Your Name (2016) Absolutely Destroyed Me (Reaction)

Seriously, I found it tough to sleep the night I watched this. It really affected me emotionally. What a great film. I kinda cried even editing this video.

wonderful reaction, I love to see a reactor have strong reactions. I haven't seen many of the animes you react to, so a movie is a proper treat gg

[@akpebble2020]

Wow, your reaction is so satisfying. it brought me back to the time I first watched this movie...

[@yao106]

I'm glad that the videos you've reacted to are all movies/animes I've seen. Anyway, well done again!

[@JentWatches]

I’m glad to have you here! You clearly have good taste.

[@Kirito_2016]

This is my favorite anime movie of all time!!! It's so GOOD. There's just a magic to it that is unparalleled in my view. Thanks for the reaction.

[@sagerages6407]

loved your reaction man! this is one of my favourite movies it rlly hits

[@robertscott1949]

Good analysis! I especially liked your mention of real dreams and how they vanish in literally seconds after you wake up. It makes the "forgetting" in this movie more justifiable. The other movie you referred to, is it Five Centimeters per Second? It is another movie by the same director, Makoto Shinkai, but the two characters drift apart, despite a hopeful romantic reunion between the two of them at an empty train station at night in the winter mid-way through the film. One of them deals with the drifting apart better than the other. But it does end bittersweet like that.

[@skydamgd2788]

Your video was amazing. Your name is my favorite movie and it made me cry as well.

[@gammalucas]

Meu inglês não é muito bom, então vou falar em português mesmo. Adorei sua reação e é incrível como esse filme sempre me faz chorar cada vez que eu o assisto. Muito legal ver uma reação sincera, sem medo de chorar e de rir. Parabéns pelo vídeo! Me inscrevi no seu canal! Beijos do Brasil e sucesso!

[@lucasloponi626]

Makoto Shinkai queria fazer o mesmo que sempre fez, em todos os outros filmes dele, nada de finais felizes. Por isso lá pro fim tem tantos "passou perto" e, até um pouco antes de lançar, iria acabar quando eles se cruzam no trem. Entretanto eu acho que quanto mais ele deixou, mais tempo ele deu corda pra gente se enforcar, pq até no fim quando eles se encontram é triste. (pq é triste iria duas horas discorrendo aqui...) Poderia ser menos ou mais... Se ficaria melhor eu não sei, mas o sentimento quando acaba é que foi justo, o suficiente.

[@t_t356]

Just watched this movie for the first time today. Totally broke my expectations it was great

[@cedricmichaud552]

14:21 I just realized that writings into each other’s hand to communicate is linked to another important moment in the movie later on. How there is so much details you can find by looking it again

[@barbaramesquig]

Great reaction, I enjoyed it a lot

[@yarayasser1239]

Such a great movie, loved your reaction

[@mdhgamingez9272]

Wow bro your make the good reaction videos,I rarely see reactions like this. Nice bro👍

[@brianchin4347]

Amazing AMAZING reactions and analysis. You should check out Train to Busan and / or Silent Voice. (Bring tissues)

[@leiyavns]

Amazing movie & reaction. I always tearing up everytime 'i love u' scene. When i brave enough i want a tatto with your name in japanese word

[@danilopez7945]

Great reaction! I LOVED how you just let yourself feel and cry in front of a camera, instant follow! Could you please react to the anime The ancient magus bride (Mahoutsukai no yome)? Thank you!

[@chimchimpark9059]

Such a great movie I love ur reaction

[@jmab721]

Awesome reaction

[@LuizBarrosPoa]

Watch the movie again, you'll find clues and things connecting since the beginning. There is a lot of layers!

[@donald2818]

Great reaction man and great breakdown of your thoughts at the end.

[@SumitPalTube]

Was the reference at the end about another Makoto Shinkai movie? If you can, pls watch 25 centimetres per second.

[@herrproof]

I do like your reaction to this movie. I do think the main character is Musubi; if you think this too, I'm glad :-)

[@lloydchan9606]

beautiful

[@explody7836]

Very enjoyable reaction! I have to say, though, that I don't necessarily agree with your... narrative outlook, I guess? I mean, obviously, judge a narrative how you will, but I think placing emphasis on what the outcome of a story means for the characters misses that most stories are written for an audience. Like, an alternate ending for this movie where they don't speak to one another would be sad for Taki and Mitsuha a bit, but only tragic for the audience, because we're the only ones who know anything is actually wrong. The purpose of that story would be to explore what that particular feeling of restless malaise -- that sense that there's some unnamable thing missing from our lives -- could mean. I always recommend that people watching this movie also read Haruki Murakami's short story, "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" -- it feels like there are potentially some thematic connections (almost like that alternate Taki could be the narrator).

[@JentWatches]

Very interesting perspective! I admit maybe I’ve got a narrow view. But also I think it’s interesting saying something is ‘only’ tragic for the audience. I very well might be misunderstanding what you’re getting at (it happens a lot!) but the audience is a major part of what matters and whether a movie is a happy or sad ending is entirely determined by the audience’s reaction to it. So something being tragic for the audience in my mind IS a tragic story, because let’s face it the characters are fictional so it’s really only us that matter in the equation. At least that’s what I think.

