I will NEVER recover from the fact that Taki knew that he might never see her again, that he might fail, and that they would forget each other, and instead of telling her his name he HAD to tell her HE. LOVES. HER!!! I'm fuckingggg cryingggggg
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THAT THANK YOUUUU
writing "taki" wouldn't do much tho she'll think "who's taki, what's taki? and why taki?"
by writing "i love u" gives her the drive to do something she had to do, i guess
the words "i love you" are protected by the moon spriit in japanese mythology or smth, where as "taki" would just disappear like the memos
Look, as far as I know I'm aro, but every time it hits me.
He knew she would forget his name but would remember how she felt, just like when they came back from body swapping. They never remembered what happened, but they retained the feelings they had. That is why he wrote, "I love you." His name would mean nothing compared to how he felt for her.
She was going to write the same thing on his hand. You can tell by the stroke distance of the first character she was in the middle of writing. She was planning on writing "I love you" as well. That's why she smiled and cried once she saw he had written the same thing to her.
There is something so wholesome about 5 dudes watching a romance anime movie together and being invested as hell☺️ makes me happy for like no reason😂
I love it too
Also the dudes are all really cute
Try not to cry in front of the boys challenge: Extreme Difficulty
maybe its rare and u wish it to happen so it makes sense that were all happy (and want more :p hehe)
I don't consider it a romantic movie per se. I think this is a fairly transversal film. Every straight guy I know really liked this movie.
I see this in a lot of reactions and it’s always a point of confusion for people. The reason Taki wrote “I love you” on Mitsuha’s hand instead of his name is because he knew that if he would’ve written his name, it would disappear just like their text messages. Everything was disappearing because fate was correcting itself. However, in Japanese lore, the moon god protects messages of love, so by writing “I love you”, the power of the moon god supersedes fate itself and allowed Taki and Mitsuha to remember the feelings they had for each other, even if they didn’t remember just who that other person was. This gave them the strength to press forward and complete their task, thereby undoing the timeline and replacing it with a new one, and allowing them to find each other again someday. Truly a beautiful story told in such a unique and interesting way
Highly recommend Weathering With You or A Silent Voice as well!
Ohhh wow, thank you for the interesting bit of information, this was a wonderful read!
that's interesting lol i didn't know that
Taki definitely did not do this on purpose. He wrote "I love you" because he loves her and wanted to tell her. The fact that was the one message that survived was lucky for him.
@@sharlesdaviskendy2391believe what you want
I thought it was rather blatant... That a name would vanish while a msg would not.
48:32 The reason the initial train scene where Taki doesn't recognize her is confusing is because at that point, he didn't know who she was. For him, the dream swapping wouldn't start for another 3 years. So that's why despite her having full memories, he had no connection to her whatsoever at that point.
Yes, that’s why his height in the train at the time was about the same as Mitsuha's, though he is much taller than her in the scene at the crater.
Who is older?
@@josellco8335Mitsuha is 3 years older than Taki
@@lunatomlu also why he has a different uniform
I have a confusion!!!
So does anyone have any valid and compatible theory or conclusion that at last after Taki and Mitsuha ask each other's names what happens next as I desperately want to see them together in a relationship and probably as couples so based upon this I have 2 confusion:
1) Do they recover their memories after knowing each other's name and then will it start their love story again?
2) If after knowing each other's name if they don't get memories back but just have feelings then how will their love story progress?
To me, one of the messages I get from the movie is that "Even if the mind forgets, the heart will always remember". I freaking love this movie so much
I wholeheartedly believe that is the main message if this movie... i mean, the entire universe seemingly against them being together because they were literally not meant to be (they were intertwined on a different timeline and she was supposed to die on the commet fallout), so even though their mind continue to drive them away from each other their heart and soul just inevitebly attract each other relentlessly
@@ariqsyafwan4987 in the contrary, I think the entire thing that happen is just to set them together instead, bc they were so far apart, they were not suppose to know each other in the first place. But this sequence of events and the supernatural element unite them.
That's why Taki wrote he loves her on Mitsuha's hand
oooh it could def work both ways@@windygrass9807
"When you meet someone you never really forget them, it just takes some time for your memories to return."
Another fun fact: Taki didnt forget Mitsuha immediately after all her notes disappearing in his phone because he still have her braided cord that she gave 3 years ago. As Mitsuha’s grandma says, those threads are like time. They disconnects and reconnects. That’s why when Taki returned the cord to Mitsuha, he lost all his link to her, eventually forgetting her.

@@TunTunTanu this is from someone on reddit which I also think is a valid theory. And oh, Makoto actually confirmed that the 2 git married:
taki and mitsuha will remember the memories of each other after they say their names in the ending scene because when taki was looking for mitsuha in 2016, he went to the place near itomori 3 years after the comet him and read the names of the people who died in the incident, he finds mitsuha in the book and gradually remembered the memories of her and him being in her body. he went to the shrine because he regained his memories and that allowed him to remember the way to the shrine when he went there in mitsuha's body in 2013 when they were still body swapping. he drank the sake but lost his memories of her once again in order to go back in time and save mitsuha from the comet.
theory is: if taki remembers all his memories after he sees or hears about mitsuha, then in the ending scene where they both meet each other again, they will both remember the events that happened and regain their memories after they say each others names
if this isn't what happens then this story got some major plot holes and i need to have a word with this director
@@junkyuseum Nice interpretation! And thanks for the efforts u did to give me a researched reply.
