Hey guys! What's your favourite animated film? I have way too many to list. Also... watch Your Name if you haven't yet x
Spirited Away
A Silent Voice destroyed me!
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. My absolute favorite animated movie and the definitive Batman story
Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Today, im going with Isao Takahata's masterpiece 'Grave of the Fireflies'.
If you got any tears left 🙂
Your Name is one of the most unique and beautiful films ever made. Everything from the animation to the characters to the soundtrack is just perfect. The ending gets me every time.
unique?
@@chand911 Do you know a lot of other body swap natural disaster movies? Especially body swaps across time?
there is a ton of body swap movies out there, and the time thing is also used too, this just combines them @@FullMetalB
@@FullMetalBnot in that exact composition but the movie still employs some sci Fi cliche and a lot of romance cliche you normally read in light novels
Till now no movie can beat Your Name. It’s always my no1. ❤🎉
I think them not sharing about themselves makes their love even more compelling. They fell in love with knowing the person in the most intimate way. Not by sharing things about their lives but experiencing their lives firsthand. They get to know the genuine relationships and hardships the other lives with. Learning each other's personality through how people interact with them. Love it
My boyfriend of about two years just showed me this movie for the first time about a week ago. He was so giddy and excited to show it to me! 🥰 Him and I cried together as we watched it… this movie is beautiful in every possible way.
I knew he was amazing before, but now.. I think I’ve found the one 😍
Aww.... Thats so sweet❤
The message he wrote on her hand was the only thing that wasn't erased because traditionally, the moon god protects expressions of love.
Your Name is definitely one of my top fav anime movies! I agree that the art style in visuals are gorgeous! The story is so beautifully bittersweet🥹
'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)' is a great film.
I saw that film years ago, and saw 'Your Name' only last year. Similar themes but still holds up on it's own. 💖🌌
The way this movie never fails to make me sob. It’s just so beautiful! 😭😭😭😭😭
You gotta have a heart of stone to not get emotional by the end of this movie. So good.
I _have_ a heart of stone, and even I weep at this movie.
I love watching Your Name reactions. There's a sweet innocence in the beginning, a few laughs, then you watch and sometimes you can see the specific part when their heart breaks. Usually at I Love You...
I'm glad you got to this movie. The director is Makoto Shinkai and frankly any of his stuff is great. He's done a few - "Voices of a Distant Star", "The Place Promised In Our Early Days", "5cm per second", "Garden of Words", "The Children Who Chase Lost Voices" (also known as "Journey To Agartha"), "Weathering with You", and they all come recommended. "Suzume" is his latest though it's so new I haven't seen it yet. Away from Makoto Shinkai's works other staple anime films I might recommend would be "Summer Wars", "The Girl Who Leapt Though Time" and "AKIRA", "Ghost In The Shell"..
I recommend Wolf Children personally.
@@Dummy257came to the replies to add the exact same thing.
「MAQUIA: WHEN THE PROMISED FLOWER BLOOMS」
The movie that time passes quickly and chances are few!
Seeing this reaction reminded me of watching the movie for the first time years ago and being shocked by all the twists and turns in it. It's such a special experience. The moment with the pen and Mitsuha opening her hand to see the "I love you" always gets me too lol. I can only hope you watch more anime movies in the future!
A Silent Voice is a MUST, even if you don’t do a reaction you need to watch it at some point! Love your channel by the way and glad to see you back!
I second this!!
oh god. I third this but you'll be needing another box of tissue or two
YESS
Yes. A silent voice 🖤🖤🖤 love it!! 🖤🖤🖤
Definitely. Also, get a box of tissues ready if you watch it. I'm not spoiling anything but it is definitely an emotional rollercoaster.
I’ve been to Japan several times over the years (my mother is from there), and during my most recent trip a few months ago I went on a little trip around Tokyo looking for the specific locations featured in the film. It was cold and wet and getting very dark towards the end, but it was absolutely worth it just to see these places in real life.
As you can probably gather I really really love this film, everything about it from the gorgeously detailed animation to the awe-inspiring soundtrack to the beautifully heartfelt story that balances out the goofy body-swap hijinks of the first half (kudos to the voice actors for both leads) with the more bittersweet and melancholic romance of the second. Absolute masterpiece all around.
If you really liked this one, I’d definitely recommend checking out the rest of Makoto Shinkai’s films, especially the ones he’s made afterwards, Weathering With You and Suzume. They’re definitely somewhat similar in terms of the story content and general vibe, but they feel different and unique enough to be well worth your while
This Movie get's me every time it is so beautifull the characters the animation even the songs everything is just amazing
This is my most favourite anime film ever made in the history of the world as you now know why!! It truly is a beautiful masterpiece of a film in every way literally!! Also the theme song at the end is famous too 🌎 ❤🎉🇯🇵
Such a great anime.
