Damn guys watch maquia
KOE NO KATACHI next? maybe?
You guys should watch "A silent voice." Next it's so good. It's on Netflix.
Because of the fire that burned all the books the shrine people don't have the information that the comet probably will separate the next time, so for the last 1200 years that family has been having this dreams into the future to warn them, but nobody before Mitsuha/Taki actually got to solve the mystery and save the town. Imo is an analogy, like we (all humans) "forget" why did we incarnated here and now, our soul's purpose, so we don't grow (in a karmic sense) and keep repeating the same mistakes life after life, generation after generation.
@@fearziel8622 I second maquia
Eric: "I guess they're all alive good for them😡!"
I was dying LMAO😂😂🤣🤣😭😭💀
i died at
„And then they died, another comet hits“
and „it’s a train crash or something“ xD
Y'all don't know the true feeling of "dying" unless you know and watched the previous works of the story creator(Makoto Shinkai) BEFORE watching this movie... the amount of ptsd during 23:45 and 24:54 *JEEEZUZ!*
Joshua Nicolas you Talking about 5cm per Second ? I know that xD
I couldn't stop laughing.
me too😂 HAHAHAHAHHAA
The "dreams" (body swapping) was some sort of magical spell that got cast upon their bloodline after they did the cuchikamisake ritual for thousands of years, as a way of being able to protect the people of Itomori if another comet hit (because in the story, 1200 years ago the first comet hit Itomori, and that's what created the lake in the middle). The body-swapping to another person in the future acted as a way to warn the incoming danger and evacuate Itomori in case another comet hit. In fact, I think it was a fragment of the exact same comet, because the comet has a cycle of 1200 years and the first comet had hit 1200 years ago. :)
Ooooh amazing
Bro, thanks for this!! I was trying to wrap my head around the plot in a single siiting and this helped!
I think there was another 1200 comet as well before the previous. One for the lake, one for the mountain crater, and the current one that lands next to the lake.
That comet *really* hates that part of Japan in particular, apparently.
@@kenjutsukata1o1Comet also looking for a part of him that had separated 1200 years ago.
Then that year he has back to Itomori same as Taki went to Itomori for looking for Mitsuha（she already be a part of Taki）
That this movie has 2 time-jump love story, Taki and Mitsuha, the comet 1200 years ago and the comet Taki and Mitsuha saw.
Eric being so invested is my favorite thing
Opens her hand, and it was written: "I love you" Not Taki's name
@@ogshell3958 most versions of the dub have the subtitle saying the words, but I guess not this one
@@ogshell3958 Another "Sub is better than dub!" comment. 🤦
@@princessscarlet2219 Well... It's not a lie.
@@DannyHsn JP Dub? Sub is just a JP Dub with subtitles...
@@Chrisfragger1 JP Dub has no subtitles it's what makes it perfect and you have the best immersion unlike subtitles where for example a big reveal is going to happen but you've already read the subtitles so you can't fully be in the moment which is trash
"I dunno what you think a romantic comedy is Rick"
"I didn't say comedy"
"You said Ryan Reynolds was in it"
I love you guys 😂😂😂😂
Yes lol
So there's a manga that was written to supplement this movie and the main story.
The real reason that Mitsuha's father finally agreed to evacuate the town was because of one reason, he saw his late wife Futaba in his own daughter.
The manga of Your Name: Another Tale Earthbound, shares the backstory of when he first met and married Mitsuha's mother. He originally came to Itomori to study the town's history and culture. And he gave up everything from his life to stay in Itomori, marry Futaba, and become part of the town as a shrine priest as the movie states. Futaba performed the same dance that we see Mitsuha and Yotsuha perform at the beginning of this movie. And at this point, after he spent enough time with her, Futaba confessed that for mysterious reasons, she knew that when she first laid eyes on him, something was telling her that she would marry him, no question about it. After they were married and they started their family, Futaba actually described the story about how the lake was formed and that a long time ago, a fragment of the comet caused the crater to form, and then the lake was filled in over the years. She actually saw, in her dreams, that the comet was going to strike again and that all the women in her family line had witnessed this particular dream but had no idea of the impending doom.