And according to what u had said at the last that if they didn't get the memories back after hearing each other's name again then according to the story line it might be a loophole and I strongly agree with u.
I just want to let u know about some fan interpretation which I read on yt comments and on reddit that is:
When they both at last hear each other's names they will not regain their memories back (as Taki had sacrificed it for reverting the time and course of actions to save Mitsuha) but they will gain a feeling of finding someone that they were missing into their lives, that void would be fulfilled as even if they don't know each other (buz of Musubi) but still they have dear and known love and affection feelings for each other and then they will eventually do more meetups so that they will again revive their existing love feelings for each other, spend time with each other and then again fall in love with each other and end up into relationship.
So I want to know what's ur opinion on this theory as I know it violets the concepts of story of regaining memories after knowing the names but still can it be considered valid according to u?
@@TunTunTanu I dont think Taki had sacrificed his memories to turn back time. The threads in Mitsuha’s hair tie connected both of them. It represents time disconnecting and reconnecting. The only mistake Taki did was to give Mitsuha’s hair tie back to her because he lost his only connection to her. Aside from knowing her name, there are shots in the film focusing on the hair tie while Taki is reminded of Mitsuha’s existence. When they both passed each other by on the bridge, they got the feeling like they knew each other. Same goes when they crossed paths on the train. So I believe, after hearing each other’s name, they slowly remember each other because the hair tie is there to remind them both and reconnect them to one another.
@@junkyuseum You are half right and half super-mistaken.
Makoto Shinkai-san never admitted to any concrete conclusion to the current ending. It all depends on viewers' interpretations and imaginations. I'm pretty sure the marrying part is either officially non-canon or a strong theory that became a truth later 🙂
open minded group of guys who aren't afraid to express emotions or open to discuss without having that toxic masculinity is rare
Toxic masculinity is actually rare. Feminists make a big deal about it.
"toxic masculinity" Define it, in your own opinion.
@@BoB-th8wm toxic masculinity is, but not limited to, someone who displays misogyny, homophobia and a violent demeener. Someone who upholds patriarchal standards. Toxically masculine men typically reject expressing anything that would lead them to look vulnerable which ends up sculpting a pretty close-minded person with attributes that I mentioned earlier. You can say this is a generalisation but talk to enough dudes and you'll see there's a clear pattern and trajectory for some.
I just love them..
This is the norm....
15:40 THE WAY THE MIDDLE GUY GUESSED IT?????
i really like how open minded this group is and discussing the movie in a respectful way is just so nice
They forget information from their dream like an actual dream. You only remember small details of it as time goes by, until you totally forget it.
Literally masterpiece
Cant relate, i remember my sleeping time as much as i remember my waking time, im not flexing, i forget days AND dreams
But mostly i remember dreams like if they were days, and just like days, some dreams stick with me to this day
@@cupuacu4life13 same except mine are lucid dreams
@@user-hf2qh5ck7j YOO cool!
Exact same thoughts and i can relate very much.
43:29 It's a common thing in anime that the girl will cut her hair if she's heartbroken. The day Taki goes his date with Okudera, Mitsuha cut her hair. So it kinda showed from there that Mitsuha had feelings for Taki, she just didn't think he felt the same. And ig Taki himself wasn't aware of his feelings and only realizes after the body switching stops and Mitsuha stops being regular in his life.
and the day before that mitsuha went to tokyo and taki didn't know her. thats more heartbreaking than knowing ur crush went to a date
It's also because she went to Tokyo and he didn't remember her
she cut her hair after she went to Tokyo and Taki didn´t recognize her.
I look at the haircutting thing as a symbolic letting go of a past self not just because of heartbreak. Garnet/Dagger in Final Fantasy 9, Serena in Dragon Quest 11, Korra in Legend of Korra, Sakura in Naruto, Zuko and Iroh in Avatar Last Airbender
No she cut her hair after she went to Tokyo to meet Haki and he didn't recognize her. As a reaction to kinda get rejected
27:04 I only recently noticed that after Taki gave back Mitsuha the knot, they started to forget each other as if it was the knot that connects them and make their memory of dreams last longer
me too...
It was like something he had of her that there was someone he could have remember but after he gave this he had nothing
This was a very Japanese interpretation of romance imo. It's always much more subtle. In this case, they lived each other's lives...they got to know one another through friends, family, habits, school, work, and their notes to one another....it was a gradual fall that even they were surprised by. Taki and Mitsuha didn't realize how much they loved each until they realized they would be out of each other's lives in some way. And those feelings never disappeared, despite time.
The 3-year thing can be confusing; you have to slow down to think about it. Mitsuha from 3 years ago (let's say 2013) was switching bodies with Taki of 3 years later (let's say 2016). So when she went to visit Taki that day, he didn't know her because that Taki had not switched bodies with her yet (because it's only 2013). Why he took her braided cord, I don't know, but it was a passing moment that he didn't remember until he was made to remember it 3 years later (in 2016).
I have a confusion!!!
