I saw an ad for Your Name on youtube, I actually watched it because I'm waiting for the blu-rays to come out so I can watch it in hq, because it can't be any other way. It looks way better than I was thinking, although like any trailer it shows off a little too much and I can take shots at what'll happen. I want to see why it's been so successful.

still not enough to drag me to melbourne to watch it though, I'm not that desperate yet.
i was invited out to a screening tonight with no expectations or knowledge of the film aside from it being an anime

i think im going to need about three years to recover from the emotional rollercoaster like shit i do not like emotional tension and this movie nearly did me in at the very end

without giving any spoilers i can really see why this has been so successful so i'd recommend it to people who can handle romance dramas

with giving spoilers:
at the onset i didnt know what i was getting into, the body swapping parts were incredibly well done and hilarious but with no real plot other than"oh shit isnt this situational as hell!"

but once that comet hits and the connection is severed, the film goes from 0 to 100 really fucking quick

the reveal that the town was destroyed 3 years prior was powerful, especially in that one particular scene where Taki is looking at the death records and he finds her friends' names, as well as the general hopelessness and confusion as he tries to restablish it

it became obvious that the endgame was now to save the town using this connection but the way that was accomplished was really roundabout and filled with tension

the aftermath being told in a recount 5 years later by a jaded Taki even more so

at least 10 minutes of the writers teasing whether Taki would ever know what he did or see Mitsuha again was a bit too much for me to handle even though you knew they were going to find each other in some way so bonus points for making me suspend my belief

The movie pulls lots of heavy strings and the story is powerful and yet really lighthearted and humorous in places so i can certainly understand why the movie has become so renowned even worldwide

imo, "strong as a fucking meteoric impact" out of 10