So, when Mitsuha finally returned and tried to ask one last time to evacuate the town, her father saw the spitting image of Futaba, his late wife. Ultimately, all the memories of why he stayed in Itomori came flooding back at that moment. It was because of his family that he tried to work so hard. As fate would have it, he was the head of the town and able to get everyone to evacuate. Not only did Mitsuha help save the citizens of Itomori with Taki's help, but this implies that Futaba also could rest easy as her role as one of the shrine maidens of her family was fulfilled as well.
Thank you for the back story
Oh wait this makes me sad even moreeee
This answers my questions all these years thanks
Mitsuha opens her hand* :no subtitle:
I've felt like they've missed out a lot on that.
What was his name...? (Looks hand) Ah, Sukida-kun!
Yeah, I was disappointed on the people who made this English dub, they should atleast kept the translations for those scenes. It's even one of the best scene in the movie:
*Mitsuha opens her hand, sees the word "I love You"*
FFS I KNOW RIGHT?!? Thank God when it came out in my language they had the decency to write the translation below in that scene and i started ugly crying in my seat FFS...
According to another answer from them bellow: "We did have the subtitle of the "I love you" moment. It's just not in the refrence screen you are seeing in the reaction"
When I saw that scene in the movies I was legit balling. Sad that whoever translated this took it out :/
Loved Eric's tsundere moment at 24:02. ;P
"I guess they're all alive ... baka"
Now when Weathering With You comes out digitally, they're gonna cry again. Lol
The Lazy Gamer facts and I be seeing u everywhere lol
I've been waiting for Weathering With you to come out for months 😭 I just wanna see it
It's out in my country
@@Syafiqizy no way, you can buy it digitally? What country is this lol
Its digitally released!!
1:44 rick not even 1 second in: "thats beautiful"

i know rick, i know 😭😭😭
*Eric ^^
@@animusswtor4822 A Ric
This is the only movie that i watched where everybody was clapping at the end of the movie in the cinema, it was really amazing
I will forever regret not knowing of this movie and seeing it back when it was in theatres.
@@toqkaizogou1636 Same I saw it spring of 2017. But I didn't make that same mistake for Weathering with you. Saw that with two friends and we were the only ones in the theater.
Julian R Same, we booked our tickets the moment we could due to missing out on YourName. Me and 3 other friends cried so much during the film and we all let out a FAT sigh at the end and all agreed on our mate saying “thank fuck we saw this together”. To this day we’re making sure we never miss an anime film coming to theatres
Your Name didn't get to come to my theaters but Weathering With You did and I was so excited and went to watch it with friends. The whole room loudly gasped (myself included) when we saw Taki and Mitsuha in the movie and it made me sob a bit 😅 And at the end everyone was clapping and cheering! Definitely a great experience to watch an anime film on the big screen with lots of people that appreciate the film just the same! 🥰
Somemiss out out on infinity war and endgame
Eric going "find her! find her!" was literally me towards the ending too
I know this is a different take but you know i really wished it was a tragic story like i know it sounds harsh but it would have been even more effective emotionally...just like hitting you with an hammer. Maybe show them just sitting beside each other on train and then snap black out and end the movie.
I did NOT expect this, hell yeah, one of my favorite anime movies
Funny thing is: I went into this with the mindset „everyone always says you’re gonna cry watching this so prove them wrong and don’t“ - I held up pretty well, then the last scene came and I started bawling at literally the last line proving everyone right in the end ^^
Honestly, I never saw the point of doing this. I WANT to cry while watching a movie. And to laugh. And to get angry. And to be afraid. Because that's what movies are around, they are all about emotions.
swanpride don’t get me wrong, I still experienced all the emotions of the movie , I laughed at the boob stuff like Bw did here, I got sad at the „I love you“ scene but I just didn’t cry, and still don’t cry at anything in the movie other than the ending ^^
@@animusswtor4822
This was honestly the last movie I expected to see them react to. XD
Don't get me wrong, I thought Your Name was a great movie, but I feel it was a bit to ambitious in what it was trying to set up. It had some really intriguing ideas and themes (such as the ribbon of fate, shrine gods, Mitsuha's family, etc) but it focused so much on just establishing the setting and the character's lifestyle that it leaves little room for not just the relationships between the main cast and the side characters for us to grow connected but also the chemistry between Mitsuha and Taki. Especially since we don't see Taki's problems with his own life that we do with Mitsuha in the beginning so it comes off as one-sided.
