Critics Consensus

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

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.

5/5

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.

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

8/10

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.

I would say this is my favorite movie; every detail is simply beautiful—the animation, the story, everything. It's a light romance that mixes time travel with comedy; simply adorable. I loved it and would rewatch it a million times.

*"Your Name" is a breathtaking blend of emotion, beauty, and masterful storytelling. Makoto Shinkai delivers a film that feels both intimate and epic, weaving themes of love, fate, and memory into an unforgettable cinematic experience. From the opening moments, the movie draws you into a world where everyday life meets a mysterious, magical connection. The animation is absolutely stunning—every scene looks like a painting, from glowing city lights to peaceful rural landscapes. Radwimps’ soundtrack perfectly matches the film’s emotional rhythm, amplifying its most heartfelt and powerful moments. What makes "Your Name" truly special is its emotional impact. It’s romantic, funny, moving, and full of wonder, with characters you instantly care about and a story that stays with you long after the credits roll. This is a must-watch film—beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable. I definitely recommend it. ''Your Name'' is one of the greatest anime ever made...

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.