I strongly suggest you watch the two movies he made after Your Name: Weathering with You and Suzume.
The template is set (teenagers, love, magic involved), but they're different enough and they're their own thing to not feel like cheap copy paste.
Do watch all 3, they're just fantastic.
I’ll add them to my list ☺️
This is what I came here to say!
yesyesyes
I really wish weathering with you and suzume lived up. Makoto Shinkai is one of my all time favorites since I saw 5 centimeters per second and then your name just absolutely blew me away. That just didn't carry over with his recent 2.
@@FullMetalB
I saw all 4 and i respectfully disagree.
Maybe it's wrong to expect them to 'live up' to your name.
They're similar, yet completely different, especially Suzume, but I thought they were both great and i totally enjoyed them.
This movie is one of my favorites! It's so incredibly heartbreaking, but at the same time so hopeful. And your reaction did it justice!
I watch this movie every year on New Years day to start my year on a positive note. Adore this movie!❤
LOVE that you're back, Nix, and yeah this anime is so good and tear enducing. Also the teacher in the beginning talks about the twilight time and all that...
I recommend you to watch the anime "Oshi no ko".
If you watch the official music video of the opening theme song "Idol" after watching the first episode, you will understand why the music is composed like this, why the images are like this, and why the lyrics are like this, and you will be moved.
My fave ever animated film - gorgeous animation, story and score and Radwimps soundtrack - have some of it on my phone and I'm 40 and not a weeb in the slightest - its just awesome
Thank you 🙏🏽 you are the reason i found this anime I don’t know somehow i stumbled into your videos when i was sad remembering her and smoking 3 am in the morning . I saw you cry and i was looking for a reason to cry so i gave it a try thank you again
I'd recommend one of the director's earlier work. 5 Centimeters Per Second. This one is more realistic without any supernatural stuff, but it's still soo good.
Underrated work. Not a lot of people know about this film, let alone the fact that it was a manga adaptation, and the manga had a happier ending.
@@sbastianbrilyanto4722 I thought the manga was adapted from the film?
Your name is soooo good and makes me bawl every time😭 Animation and story are truly beautiful. Nici if you haven’t seen Howl’s moving castle that’s one of my favorites and I think you would love it ✌🏼💜
Both of these are my most favorite anime films!
But Howl is a Ghibli film....
Watching this film brought back memories of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. I was in Tokyo at the time and it wasn't until a few hours later that I found out about the devastating tsunami. There were news reports on TV for weeks afterwards.
Your reaction was so sweet it got me crying along with you even though I’ve seen it so many times. I've never seen anyone figure out the time difference early just from the name of that photography gallery he visits being "Nostalgia". That was a great catch!!
Some more non-ghlibi anime films I can think of with a similar tearjerk romance vibe are Wolf Children, A Silent Voice, Josee The Tiger & The Fish, Ride Your Wave (beware that ones really tearjerker), The Case of Hana & Alice (ok that ones more female friendship but I think its funny and the ending is great), Belle, In This Corner of the World, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
Some other non-ghibli ones I like just for the sake of recommendation: A Letter to Momo, Mirai, Giovanni’s Island, Tekkon Kinkreet, Tokyo Godfathers, Patema Inverted, Lu Over The Wall, Rainbow Fireflies, Summer Wars, Suzume, Weathering With You, Liz & The Bluebird, Colorful, Ongaku, Children of the Sea, Night on the Galactic Railroad (those last few are more experimental & weird so probably not great for reaction vids. i just like them for being different.)
Thanks for all the recs 🩷
Man all these comments really makes me happy. I've watched alot of these recommendations. I just started watching anime recreationally last year and I really enjoy the themes alot of them have. They don't go for easy. If I could give my 2 cents, I recommend "A Silent Voice." That one was a hard one to watch as it really reminded me of when I was in high school, masterfully potraying the very thoughts and feelings I had back then. A really beautiful movie.
i've been waiting for this from you for YEARSSSSSS thank youuuuu!!!!
Excited to watch this! One of my top anime movies of all time, I can’t wait!
Woowwww, what an amazing movie for you to come back to your channel on! So happy to see your reaction videos again!! I watched Your Name when it was out in theater and it BROKE everyone in the theater including me :*) So glad you loved it!