So does anyone have any valid and compatible theory or conclusion that at last after Taki and Mitsuha ask each other's names what happens next as I desperately want to see them together in a relationship and probably as couples so based upon this I have 2 confusion:

35:55 The reason he wrote "I love you" is because they won't remember each others name, but she will know that "someone" love her to save her life, and what she's fighting for. Hope that make sense. (sorry for my poor English. (つд`ﾟ)
in japanese mithology, only love would survive through time and space, for the red thread of fate thing
It has the same meaning as even if u forget ur heart will never forget
She would see Takis name but won't be able to recall who he is...but bcs of what he wrote she remembered it's someone she loves and is important to her
noo your English is good❤❤
因みにですが、｢すきだ｣は正確にはI LOVE Uではありません。
日本語の絶妙なニュアンスを翻訳するのは非常に難しいですね。｢愛してる｣をシャイな日本人は普段あまり使いません。i like youよりも重くi love youよりも軽い感じでしょうか。しかし｢好きだ｣は簡潔に心からあなたの事を思ってるという意思が伝わります。可愛いくてかっこいい言葉選びです。上手く説明できなくてすみません。
if you guys feel like watching more anime movies i would say the best ones are "a silent voice" and "i want to eat your pancreas"
ALSO ALREADY USING MUDAE ON DISCORD IS CRAZY
Bro wants them to cry so much 😂
@@Pyxyty i want them to cry as much as i did 😂
yes a silent voice pls
Silent voice plsss
Lyric songs list:
4:10 Dream Lantern
11:22 Zenzenzense
28:28 Sparkle
34:15 Nandemonaiya (it's also the credit song)
All of them are by RADWIMPS, all of them also have decent English version (and non-movie version).
Edit : Zenzenzense is number 1 most watched video of the band's youtube channel, sparkle is second, the third are song from tenki no ko.
3:25 - "Dude this animation is craaazy!"
Ladies and gentleman, round of applause for Makoto Shinkai 👏
Also, the Pikachu faces when the pen drops will never get old 😂
Canon's first reaction as the movie started : "This animation is crazy" was my first reaction as well and still will say the same till today...... all hail Makoto Shinkai and all the animators....Respect 🙌
some of the best we have ever seen
@@StudioGek please watch 5 "Centimeter per Second" too. It's the same director of this movie, but his earlier work. It's beautifully depressing.
@@StudioGekI sincerely hope you all react to Suzume (by the same director) once it hits digital this month! It's my favorite movie of all time, and the best Makoto Shinkai movie, in my opinion.
I think one part that shows Mitsuha's feelings for Taki have developed is when she sets up that date for Taki with his coworker and when she wakes up in her body, she cries.
And she also cut her hair that day! A common thing that displays heartbreak
Yes, exactly! @@kioku_uzumaki
@@kioku_uzumaki I think she cut her hair after went back from Tokyo though. Cause she is disappointed Taki didn't recognize her.
@@hugddoo but Taki had he's date the day that it wouldve been the day of the comet in Mitsuha's time and Mitsuha went to see Taki the morning of the comet day.
@@kioku_uzumaki wait but she sets the date right before coming to taki right? So ig she cut her hair after she met him
I’m Japanese and I watched this at the cinema when it came out and the beautiful animation and music really hits different on the big screen! Being Japanese I can tell you the sceneries not only look spot on, it captures the vibe of the actual areas so well. I actually think this movie excellently captures a lot of traditional/modern Japan(relationships,youth,family,architecture). Ive watched it so many times but still enjoy seeing other peoples response to it😊
I have a confusion!!!

I'm telling yall, when this movie came out, everyone was blownaway. The animation is so phenomenal that it literally shook the whole anime world back in 2016, it won an award too as best animation movie if i remember. It was crazy, even the OSTs and ofc the story made it to the list of anime movie that will make you cry.
I still comeback to rewatch this movie from time to time and still get chills everytime. Really one of the best out there.
I think the magic is just related to her family (that's why her grandma can recognize she's dreaming). I think it's because her family is related to the shrine (they're shrinemaidens). Making and drinking the sake is a religious experience (and it's what get's them together at the mountain)
I thought it's more on related to the red thread/ribbon. That's the first thing that i noticed. Although sake and the hidden shrine connects and had really give something to this plot. I think there's a saying about red thread connects soul mates or something like that, it has been yrs seen i saw this movie. But correct me if i'm wrong, there is a part of this movie on which the red thread were explained by the grandma.
@@kimjerim9869 yeah, the red string of fate
@@kimjerim9869 Yes, but the power of the thread more than likely comes from her connection to the God.
its the string, its a bit of a paradox but its still the string she went to tokyo and gave him the string which created the connection that bound them together, him giving the ribon back is also why they forgot eachother
@@thaisbenicio837i agree with you that it has to do with the family, remember there was a scene were they say that in the past the shrine burnt down, so another bad thing someone probably dreamt about, and her mother had dreams too and the father couldnt prevent her from getting sick and dying and we dont know what the grabdmas dreams were about but i guess she had something similar, a connection to a person and that person will prevent something bad happen to you. Taki saved mitshua, maybe her grandma got saved too and thats why she remembers her having similar dreams because love is protected by the moon goddess and cant be erased
Damn... Never in my dreams I had imagined you guys would react to Your Name. I watched this movie 4 years ago and haven't rewatched it since. Glad you guys are branching out to all sorts of shows apart from the typical Shonen stuff.
I'm impressed to see that the guys avoided the unbearable depression I felt after watching this movie. Hearing mitsuha's theme and sparkle are still gut-wrenching for me
dude i've seen this movie three times i think and cried each time and I thought watching this video i'd be safe bc u can barely watch it and its cut up but THE MOMENT THEY SAW EACH OTHER IN THE TRAIN AT THE END I STARTED SOBBING....
