Its better if you go in completely blind with this movie.

This movie is amazing

It is scary how sometimes you are soo of point and other times you are scaringly close to the point. I wont say which it is now either. It is just scary.

Nobody explained what this love history is about because it´d be a huge spoiler... just enjoy the ride.

[@ManOfCulture6969]

Btw, idk will u see the comment, but if u liked this song done by RADWIMPS, u gotta react to Suzume no Tojimari Theme Song, its crazy good aswell

[@KayyyG]

if that MV made you feel that way, about the whole longing for each other and not being there and long distance relationship, then it could only mean that the editor did a great job on the MV :)

[@davidreacts8786]

I wouldn't say Your name was a story about a long distance relationship. The other Makoto Shinkai film 5 cm per second I would say is one.

[@KayyyG]

@@davidreacts8786 haha dont want to discuss much here cuz of spoilers but the elements of LDR are definitely there

‘Your Name’ is a romance anime with a hint of drama and comedy. For me the word ‘beautiful’ is the best word to describe this anime.

[@jumper2149]

Yes. Minor spoiler: I expected some kind of not that funny body swap comedy, but when it was over I just thought "damn, this was... beautiful."

[@GOTGames]

Ah definitely one I'd love to watch! 💯❤️

the ending is bad tho :(

[@devonmarauder1388]

@@typekkleks4013 no.. it is perfect

[@srlandauer]

“Your Name” is beautiful and best experienced without knowing exactly what you’re getting into. I also highly recommend “A Silent Voice” for another emotional experience. And if you’re cool with potentially sobbing like a baby during a livestream, “Grave of the Fireflies” is the way to go.

[@LooKingG00d]

No "A girl who leapt through time"?

@@LooKingG00d There are too many amazing anime movies to recommend lol.

[@Pebble-With-a-Pen]

hotarubi no mori e is another one that will make you cry. I thought it was well done.

[@paulreitz3539]

OMG! the level of sadness I felt from "Grave of the Fireflies" was physically painful. I haven't been brave enough to watch it again.

[@Helmir]

Sparkle is an absolutely fantastic song. Definitely recommend Your Name. It's also one of the things where I wouldn't want to tell a potential viewer anything about it.

[@GOTGames]

I don't know anything and I will keep that way until I watch it 💯💯

[@gagebozarth8000]

For the movie Your Name, Radwimps did 4 songs, “Yumetourou”, “Zenzenzense”, Sparkle, and “Nandemonaiya”. You’re correct that the song just cut abruptly, whoever uploaded the video cut out about half of the song. There’s a concert orchestra version of each of these songs that’s I’d recommend. The one for Sparkle and Nandemonaiya are my personal favorites. Id also recommend “Is there still anything love can do.” and “Grand Escape” both by Radwimps, for another movie by the same director as Your Name. “Grand Escape” is one of my personal favorite songs, the escalation of the song and the voice of the singer get me pumped up every time I hear it.

[@ThatFoxGirl]

I’m pretty sure they did instrumentals for the entire movie but I could be wrong on that. Agreed on Grand Escape though, love that song.

[@Dustin017.]

Grand Escape is Goat

[@androkainet]

Zenzenzense is my favourite song from this movie. Highly recommended.

[@officialnoonon]

"Just a dream" is an even better Your name AMV.

[@chlebiik1]

@Werefox Yeah they did, I love Kataware-doki, and Date

[@zodiac3409]

It's hard to explain why, but this song hits me on such a personal level I find it hard not to choke up a lil any time I hear it. Absolutely love this song to death.

[@GOTGames]

❤️

[@seankidney6235]

Can’t express how much I love this movie. Such a beautiful film and an easy one to show any new or non-anime fan, which I have done several times, and 100% of the time they have enjoyed it. Would love it if you did the ending song "Nandemonaiya" as well.

[@shirobell]

Makoto Shinkai really did well with "Your Name" the story, the plot, and the view... Such a masterpiece. I remember watch this movie 7 Times in a row...

[@jonathangebert3006]

Many of Makoto Shinkai's works carry similar themes of love and longing and always with gorgeous animations. If you like Your Name, I suggest also watching his other works like Voices of a Distant Star, The Garden of Words, and The Place Promised in Our Early Days to name a few. Voices of a Distant Star is especially amazing since Makoto did almost everything (directing, producing, animating and voice acting) himself from his home back in 2000.

