Thank you so much for watching the video! I'm not expecting this to get too many views, so shares are REALLY appreciated! Twitter, Reddit, your dog, it all helps the video out!
Let me know what content has positively influenced your life!
NOTE: I say "animes" in the video sometimes, which is supposedly wrong as anime is plural, so whoops, I was just so excited I started blurting out nonsense I guess hehe
Thank you for making a community post about this movie before you made the video. I watched the movie based on your recommendation and it was so good, thank you for introducing me to my new favorite anime movie.
@@maxhydekyle2425 Aw that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it so much :D Thanks for watching the video!
I really admire your work! I'm from Portugal ... just to see you have fans all over the world! You should work in an animation company! I really enjoyed your work ... returne to zootopia! Will it make more episodes? Please answer me ... I am a big fan.
You need to watch Mushi-shi!!
For a fun, trippy time, watch Masaaki Yuasa's The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl.
I wish I could erase my memory and watch this movie again
Unspoil me by Samsung could help. Its a video that will erase a Tv series by hypnotizing you
I think so too
Pretty fucking accurate
Me too
@@sidesky5559 It hasn't helped :c
Kimi no Nawa is a classic. It's truly amazing how anime can change people's perspectives and affect their lives.
Yeah I'm very happy this film affected me as much as it did
To me the film that completely changed my life was 5 cm per second. This may sound really weird, but it actually made me want to have a genuine romantic relationship. A longing that I had never really felt at the time. It also got me back into Anime and specifically into romance anime. I will forever be thankful to Makoto Shinkai for that.
Kimi no na wa then really just added more on top of that. Both of them are two of my absolute favorite films of all time.
ALSO THE FLM IS A VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL
Yep, this was my gate way anime and now I've got 114 finished animes in my list
@@CoIoneISanders 114 anime in 3 years damn
When Taki wrote "I love you" instead of writing his name, I was both left broken and left painfully in love with that scene. If Taki wrote his name, it'll be just forgotten and wiped out just like what happened to Mitsuha's written diary and other memories of him to her. Writing "I love you" left Mitsuha remember the feeling of being love and letting her to continue living the life she deserve. The heart will never forget.
I never looked at it that way thanks
The scene of her seeing the writing on her had and saying, "This dosent help me." Is one of my favorite scenes in all of animation
Thank you,😢 what a beautiful analogy. And I agree 100%, when I saw that I couldn’t help but start to tear up.
Your name changed my life now i miss my GF more and more i lost her a year ago from cancer this movie tells me that im still connected with her idk how but i love u jenny miss you so much 😥
Mirza Adnan yo you good bro? Sounds tuff
Remember friend, in the end the thread will always be connected to you and her and no matter what time, place, or circumstance you'll be together again in the end, happy.
i recommend you watching 5 cm per sec. if you haven't yet.
Sorry for your loss, man. Hope you're doing fine a year after this comment.
Awwwwwm!!!!!!!
I think this anime taught me that I need to start living. And there is always someone out there for me.
Yep.... Im not crying your crying...
I feel that
Obviously a therapist😂
This movie ACTUALLY changed my life. I was always a very.... emotionless, mundane person. Kinda gloomy and always sad. Also I hated "romance" since childhood I don't really know why. And terrible portrayal of love and romance in media made this hate stronger. (I'm talking about you, Twilight). So I actually started identify as aromantic (for the people who don't know being aromantic means you don't feel romantic attraction you feel it less than what an average person would feel). But in August of last year I decided to watch this movie even though I tend to avoid romantic stuff. And holly shit this movie hit me like a truck. Like emotions I've never felt before. It was soo _otherworldly_ . I was in a trance for the entire day. I was literally enchanted. It made me fell all my bottled up feelings which I've never felt before. And it also made me realize that I wasn't aromantic after all. which is important because the next week one of my best friend asked me out. Normally I would've just rejected her but I didn't thanks to this movie. And it was one of the best things in my life that I did. Because of this movie I have a girlfriend. A person who I can share everything about me with and someone who will always be there for me. just like you said. That's why I hold this movie dear to my heart and I'll keep holding it till I die
@@blesskurunai9213 Me also, but not in your way. Before watching this, I always have a really good sleep every night. After watching it, I have insomnia. I guess it's because the movie is too good to me to forget
Two of the best anime movies I’ve ever seen is.