That being said, I've always loved watching romances involving two people coming to an understanding of each other and forming something meaningful and seeing this executed in such a competent manner compared to most anime is so gratifying that I didn't think about my problems with it.
Overall, it was a fun, heartwarming movie of "boy meets girl" but if it were a properly fleshed-out 12 episode anime, it would've been in my top 10.
Weathering With You on the other hand...HOLY MOTHER OF SUNSHINE GIRL. Not did it fix the problems I had with Your Name, but it subverted my expectations on the ending and gave one of THE MOST profoundly powerful message that resonated with me on a such a relatable level that it got me worked up when I left the cinema. I'll gush more about it when they react to it in August but suffice to say, THAT was a masterpiece.
Lan well haven’t watched that one yet honestly but I’m hearing only good things so far and definitely do plan on watching it ,
And I kinda get you on the points you make but I just love it so much and it’s basically my opener for the top 10 at the number 10 spot, though an anime series version would be amazing too ^^
Also in terms of romance anime with the characteristics you described I’d say there’s no better one than „Sakurasou no pet na kanojo“ for that, just amazing from start to finish and a really really great message , but I feel like such a romance lover like you has probably already watched it,
Also i think I see you in almost every of my recent comments on BWs anime videos man^^
I'm just a bit tilted that there was no captions on their screen showing that Taki wrote "I Love You" instead of his own name on her hand.
Apparently they said in another comment somewhere on here that their screen when watching had a caption it's just that the reference scene in the reaction vid doesn't have it.
@@hierophantpurple5163 Oh, good!
@@GrimmBones Yeah, until I saw someone mention that comment I was like damn they missed a big moment since there didn't seem to be captions.
I am a bit tilted that they watch it dubbed.
@@Zimzky91 Why? I mean, granted, some jokes land better in the Sub, like the moment when Mitsuha had to use the proper male noun, and such.
But other than that, the Dub did a pretty good job.
If you guys watched Silent Voice, I'm sure you would be crying most of the time 😂
Eric will for sure. Multiple times. :D
I think they'll really hate that one girl...ya'll know who I'm talking about
@@reddieweeb oh yeah def
YES
silent voice is cool, but Anohana is way better. That movie can put any grown man to tears
This film is really good, glad you guys enjoyed it, a reaction to A Silent Voice would be really appreciated
Hey
Yo
Ikr
Yyyyy you be here
Why are u everywhere
I don't think I've seen Eric legitimately frustrated more than at 24:02 xD
That's what this movie does to us all lol.
Now we gotta get them to watch A Silent Voice to see what their truly pissed off face looks like.
🤣🤣🤣
tbh, me and my family felt exactly the same when we first watched it. We thought "aw come on, don't tell me this shit is going to end like this", and surprisingly it didn't. But goddamn, this movie makes you think it's going to end quite a few times before it actually ends.
@@danielbueno8474 I don’t really see how people are saying they are crying and all that. This movie was making me so frustrated!!!
@@trollscream8607 how bro
Eric's frustration this entire film was my whole mood 😂😭
I guess I underestimated the effect this movie had on me. Just watching these highlights made me cry all over again. Multiple times.
btw at the beginning when Mitsuha is in Taki's body and talking to his friends at school and starts saying "a girl.." and then says guys just want to have fun, in japanese it makes more sense because Mitsuha says "watashi" which is a very formal way of saying "I", and not something Taki would say around his friends, when it is used in a casual setting it is seen as more feminine as well. she then switches to "ore" (pronounced sorta like "o-rey") which is a much more informal and masculine "I". Also when the grandma says things are "unions", the Japanese word she uses is "musubi" which can be translated as a bond as in a knot in a string or bond in a relationship, the word also has origins in the shinto creation myth relating to the power of creation. There's also folklore about the "Red Thread of Fate", which actually goes back to Chinese mythology, and it's typically thought of as an invisible red thread around the fingers, usually the pinky, of people that are destined to meet. "The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate or a destined partner."
ha funny. in the German dub they stayed with the term "musubi" und just added the explanation to that word
@@Cera3 that's better for keeping the right contest
Next let's have them watch Grave of the Fireflies. I want to see them bawl their eyes out.
I think Rick already did
Yamero!!!
You monster!