[@dedd2981]

Don't forget "weathering with you"

[@jonathangebert3006]

@@dedd2981 I haven't watched it yet myself so I didn't include it but I heard it is really good as well.

[@YoongisHands]

Kimi no na wa is one of my all time favorite movies!! I cry every time!🥹💜 Edit: To me, even though I love Disney, anime movies, especially Ghibli, are some of the most beautiful movies ever made with some of the most amazing soundtracks!

[@deninurwahid7804]

actually the other scenes are mediocre except for the scene where taki meets mitsuha on the hill until a meteor falls accompanied by a song from sparkle radwimps that is the best scene with points worth 1000 from a scale of 1-10.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

Ghibli’s style just hits different, even if I haven’t enjoyed the narratives much.

[@Bagriwl]

Honestly this movie is one of the best, most emotional journeys when watching and I cannot recommend it enough. A tear-jerker for sure!

[@JaMayhem]

It’s stunning just how much of the story he picked up from only this! Testament to the mv hitting the mail on the head

[@gogetassj5115]

The ending of your name is also amazing. This is easily the best anime movie I have ever seen.

[@aquarius8891]

I like this movie but mugen train demon slayer hit me so hard

[@jacobharmes9320]

Bro freaking a silent voice

[@someoneweeb]

One of the few Japanese songs that I've completely memorized from my heart. The movie is beautiful, it's just an amazing experience. Seeing you react to this made my day. You should definitely watch your name

[@fabiospar]

I recommend Yuuri's new song "Christmas Eve Acoustic ver."

[@StaSet_]

You could listen to "Is there still anything that love can do?" from Weathering with You(Tenki no Ko), Radwimps sings this one too.

[@evilmandrake]

Your Name is one of the best anime movies I've seen. I think it's best to go into the movie blind as possible.

[@danielgwynne7266]

Yeah blind is def best for your name

[@danielgwynne7266]

@Default I only thought silent voice was a tiny bit better

[@effortlessfury]

@default7713 A good movie, but different. I would not recommend them for any of the same reasons.

[@evilmandrake]

@Default it's cool to have a different opinion.

[@SuhiroSenpai]

Luke, my boy, you reacted to the short, edited version xD And yes, for once, the "movie version" is the longer, full one Excited to know you're considering Your Name for a first anime movie. Definitely will try be here for that

[@effortlessfury]

Be careful my dude, there are spoilers in the comment already, and this movie is best experienced blind. I hope you get a chance to watch it, it's an amazing experience (whether sub or dub, I've seen both and they're both great). Also, it ends strangely probably due to the MV editing.

[@xahal]

The original trailers for the movie were really great IMO. They hooked you on the "we switch bodies" part, and omitted every other aspect of the movie.

[@effortlessfury]

@@xahal I saw the movie without even knowing about THAT aspect. Was a great surprise.

[@erufailon4723]

Your Name was one of my first anime movies and it certainly left an impression on me. Amazing movie, like perfectly crafted to be a crowd-pleaser. I do like the director's less known works too though - I've seen all of his movies except one

[@Ted_Kenzoku]

Mio from hololive did a cover of this song and it's an absolute masterpiece.

[@toristeunebrink5705]

YESSSSSS

[@shoukun5522]

Once you watch the movie, this particular song will hit you even more than what you think. Especially the siren scene, that was a goosebumps!

[@Hide1440]

Since you watched this, you have to check out "Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?" by RADWIMPS. It's a song for the "sequel" of Your name called Weathering With You (takes place in the same universe as Your name but with different cast). Personally I believe it's the band's best song and you should definitely check it out since it also has like 100+ million views. As anime movies go, Your name and A Silent Voice are the best to come out yet. While Your name tackles a more romantic approach, A Silent Voice is a realistic and relatable story. I am biased to say A Silent Voice takes the cake when it comes to movies.

[@GReaperZz]

Ookami Mio from hololive or in other names is the mother of hololive did a cover of this song and I think it's a great start to Mio and continuing the dive into the rabbit hole

[@ccboi7851]

Yes. I think Mio’s cover of Sparkle is the best cover out there.

