did not specify any type of chains he was in, I said he has appeared in more than two. Next, I did not say he has "Insulted anyone for their opinions", "Demanded they believe him", and "Claimed his opinions were facts". As I said "if you think psychologically", I don't wanna type down a whole Wikipedia of what I mean by psychologically. So I'll break it down on my own term; My opinion.
"You seem to be everywhere in the comment section, spreading "negativity"." My opinion. "You seem" was already a hint on to it. I did not condemn what he/she was doing. I simply said what I wanna say, opinion in other words. Also, tone down the "all". You're stating everyone. Not everyone is a "one liner".
"your confusing the heck out of your audience". You mean i'm confusing you, stop putting everyone in it. Your understanding in the term "all" is "vague". "literally everyone" *sigh*.
"Why not put in a bunch? Why not talk to a BUNCH of people?" That's exactly what they're doing outside of TH-cam. They don't wanna waste their time in such pathetic things such as an argument in the internet. When you can have an actual argument IN REAL LIFE. But if your still not satisfied with my answer to your question, make a survey. Ask EVERYONE, literally everyone. Have fun with that :)
You only got one thing wrong. Mitsuha was also going to write "I love you". Her first stroke doesn't match "み" but "す"
But it could also be the first stroke of the kanji 三.
Pixxz I wouldn't say that for certain since the the Kanji does start with _ but I think Shinkai did that to leave it ambiguous.
That is true. But the mostly write their names in Hiragana in the movie.
Karishma Changlani remember when Taki was gonna write her name in his palm before he forgot he started with the same line mitsuha did
I agree, there would be no point in writing it in kanji. If you want someone to remember your name you don't write characters that could be read differently than how you intend it.
If you like "Your Name" then you will like "Koe no Katchi"(A Silent Voice) 😀
KevinNeon what is Silent voice about??i need some informations before watching

Jayesh Thombre I watched it few months ago and it's amazing
It's my FAVORITE anime movie of all time!
The ending of this movie was freaking fantastic
Mitshua didn't "just miss" him at the train station, she was there three years early haha.
I'm simple, I see anything on *Your Name* aaand I click on video.
bruh u failed that so badly
It doesn't really matter but the crosswalk after the date and the cross walk where they miss each other aren't the same. The first is in roppongi without a doubt due to the street signs and roppongi hills in the background and the second is probably in shinjuku, which is where taki lives. As you note the backgrounds in this film are crazily realistic, to the point that I was able to get a sense of where Taki lives from the scene where mizuha first steps outside of taki's apartment because landmarks like roppongi hills, midtown and Tokyo tower are drawn so clearly. Hell, the building across the street from my old house was clearly visible. By contrast, mizuha's hometown is fictional (although the region it's in and the towns nearby that get featured when taki goes to look for her are totally real) and has this dreamy, not quite real feeling to it from the beginning. I found myself trying to figure out where it is wondering if there even is a place like it or it's just supposed to be a composite of many other beautiful rural towns, but when I saw the scene they visit the place where the god body is I knew then that the rural scenes are not supposed to be taken literally.
I just watched my FIRST anime movie and holy wow what a start. This was absolutely amazing it literally pulled my heart out of my chest idk how I stumbled upon this but I am so glad I did.
OMG, Not gonna lie! I love this anime with my whole heart! I listen its soundtrack everyday and all the time and rewatch it almost every week. And even now after 5 years from wathing it for the first time I'm still wathing videos like yours
"The style is the substance." You summed up a feeling I have about a lot of stuff that I love in five words.
Watched this on the plane back from Japan, even on a shitty little United Airlines screen it looked amazing and was funny as hell to boot.
Big T. Larrity i watched it on Japan airlines and then in theatres - both times were fuckin sweet
Every frame of this movie can literally be a wallpaper
Bro we all cried when taki found mitsuha..
Please suggest me more anime movies like this.
I’m sure you’ve heard this but “a silent voice” or basically any other film written by kimi no na wa’s director whose name has slipped my memory
IceTiger Yurio Makoto Shinkai
Andres Garcia ah thanks :)
Wolf Children is also a really good anime movie. You won't regret watching it!
Place promised in our early days.
Seen a ton of your videos but I'm subbing for Your Name. Best film ever can't wait for more on it.
I'm pretty sure Jeoff isn't gonna make any more vids on it...POSSIBLY, a "What's in a scene", but his content doesn't tend to repeat itself...
Unless it's SAO
i cri evritiem :'(
Ähm ok. O.o
I don't know why but whenever I hear the name of this movie I automatically think your name in April for some damn reason, like i get your lie in April and your name mixed up, I'm so dumb😆
Dragonchat lmao same, that anime was also really good imo. Sad asf tho.
Probably because both give you depression
Dragonchat kimi no na wa (your name) Shigatsu wa Kimi no uso(your lie in april)
That one broke me! Damn it.
