The now-legendary Your Name hit BluRay this week, so I finally saw it. Eh...it's good, certainly, but I don't understand how this is one of (if not the) highest grossing anime film ever made. Sure, the animation is outstanding for an anime film, but the entire first half is incredibly dull, formulaic, & confusingly edited. It's not until the film introduces a twist that brings a ticking clock of sorts into play that the movie finally locks into a storyline & succeeds. The second half is just a completely different movie, and to explain why would heavily involve spoilers.
I think the biggest weakness of the film, though, is that I just don't buy the romance. The story is framed around these 2 characters who never meet until very late falling in love, but the movie's in such a hurry to convey the "wackiness" of the body-swapping mechanic that I don't feel like there's ever a scene where they actually bond in their weird, asymmetric way.
Overall, a good film, but I really draw the line at calling it a "great" one. It's just so incredibly sloppy & unfocused.