[@Ted_Kenzoku]

Yes! Mio's cover of this song is a masterpiece

[@zaolow2863]

It's one of my favorite songs and also one of my favorite animated films. The story is incredible, the drawings are magnificent, and the music is always in harmony with the scenes of the film. If you feel like that just with this video, you absolutely have to watch the movie! I get chills just listening to this song over and over again. You must also listen to "Grand Escape" by Radwimps & Toko Miura. It comes from the movie "Weathering with you" by Makoto Shinkai too, creator of Your name! As usual, I loved the video. Thanks to you !

[@azurezeed]

5 centimeters per second is a movie made by the same director as Your Name and is a lot like the idea this MV gave you of this movie, but also soul crushing, one of my favorite movies.

Zenzenzense is one of RADWIMPS's best songs and it's from this movie as well. I have shown that song to people who don't even like J-POP and I have not seen a single person not say "This is one of the best songs I have ever listened to".

[@ManonLcz]

Your Name is an incredibly good movie, the animation and music are top tier. I improved an essay/presentation on it for a philosophy class on mix art medium (dont know how to translate in english but basically how different types of art could be combined to create an art piece) for extra grading a semester and got the highest possible grade as well as managed to convince classmate who were not into anime AT ALL and they came in class the next day telling me they enjoyed it a lot and were surprised anime could be that high quality lol great memories

This movie made me cry way more than I’d like to admit. Every time I hear this song I tear up just a bit 😭

[@mohidahmed4739]

There is an english version of this song too for the english dub of the movie. I watched it in dub. Also, the movie 'I want to eat your pancreas' (wierdest name ever xD) is a great romantic movie although I particularly hate romantic anime in general, but this one's still one of my favourite movies.

Referring back to your BABYMETAL reactions, I think you'd absolutely LOVE this band called Sokoninaru if you're a metal/rock fan. The amount of executions these 3 people can do alone in a song is MIND BLOWING. Specific song I'd recommend is "Tenohira de Odoru"

[@Linnxanbjd]

Your name is my absolute favorite movie, it always makes me cry :')

[@KariHaruka]

Makoto Shinkai (the director of Your Name) has directed some of my all time favourite anime films. With Your Name being one of my Top 5 (alongside one of his other films '5 Centimeters Per Second'). And the introduction of Radwimp's into the sound of his films has helped to further elevate the storytelling of Shinkai's films. Shinkai and Radwimps returned for the film 'Suzume no Tojimari' that was released in November 2022. And in an interview, Shinkai said that the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami served as an inspiration for the film. Shinkai's idea for 'Your Name' can also find it's roots back to the 2011 natural disaster that struck Japan. On visiting Yuriage, a town in Miyagi prefecture, that was devastated by the tsunami. The thought came to Shinkai that it could've been his town that was destroyed by this disaster. And whilst the disaster in the film isn't a tsunami, he still wanted the viewers to think about how they would feel if their positions were swapped and it was their home that was destroyed by an unstoppable natural force that brings devastation.

[@Urzu07]

Fun fact: RADWIMPS actually recorded each song in English so if you watch it in Japanese, it will be the Japanese version and if you watch the English dub, it will be the English version.

[@chuchu5923]

[@murmel4415]

It's drama and romance And actually it's a 1:30h movie. Fun Fact: before The demon slayer movie aired, it was the best doing Japanese Movie

[@androkainet]

Your initial guess about the story nailed it this time, good job! *Your Name* is the most financially successful anime movie released to date and that for a reason.

[@13thdarkness]

This is a fantastic movie! From the animation to the themes it's Makoto Shinkai's best work. Nandemonaiya is the best song from Your Name for me. Ikura from YOASOBI actually did a cover of it and it's one of my favorite covers. Definitely recommend both the original and her version!

[@flagg2496]

This movie man... 30s and i'm already tearing up. Wish i could watch it again for the first time.