Another anime movie that i feel like they would really appreciate is Perfect Blue.
I can already imagine them making predictions and just questioning everything.
Your Name is my favorite anime movie. I still remember being absolutely blown away when I watched it. It’s a masterpiece.
I thought it was cringe before i watched it, people were freaking out too much about it and i was like meh
Then i watched and i was like ok this is lit
It almost made me cry at the end but A Silent Voice had me crying in the first half of the movie already lol, maybe bcz i relate a bit
I went just to support it when it came to the theater. I heard it was the highest grossing movie in Japan and went in blind. Awesome experience with the time shift twist. One of my favorite anime movies.
The Japanese tend to be more symbolic rather than factual. Just like in when they mention curses in anime it usually not aliens rather the manifestation of hate or sin. This comet is symbolic of japanes natural disasters, and this story revolves around loved ones you may lose in said disasters and how you may end up forgetting them or there name. Searching in meaning in a symbolic way helps with enjoying and feeling good about the Japanese work of art.
I decided to watch this in the middle of the night at 4 in the darkness of my room and the visuals looked so beautiful I was so invested the sound quality the track and when I finished I pulled my headphones out of my ears and took a deep breath and when I went outside the sun had come up and it had apparently been raining and it everything was slightly wet. Best way to watch a movie ever couldn't have asked for a better one either. You can just finish this movie and sit down at a table drink some coffee outside and think about it.
Taki could not recognize her in the train because she came 3 years before he knew her.... Mitsuha started switching bodies with him 3 years later... they were not from same time-period
And also forgetting each other was THE PRICE for time traveling and changing the future.. so even if taki wrote his name in her hand it would dissappear
I have a confusion!!!

@@TunTunTanu so after losing their memories they still kept searching for that SOMEONE because they may forget each other but their heart remembers the love they shared .... and after being separated they kept searching for each other to fill the void .... the second they saw each other in the train they recognized each other right away .... brain may have forgotten but the heart remembers their loved ones they lost ...
Don't know if they got their memories back as long as they remember each other's feelings they can write thousand love stories of their own.
@@dreamlantern8545 Thanks for replying!!!
There is another guy who has replied to my query and I am kind of satisfied and convinced about it. He states about whether they would regain the lost memories or not his reply goes as:
taki and mitsuha will remember the memories of each other after they say their names in the ending scene because when taki was looking for mitsuha in 2016, he went to the place near itomori 3 years after the comet him and read the names of the people who died in the incident, he finds mitsuha in the book and gradually remembered the memories of her and him being in her body. he went to the shrine because he regained his memories and that allowed him to remember the way to the shrine when he went there in mitsuha's body in 2013 when they were still body swapping. he drank the sake but lost his memories of her once again in order to go back in time and save mitsuha from the comet.
theory is: if taki remembers all his memories after he sees or hears about mitsuha, then in the ending scene where they both meet each other again, they will both remember the events that happened and regain their memories after they say each others names
if this isn't what happens then this story got some major plot holes and i need to have a word with this director
This was his reply and i think it is correct interpretation because as he stated if they don't get their memories back it would prove contrary to the story line of taki getting back memories of the town Itomori and all the Musubi and Shrine related stuff when the lady and the man at the resturant states the name of Itomori again in front of him or we can say remind him of it.
@@TunTunTanuI don’t think they get their body swapping memories back but they are confirmed together in another movie.
From my understanding, they fell in love because they changed themselves while switching bodies. Taki was an aggresive guy, point shown with the bandage he has on his face when they started switching resembling he got into a fight recently, but at the end he became more soft and emotional, point shown when he's explaining the reason he wants to work as an architect, like to build building that leave memories or something like that. While Mitsuha was too push over, quiet, and never stood for herself, point shown when some students are talking about her and since Taki is in her body he throws the desk and everyone is surprised that Mitsuha is not just taking it as usually, and at the end, even though we don't see how Mitsuha changed completely because of Taki's influence, we get a glimpse of it since she convinced her dad to evacuate the town, and that shows she's now more assertive, and determined, more of like a fighter than she never was. So bottom line, at the end of the day, love is changing for someone else you care about, and that's what both of them experience, so yes even though it's so subtle, I think that the writer of this movie did show us the process of them falling in love with each other.
yes! this movie is really good with subtlety and trusting its audience that it makes the experience so much better. because you believe everything and feel everything without even being able to pinpoint why or how exactly (or that happened to me the first time i watched it) and i think it's just so beautiful.
I like your explaination! And they also got to experience each other’s families, friendships, and upbringing which shapes us into who we are as we grow up. We know more about Mitsuha’s family more so than Taki’s - I think director Makoto Shinkai mentioned in an interview that Taki’s parents are divorced, and it looked like he was raised primarily by a busy working father? His mother was never mentioned…maybe that’s why he was aggressive as a teen? He lacked a maternal figure in his life, whereas Mitsuha and her younger sister were both raised by their grandmother after their mother died. And living in a big city like Tokyo is sooooooo different than living in the countryside. I think there are pros and cons to both though, and Mitsuha got to experience big city life whereas Taki got to experience nature and beauty. Maybe those differences also drew them closer to each other and develop feelings for each other.☺️
@@angejunior2021 yes, bottom line is that there's a big part of Taki in Mitsuha, and also there's a big part of Mitsuha in Taki. They belong to each other.
ehh idk man i can understand getting to know someone and respecting them but they never met, it's just a little hard to believe lol
@@highdefinition450 is it possible to change body with someone else? Lol. In a realm of magic, where impossible things happens, we have to believe that something else magical, impossible, also happened and that yes they fell in love without “meeting”. Keep it simple, dumb it down, that’s life.