1. A Silent Voice
2. Your Name
❤️💙
Watch Akira 1988
Megaman Roige I already have.....
A silent Voice is an absolute masterpiece. It's hard to watch both movies after another. They seem similar, but have extremely different qualities.
@@CycloneFox read the manga of silent voice
@@emilimarc thanks for the advice. ^^
Your Name is definitely my favourite movie ever. It is so perfect in ways I can't explain. I have watched it least 7 times already and read the manga. It has too, affected me! Thank you Makoto Shinkai! ❤️
I have a question, did they bring back memories when they met each other 5 years later beacuse at the end they ask each other what is your name and they probably got married or something but did they remember how they switched bodies and how they saved a city??? I need to know that!
I just came here after my 27th time since the pandemic has begun 🌠❤
@@nikolajovanovic7774 That's how most anime works... The creators leave everything to us, wondering and lingering onto it, with despair 😇
maybe watch more movies
One of the realest quotes in the video is that animes know their audience are smart
This!! This is why you should never compare anime to western cartoons
Browntable's got great taste in anime. I remember back when the whole anime community was talking about this movie and i didn't watch it because the community likes to over hype things alot. Then a year later i gave it a go and i was incredibly surprised! This movie really blew me away.
honestly dude i felt the same way about boku no pico
So did I!
Same! I’m glad i waited for the hype to die down then watch it. It was totally worth it.
no one overhyped Eden of the East. It's super underrated, but it's a really great social commentary with a lot of beautiful elements of story telling and character building. You should give it a go. The ending is bittersweet though.
Nice
Aaa, I remember watching Kimi No Nawa for the first time and I bawled my eyes out. The music and cinematography in this movie is phenomenal! Great video!!!
【Gegyar】 Oh man, I cried a couple times during the movie but the ending made me absolutely loose it lol Kimi No Na Wa is definitely my no.1 favorite anime movie
Well, I just watched it for the first time and I'm sat here crying. It was a rollercoaster of emotions, it made me cry like a baby, laugh, smile etc.
This movie helped me to realize how deep the connection through the opposite sex can become. It’s not physical, it’s emotional.
Spiritual…
I'm sure you can have a deep emotional connection with people who aren't necessarily the opposite sex.
@@boxbird5723 she didn't say it has to be the opposite sex. She said how deep it CAN be
Exactly! I'm asexual that's why I never gotten into most of romantic media. I just couldn't relate with the sexual attraction. But this movie focuses on the true ROMANTIC aspect. A true romance, a true love, not based on the desire to have sex but based on actual care, love and respect. Mitsuha and Taki literally fell in love with each other by living each other's life. It's wonderful.
You can tell just how much of an effect the film has had on me when, just playing that seconds long clip of the pen cut, my stomach dropped and I was close to tears.
The scenes where the film blends CGI with the rest of the animation are just magnificent.
Pretty much near unnoticeable, so good
@@Browntable Yep
It’s only been a few movies that made me cry and happy at the same time but this is on a new level 😂
Fr like the feeling is indescribable
Fr
This might sound very corny but having been in quarantine forever now, I watched this movie a few months ago and it shocked me into feeling something again. I think the main thing is how healthy its portrayal of love is. It's so rare to see something in the west where the love between characters is just built on supporting each other, as opposed to toxic slow burn back and forths, shared superficial interests, or unrealistic meet-cutes. Taki and Mitshua support each other's lives and stand up for the other when they won't stand up for themselves. I love the scene where Taki confronts Mitshua's dad, for instance. It reminded me what a healthy relationship looks like. The plot might be fantasy, but the foundation of their relationship is real.
True. Most anime these days contain romance that is completely unreal. Like the main character being dense and hugging a girl with no intentions behind it and her responding without a restriction order.
Just watched this again and it hit me a little different when Taki (as Mitsuha) kicks over the desk when the school girls are gossiping about her and her dad/mayor. He was standing up for her in HIS way.