My anime recommendations - You HAVE to watch Belle!!! (2021) and Summer Wars
Wow, you caught on so fast to that time thing! Such a gorgeous, compelling movie, I cried just watching these bits again with you. For another anime movie, I recommend Wolf Children by director Mamoru Hosoda! It's centered on family and coming of age. It's also a realistic fantasy, and it has a lovely soundtrack
Your Name is an incredible movie. That's great that you kinda sussed out the twist of them being in different times. Don't know if you noticed the listtle sister in the end montage with her sitting in a school room. Taki's note didn't disappear because messages of love transcends time. in some folklore. Wonderful reaction! Thanks for doing this.
Loved this movie’s music, visuals, and practically everything about it. So glad you went in blind as I try to do that for movies these days outside of seeing a poster or maybe a teaser. Radwimps is a “rad” band and this movie made me a fan of their music.
Another movie I ended up enjoying to a slightly lesser degree is 2019’s Weathering with You/ Tenki no Ko. Another romantic fantasy film.
Sayaka broadcasting the evacuation warning over the school broadcast booth has a real life counterpart in Miki Endo. In the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. She stays at her post broadcasting evacuation warning until the tsunami swept her building. The Father dithering about issuing the evacuation order harkens to Oikawa Elementary school where teachers delayed evacuation until it was too late.
This will never get old for me. Always will be my fave anime movie of all time in terms of the story, characters, animation and even the OST 🥰 i also love watching people's reaction to it ☺️ you are actually good finding out about the plot twists 👍 and i do love stories re time travel too 😊
The one movie I wish I could forget so I could watch it again for the first time. They could see each other during the "golden hour".
I am crying like you now i rewatch this about ten times....still so sad
RADWIMPS with the peak ost
Edit: speaking of peak ost, RADWIMPS also did the ost for "Weathering With You" which takes place in the same universe as "Your Name"!!!! I definitely recommend as a next watch (they have cameos in it) RADWIMPS also worked on the ost for Suzume
This is a masterpiece. Such a sweet, beautiful movie.
I'm about 10 mins in where you mentioned the music and I'm sure other people have also recommended other of Makoto Shinkai movies but Suzume has a wonderful score as well!
Took a trip to Japan this past September. Went alone and spent almost a month traveling around, it was AMAZING! Totally worth the trip, def hit Osaka, my favorite city!
This film also destroyed me when I first saw it. Love your reaction 😂
Anime used to not be like this. Older animes very often have bittersweet or just straight distressing endings, even downright depressing. They loved their tragedies. Getting attached to characters was more dangerous than getting attached to the characters in a Slasher film. Watch films from the 90's and earlier at your own risk.
Your reaction was perfect, loved it. I love your insights and your good heart. Glad to see you back!
These are my top 5 fav anime movies
1. Your Name
2. Weathering with you
3. A Silent Voice
4. I want to eat your pancreas
5. Grave of the fireflies
Please do react to these movies in the future they are really good
Loved you reaction and commentary on Your Name ❤
Good job on figuring out the time thing
No one usually gets that part until it is mentioned
👍❤
So glad this movie was recommended. I never got around to watching it and forgot about it. It's back on my radar now!
based on your comment about the kdramas you enjoy, i'd highly recommend Mr.Queen and Goblin. both are among my all time fave dramas. i'd love to see a reaction vid, even a quick compilation or just a review would be LOVELY !!
Laughing through pain and crying through happiness
I fucking love this movie so much it always breaks me 😊
I haven't watched them myself yet, but i was always curious to see a reactor watch them... There's 2 anime films that were released at the same time as a pair, and apparently depending on which order you watch them, it completely changes the story/ending.
They are: "To Every You I've Loved Before" and "To the Solitary Me That Loved You"
Weathering With You, Suzume and Silent Voice is what i recommended next!
More Non-Ghibli Recs:
-Perfect Blue
-A Silent Voice
-Night is Short, Walk on Girl
-Paprika
"I don't know if I'm going to cry today..." - ' Ohh bless her heart, she's going to cry today 😅'
so glad you decided to go with you gut and do anime reactions! can't wait to see more of them. japanese animation is one of a kind and that's coming from someone who's a fulltime anime watcher (kdrama watcher and kpop listener on the side) i'm excited to see you do more asian media reactions, they for sure now how to make you feel all sorts of things.
I saw you watched the drama for My Happy Marriage, which has a current anime on Netflix. I haven't watched it yet, vut, I've heard good things. Otherwise I recommend the rest of the Makoto Shinkai catalog, lol. I haven't watched the newest one yet but so far Your Name has been the one that wrecked me the most. That said, most of them are at least bittersweet. He definitely seems to like to go straight for the feels in his movies.
There was a Japanese TV show that had a segment on this movie not long after its release as they noticed its popularity among the older generation keeping it in the movie charts (despite the film being marketed to young adults/teens).