No matter how many times i watch this movie the ending still make my eyes tear up😢🙂 such a masterpiece❤
The soundtrack of this movie will never stop amazing me. The little "time" implicances on the production are just masterful
I remember freaking out the first time Mitsuha's town was shown destroyed. Even a reaction to this movie gave me chills. We need more complex and interwoven story-telling like this.
Imo, "When Marnie Was There" is the ghibli counterpart of "Your Name" and has a similar wistful and nostalgic vibe. I think you guys would really enjoy it. It's bittersweet, but it's a comfort movie of mine.
Taki wrote "i love you" because he knew his name would get erased anyway. Mitsuha was actually not writing her name either, because her name doesn't start with a veritcal line like that. The way Makoto Shinkai depicts love is so beautiful, because even though they forget anything that happened, and even each other's names, they remember they loved each other. It is never spoken of once between them, yet it is conveyed to us better than almost all other relationships i've seen. Even when they actually meet for the first time, you can see their conversation just flows naturally, despite them never having had a conversation before.
His filmaking is so good, the way he intertwined the timelines here, the way the pieces fall into place as you realise (you understand everything clearly and it's so satisfying), and the overwhelming emotions everything makes you feel, i'd say this is one of the best movies i've ever watched. I've seen the reaction of a filmmaker who said the scene where they finally meet on that mountain is a scene that they could make directors study for a whole semester, and they would come out of it as better directors. When i'd first watched it i had cried for a while after finishing it because of how emotional it made me.
She was writing her name though, mitsu (3)has a kanji with 3 horizontal lines which is what she was starting to write (could be wrong but pretty sure this is it 三つは). You see her name on the death list (三葉). As I said I could be wrong though
@@vex_d673 i thought about that too but that kanji is hard to write, the logical thing would be to write the easy and short version, it would take too long to write that version, which is why i think it's highly unlikely that she was trying to write that.
@@zynpkrdgnope, I study Japanese and live in Japan, that’s not true, it is commonly known by the audience here that Mitsuha was writing her name and Taki was not, idk why this “cute fact”was wildly spread among the western audience and many believed so…it is clearly false to everyone who understands the language.
@@clareyzhbk7 well, i read this in a post from someone japanese although i can't find it now, and from the kanjis they used, she would have to start with a short horizontal line. Everybody seemed to agree, and i've never seen it be commonly known that she was writing her name. But i also don't think this matters so idc both work for me.
I read somewhere that in a interview, Makoto confirmed that Mitsuha was indeed writing the first stroke of the same hiragana alphabet that would have spelt the same expression which meant ‘I love you’. Are you all also aware that Mitsuha and Taki make cameo appearances in a later Makoto film, ‘Weather With You’? There’s a UA-cam video on it. Do check it out!
Watching y’all be stressed over a romance movie was so adorable lmao
Who wasn't stressed??
5 grown men melting into tenderness....the power of a beautifully written and beautifully drawn story....
I've been watching your videos since AOT and I cannot tell you guys how much I have enjoyed the ride with you guys. I have loved watching your transition from being haters to TRUE WEEBS🤣! Thanks for all the moments and I have to say that this movie is and always be special for us in the anime community. Now that you have seen this movie I think everybody can agree that your next series should be the masterpiece that is LOVE IS WAR simply based off of your reaction on this movie!
Thank you for being along for this ride!!! We can’t wait for what’s next!
The places we see in this film really exist (museum, restaurant...) as in all Makoto Shinkai's films.
I used to live in this area of Shinjuku, near Yotsuya station, not far from Suga temple, and I can tell you how close the atmosphere and the view are to reality.
There are quite a few visitors to the temple thanks to this film, but it's still a very peaceful, gentle place.
I hope everyone will see them one day.
Garden of words, one of the first films, is also well worth seeing!
Finally, this movie is so good
the only reactors to appreciate the appearance and visual presence of this movie man, makoto shinkai and his team at comix wave films create some of the best looking media ever i swear
absolutely love this anime, excited yall watched((:
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this, I hope you also check out A Silent Voice. It's absolutely amazing and one of my favorite movies
has to happen, incredible movie
personally like a silent voice a lot more than your name
It's obligatory at this point
I never really liked a silent voice that much tbh it didn’t make me FEEEEEL the way that your name did. a silent voice didn’t make me cry but i cried the whole way through this one
@@deeegeeekay a silent voice is definitely a more compelling movie than your name, that movie had me tearing like crazy. it’s makes you feel so many emotions throughout the movie
Shinkai's work is pretty neat. His new film Suzume was good too :)
Something else that might be interesting is that Mitsuha's red braided cord is a substitute for the red thread of fate, which is eastern Asian mythology signifies the thread that ties two soul mates together through space and time.
finally I see the red thread referenced. It helps with the context
I had no idea watching other people watch some of my favorite films could be so entertaining. You guys have impressed me in every video at how astute each of you can be at picking up on themes and messages, some of which I didn't know on the first watch through or hadn't even considered at all. You all are so wholesome, I can't wait to see more! : )
The moment when the pen drops and the moment when Mitsuha opens her hand to read "I love you" always hits me like a freight train.