Your ‘rant’ at the end is exactly how I feel about anime. I spent years beating myself up thinking I was picking an ‘easy’ medium and that I should only be allowed to enjoy storytelling if it came from classic literature. Then at some point I realised anime is exactly what you described and so much more! I’m so glad I found an art form that truly speaks to me :’)
Ps: you should watch Hyouka and Shinsekai Yori if you haven’t already :)
Oh I love Hyouka! So good
Happy news for Your Name fans. Makoto Shinkai is writing and directing another animated movie called Weathering With You. A beautifully animated and musically elegant trailer has dropped. It drops in Japan Jul 19th.
PS - It seems Radwimps will be doing the music again as well.
IT LOOKS SO GOOD, I rewatched the trailer like six times
@@Browntable I know right!
Wow, I knew he'd been working on something new, but holy shit this is amazing
CrimsonOdachi/MaskedAsura there won’t be a dub right?
@@perfectcell2663 I am not aware of a dub at this point. I've only heard that the official US release may not be until 2020.
When you made the community post saying that you were going to make a video on this movie I had never seen it before so I decided to watch it because of your recommendation. I just want to say thank you for introducing me to one of my new favorite anime movies oh, it was shockingly good and emotional.
Max Hyde I share the exact same experience, and deeply thank brown table for bringing this movie to my attention, it's truly changed the way I look at things.
@@IJMiller82 Same here... and i wtached it day after my birthday... no way i can forget the first time i wath it now.. Thanks browntable
Aleksandar Kalajdzic
I just watched this and it’s the day before my bday😛😭😭😭
I can't say about other animes but "Your Name." was really something that affect me that I can't explain...
I feel the exact same.
I didn't realize that my story could mean so much to someone. Thank you for sharing
Wow, it’s incredible how similar my relationship with anime is to yours. In my childhood, only things like Naruto and Dragon Ball would be in my radar, and I always thought it was a stupid medium with exaggerated plots, expressions and I just couldn’t watch it. Only last year, after a lot of resistance, did I actually watch anything anime in its entirety, and that was Death Note. Despite the wacky intros, it was such a serene, serious and smart show and i really loved it, so it served as my gateway into anime. After that, I tried something wackier, My Hero Academia, and was blown away by the heart it had. Now, every time I watch any new anime, I discover a new side of the medium, new animation styles, techniques, new genres, themes.... As you said, beaming with creativity. Your Name really isn’t a traditional movie, it’s very much about the ride and the message overall is pretty simple, what made it special for me is the fact that it’s anime - the facial expressions, the cinematography, the sound, voice acting, the feels - I truly believe it could never have worked for me as a live action or traditional western animation movie. That’s how much these great pieces of content have changed me: from despising and making fun of them to cherishing them in a way i could never cherish any other medium. Love it ❤️
You should check out Hunter x Hunter, it has some interesting characters with sweet ass action as shonen normally would, and its tropes as a shonen anime feels somewhat fresh and exciting to watch
captainobvious90 sounds cool, i’ll definitely check it out
dont diss Death Notes intro that is a masterpiece and u will like it
Every single time I watch Your Name, I end up bawling my eyes out. This movie means so much to me 💙
Man the ost always makes me wanna watch it again and again. Radwips rocked it as always
Dude this movie is so mind boggling that at the end it just leaves you confused, yet somehow you understand it. Its very hard to explain, but i just love this film basically
Man, I was trying so hard to let myself to not cry during the video. Probably because I've watched Your Name more than countable times, and crying every time watching it after understanding it what it means (the 4th time prob?) and my THIS IS my FAVORITE anime film too
I got to the half way point in the movie, started crying and didn’t stop until the credits. This movie broke my heart and make it feel full at the same time. Kimi no Nawa is magical and beautiful. A story of love I’ll never forget
I didn't enjoy your name as much my first time watch but HOLY CRAP I was blown away the second time. I focused too much on the beauty of the animation and wanting to cry that I didn't focus on everything else that makes this movie so incredible
This movie is the reason for my interest in Anime movies these days. Also good anime dramas to watch are The Garden of Words and Wolf Children.
I second this
Garden of words is from the same director and only 45 minutes long. I love it much more than Your Name.
oh and Wolf Children is an absolute masterpiece of feels too, and not about a romantic relationship at its core. It's about motherhood, and so beautifully done. The music... kills me every time.
Alds Amanda Wolf Children is absolutely fantastic
You should watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Your Name it's my favorite anime movie
Your next line is: is that a JoJo reference?