[@RedDawnRocker]

Luke, in answer to your question ... is it a drama? ... a romance? ... a sci-fi? ... all I will say is it's a true work of art. The reason it's easy to love Makoto Shinkai, when asked why he thinks Your;Name became such a huge hit, he answered he had no clue. He is a truly humble man who has a talent he himself fails to recognize. His other works, Voices of a Distant Star, Garden of Words, Children Who Chase Lost Voices and The Place Promised in Our Early Days are all fantastic watches as well. When it comes to anime movies Makoto Shinkai is the king of beauty/romance anime movies, Satashi Kon the king of darker surreal anime movies and Studio Ghibli (and their spin-off of breakway talent, Studio Ponoc) are the top when it comes to family-fantasy anime movies. You can't go wrong choosing anything from any of the 3 camps. Another anime movie you may like is an older undervalued one called Hotarubi no Mori e (To the Forest of Firefly Lights). It's very much in the veign of Shinkai's work. To this day, I'd put it in my top 5 anime movies (where it's been since first seeing it 10 years ago).

[@Clipping_filming]

Your Name. This movie is never greasy. I've watched it over 8 times... every time literately brings my tears.

[@jennyjenjira4572]

Radwimps never misses when it comes to OST for Makoto Shinkai's movies. You can even check them all. The songs in Your Name and Weathering with you are all good.

[@Alex-dg5oi]

Another anime movie that is really good is A Silent Voice.Its my second favorite movie first Being Your Name

[@Davkas]

Man, this is such a good movie! It's impossible not to watch this and get emotional, it's so good. And this song is so perfect for this movie as well. Honestly, it's best to go into the movie not knowing anything about it. It has way more impact that way. That said, believe it or not, you're feeling about them not being in the same place is REALLY apt for the situation and you'll see why once you see it.

[@GossgamingGG]

Your Name, Then watch "Weathering with You" Two of Makato Shinkai's Master pieces Tied together by plot and character cameos. Each of His movies have different, General themes towards love.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

This band also composed some other stuff by this director, and IMO their best OST is for Weathering With You. I’d recommend that OST more than Your Name, though as a movie it’s messier. The best song from Weathering With You is Grand Escape. The full version is five minutes and it’s five minutes of perfection.

[@isaac_paech]

Highly HIGHLY recommend 'Bubble feat.Uta' by Eve from the soundtrack for the anime movie 'Bubble'. While not involved with this exact song, Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan composer) actually composed the original score for this movie!

[@thomasheath7712]

A RADWIMPS song I think you would enjoy is from the anime movie "Weathering With You" and is called "Grand Escape". Try to watch the live version (Anti-Anti Generation Tour 2019) as I always get goosebumps toward the end when the audience participates.

Your name, Weathering with you and The garden of words, 5 cm per second, are a few of the masterpieces made by Makoto Shinkai. Radwimps soundtracks are purely masterpieces, I highly recommend you to watch all those I mentioned before and A Silent Voice and I want to eat your pancreas. I absolutely guarantee that you're going to completely enjoy it 💯 By the way, I recommend you to react to Uchiage Hanabi from the anime movie "Fireworks" it is magical, no words to describe that OST, it has more than 500 million views 🙏❤️🔥

"Kimi no na wa" or "Your name" is a great movie, full of symbolisms and a very good story! You're very correct on "Not even been there" "always missing each other" "like a memory "...I'd highly recommend you check this out! This movie's art and music are very telling!

God, 君の名は is one of my absolute fabulous movies, I've got the blue-ray with my just now, it's such a fantastic movie. I also watched it without any context or plot knowledge aside from it being about a boy (Taki Tachibana) and a girl (Mitsuha Miyamizu) switching places at random

[@rakhaalif8037]

You can check out their latest song called "KANATA HALUKA" for the next one. It's one of theme songs for anime movie Suzume no Tojimari. Suzume itself is the latest film from Makoto Shinkai, director of Your Name and Weathering with You. note: There's a English CC in the MV if you're wondering ^^

[@sagi3933]

Ah yes, the 2 anime movies that are considered THE top tier picks of recent times which are "Your Name" (or "Kimi no Na wa") and "A Silent Voice" (or "Koe no Katachi", translating literally to " The Form of Voice"), but let me also enlighten you to a bunch of other more well-known ones below~ Older classic anime movies that are considered more or less top tier are usually Studio Ghibli movies like for example "Spirited Away" (all more fantasy-themed but beautiful, handdrawn masterpieces), but also classics like "Akira", "Paprika", "Ghost in the Shell", "Ninja Scroll" or "Grave of the Fireflies". Movies I personally think are also worth mentioning (with short synopsis giving a rough idea, but no spoilers) are: - In this Corner of the World (plays in the time period around WW2) - The Anthem of the Heart (tags would include "students" and "girl who cannot talk") - Tokyo Godfathers (3 homeless find a baby around christmas and things get interesting) - Cowboy Bebop: Knocking on Heaven's Door (stand-alone-movie one can watch without watching the actual show) - Gintama: Yorozuya Forever (can also be watched without watching the show, though it will be hella confusing, but still enjoyable af) - Madoka Magica Movie 3: Rebellion (the controversial continuation of the series and 2 other movies, way too good not to include here~) - Violet Evergarden (the series is a beautiful masterpiece, and so are the movies it has. Recommend both series and movies, can't go wrong)