"When the pen dropped, my heart dropped" is something I saw someone say that I totally agree with.
Watched this 7 times since it’s release. A silent voice 🔥 🔥
If you want to see more Taki and Mitsuha, they make a cameo in "Weathering with you"
Oh that’s a spoil.
dude spoilers
Shut up with the spoilers
Time to watch it then
its not really a spoiler though.. the main reason for the request to react is bcs of their cameo
Finally got around to watching your guys reaction and every single one of you was me when i first watched it, quickly you guys are becoming one of my favorite reaction channels right now. Such a great film man, I'm glad y'all finally got to watch this and can't wait for what y'all watch next 😁
Literally my brother: I hate anime and drama
Him after watching a few of my suggestions: I'M OBSESSED
😂😂😂😂😂
That's why you can't hate things you haven't explore
I loooove the ending of this movie. They made it clear that saying their names is connected to their memories, so when they re-introduce themselves at the end you know all the memories are going to come back to them. Super satisfying after all the anxiety of not knowing whether they'd meet again.
The movie is by Makoto Shinkai. This is my favourite movie by him, but recently he realeased a new one called Suzume that is also really good and feels a lot like Your Name (it's insanely good animation and music wise).
This has got to be one of the best anime movies there is. The animation, the music production, the plot, and everything else really make you feel something. I don't know why this movie feels so nostalgic to me. This anime movie was produced by Makoto Shinkai.
Makoto Shinkai's other movies that are also worth to watch are:
- Weathering With You
- Suzume
- Garden of Words
Anime Movies that I recommend to watch are:
- Silent Voice (this might be one of my favorites)
Studio Ghibli movies
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Grave of the Fireflies
- Ponyo
- Spirited Away
- Whisper of the Heart
Ikr form the first time I watched the movie and still now after watching so many other anime’s your name is definitely the best from the visual to how everything is portrayed it’s so clever and makes the experience so much better and meaning full.
My husband bought the dvd box set for me on Valentine’s Day a few years ago. It’s become our tradition to watch every year 🥰
THE MOST VISUALLY PLEASING ANIME ...anyway lemme explain what i got ..Mitsuha was 3 years bacK in the world and Taki was 3 years ahead...ok so,she was swapping the soul 3 years back and taki was doing it back in time as in past...so,as alot time passed by the swapping 4 may(the date swapping stopped and the date 3 years ago when mitsuha died in 2014) came and on the same day the meteor fall took place but back in time as 3 years ago the same day...that was the day when they showed Taki looking at the meteor fall from his house only when he was with his dad and did not start soul swapping ig ..so, Mitsuha died on 4 may 2014 but the same meteor blast for Taki happened on 4 may 2017 ik its confusing but bcz of time difference Mitsuha knew already about the meteor thing..so, when they went on that mountain with the granny Taki was in HER body so ,he went there again and drank from that mitsuha drink yk ...and its like a miracle of the bloodline of only mitsuha fam so when he drank that he thought of her and wished for a last body swap before she dies...so, he basically got one last swap on the same day morning when she died..and the grandma knew it was someone else in mitsuha's body as she was aware of that thing with dreams and stuff of the bloodline so she accepts and by evacuation everyone were saved...its like the aot thing with time yk the Dr. yeagers past ...the same way Taki fixes everything in the past after all its all fiction guys ,........and they fell in love with the lil thing they did during swapping we don't know cuz we are not the soulmate lmao...so its between them they secretly realized they loveeach other....
ALSO, The "dreams" (body swapping) was some sort of magical spell that got cast upon their bloodline after they did the cuchikamisake ritual for thousands of years, as a way of being able to protect the people of Itomori if another comet hit (because in the story, 1200 years ago the first comet hit Itomori, and that's what created the lake in the middle). The body-swapping to another person in the future acted as a way to warn the incoming danger and evacuate Itomori in case another comet hit. In fact, I think it was a fragment of the exact same comet, because the comet has a cycle of 1200 years and the first comet had hit 1200 years ago.
the story is really beautiful after all its about love so...rewatch it with relax mind again and don't try to think deep then you will get it ..its conclusion probably would be love fixes everything and your heart always remember your soulmate even if u mind forgets!!
Lol, Jackson's reaction was so genuine. Please watch "A Silent Voice" next please!
Indeed! He's one of the more silent one but his emotion never hidden! he's a great one!
Every one in the comments recommending A Silent Voice is a sadist lol that movie HURTS
I'm the one silently tearing up and crying :') feel you ❤
Also the 2nd time through you pick up so much more and so much more makes sense. But just it's so good. Ive watched it so many times now just cuz other people have wanted to watch it and I've never grown tired of it ❤
Your name is a masterpiece 🔥
There are so many shots in this movie that are so breathtaking, and emotional that it gets tears in the back of my eyes. When we get the side shot of them seeing each other, the "I love you" scene gets me. It is such a fucking master piece.
Does this mean that we might start to get more posts during the week?
