"Your Name" (Kimi no Na wa) is an absolute gem of a movie and the one that introduced me to the world of anime. Directed by Makoto Shinkai, this 2016 film is a beautiful mix of romance, fantasy, and drama that anyone can fall in love with.

Before watching "Your Name," I was pretty bored and didn't think much about anime. But this movie completely changed that for me. It was the first anime I ever watched, and it blew me away with how beautiful and touching it is. It's now my favorite movie of all time, and I’m so grateful for it.

The story is about ... two teenagers, Mitsuha and Taki, who suddenly start swapping bodies. As they deal with this weird situation, they form a deep connection even though they've never met in person. The way the film weaves together themes of love, fate, and time is just amazing and keeps you hooked from beginning to end.

One of the best things about "Your Name" is how stunning it looks. The animation is incredibly detailed and vibrant, making every scene a visual treat. The music is also incredible. It's done by RADWIMPS, and their work perfectly matches the emotions of each moment. It's one of my favorite soundtracks, and I still listen to it every now and then.

In my first-ever movie review, I have to say that "Your Name" isn't just an anime—it's an experience. It opened my eyes to the wonderful world of anime and left a lasting impression on me. This film is a true masterpiece, and I’ll always be grateful for the beautiful story it shared with me.