[@fireheart6267]

For anime movies I'd recommend your name and spirited away. My favorite 2 movies ever. As for what the movie is about. You really just gotta watch it, saying anything more than what you know would be a spoiler. Also for other music to react to id recommend shwabadi he's another nerdcore artist

[@OrionKaelinClips]

your whole feeling of "long distance relationship"/"missing each other" is pretty spot on! MakotoShinkai's whole filmography often revolves around that similar theme, though in different ways

[@sleepyash0666]

Not only this song.. actually all of Your Name soundtrack is wonderful and RADWIMPS nailed it!

[@yyuuttoo1015]

To notify I think that there were 2 or 3 more songs to this movie apart from sparkle so I recommend lessening to the rest as well.

[@srkares]

4:55 i love that you absolutely hecking nailed it and are doubting yourself this much

[@nekoStrangerJunior]

It's kind of fantastic how on point you are with the feeling you get for the story. XD

[@andymartin6084]

Besides classics: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away (...), for a Non Anime Fan I recommend: Your Name A Silent Voice Wolf Children Summer Wars Redline

[@newbie4789]

As someone who started anime with your name and always watched anime movies... I think I can suggest a few. 'Your name' is obviously my 1st choice too and it's a really magical experience. 'The silent voice' is my personal favourite and is arguably better than Your name. And it's much more emotional and involved story and has some really serious moments 'Grave of the fireflies' is actually a movie based on an anecdotal novel by someone who was a kid in WW2. It's a really emotional story. I strongly believed that every school should screen that movie for the students as an awareness towards war. 'Wolf children' and 'Summer wars' are two movies directed by Mamoru Hosoda. Both has this amazing heartwarming feel to it. First one is about a mother taking care of two kids in a country side and then growing up... It's amazing. Second one is just a massive family all together under a Grandma's loving shelter. Two movies that connects you to your families. Any Ghibli movie. I would say Princess mononoke , Spirited away are my favorites. My neighborhood Totoro is also in the list but it's a children's movie (some people actually did point out some not so childish themes in the movie though )

[@Vasharan]

Makoto Shinkai has been one of my favorite anime directors since the days he was a poor college student animating shorts by himself on his laptop (She and Her Cat, Voices of a Distant Star). His works are always fueled by a keen observation of human nature, and he knows just how to tug at the audience's heartstrings in a way that feels earned. Your Name is probably his biggest success (it out-performed Star Wars Episode VII at the Japanese box office), but my favorite works of his are 5 Centimeters per Second and Garden of Words. Looking forward to his new film, Suzume, slated for Western release in April 2023.

[@Aan-kun]

Can't wait for you to check the other OSTs and the movie itself.

[@yozarian86]

This is one for the movie list sure. I recommend Howls Moving Castle, but Your Name or Spirited Away are good choices too.

Kimi no Na wa/Your Name is in my top ten for anime movies. Others in my top ten I'd highly recommend are Koe no Katachi/A Silent Voice; Bakemono no Ko/The Boy and the Beast; Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki/Wolf Children; Hotarubi no Mori e/Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light; Summer Wars; and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi/Spirited Away. Though if you're into art I'd also recommend Sarusuberi: Miss Hokusai.

Bro, you need to watch it. No words can properly explain how good it is.

I highly recommend this movie. It is beautiful, funny, heartbreaking and heartwarming. One of the best romances put to screen! It'll make you believe in love.

My wife and I played this song at our wedding as we walked down the aisle right after we got married! It's such a beautiful song. Reminds me of the more innocent younger days her and I had together before life hit like the storm that it is. We've been together for 11 total years now.
