Kimi No Na Wa is basically visual and audible chocolate to anybody interested in the elements of directing.
However like chocolate, it doesn't satisfy you at all and only gives you an amazing taste in your mouth for a brief period of time before eventually realize that you're still hungry, and you need something to satisfy you or you'll go hungry.
Kimi no Na Wa fails to give me a good reason to keep my suspension of disbelief because of the fact the plot was just so dreadful and dumb in my eyes, and not because of the fact they're switching bodies it's the reason why
...
they switch bodies that just utterly baffles me because its just full of plot convenience and plot holes that makes me believe that the story was just an afterthought and not necessarily the core of the movie. And I don't want to discuss any more of my frustrations because that would mean I'd have to go into spoiler territory.
Now the only thing I thought was ok was the characters, Makoto Shinkai always does a great job establishing the atmosphere of each of the characters and does an amazing of contrasting the Urban and Rural lifestyles of the 2 character Taki and Mitsuha. And the way they react once they switch bodies was very charming and funny.
Overall the movie is impressive visually and musically however the failure for me to understand the emotional distraught that each of the characters faced because of the unbelievable plot conveniences and not to mention the very anti climatic ending was the reason I give this a 6/10