M FC ME TOO :’(
Your name was the most insane film experience ive had in a while. It was such a refreshing take on body swapping and romance and an actually accurate portrayal of youth culture and relationships
Lmao the Kimi no Nawa haters are hilarious.
Ger Vang there are haters????
Kat no matter what media there will always be haters.
I don't see why people not liking a film is such a bad thing.
You say hater like it's a bad thing, but people like GoatJesus and WeebTrashProductions who have made videos on why they dislike the movie have made valid points.
RayOfTruth I don't think the original commenter said it is bad to be a hater.
Either way, I really don't care. To each their own. If the hate the film, it's their right to do so
RayOfTruth there’s a long path between hate and dislike
There is no physical way i can legally consume this film is Australia. RIP
DIO BRANDO Illegally then...
exactly
ur fucking Dio, why bother legal
I DIO. Will give credit where credit is due and "try" to consume "QUALITY" content the most legal way possible.
DIO BRANDO same hear. I did end up watching through a friend, and I enjoyed it a lot. If you really wanna support it, the best thing to do is buy it legit when it's finally released. At least that's what I plan on doing. It may be more expensive then the cinema, but if it's for something you enjoyed and wanna support, there is no better way. (Plus owning the physical media is always damn cool.)
“Especially when you watch this op over and over again”
*winks in insanity*
"Gives us a happy ending for the first time in his miserable god damn life!"
My thoughts were the same my friend. Lmao
Loved your name and a silent voice, both really well put together and overall both very touching stories.
Just discovered this yesterday and now I am obsessed, I got to admit i only took this long because I thought that the title "your name" meant it was a choose your own adventure when I saw it on Netflix.
Helps that RADWIMPS did the song... seriously, I've been listening to that song on repeat since I saw the movie a couple weeks ago. HELP
"Your Name." Made me cry because its everything in that anime that was me...
Man takes almost a year to get this movie in a theater in my area of the US, but F-ing SAO is out in a month. The only justice is Your Name is still playing in the Austin area after 2 weeks, and SAO only had a one day event. How long are we going to have to wait for A Silent Voice?
Optimistic Otaku I'm sure you have the barin capacity to write an objective review.
'barin'
Great analysis. Those details are incredible!
Every time I hear that intro I cry. Literally, that beat from where the song kicks off with the guy giving off a high pitch note to the solo just makes me tear up. This movie is incredibly emotional and the best anime movie of all time.
RADWIMPS did an awesome job on this soundtrack
It only gets better after the OP. I can’t wait until “Weathering with You”
im seeing weathering with you in theater. i cant wait for it
Mitsuha (Her time is 3 years before Taki's in the movie)
She says that Taki is the same as her when they switch bodies. So when they see each other again Mitsuha is 3 years older than Taki.
Rarely agree with Mother Basement but always love to hear his takes 🥰 they are always food for thought
Great video. Also, I personally really like the music playing in the background quietly.
I didn't know movies had op's I've only seen shell
they usually don't
Shell got an opening (kind of)
Patrick Dawson They almost never do, but this one did. It was kind of jarring at first but it actually fits really well.
I prefer it to be called OST rather than an OP
ost is only the sound, that is retarded.
I LOVE THIS FILM OMG, and omg i died by the scene with the i love you omg i started crying so bad
Just watched it today and I really loved it. Your Name is so deserving of its praise. Both it and A Silent Voice are both beautiful films and I personally highly recommend both :)
seen this twice, but I now have a much greater appreciation for this film, you are very very good at reviewing films
U FINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!! I was waiting so long for u to analyse Kimi No Na Wa, as I loved ur Shigatsu Wa Kimi No Uso analysis, rant of hate on Sword Art Online, and comparison of Baby Steps.
Honestly it might be my favorite movie. I am an artist so the beauty of this movie takes my breath away. I know it has flaws but to me it's perfect
God this movie was too fucking good.
honestly go watch it. I went in with stupid high expectations and was blown away
When she finds "I love you" on her hand instead of his name,
It hit me right hard in the feels
Wonderful analysis of Your Name's OP.
Just one little detail you missed: at 10:35, that was not the scene where they had left the kuchikamizake and was walking home with her sister and grandmother. That was the location the day after Mitsuha had cut her hair where she is walking with Tessie and Sayaka away from the Autumn Festival and sees the comet fall on Itomori.
Why she cuts her hair though
You did this movie justice men. Great job. Im touched by the how you did the video.
This movie was pretty fucking great.
They are making a live action film to your name and I just hope they do it justice.. this film is to beautiful to be soiled by a live action adaptation but at the same time I’m super excited that they are making it.
I once did a reveiw for school on this movie, I choose it myself. Im glad I did, beacause my teacher said it makes them want to watch the movie, and I said it was on netflix on the reveiw, so its a possibility.
