Critics Consensus

As beautifully animated as it is emotionally satisfying, Your Name adds another outstanding chapter to writer-director Makoto Shinkai's filmography.

Kristen Yoonsoo Kim

Brooklyn Magazine

Beautifully animated (we're talking Studio Ghibli standards here), Your Name captures that sensation of waking up from a dream you wish lasted longer, or misplacing a name that's still warm on your tongue, but has just departed.

By the time Your Name reaches its moving finale, the Next Big Thing tag doesn't seem quite enough for Shinkai. He's arrived already.

By the time Your Name reaches its final half-hour or so, the film has moved so far beyond its initial premise that if you think back to the beginning, you'll be astonished by how far it's come.

Rated: 5/5

Spotlight on Film

An emotionally intense, unforgettable viewing experience, filled with “coming-of-age” fun and spiritual longings.

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

As much as it is very well done, I don’t think it’s worth putting it up on such a high pedestal on par with the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Your Name is good, but for me, it's not worthy of breaking Spirited Away’s record good.

Rated: 8/10

Great story: The premise and phasing is awesomely great. But the plot twist and ending makes it perfect. Beautiful visual: There's a lot beautiful scenery, and the characters' design is good as well. Memorable instrument: The backsound and music makes me feel like dreaming a miraculous world. Plot : 4,8/5 Visual : 5/5 Audio : 4,9/5 Overall : One of the greatest anime masterpiece!

This is definitely one of, if not the best animated movie I have ever seen. Pretty much all aspects of this movie, from the animations and visual effects, all the way to the incredible soundtrack, fit together in such a way that feels almost unreal. I won't spoil the plot, story, or anything else about it, so my advice to anyone who hasn't done so is: Watch it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