Pls don’t make them watch that. It broke me as a child 😂😂😂😂 I don’t think I can ever watch it again. But maybe it might be better for them tho🤷🏾♀️
I think they wouldn't make it through the movie. I love the movie tho
I’m sorry if this was late but to answer one of you guys’ questions about the whole forgetting and erasing data thing; I don’t know if it was mentioned in the dub but it’s mentioned in the movie that to enter/leave the shrine, you need to offer the most important thing to you. For Taki and Mitsuha, it was their memories of each other. That was the price they paid for a second chance.
The end reminds me of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind in that 2 people who have forgotten each other but are still driven to search. They are destined to be together. The relationships are totally different - Eternal is destructive whereas in Your Name they make each other better.
Morrolan I Love that Movie, shows Jim Carrey is capable of great emotional acting beyond all the comedy stuff he did ^^
“Your name is?”
A simple word that brings tears to our eyes. I think it's definitely one of the best stories.
Rick : „we’re leaving the realm of the weird“
The movie: haha you thought , didn’t ya
If they did that they'd be leaving Japan lmao.
I'm not good at speaking I'm sorry if English is strange.
I love this movie so I'm glad to see you all as a Japanese.
Thank you very mach.
Please continue to watch Japanese animation etc.
Thanks. Its one my favourite films of all time.
There's a huge force attacking every country in the world that's deconstructing every language and along with it, the average person's view of the world. Japanese language should be preserved at all costs.
Eric and Rick cried and that's all I wanted
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! There’s so much background stuff that’s super clever but not really focused on in the movie and you only REALLY think about it after multiple viewings, for example:
(Spoilers)
The different timeline twist is cleverly revealed pretty much from the start; the dates in their phone diaries. It’s the same dates (ie 9/12) but on different days of the week, as they’re offset by a few years.
The grandma says that you have to leave a part of you behind whenever you leave the underworld/spirit world, that’s why they bring the sake to the shrine. When Mitsuha and Taki revisit it, their memories of each other are left behind, that’s why they so quickly forget each other.
The comet visits every 1200 years, and splits every time. The shrine where they leave the sake is located in one of the impact craters, and the town of Itomori was also formed around one of the impact craters.
I’m sure there’s more, but this is the stuff that I remember most. Such a good movie!!!!
That smile on Erics face at the end was my reaction to this movie. I had to show it to someone so I bought the Blue Ray right away. Ive watched it a couple of times ever since, and its always pretty good.
You guys will probably be happy to know the director confirmed Taki and Misuha did in fact go on to get married
YESSSS
God I'm not ready to cry again, at least it was funny that me, Rick and Eric all made the same joke about the next episode starting.
"Weathering with you" actually has cameos of Mitsuha, her sister and Taki cause both movies occur in the same universe
Now we need A silent voice and weather with you! Let's get on the train !!!
Also the Garden of Words.
Same here! We might have to wait a while for Weathering With You since it's not out on streaming yet in the US.
22:17 you didn’t have subtitles? It wasn’t his name, he wrote “I love you” this is one of the most emotional moment of the movie 😭😭😭
Right ?
I don’t know , judging from Eric’s long sigh and ricks reaction I think they had subtitles and just edited them out or sth or they weren’t in frame for the reaction
i think the movie that they watched has subtitles on judging by their reactions to the diary/notebook sequences, but the copy of the movie that the editor used doesnt have one
They usually don't show the subtitles to us, but they do have them for themselves. I've noticed it in a couple of anime they've reacted to.
They have the subtittles on, but on the edited video for us its not. Its the usual stuff from them.
Would love to see wolf children and a silent voice on the poll and sword of the stranger
Hell yes! Love Wolf Children abd A Silent Voice.
@@toqkaizogou1636 and sword of the stranger !
Also Grave of the Fireflies, Princess Mononoke, Jin-Roh : Wolf Brigade, Vampire Hunter D and Bloodlust, Paprika, Porco Rosso and Only Yesterday deserve reactions!
Blindwave: watches Your Name
Most of the comments: watch A Silent Voice cowards
Lets talk about the movie they are watching everyone. Your Name is a beautiful, gorgeous, fantastic and wholesome movie. I also recommend people to rewatch the movie because it has some subtle hints on what is going on. The movie also has quite a bit of symbolism as well.
I'm a sucker for these kind of movies but I always get too emotional and afraid to rewatch them, that said when I watched it I was expecting a sadder end so knowing it isn't I'd definitely be down to watch it again. Otherwise I agree, it's a very condense story which most beautiful ones are, it has a lot of meaning with so little time it gives you, but it's worth so much more.