@Schwabbel no
Fellas, pls stop. Spamming those phrases is the Pickle Rick of JoJo. The only thing worse is KDD.
IT WAS ME, DIO
@@ThatOneGuy7550 God took the wrong son
A silent voice related to me more but your name affected me more. The animation in both was amazing but I loved your names much better, the sun shining behind Takis back when he was looking through their memories is an example and the soundtrack goes to your name. But they both made me cry but your name stuck with me more. So in the end your name was better in my opinion
I was more emotionally invested in the characters of this movie and their relationships than I think I ever have been before. Your Name is TRULY a masterpiece
The shots and the "photography" in this movie is pure art, I was shocked when I first saw it. I think is the best anime movie I have ever seen.
Watch Stein; Gate! Best time travel anime and one of my favorites.
People should really give Steins; Gate a shot. It's literally the best Anime for me.
It’s a great show, it shows the consequences of time travelling and messing with the past while our protagonist, Okabe Rintarou, try to twist fate and change the future for his and his loved one’s lives to be better. DEFINITELY give it a shot.
Wait a minute mayuri’s watch isn’t working that’s strange
Best show based on time travel ever made. "BEST SHOW" imo, after Dark (series).
I love how Death Note introduces so many people to anime (myself included) and this movie just comes at you full force and then your in for life
"Your Name" was exemplary filmmaking; I was holding back tears at its conclusion. The only other media that have touched me as much are the scene from the "Roots" miniseries with Kunta Kinte weeping over a dead Fiddler; Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" and Joe Talbot's "The Last Black Man in San Francisco".
Man, you truly are a storyteller. The way you talked troughout the whole video made me feel goosebumps.
Ikr I love these types of videos and the people who make them
I live in a near the location of Itomori Lake in the anime "Your Name"
Watch out for meteors bro
@@Rudenbehr
It's better to watch out for earthquakes than meteors. right?
Because I'm on Japan's biggest a zone of active
faulting. About 20 million years ago, a Fossa Magna (geological rift in the ocean) formed across central Japan, eventually developing into a mountain range.
Fossa Magna is one of japan's main rift zones, and in geology it is the boundary between Northeastern and Western Japan.
Watching this video hit me so hard, I started crying by the five minute mark. This film is so incredible, and I recommend it to literally everyone. Why am I still crying?
Watched your name and A Silent voice in the same night lol, my heart is dyinggg!!!!!!!!!
I completely agree with all of your points. Incredible. Welcome to team anime
Can we put a NSFW tag on this, I was almost outright crying watching this
As a weeb born out of the womb, watching anime since i can remember, remembering being 6 watching naruto shippuden air with my older brother, all the crying, joy, anger
everything
From, one weeb to another, I welcome you
this film also changed my life. it made me cry and weep and to this day I still don't know why. it's so beautiful in every way possible. it gives me nostalgia of the first time I watched it and who I was then. I get nostalgia of times when I've sat and watched this film with my sister, my best friend and my ex girlfriend. I still get shivers at many moments throughout the film or whenever I hear the soundtrack. it simply is, a masterpiece
To be honest, the five anime films that changed me, were Your Name, Summer Wars, A Silent Voice, Akira, and of course, Spirited Away. (Side Note: Perfect Blue terrified the hell out of me)
All so great oof
When you put out the post saying you were making this video I was so excited to hear your views on it, not to say it isn’t a popular movie but I hope it opens people up to giving anime a go because it’s so incredible. Thank you for making another amazing video, buzzing for the next 👍🏻
I just watched Your Name and holy shit…
I have never seen a more beautiful movie and a plot that touches you like no other!
♾/10
Attack on titan and Your Name have changed the way I think about a lot of things
10/10 movie... 10/10 video
Thank you so much! :)
*_To be honest, Cory In The House and Shrek are the only anime series that changes my life._*
A true chad weeb you are
@@Browntable 👌
I immediately came here after watching Your Name for the first time a few days ago, as I’ve seen you mention it on Twitter a few times. It is far and away one of the best movies I’ve ever seen and an instant favorite that I cannot wait to watch again. I’m also new to anime, having only been introduced to Studio Ghibli in 2020 and starting my first show, Attack on Titan, earlier this year, to supplement my reading of the manga (also my first). I, like you, can’t believe it took me this long to give anime a try, and I can’t get enough of it. This movie in particular is a masterpiece that I know I will be thinking about every day for the rest of my life. Thanks for a great video; I’m off to watch everything you mentioned (including IRC)!