I recommend "Grave of the Fireflies" next.
too soon 😭
bruh💀
STOP LMFAOOO
Noooo
Jumping from this to Grave of the Fireflies is wild bro
FINALLY! Been anticipating this ever since your first video! This movie is such a masterpiece that non-anime fans easily get invested as well
😮
Bro after AOT I’ve been so surprised to see what you guys have been open to watching lolll this has slowly become one of my favorite channels I love you guys and your energy it’s been fun doing anime rewatches w y’all
ven though it's been months since I've seen the film (live in korea) I still frequently keep thinking of how much the film moved me emotionally. The body swapping plot device not only gives the two leads perspective on each other's individual lives but on a much larger scale the differences and similarities between Old Japan and New Japan.
A classic story of star crossed lovers but done in a very unexpected and humorous way that speaks about sacrifice and one's own dreams.
Great soundtrack by Radwimps as well. It was a very emotionally draining day watching both Your Name and Arrival on the same day.
Guys, next reaction is "Kingdom Netflix" (korean historical zombies) with the girls!
omg yes!!
One of the most important things this anime movie did was set the standard for every other anime movie. It was the first true cinematic experience of an anime movie in the Western world. Every other anime movie is now compared to Your Name because of the impact it had.
And speaking to the romantic relationship between Taki and Mitsuha, I think it was completely fine. They lived the life of each other, which is a deeper connection than any other couple could have. But they didn't know what they had until they lost it. There are times when you fall for someone without realizing it. He didn't realize it until he went on a date with Okudera. And she didn't realize it until she set it up their date.
That ending is great though. I understand why people would want them to remember everything, but I think it's better off like that because they are essentially meeting for the first time, but just know that they are meant for each other.
you never heard of Ghibli
@@dtmt502 Ghibli was the standard before Your Name, but their movies were not ground breaking. Your Name broke through barriers and had non anime fans watching it without knowing anything about it. Ghibli has the reputation already so it's not breaking anything. Also the animation and music was something for the theaters. With Your Name, the sceneries were breathtaking and you needed a theater to capture that. For Ghibli, you can watch it on your TV and have a similar experience.
@@dtmt502 Ghibli movies will always be good. But they weren't MODERN WESTERN CINEMA good. They have their own style and will forever be theirs, while this movie becomes the modern standard for anime cinema.
Actually no
@@dtmt502Ghibli movies will always have a special place in our hearts, and it did make a crack in the mainstream and introduce those not too familiar with anime to the stories that the medium can tell. However, I really believe Ghibli movies weren't really able to break through to the modern era, despite the quality of their movies.
As much as I love them, I also believe that Your Name really did set the standard for what a modern anime movie should attempt to be. It's a different level of quality of animation compared to Ghibli movies, it still has its subtlety and nuance, but mostly it is also adept at presenting a narrative that's a fair bit easier to understand for casual viewers, something that sort of gatekeeped casual viewers from a lot of Ghibli movies. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose friends were kinda turned off from them after watching something like Spirited Away that absolutely doesnt hold your hand at any point throughout the movie in helping you understand.
Both Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai movies are awesome. But Shinkai just adapted itself well to modern viewers and there's no denying the influence it's had moving forward after its release.
i always cry when i watch this movie, ofc im also crying watching this, it's such an amazing movie, i love it.
Watched it the fifth or sixth time recently, when I was on the plane getting back from Japan. One of my checklist. I remember when the first time I watched the show, the part when the pencil dropped and Mitsuha just vanished, my tears just burst and dropped without me even realizing. Years passed and Your Name is still no.1 in my heart.
I think the process of their love is kind of..not common on romance genre but, if you'll observe..the scene were the girl cried out of nowhere as she woke up was because Taki will go on a date, she's on the stage on which she's developing feelings for him. The 2nd is when she tried to go to Tokyo and she was heartbroken that he didn't recognize her. The sign of heartbroken is when she cut her hair. On Taki's side, he's on the process of enjoying that unbelievable thing that is happening in his life so he doesn't give much thought about his feelings for her because he's use to being part of each others life but, he realize how much he cared for her when they stop switching bodies on which they were no longer communicating. He tried to reach her and later he realize how much she meant for him.
I have a confusion!!!
So does anyone have any valid and compatible theory or conclusion that at last after Taki and Mitsuha ask each other's names what happens next as I desperately want to see them together in a relationship and probably as couples so based upon this I have 2 confusion:
1) Do they recover their memories after knowing each other's name and then will it start their love story again?
2) If after knowing each other's name if they don't get memories back but just have feelings then how will their love story progress?
I've always interpreted them forgetting stuff as the "universe" trying to restablish the order any chance it gets... There's this "magical" events going on surrounding that shrine, and that creates paradoxes, so every time the timeline settles, they keep on forgetting so every event keeps a feasible explanation... But even though they don't really remember each other because in the final timeline they didn't really meet, there's a little something remaining in that invisible thread that connects them
THE SOUNDTRACK IS INSANE FOR THIS ONE. still listening to many songs from it years later after watching it the first time.
this is by far my favorite reaction channel, keep it up guys! such raw and real reactions
The Mitsuha family is a lineage of Shinto priests who have protected this shrine for generations. Therefore, it is possible that she, her grandmother, and her mother possessed uncanny mystical powers. By the way, Director Makoto Shinkai is one of Japan's leading artists of animated films, following Hayao Miyazaki of Ghibli Studio, Japan's most famous studio. His feature is delicate animation that is even more beautiful than reality. Especially the representation of water.
If you plan to try other animation movies, I recommend "A silent voice".