Meh I don’t really like Your Name. The main characters felt like pieces of cardboard and the side characters felt like they didn’t even exist. The plot was boring and uninteresting. The actual love story didn’t make any sense at all seeing as the two of them had never met each other and only knew each other via the perspectives of other people on that person.
@@isaacwilcox3010 Yeah I didn't feel that way at all. I found the plot to be very engaging and kept me on wondering what was gonna happen next. I wouldn't say it was a love story, at least to me it didn't feel that way. It was more like two people getting to know each other from a unique perspective. I love the main characters, along with the side characters. The emotional journey and impact it had on me is why I love the movie so much.
Robert Tate You just expressed one of my main problems with the film. It tries to act like it’s a romance film when it would work much better as a friendship film. However even if you didn’t feel like the movie was trying to be a romance film that doesn’t change the fact the film is meant to be a romance. It was intended to be a romance film and that’s very obvious when Taki literally writes “I love you” on her hand. That’s the exact problem, the film tries to act like the characters are having a romance when in reality they are really just gaining an appreciation for each other and their lives. The film shouldn’t have gone with the romance plot because it fails at it.
@@isaacwilcox3010 So I see where you're coming from, but I don't have an issue with it. It has elements of romance, but at the same time being a bit different. Taki writing "I love you" is just how he felt at that moment when he wrote it on her hand. It's because of the emotional journey these characters went through. They learned more about each other after every switch. Also, I don't think the film has a full-blown romance plot. I do not think the movie is trying to be your typical romance movie. It's romance but with a unique take on it.
Man if they hated the trains the they’ll curse 5 cm/s if they ever watch it
I think that movie is actually not that great, I enjoyed most of it , but the main character was kinda pathetic being hung up on a girl who he has like a few dates with for so long and I didn’t feel for him in the end, still really really enjoyable movie and I’d recommend it to anyone who’d ask ^^
@@animusswtor4822 i mean lots of man are pathetic, tbf. Not all man can really embrace their feeling.
Wahid Ahmad True enough i guess ^^
Personally i liked it, the movie shows that not all happy endings end with a happy ever after. I dunno that just me
@@animusswtor4822 That's not the point of the movie. The point of the movie is to showcase how regret and unresolved issues in your childhood can deeply affect your adult life and on how distance can affect our lives.
Takaki wasn't really "hung up" on the girl, he was hung up in the idea of failing to connect with people, exemplified by the fact that he had a serious relationship but in the end couldn't connect with her or let go of his childhood traumas/experiences. It is a very touching, subtle and symbolic movie, and obviously not made for mainstream audiences at all.
11:17
“If it hits you in that face that’d be terrible right?”
“In the face? Yeah, anywhere yeah.... if it hits yeah”
24:00 Eric had me dying 🤣. Great reaction from all of you.
Eric's forigner's laugh is the best thing that happen today for me, apparently.
Really great reaction guys. I'm glad you all watched Your Name because it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
I would love to see Redline on the poll!
7:10 i love the close up they made knowing now that they were in fact traveling through time 😂
I loved you reaction! Please react to A Silent Voice, it came out the same year but it got overshadowed a bit by Your Name. I actually prefer the story of A Silent Voice as it's more grounded but the animation is better in Your Name. I love Your Name as a film but the story of A Silent Voice was slightly better for me personally.
@@trxps2829 you're absolutely correct on the character animation being better in A Silent Voice, I was thinking about the environment mostly, being more eye pleasing in Your Name. Yeah, the Kyoto Animation arson attack was really shocking and horrific. I really hope they recover and back to their former glory quickly 🙏
Both movies are great no doubt. I think for me though, I prefer Your Name because of how much I felt after watching it the first time. The biggest thing for me is the characters. While Silent Voice has a much more mature story, I didn't really enjoy most of the characters. I know we're not suppose to like a couple of the characters, but I heard the manga does a better job developing the characters by making them more sympathetic. I feel that by the end of the movie, none of the characters really developed or changed except for the two main ones. Still a great movie, but I think the way how the characters were written felt rushed.
I love both equally but I think they’re kinda hard to compare, a silent voice is a very realistic drama while your name is fantasy romNce drama and they’re very very different from each lther
idk about you people but A Silent Voice hit me a bit differently than Your Name.
