Kimi no Na wa: A Tale of Connection and Destiny
Your Name
Hello anime lovers, I'm back with another anime: Your Name. If there's a beginner, I would ask them to start with this anime because it's phenomenal. I feel this anime movie is a perfect choice for new anime watchers. In fact, I have suggested this anime to many of my friends who don't watch anime, but they still loved it very much. Also, they started to watch anime often; this anime has influenced them to start watching more anime. I will leave a review about it, and let's have a discussion about why you should watch this anime as a beginner.
The music that is playing in the background is just amazing; it makes the viewers want to watch this anime more. It's shown that the main protagonists are two people: one boy and one girl. They talk about switching their places, which means they switch souls into different bodies. This kind of story is very appreciated. They don't seem to know each other, but they switch their bodies, and that's the interesting part—to find out how it happened and why. If you watch the trailer once, you would like it very much but it does not serve the half of the anime version which you will realize later that how emotionally wrecked they can make you feel.
The story begins with Mitsuha; she is the daughter of the mayor of a small mountain town. She's a high school student and lives with her sister and her grandmother. She has no interest in her father's electoral campaign; instead, she desires to leave the town because she finds it boring and wants to try her luck in Tokyo.
On the other hand, there's Taki; he is also a high school student in Tokyo. Besides studying, he works part-time in an Italian restaurant. He wants to become an architect or an artist. Every night, a strange thing happens: he dreams of waking up in a high school girl's body who lives in a small mountain town, and that is none other than Mitsuha.
When you want to watch this movie, you're about to embark on an emotional rollercoaster that you won't be ready to handle. To be honest, I was never mentally prepared for this movie. This masterpiece was released in 2016, and now it's 2025, but this anime is still holding that higher place. Well, even with real actors, you can't get this quality of acting. The movie might not have much to offer, but the animations were great, and one thing I would say is that you can't review emotions; you can only feel them.
This movie will break anyone down in tears. I am never going to forget the emotions I went through while watching this anime. I don't need my memories to be erased to watch this movie again because I will never be bored of it. The plot, the storyline—everything was simple yet gorgeous. Why would anyone not like this anime? I feel that those who are watching anime for the first time would love this at first glance.
I am somehow emotionally attached to this movie; hats off to the team who made this phenomenal anime. This type of anime will make you believe in fate and to cherish every connection. The powerful visuals and plot wrap everything around beautifully. Makoto Shinkai is one of my favorite directors and novelists; his works are fine as Oscar-level winnings. The storyline keeps you going because you want to know what happens until the end. It keeps you wondering about what's going to happen next. I feel that no artwork has emerged to suppress this masterpiece.
I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this movie. Let me know in the comment section if you liked this anime movie or not.

Thanks for reading 🌷

Makoto Shinkai really did magic! Every moment touched my heart. It was great.
This movie was freaking amazing. It should be watched in theatres. The art is simply the best. The songs actually blew me away because I I wasn't expecting it to be that good.
Yeah! One of my favorite supernatural, romance and fantasy anime! Ever since I watched this, this will always come to mind when it comes to magical and romance, at least one of the many notable ones I reminisce.
So many years of this film and nobody forgets it, and rightly so, it is a complete heritage. I love it. Good post sweetie💌🌸
una hermosa película, excelente recomendación!

Good recommendation.

This one was the initial anime I thought my younger sister would consider as the anime that stuck with her because I thought it was almost everybody's favorite, but I guess she's really not into romantic ones (straight ones especially haha). It's one of the frequent anime reviewed here so it's undeniably popular among anime watchers—may it be they're new or old ones. It's a decent watch so I agree that this would be nice for new watchers—especially those who are non-otaku.
At the beginning I laughed with the story, how they exchanged bodies and what each of them did with the body of the other haha 😂 but as the story progressed it became more touching and shocking, I did not expect that outcome, so for my taste it was great! 😢