Honestly couldn't agree more. Your name was the film that made me want to pursue filmmaking.
Usually I never watch movies more than 1 time or a couple of times, except for really just a couple of movies. But this movie, this movie! I’ve watched it something like 10 times, I’ve just rewatched yesterday and I still don’t have enough. It’s amazing, my favourite without any doubt and I don’t think I will ever find something that surpasses this movie
I love when you expand your videos beyond marvel and dc
this movie made me feel indescribable
emotions i never knew existed
Real
Dude, I came across this video maybe two months ago, and never made it part where you say if you've not already seen this, see it, so I kept stopping at like 1:00 in. I FINALLY watched this film tonight and yeah, it killed me. This really was like, the most perfect movie ever.
Grave of the Fireflies please!!!!!!!! More people should know about it. One of the best films ever! Ebert cried while watching it.
Anime changed my life too. As I kept growing, and my responsibilities changed, I stopped watching it, but I'll always remember the show that had the most impact on me: Tatami Galaxy.
Man you made me cry man, I hope the algorithm gets to show this amazing video to other people
Some shows you just feel different after watching u know? Uh watched so many that I don’t even know how I feel anymore
I agree with this video on a heavy level. While I watched anime beforehand I never really was touched or moved by anything. This movie was my 3rd anime movie ever and genuinely moved me and changed my life. I've watched this movie 10+ times and honestly it was an amazing experience and I wish I could watch this movie again. This is my favorite movie ever and it truly made me rethink my life because of events irl surrounding the first time I watched the movie. It's amazing how much one movie can change you're entire perspective.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THIS AMAZING FILM. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH.
honestly this is is probably the best analysis video i've ever seen. you really out did yourself good job dude
I've stumbled across this a little late...but this brought back reminders why I love anime so much - thank you!!
true.your name is so great it is the only movie that i can't get off my head.i downloaded the soundtrack,love the story,the characters,the twist,the visual.Your name is truly something special,this movie changed my perspective about anime,because of your name i started watching more anime......so yeah its rlly good go check out this movie,i highly recommend it
Wow, beautiful video!! Love how you so eloquently highlighted the masterpiece that is this brilliant movie!
The first time I watched Your Name was probably the greatest movie watching experience I’ve ever had. I remember staring in absolute awe at my TV screen and being so transfixed and yelling in confusion and surprise and CRYING at least three times. And once I finished it, the awe I felt at the beauty I just watched really was unexplainable. And instead of watching another movie that night, I watched Your Name a second time... immediately after finishing it the first. It was just that beautiful. And it still is upon every rewatch!
Hearing all this praise about anime as a medium as well makes me want to dive back into my long “To Watch” list of anime shows! Better get on that! Thanks for creating this lovely video!
This is really inspiring. I love how much passion you have
Your video on Your Name, brought me to tears. These are the videos that I subscribed to this channel for. Thank you.
I watched Kimi no Nawa in 2017 too. I watched it about 6 times. It's not only my favourite anime but my favourite movie(animated or not animated) of all-time. I love everything about it, the music, the visuals, the characters, the story,etc. This movie make me binch watch other anime for like a month. The song sparkle and nandemomayo, is my first japanese song that I actually listen to.
Welp, time to rewatch this Masterpiece.
This movie has made me feel the exact same way you do, and has forever changed my life. It is so beautifully put together and animated. Completely takes my breath away and makes me cry every time.
This video is so underrated. Editing, pace and humor are on point! I died laughing a few times. Found my way here after just seeing Your Name for my first time last week.
I've just gotten into anime movies, and watched Spirited Away, A Silent Voice, and Your Name, as they seemed to be the most acclaimed. I thought they were all great, but Your Name was definitely my favorite. I wouldn't put them in my all time favorites list, but I loved all of them and eager to watch more. Turned out anime movies are just as great as anime shows lol
Ofc they are
Finally some gets it, I feel incredibly vindicated by this video. Your Name also changed my life. And I'll always be grateful for it, beyond words.