Qurtur same
To repeat what others have said: Next up, A Silent Voice please.
Oh and Wolf Children would be pretty sweet too.
X2
YES. WOLF CHILDREN.
While we’re on the subject of movies about time travel and movies directed by Mamoru Hosoda, they should react to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time first, then Summer Wars (my personal favorite of Hosoda’s), and then Wolf Children. And then every Hosoda film after that.
Also Jin-Roh : Wolf Brigade, Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika, Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Hunter D : Bloodlust all deserve reactions!
OMG BLIND WAVE IS REACTING TO MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME OMG OMG OMG 😭😭😭
2:35 8:18 8:58 16:00 you’re welcome, their reactions to each different of the same scene is hilarious
"FIND HER. FIND HEER. RUN ON THE STREET MAN"
OMG HAHAHAHAHAH
idk but when Mitsuha saw that "I love you" in her hand, that moment got me in tears
a really beautiful description of this movie I've heard once was that,
everything in the middle, besides the first five minutes and the last five minutes
are just there to attempt and describe the feeling of meeting someone that you feel like you have a connection with
even if you don't remember ever having met them
yup the shrine crater and the lake were two previous impact sites of tiamat fragments, that crashed 2400 and 1200 years ago. by the time senku wakes up, there gonna be 3 more craters….
Bruh HAHAHAHAHAHA
as everyone here saying, you guys NEED TO WATCH SILENT VOICE!
I love the stress ya'll went through, lol. Eric all angry and huffy when he thought they weren't gonna remember. "I guess they survived, good for them" It was such a mood.
Ironically this was one of your funniest reactions to date, I love all the jokes xD
Guess they’re all alive good for them
And then they died, another comet hits ^^
Edit : the foreign laugh was amazing xDD
'they're hearing the yells through time'. Good observation there Calvin. Spot on. This is why i love the blindwave crew. Always so astute with reactions
Glad you guys watched this it'll be my favorite movie forever
I can still remember watching this in the theater, my wife forced me to watch it with her and I'm not expecting anything. I thought it's just going to be a typical body swap romance then that fucking twist that mitsuha is dead happened, then I found myself holding my tears and trying not to sniff so that my wife won't know I'm crying.
definitely should watch “a silent voice” or “grave of the fireflies”
Also they should watch Jin-Roh : Wolf Brigade, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D : Bloodlust, Porco Rosso, Princess Mononoke, Paprika, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers and Ninja Scroll.
Omg yes. Grave of the Fireflies killed me
Grave of the Fireflies - An uplifting Romantic Comedy.
@@SSS-ie6mh Hahahah you madman XD
a silent voice a good drama, and GOTF is an anime that i will never rewatch it again😥
So unexpected to see this. Nice change of pace. Eric's reaction near the end was hilarious. You were all so invested.
The fact that Eric said time travel early on was just beautiful xD
The comet comes every 1200yrs and it was shown when Taki was in the cave that there was an old cave drawing on the ceiling of the comet. So I think they’re trying to say that this lineage of shrine priestess’ have this gift to attempt to escape the comet’s damage. I also really love how they portray forgetting each other, exactly like a dream. You remember the dream while you’re first waking but it slips away no matter how hard you try to hold on..
Eric loves love, lol. His reaction reminds me of my friends reaction when I showed her this film, being both frustrated and crying throughout the 3rd half of this film.
21:35
"This ship better work out" 😂
The ending of Your Name is more impactful if you watched Shinkai's previous work. You don't expect them to be together because it was the first time he allowed that.
I am so happy that you reacted to this movie, "Your Name" is my favorite movie of all time.
Really good anime movie. It's more than a teenage romance, it's a beautiful account of an haunting sense of loss as one grows up from their childhood years.
To clarify the hand issue (34:30), the reason Taki wrote that on her hand, is because he learned earlier in the movie that in order to travel between the netherworld, he had to "leave behind what is most important to (him)", and realized that for both of them being 'the union' that would be 'your name'.
someday Weathering with you shall be next, hopefully they read this........ dammit only mods read the comment section
Lol yeah I want weathering with you
Weathering with you is in the same universe which is quite cool. I also prefer it over Your Name
@@DeskIsUndead Although the plot of Weathering With You is a bit weaker than Your Name's, the characters are very charming and made me like it more than Your Name
This was such a good movie! I love Eric's whole "Credits! End the movie! Yeah!"
