roots_anime said: I watched Your Name a few days ago and I realized I had never felt anything like that before. I am still obsessed over it days later and feel more invested in that world than my own. I don't want to lose this feeling. I've even put off watching anything else for the week. I did watch this during a low point in my life. I've been depressed, social life fell apart, and took the next semester off from college. I also had never really watched much anime outside of Miyazaki before coming across this. Put all of those together and this movie literally came at just the right time, with just the right story to destroy me. I don't know how to describe this, but nothing I have watched has impacted me this much before. It felt almost ethereal, even days later. I still cannot figure out exactly why. I rewatch the kataware doki part over and over and every time it's like my heart is going to melt. I can see the raw emotion on Mitsuha's face, her tears, the scratches on her skin. All of that determination, that struggle to find Taki, her life's hardships, her deepest desires, just comes to a boiling point and explodes in that moment. Watching it, I just want her to be happy, them both. I think this was the first time I had cried in years. I tried to watch Weathering With You last night but it didn't capture me like Your Name managed to do. This feeling of emptiness comes from some sort of longing I suppose, not just the fact that I will most likely never share such a strong connection with someone that it feels like we were destined for each other, but also that I will never experience what Mitsuha/Taki did. Sounds cringe but I cannot help but wish it would happen to me. I think my life's greatest desire was to find a true connection with someone (even just platonic), something I had never really experienced. I just want to give Mitsuha/Taki a hug and tell them how much they mean to me. I wonder if I would do the same in their situation. I hope I would. It is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen. Everything from the relatable characters down to the art of the animations. You can overlook the plot holes because the experience just strikes you at your very core as a human being, at least for me. It is probably one of the few movies that I would rate a 10/10. I am not sure what to do now. I just feel so sad and lonely, in a melancholic way. I hate myself for looking down on anime as a teen and regret waiting so long to see it because it's been years now and I have no one to discuss it with (is there a fandom for this movie anymore?). I just wanted to share my feelings here. I think this is my favorite movie of all time now. Not sure when I will stop obsessing over it. I completely understand you, and I know exactly how it feels to feel that way! My feelings were just as nostalgic, or perhaps even more, when I watched the movies A Silent Voice and I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. My first movie rated as a masterpiece and one that stirred up a ton of emotions was A Silent Voice, of course. I don’t understand why many consider it overrated—after everything that happens in the film, I can tell you they didn’t understand it properly. It’s such an emotional film that it makes you cry uncontrollably. I didn’t have an unstable social situation, but I can say I cried three times throughout the movie. Now, moving on to I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, another masterpiece that is worth every minute spent watching it. It’s so emotional that it’s hard to handle, especially during difficult times. I even bought the light novel and plan to buy the manga in the future, as well as for A Silent Voice. With all that being said, I want to tell you that these two films, among many others, but especially these two, captured my attention to the fullest, and I can say they are the best and most emotional films I’ve ever seen. I warmly recommend them, as many others have done on this forum, and I hope my words help you in some way.   |
| I can't deal with many anime films since they're cringe so I read the novel of this film just to see what the fuss is all about. Still don't get it but hey, glad you enjoyed it, I guess. |

| @Thecrot Thank you. I was planning to check out those movies after reading the mangas/light novels for Your Name. I think it just spoke to me for some reason and I am still figuring out why. Maybe it was the movie, maybe it was my current emotional state. Not sure. It's a weird thing. I really appreciate your reply though, and will be back to discuss those anime films when I finish watching them. |
| I recently watched it too and really liked it. |
| watch Garden of Words. it's a beautiful Anime romance. |

| Just watched the movie today, and I have the same feelings. I just know I will be thinking about this anime for a long time, and will be one of those pieces of media you will always remember even years after you watched it. This movie is just able to touch your heart in a place that is often touched. It's a beautiful masterpiece! As someone said, Your Name will probably end up as your favorite anime, but with time you'll end up finding other anime that you'll be able to enjoy a lot too. Just give some time, and embrace these feelings you have for this anime! One thing I do to help in these cases, and is what I'm probably going to do now, is hearing the OST of the anime, watching some videos about the anime, thinking about what I feel about the anime (especially good before you go to sleep), all this to help you digest the anime and understand your true feelings about it! With time, I end up feeling really well, and the anime ends up really consolidated as a top favorite of mine! However, I would recommend not watching any anime for the time being really. You're going to be so focused on this one, that will take your potential interest in other anime. So the best is really to take a little break from watching more anime, and when you feel you're ready, start watching some more! I usually take like 1 or 2 weeks before watching anything new, but the 1st time it happened it actually took quite more time to digest. Also, I would recommend to watch an anime that is a bit different from Kimi no Na wa, because it will help you understand your taste in anime, and comparing the new anime to your favorite is not going to be the best in terms of enjoyment (you'll find yourself thinking you won't be able to enjoy anime just because you liked Your Name more). If you watch something new for a while, and then something more similar, you'll find the similar anime much more enjoyable, and you'll understand that it's ok to not like as the same level Your Name, but that you had a great time with the anime anyways. For a different experience, I suggest for example Skip and Loafer. It's a schoolar anime, that while also focuses a bit on a relationship, it's a bit more light emotionally, and I found myself just forgetting all my everyday worries while I was watching. The anime has 13 episodes, but the 2nd season was just announced, so you'll have more if you end up liking it! For similar anime to Kimi no Na wa, I suggest Maquia, it's also an anime about love, but a different type of love. I remember perfectly how much I cried when I watched it. It also has a beautiful animation, and a really interesting setting! Violet Evergarden is also an anime that is really emotional. It has 13 episodes, that all focus on 1 main story, but each episode has its own mini story, that is usually really beautiful. There are episodes that I cried really hard honestly. It has a setting in a post-war scenario, so if you're interested in that, i really reccomend it! The stories are focused on various types of love too. Finally, I recommend Angel Beats too! Although the first 2 episodes are hard to digest, this anime is also a really emotional heavy experience, that will touch your heart in many ways, and in a way, ends up with a bit similar to Kimi no Na wa, now that I think of it. I hope you have a nice experience watching anime! If you need any help, don't hesitate to send me a message! |
