And finally we have Kimi no Na wa, Makoto Shinkai’s latest work and probably his greatest to date. The entire anime community is shocked by this production and after only a few weeks after its release, Kimi no Na wa has become one of the top anime movies of all times. It’s no exaggeration, just Google it if you have any doubt. This film is an instant classic and definitely a must-watch whether you’re a fan of romantic movies or not.
Kimi no Na wa tells the story of two high school kids with very different lives who are connected through their dreams and by the appearance of a comet that can only be seen each 1200 years. Mitsuha is a girl who lives on a small rural town and dreams of a fancier and more exciting life in the big city. Taki on the other hand, lives in Tokyo and works part-time as a waiter. Everything gets a bit messy when they realize that, in their dreams they switch bodies and live each other’s life, although they can’t quite remember much once they wake up in their respective bodies.
Taki and Mitsuha share a very magical and intimate experience that makes them really close despite the distance. Eventually, these two kids attempt to meet, but their meeting can be more difficult to realize than they expect. If you’re into romantic stories and emotional journeys then join these two adorable lovers as they try to find each other and learn about the spiritual connection between them. Just a little warning, you’ll cry your eyes out with this movie.