This movie is a masterpiece. The story is good, animation is beautiful, great soundtrack and such a emotional movie.
The part where she checks her hand, and instead of putting his name he put "I love you" I cry every single time! This movie is awesome.
me waiting for the opening: "YES YES YES YES"
me hearing the dubbed opening: "NO NO NO NO"
I think the English dub opening is still sang by the same Japanese band (Radwimps) though? Because Radwimps does produce their own English versions of the songs.
Let’s be real, almost all anime is cringey in the dubbed versions, original is the only way for me to watch them
@@Vault97 i mean, why there are no sub for the word, its not like everybody can read japanese word
@@Vault97 That's your opinion, a lot of shows have awesome dubs, some even better than the original
@@nathanvangeel3122 well AOT English dub did a pretty good job, especially Levi English voice actor
I don't know if you guys will read this... but the Miyamizu shrine's deity, "Musubi", was actually who was wiping their memories, and deleting the logs from Taki's phone.
I'm sure you guys have found out by now, but Taki wrote "sukida", or "I love you", on Mitsuha's hand, and it was, in part, that action that tied their fates together beyond what Musubi (time) could overcome. He can't eliminate feelings, only data. It's why Taki and Mitsuha wake up every morning longing for something... or someone.
Fun fact: When Mitsuha went to write her name on Taki's right hand... she started with a horizontal line, from left to right. That is not the first stroke for how you write "mi", but it is the first stroke for "su", as in "sukida". Just that line was the other part that sealed their feelings being able to stick around after Musubi's shenanigans.
Your Name is one of my favorite anime movies. I just love the imagery, the story, the characters. It's just a masterpiece!!
At the end when they pass each other on the stairs all I could think was: After this emotional trainwreck of a movie if it ends with them not acknowledging each other I'm flipping my entire room. I'm glad I didn't have to clean up. :)
I love this reaction!!! All of your reactions were amazing!
Also in case you were curious about Mitsuha’s ribbon, it’s design actually represents the comet and the lake, and its red color is also because it represents the red string of fate, the invisible strings that connect soulmates to each other.
If you ever rewatch the movie you’ll realize all of the hidden hints that Mitsuha was in the past, such as the museum date, the drawing that Taki was staring at was one that he drew, and it was a memorial exhibition
11:15 "Catch Calcifer" Nice Howl's Moving Castle reference from Rick there!
it's okay guys. 23:42 it's okay to cry lol i did. great reactions. hope you guys liked it.
Here's some tidbits you might have missed:
-First. You remember the beginning (and the end too) where they talk about having a dream as if something's missing as they get ready for work? Notice how after they wipe their tears they stop to look at their hands... It's the same hand they tried to write each other's name on.
-Second,In China and Japan there is an idea of an invisible red string connecting two destined lovers. Hence symbology of the string. There are other colors on the ribbon that represent other things too. The center white diagonal stripe symbolizing the comet, the blue around it for the lake(s), etc.
-There's also this big thing about how the god their family worship is actually a fraction of the comet that's given their family powers to save the village. That's how they have the dance and the tradition to honor their god. The comet actually came at least twice before. To make the lake and the god's underworld shrine. Both times also created craters. So the god gave the family there power to save it's people.
-And the BIG Whopper. Mitsuha wasn't going to write her name on Taki's hand. Mitsuha starts to write using a left to right stroke. The kanji would take too long to write and could be read as many ways, so it's not likely she'd write it like that. The hiragana does start in a left to right stroke, but we do see her write her name on Taki's hand in the beginning and she combines the left-right stroke and the 2nd downward stroke together to do a curved stoke. So she wasn't going to write her name. Instead, Instead the theory is she was planning on writing 'Suki da'. Which is written like this: すきだ ("sukida"). And while you probably don't recognize it, it was actually in the movie (See it in your reaction at 22:16 ). And yeah, the director, Shinkai Makoto, admitted that Mitsuha would've revealed her feelings rather than write her name down.
I was ironically listening to a song from this movie. When this popped up in my feed.