This video might be my favorite video of yours and I have spent like days just watching your videos
The effort you put in your script gave me goosebumps. Also "Your Name" goosebumps were there too XD Anyways, you earned a subscriber 💜
Ya better do A Silent Voice when it comes out in the states. It's too good..
It's definitely a lot better than your name, and I haven't even watched it.
Too bad it hasn't even been licensed in the states, yet.
Leonardo Fernandes Lol, what? That makes no sense and just sounds contrarian.
I've seen it and will have to point out that for 'teenage/youth feel/enjoyment', Kimi no Na Wa. is the way to go.
If you want a full emotion rollercoaster then get ready, Koe no Katachi will absolutely take you for a round of laughs, anger, sadness and happiness in that exact order.
Koe no Katachi literally makes Kimi no Na Wa. Look like a pure slice of life anime that does poorly in romance department.
Reaaaad the manga!!!
Pls hit my head so i can forget everything so i can watch this again with the same vibes
Spoiler for those of you who haven't seen Weathering with you yet.
You know that Taki and Mitsuha are in weathering with you, meaning... weathering with you takes place in the same universe as Your Name, there are also hints. The final scenes of your name when Taki is in the cafe, it's raining. And after the rain, it starts snowing, and on Weathering with you there is a scene where Its raining then it starts snowing. And when Taki and Mitsuha are running around trying to find each other, there's a bunch of puddles, meaning it stopped raining. And that means it's the morning of the day when Hina sacrificed herself. And there is a huge stormy looking cloud, and on weathering with you, the scene where Hodoka is running on the tracks, theres a huge stormy looking cloud.
@@myth3300 Actually it doesn't, as you can see, the ending of your name showed time passing and showed cherry blossoms in the ground meaning it is spring, even in the ending it's still is spring and as we know the sunshine only lasted for a day and it's suppoed to be summer, not spring. Unless of course they're not in tokyo in which case it makes perfect sense
This might contain spoliers
If you read the novel of Weathering with you, at the end when Hodaka goes to Taki's grandmother's house, he sees a photo of Taki's wedding. So, hopefully he married Mitsuha 😆😆😆
Glad I watched this, Great analysis man! I have come to appreciate this movie even more. I too watch the op of this movie from time to time.
Wow! And I really thought I couldn't love the movie any more, but you just made it SO MUCH deeper than I had thought it was on first view! Very good video, I'm looking forward to seeing more!
It's my favourite film period.
This movie is basically the filler episodes of any typical fantasy anime combined into a film with the exception that *everything is fucking beautiful, I mean look at that rain animation*
GamingJar OMG yes, that rain animation! Especially near the end, there's a particular scene where it's dropping into a puddle, and each drop creates ripples that are painstakingly animated individually and are affected by each other!
This movie is BEAUTIFUL!
Not really, because the story is impactful. Filler episodes aren't impactful.
GamingJar wait, how?
+Anime Summit I can understand why people love the movie aesthetically, but on a storytelling level? What story is there? The two leads are bland in terms of design and personality, existing solely so the audience can self-insert (same strategy that Romeo and Juliet used), have 0 romantic chemistry, no dialogue that indicates a deeper connection, they interact like business partners.
+Kazai
Ah, it seems you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean about this movie feeling like a filler episode as in the story of the movie if was part of an anime series will most likely be condensed into a 5~10 minute long narration.
In some anime this was done when it is adapted from a LN, for example Re:Zero condensed the story about Wilhelm from an entire LN into a narration tool within the featured episode. In other words, Wilhelm's story alone is capable of being an entire story line for a featured film while at the same time is considered as a filler to the main series
Every second of this movie can be a wallpaper
Brilliant review man. I've tried to explain to lots of friends why this movie hooked me instantly. This puts it infinitely better than I did haha.
I came back to this video after several years, and I kid you not, within the first minute on seeing the OP again teared up. Your name hits different.
the 2 funniest moments of the video, more or less quoted:
"because they had to save their budget somewhere"
"and unambiguosly happy ending for the 1° time in his miserable god damn life"
this is poetry
The graphics of this movie, is just....uh I can't explain in simple words.
I have seen the movie 5-6 times. But I never get bored watching it.
It was my first Anime movie, when I was getting into Anime. And dayuum,I was shocked, that Anime could be this great.
It will remain my fav movie of all time... :-)...
Don't you think guys/girls..??
yeah i agree!
you watched it 5-6 times already? i first watched it yesterday at the time of writing this, and i made a promise to myself that every 8 months i will watch the movie, so.. next time i watch the movie will be december
Watch Akira 1988, akira has better animation and the plot is epic.
I know this anime is spectacular but the way you have explained it. It made it sound even more amazing 👍
I don't think any other movie can come close to this movie's story, animation and foreshadowing
Got back into anime a little bit ago and watching stuff like Your Name and A Silent Voice is just genuine bliss