Beautifully written video. I like the anime you use in the slideshows too, lots of those are my favourites!
The passion in your voice is inspiring.
This is my favorite film because it has so much lessons that we can learn from. The soundtrack is also very very very good. I always play it when I'm happy, sad, etc. It's so good it's a movie that I can watch all over again. Thank for reviewing it ^^ I'm glad you felt the warmth it gave me. Also I love your reviews. Keep it up 😊
Koe no katachi actually changed something about me. Back when i was in class 5 i was a bully. I thought being bully is cool. But after watching these movie my whole perspective changed. I stopped bullying others at school. Koe no katachi or the shape of voice changed me a bit.
Goddamn that’s powerful, I’m glad you’re a better person now bro 🙏
This video was great! I think you got all the important points across very concisely about what makes this movie so magical and I sincerely enjoyed it.
You just talking about it made me remember all of what happened in the film, and it left me teary-eyed at work. See, the thing I loved on Kimi No Nawa was everything you just mentioned coalescing together to MAKE A COMPELLING STORY AND LET YOU FEEL WHAT THE CHARACTERS WERE FEELING. All the joys, frustrations, sadness and relief that both Taki and Mitsuha felt was also something I felt watching the film. There's not much movies right now that could do that.
Thank you so much for talking about this movie! Same as you, this movie changed me. It helped me get through a difficult time in my life and helped me believe in love once more.
I know the spoiler of the time travel when I first watched it, but I *genuinely* forgot about it because the movie was so beautiful and I was so surprised when it happened. This movie is amazing.
One of my favorite anime movies is the wind rises. I love it
Awesome! Thank you so much for this! Wishing you success!
I've had this video in my watch later playlist for so long, ever since I finished Your Name (which must have been over a year now). I'm so glad to have watched it now and reexpereince the emotions I felt after watching the movie. You summed up perfectly how I felt about the movie and brought more clarity to why I love this movie so much! I can also relate to how this movie really pushed me into watching more anime and see how it can tell such a beautiful story. What a lovely video!!!
Anime films that affected me the most(not in order):
1) Patema Inverted and 5 Cm per second(they were the first non-franchise anime films that I ever watched)
2) A silent Voice(greatest FIlm ever made, made me cry like I was running Niagra falls)
3)Summer Wars(One of the first anime films I would buy, starting my hobby in that area)
4) Night Is Short, Walk on Girl(Masaki Yuasa)
5) Pokemon: Rise of Darkrai I believe it was called(first pokemon movie I ever saw, and actually was very influential in getting me into pokemon)
6)Sonic OVA(not technically a movie, but it was a significant part of my childhood and my love of Sonic)
7) Your Name(first anime film I saw in theaters)
8) Big Fish and Begonia(helped me realize the potential of Chinese animation)
9)Naruto films(made me hate most franchise films)
10)Lupin the 3rd: Castle of Cagliostro and Saga of Tanya the Evil: The Movie(Helped give me hope for franchise films)
11)Tales from Earthsea(first Ghibli that I hate and first Ghibli film)
12)Tale of Princess Kaguya(favorite Ghibli film, I only wish that I could watch it a second time the way I watched it the first)
13) A silent voice(I already mentioned it)
14) Eva 1.11(I watched this one on repeat for several days, until I watched 3.33, now I haven't watched any of the films since).
15) Fate/Stay Night heaven's feel part I(reinvigorated my love of fate after UBW and Kaleid almost killed it)
Totally agree with your thoughts on A Silent Voice; if Browntable loved Your Name, he's gonna be bowled over by A Silent Voice. Best piece of media ever made (this is, of course, only my opinion). Though, I hypothesize that one's love or feeling of "meh" towards it depends entirely on their history with bullying (either being bullied or been bullied). Though this is entirely anecdotal, and the sample size (5 others excluding myself) is way too small to get any meaningful data from, I have noticed the trend above of those who have been touched by bullying having a MUCH greater resonance with A Silent Voice. Regardless, it's wonderful and everyone should see it.
Love this comment, thanks for sharing!
You should watch Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms. It's probably the one of the best animated movies I've seen, at least narratively anyway.
I love watching people gush about how they fell in love with anime as a medium. I also went through a very similar "I've finally seen the light" moment and just... same. For lack of a better way to express how much I love anime, let me just repeat: Anime is fuckin magic.