[@explody7836]

I think I maybe just read too literally into what you were saying, lol.

[@DONTTOUCHTHEGRASSIMALLERGIC]

such a great movie

[@inlinefour431]

thanks for watching the movie please come to Japan somday

[@belenreyes6274]

TU LLANTO CON RISA IAJAJAJA AMO

[@claudionika]

My inglés is poor, spain sorry, está película está muy bien hecha, makoto es un dios haciendo pelis, te metes en la peli y no te das cuenta y después te hace sentirla, cuando ya estás atrapado, como te pasó a ti, al final lloras de felicidad y no de dolor, porque al final quieres q se encuentren, también es una película q llega tanto. Por lo q explicaste de los sueños q olvidas, y si lo piensas no hay mayor horror que OLVIDAR y más si es un amor, olvidarlo es peor q romper o otra causa, olvidar una parte de tu vida ...etc ..etc..por eso se mete en ti la peli y tú yo lo reconoce y se abre y después no paras de llorar y no sabes porque...y al final QUIERES deseas q no olviden deseas viendo la peli q se reencuentren y al final lloras de felicidad como un niño chico..y no te asusta no tienes miedo de llorar ni vergüenza...como en otra ocasión podría pasar... Está peli me rompió mucho No sé si habrás visto - quiero comerme tu páncreas Te la recomiendo si o si o SI es igual q está o más en tema de meterse dentro a y aviso, busca muchos pañuelos pero muchos

[@claudionika]

A ok ya vi q la viste +1

[@user-vx9mn5po2c]

お前、いい男だな 是非日本語版も見てくれ 日本からだぜ～～～～～～

[@mriduraj4179]

can you react to your lie in april????? its really underrated but most rated series of 2014....and believe me pal......IT IS A MASTERPIECE

[@Brotato3]

yeah that comment I made on the last episode of ya boy kongming about watching it on discord. I changed my mind, I choose this. watch this with me. I have literally invited people on discord and over to my house to watch this movie. I love it so much lol

[@AnimeLover_1408]

Really This Movie Totally Destroy Your Mind & Heart. I Literally Had A Emotional Breakdown For Almost 3 God Dame Weeks After Watching This Movie In 2017.

[@theiaofseed]

Second best animated movie of 2016, this movie made me cry but Silent Voice destroyed me

[@cedricmichaud552]

51:18 SPOILER from another anime show I understand what you mean like in Your lie to April’s ending where the sad ending is used firstly to show the protagonist development facing lost of someone he loves, and also to close the year with a new April, full of cherry blossoms symbol meaning to going through life even after winter, that symbolizes death…

[@billevans1337]

34:24 that makes people like this

[@arnaudgerard1971]

Would someone like that watch Roman Holiday.

[@aryankhelwar7147]

Your lie in April reaction please!!

[@johndrisdelle9359]

The dub for this one was pretty good. I strongly recommend the sub for A Silent Voice though. There's a scene where he's supposed to use her first name for the first time but he was using her first name the whole time in the dub. It takes away all of the emotion from the line.

[@JentWatches]

A bit too late, haha. I have already watched (and posted) A Silent Voice in dub. I do know about the scene you're talking about, but also the dub had an actual deaf actress playing Shouko so it felt very authentic too. I don't mind missing a couple moments that didn't translate well for an experience that connects with me more. But thanks for the suggestion anyway!

[@johndrisdelle9359]

@@JentWatches I just found the video, I'm actually watching it now. I actually just commented on it mentioning her VA being deaf. I do love the English version, I just reccomend the sub for the first viewing.

[@tomirinsu]

There’s only “me”, “myself” and “I” in English, but when it comes to Japanese first-person pronouns, the options are seemingly endless such as Watashi ,Atashi,Watakushi,Sessya,Wagahai, Boku, and Ore

[@JentWatches]

Yeah, I know, that’s why I wanted to check the JPN audio for that section because I think that’s a great joke, hahaha.

[@yami7482]

dont cut bro

[@alleycat3449]

this movie has alot of issues where jokes cant translate well because of how different japanese and english is, which does affect the dub however the dub nails every fucking aspect of voice acting that the japanese dub does in ways no other dubbed thing ive watched has managed to do, right down to vocal characteristics when swapped being ever so slightly different, even giving them an EVER SO SLIGHT accent/pronunciation difference that the voice acters do replicate when swapped

[@kaczan3]

You kinda look liek Mark Cuban.

[@SumitPalTube]

Haven't seen the entire reaction yet. I am disappointed that you haven't watched the subbed version - disappointed because this movie could have hit you much harder. Edit: You had a more genuine reaction than most other folks.

[@duongnhdn]

Your knowledge on dub is very admirable. As for this dub, I dont think Stephanie was a good choice. She sounded kinda... old.

[@dhritidutta6231]

Your thumbnail is bit scary.. 😆

[@l._.-._.l]

Dubbed??? Bye dude👎