This movie is just one of those movies that makes me feel so empty after I reached the end. The soundtracks don’t help either because every time I hear the intro of Sparkle, I get so nostalgic.
Empty? Should be the opposite.
@@LoXHumaNempty because I don’t know how to move on after watching such incredible show. should’ve reworded that better but oh well
I was so frustrated and so sad that they didn't remember each other in the end that I almost cried man, I can't describe how sad I was when watching this back in 9th grade
You guys are wholesome i swear i love watching your reactions and how calm you are while watching and how expressive you are i wish I could watch a show with you 🥹 you guys feel so comfy. Please keep filming more reactions like this
I cannot pinpoint the moment they fell in love for each other either but I find it very reasonable that it happened without us or them noticing keeping in mind how close they were to each other (literally being in each other's body and living each other's life). What I can pinpoint is the moment they probably realized their feelings for each other. I think for Mitsuha it was when she set up Taki for a date and then woke up crying and caught her hair right after because she was heartbroken. For Taki it must be the moment he realized they are not switching back and the emptiness and dread he felt due to her absence. The fact that he did all that to try and find her makes my heart bleed every time. Soulmate tropes are my favorite but also the worst in terms of making my soul hurt 😝
Even rewatching for a 3rd time,the ending gives me chills.
Cried so much while watching this movie... my 2nd favourite is garden of words. Hoping to see your reaction on that too ♥️
I think this is a film to be appreciated and analyzed more than once. Because when you know this story and ending, when you see it for the second time you see the details that reinforce and explain in detail how that conclusion is reached. I have seen this movie dozens of times and I enjoy it more each time. from its animation and its story to its music which is incredibly beautiful...
im glad you guys liked it!! In Japan, under the moon, messages of love will never disappear which could be why he wrote i love you instead of his own name
Oh they've GOTTA watch A Silent Voice now. Thanks for reacting to such a great movie
There was a point in the film when they say the records of the shrine rituals were lost in a few hundred years ago so they're maintaining them without knowing what they represent. If you rewatch the 'dance' it depicts the splitting of the comet. And in the spiritual place the drawing on the roof.
Then the whole thread building tying lives and fate together - Mitsuha gave that band to Taki tying them together.
There is lot of spiritual allusions like the red string of fate being connected to a god from the moon; but mostly explained quite well in the film.
Unlike other 'body swap' films this one really went the extra mile to explain how and why.
I love watching reactions to this movie. I started watching it hoping for a rom-com type of movie and remember how shook I was when the plot twist was revealed. My favorite scene is when they meet eyes on the train and are running to find each other. They didn't remember each other but they KNEW each other. This is one of the best portrayals of soulmates in media in my opinion.
okay move recs you HAVE to watch: wolf children (I love this movie it was a big part of my childhood), a silent voice (also great but watch wolf children first), grave of the fireflies (this one was tragic), weathering with you (the weather one Carter mentioned at the start😂)
such an amazing movie!! the soundtrack, visuals, story!!? never fails to give me chills:0
Please do Princess Mononoke it’s one of the finest pieces of art ever
The song played when the comet is falling (“Sparkle” by RADWIMPS) I used it for my wedding last year when I walked down the aisle 🥰 I just love that song so much and I thought the beginning of the song with the piano was great for building up the anticipation for my entrance 💜
I cried SO MUCH the first time I watched this movie. And tbh, I still cry whenever I watch it, shamelessly!! Hahaha it’s just so good, I rewatch it every couple of months 💗
One of my favorites movies ever, so happy that you guys saw it. Also the second watch is totally worth it because you connect all the scenes and makes so much sense 😉
People need to stop saying that they're going to cry lol. If they're expecting to cry they'll be less likely to cry.
Carter is so cute, the greenest flag 🥰 Also, thanks for reacting to this. Love you, guys❤
omg cant believe you guys watched this!! so excited, one of my favorite movies.
You guys made my day lmao. Seeing you guys so invested in the movie I watched over 5 times after its release is so wholesome. Hahaha
A silent voice! It's time to cry boy's😊😅😢
It's been years and nothing still beats this one, even from the same studio.
love that you guys are looking into anime movies! Makoto Shinkai's films are really pretty. I think there's even a commercial with this kind of animation..
If you're taking recommendations, Summer Wars - a favorite as well!
Grave of the Fireflies and Into the Forest of Firefly Lights are my absolute faves alongside Your Name!
Bro wants them to be depressed 💀
@@thelordkk512 LMAO I mean, those are impactful because they are "depressing"
The garden of words is another movie with the best visuals and sound effects of all time in an anime 🙏🙏🙏
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is also good!
One thing never changes, after watching Your Name, you'd be left silently staring in the screen or in the air, pondering what just happened, and how a masterpiece of a movie you just watched.
The scene where grown-up Taki and Miki meet for the first time in a long time. There is a shining ring on Miki's left ring finger! During a conversation with friends at a cafe, the same ring as Miki is shining on my friend Tsukasa's left ring finger. In fact, the two of them are engaged.
If you guys like this, then you should also watch a silent voice! A silent voice and your name are the 2 best anime movies imo
Dude on the left was giving the best reactions! This movie had me shook for years lol
the goatest anime reaction channel, maybe even react channel, in youtube history
Wow best comment in UA-cam history🥹
Your name is my all time favorite movie ♡♡ and makes me cry so much!! Thanks you for reacting to it
