Suntory Minami Alps no Tennensui is only an advert showing off a water brand using the popular anime 'Kimi no Na wa' as the face.
Story: 3/10
I adore the Kimi no Na wa. It has such an amazing and telling story. Extremely beautiful. This advert recaptures that amazement I first felt. I would love for a sequel or something else regarding this story. The advert itself only briefly retells the original story, so nothing new really.
Art: 10/10
Art, as expected by Makoto Shinkai, is outstanding. Even for an advert (though a lot of scenes were re-used from the movie). The artstyle that Shinkai produces is breathtaking and
...
I can never get enough of it. Amazing.
Sound: 9/10
Plays the classic and beautiful song 'Zenzenzense' in the background throughout. One of my absolute favourite anime songs ever produced. That alone makes this score 9/10. The beautiful voice acting of the two main characters just takes the cake. I will forever adore this movie, and its music.
Character: 7/10
Was amazing to see Mitsuha and Taki again. Sadly, they did not have that much of a role story-wise. Just retelling what we already know, and mixing in the Suntory water for the advert.
Enjoyment: 5/10
While yes, it was amazing to see Kimi no Na wa revisited, however, sadly it only retold what we already knew. Though it had three beautiful 20 second clips involving my favourite characters along with beautiful artwork and songs. Wish that there was a bit more to it, but with an advert, that is obviously not expected.
Overall: 6/10
Kimi no Na wa remains one of my all time favourite animes in existence, so this advert was a beautiful revisit to that. I recommend it if you love the anime as I do. If you're watching this advert first however, then please watch the actual anime. A couple hours you will NOT regret!!