My local theater decided to give Your Name a limited showing and me and my sister were 2 of 4 people in the entire theater. The best moment was in the Epilogue when they walked past each other on the bridge all 4 of us suddenly reacted loudly at the same time. Going forward none of us cared about "Theater Etiquette" and we reacted pretty much identically to Eric. One of the Best Experiences I've had in a Movie Theater
I'm so glad, you reacted to this movie.
I watched it with zero expectations because my girlfriend wanted to see it and it got me extremely emotional. :)
Glad you liked it as well and watched it. :D
Well, if anybody is interested, the lake city from this movie is most likely based on Lake Suwa, a lake in the Kiso Mountains, in the central region of Nagano Prefecture, Japan. ;-)
A Silent Voice should be next.
No Ryan Reynolds were harmed in this reaction.
You might try The Girl Who Leaped Through Time, for a similar vibe, but very much its own thing
Somebody please put "Your Lie in April" in their poll please!
Im poor and cant afford patreon
*sobs
how did u get here?
And then... I just told a single lie
A Silent Voice next.
Please for the love of all that is holy.
I watched this movie in theater 6 times when it comes out. Each with different friends and family, and they all love this movie.
I love how much Eric got into this, haha
To anyone who watched the dub, did they reveal that he wrote "I love you" on her hand? Was kinda hoping to see them react to that.
We did have the subtitle of the "I love you" moment. It's just not in the refrence screen you are seeing in the reaction
All I know is if Eric reacts to A silent voice the movie, he will cry.
I just had the most “OOOOOHHHHH” moment when Calvin said, “It’s the family that takes care of the shrine” as to why Mitsuha and her mom and grandma has the same thing happen to them.
A SILENT VOICE that is all i'm going to say
Weathering with you would be a good next thing to watch! :o
Damn I wished they watched weathering with you, its connected to this and they even show you the those two
they were the caretakers of musubi's shrine where in the dub they just say union, in the sub is musubi who is their god. You guys need to rewatch this with subs. They kept having the dreams all the women in the family because this was a warning of what was going to happened but they never figure it out.
Heroes rising digital version: *releases*
Blind Wave: here's Your Name
As far as I know dub isn’t out yet, and your name is just way better anyway so ^^
I don't remember exactly which reaction it was, (probably the season finale) but they said they won't react to Heroes Rising until season 5 is out.
This, and A Silent Voice, were both amazing films that need more attention than they're getting. Both are praised in the anime culture, but they really need to branch out.
I saw this one second, and while I think A Silent Voice has a better story, this one is just absolutely beautiful & done masterfully. I always recommend it to people looking for something new.
Can you explain what you liked about A Silent Voice? When I watched it, I was completely uninterested in the story and was generally annoyed at the characters.
@@mavoc3094 a silent voice is a total waste of time, i wud prefer to watch othr shinkai movies again ...
Mavoc I had the opposite experience. When I watched Your Name the characters felt like they didn’t even exist. I can’t remember a single side character from Your Name but i can remember every side character from A Silent Voice. The story of A Silent Voice was original, thought provoking, and very emotional. On the other side the story of Your Name was basic, unoriginal, boring, and made no sense.
@@isaacwilcox3010 just swap the boring, made no sense part with very emotional, nd i 100% agree with u....your name is anything but boring/non emotional u liar
@@mavoc3094 Because that shit is real. I've experienced that level of bullying in middle school, completely unaware until years later when it clicked that it was going on. Not deaf or anything like that, but just a naive little kid that was oblivious to it due to my upbringing.
Not saying Your Name. is trash cause it "isn't real", but A Silent Voice hit harder for me than ever. I very rarely get emotional when it comes to tv/movie media, anime included, so having a movie that made me ball my brains out like, 30 minutes into the film? Thats why I thought its far superior.
Great reaction guys! I love this movie so much that it has become my favorite anime movie of all time.
Most people in the comments have already mentioned it, but do check out A Silent Voice. With that being said, I wish people would stop comparing Your Name and A Silent Voice. I know both movies came out around the same time, and Silent Voice got overshadowed by Your Name, but there is no need for people to compare them or say one is better than the other. They are two completely different movies and both of them are amazing. I do prefer Your Name, but that doesn't mean I didn't like A Silent Voice. I honestly think these are two of the best anime movies of all time.
So yeah, I hope we can all enjoy both movies and appreciate what they brought to anime and filmmaking.
i also prefer it. just feel like the silent voice movie is not the same level as the manga. But i respect it still
