Kimi No Nawa, A Japanese Anime Movie Review

How do you react when you found out that you awaken from a dream that you found your body inside a different gender? Like if you are a woman, you find it in a man’s body? What would be your reaction? I am fond of watching movies that have switching bodies. I am interested to know how the actors will act if they need to portray a different gender. It gives me some kind of thrill that never leaves me hanging.

 
I learned Kimi No Nawa from a friend online. Kimi No Nawa, when translated into English, means Your Name Is. It is a Japanese romantic comedy fantasy film. It starts when Mitsuha, a girl from the province found herself in the body of Taki. Taki is a young boy who leaves in Tokyo. A student in Architecture and doing school while having a part time job. Both dream of switching their body but it is not only a dream anymore because it is true. This happens on a regular basis and they started to learn to live the life of each other. They even begin to leave a bond that gives them the courage to know each other. Love grows from each other that they even made impossible, possible.

 
This film is the fourth highest grossing film in Japan. It was shown in 2016 and everyone is talking about this film since then. I got to know this late but what the heck, I just watched it and I enjoyed it.

 
What I like about this film is they make me believe in the impossible. I am not a fan of Manga/Anime series but this film pushes me to know some other great movies of the same kind. It makes me feel the love both the characters is feeling. I was reading the subtitles all the time yet it never loses me in absorbing the real objective of the film. The objective is of course, for you to fall in love with the characters.

 
It is a mixture of love, comedy, drama and thrill. I cannot take some scene much more when I found out that there is someone dying in the film. I will not spoil it, it is better for you to find out. What is fresh in my mind are some of the parts in the film where Mitsuha had an effort to look for Taki in Tokyo. I think Mitsuha was the first one who fell in love in the story. Taki, gradually felt it that is why he did everything just to save Mitsuha.

 
If you are fond of Anime/Manga series or you just like Japanese movies, I recommend this one. Kids of 14 and above could watch it too. I guess even 9 years old. There is a scene that Taki, inside the body of Mitsuha, was touching Mitsuha’s boobs but it is part of the scene. It is just to let you know that Taki is inside her body. You will enjoy this film. You will realize how powerful love is. I really fall in love in both of the characters. Watch it find out what I am talking about.