Ugh, this video, and your one on A Silent Voice, talk about exactly what I love about the two movies and make me watch them again. But at the same time I don't think I'll be able to not cry this time since I just about didn't last time :p
I love your work, every video is a masterpiece. Keep up the great work!! :)
I really love the music of this anime, especially Nandemonaiya and Katawaredoki. I love this anime, I really love it.
For me, there's two anime that influenced me more than anything else, more than any other medium has: K-ON! and Koe no Katachi. K-ON! is my favourite anime because of its relatability to my own life back when I was in Highschool. The mundane fun with friends in a club, performing, going on trips together, I could relate to it all, But it was the ending that related to me most. I was the youngest of my friends so of course they all had to graduate at one point, and I felt that same amount of sadness during our final school performance and that same feeling of "I wish they could stay behind longer." Yet even more relatable to me was Koe no Katachi. It is my favourite film, period. It feels more personal to me than anything I've ever experienced before, to the point where it felt like a documentation of my own life in a way. I have experienced the same events as making mistakes at one point in my life and suddenly being treated as a bully by people who never had an issue with the matter before; having friends all suddenly turn their backs on me and distance themselves from me; coming to hating myself and not being able to forgive myself because of this event; planning to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge but then ultimately not doing so. Though I still struggle with a lot of these mental issues to this day, the film felt like the only thing in existence that truly understands how I feel, even more do than my friends. It's beautiful in its execution and objectively a masterpiece of a film, but what mattered the most to me was what it meant to me. Naoko Yamada captured not just the events of these two stories well, but especially the emotions it brought along in such an authentic way. These emotions correlated so strongly with how I once felt that I was able to enter back into the times when I felt these same feelings once again. These two anime feel less so like just another piece of media I had consumed, and more so like a piece of me put to screen by someone I had never even met.
Movies that shaped me; one anime, one live action/regular:
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
2. Koe no Katachi (the manga was more impactful but still the movie impacted me)
This video could not have come out any sooner. I’m just about to start a whole segment on my podcast about the wisdom and teachings we experience through anime and how it can change or affect your own life. Dope vid man !!
I don't watch anime a lot but Kimi no na wa is amazing! It's my favorite anime for sure
This was beatiful, it made me remind how i felt watching the movie. If i could recommend an anime i suggest Rurouni Kenshin: it's a shonnen and talks about redemption and how the past tries to catch you and make you confront the horrors of the life that you lived. I hope you like it. Also, the ovas are just wonderful!
Regards from Chile!
I love this movie so much. Watched it like 5 times and i still find little hidden details. It's a true gem and it really infuriates me how masterpieces like Kimi no na wa are overlooked while other mediocre films are praised.
Some anime movies I'd recommend (if you haven't seen them already):
• Every. Single. Ghibli. Movie.
• The Red Turtle
• Akira & Ghost in the Shell (classics)
• Liz and the Blue Bird
• The Girl Who Leapt Through Time & Wolf Children
• Angel's Egg
• Redline
• Tekkonkinkreet
• Perfect Blue
• The Night is Short, Walk on Girl
This video has got me in my feels in all kinds of ways. The beauty of Your Name and your passion for an art form I love so much. Thank you for putting into words some of the reasons I love anime.
I love how you explain Your Name because when I was watching Your Name I felt so happy that I wanted to be in the movie and feel how it felt to live like them or have a person to change bodies with and all the animation and the music is such a Melody to me and I will never ever forget how I felt when I watched it....I also cried so much when I watched it. It was so BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE ANIME ❤️
The way that 'Kimi no Nawa' changed my life is that it made me depressed -_-
Honestly, I think From Up on Poppy Hill is one of the most underrated anime I’ve ever watched. It’s really good, and if you have a chance please consider watching it.
You just took all of the feelings and inspiration i got from that movie, and put it into word form where i couldn't. Im pretty sure this movie genuanly changed my idenity aswell.
Naruto changed me on an astronomical level ..i grew up with him until now and i learned so many things that nobody else around me could teach even if he's a fictional character he means a lot to me and i consider him a friend. And about Your Name i just rewatched it for the second time and i think im gonna rewatch it againg :)) some things you can't just describe in an imdb score.