They invited some older generation folks to a special screening and placed cameras in the movie theatre towards the audience, then interviewed the people afterwards. Needless to say, many of the old folks were in tears, and noted that the "red string of fate" (symbolised in this movie with Mitsuha's ribbon and the dream sequence at the shrine) which is prevalent in Eastern oriental cultures was something they experienced in their own lives - like an invisible bond - some people said they met their spouse/soul mate or found something they were looking for.
Here's the segment with subtitles from that Japanese show back then - czcams.com/video/gTsafIFkxTs/video.html
I just can't hold back my tears when i watch reactors watching this movie... everytime... geez
This movie and weathering with you, are my favourite movies of all time. The music the animation the emotions, changed me. It hit like no other movie has. You have to watch weathering with you, it's the directors next movie set in the same world
Me watching for 10 times and it causes the same effect as the first time....... Beautiful....
"i love you" is more powered , with one name...
im not a huge anime fan ( outside of mains tream shows like dbz naruto pokemon yugioh from my child hood) but this movie is so good and i love watching reactions
You should check out the movie Ride Your Wave, it's another tearjerker romance with a side of magical realism. A really beautiful anime film I don't see people talking about enough!
Your Name- Mokoto Shinkai’s highest rated film, but also on that goes the hardest on trying for mass appeal. The themes in this film are present in a lot of his other films (so much so that critics say he keeps making the same movie).
My favorite of his is 5 Centimeters per Second, and the ending of Your Name seems to be a nod to melancholic ending of 5 cmps.
I can't even describe seeing 5 centimeters per second for the first time. The feeling of longing he is able to put into his films is magical.
Love this movie, and pretty much anything else by Makoto Shinkai (I am old enough to remember being blown away 'Voices of a Distant Star' when it first surfaced in North America back in the early 2000s... basically a Makoto Shinkai one man show). I can see a few recommendations for 'Weathering With You' and 'Suzume', but his other, older stuff is also quite good. 'Garden of Words', 'Children who Chase Lost Voices' and '5 Centimeters Per Second' are all worth a watch.
Also, yes, absolutely go to Japan. Have been there twice with plans to go back ASAP. Highly recommend October/November. Still pretty warm, and not quite as busy/expensive as the spring.
Ahhh!!! Loved Your Name! Also quite liked Suzume. Not the biggest fan of Weathering With You, though, but do check them all out. They're fabulous to look at to say the least.
A silent voice
Yep 😌! You were destroyed just like the rest of us. Love your reaction!
I would recommend “A Whisker Away”. I really like watching it, and only watch it when i know im ready to full on cry. Some movies i have to wait til im in the right emotional to rewatch it
Nat, I wonder if the K-dramas you watched with similar premises to "your name" came out after this movie? When the movie was released, it was the biggest non-Ghibli anime movie ever in many countries, particularly in Asia, so I wonder if those dramas were influenced by it 🤔(I haven't seen it, but I heard "The Lake House" also had a similar premise to "your name" but preceded it by a few years)
I've watched The Lake House multiple times. It's definitely cheesy and didn't get good reviews. But... Sometimes I guess I like watching "bad" movies lmao. It has some similarities for sure
Your Name destroyed you, but Silent Voice will be crush your heart
This film never fails to make me cry tbh
If you want to cry, any of this Director/writer's movies previous to Your Name are great though this is his most famous.
Your Name probably relates to a lot of people because it sells the fantasy that just by wishing for a different life, you can get it.
The next movie from "Your Name" directed by Makoto Shinkai is "Weathering With You",that's amazing too.and these flims are in the same universe
His film 5cm Per Second changed the way I thought about animation and it will forever be in my top 4 films of all time. Definitely recommend checking out more of his.
We will always support you no matter what happens. We love to see more anime film reactions. Perhaps Studio Ghibli might be a great option.
Idk if someone already explained it but: if taki would habe written down his name it probably would have been erased like the phone texts. But love doesn’t vanish so this message written on her hand was protected. In japan people also belive that two people who love each other are conected by a red string (like mitsuhas string she gave to taki).
I got emotional for you when you were calling it before it was revealed they would forget 😭😂
This is info i got from other youtube comments and the reason he wrote i love you is because after seeing the memo disappearing he knew his name would disappear. But apparently declarations of love would be protected by the moon god or something. Among other waster eggs that other have mentioned. Also the cast from one movie will have a cameo in the next movie i think. I only have seen a few movies in the list of movies he has done and i do not notice stuff so i have no idea.
If someone asks me what movie made me feel different emotion, I always reply Kimi no na wa.
Watching this movie is a rollercoaster of emotions
whenever i feeling happy, i going back to watch this movie to make me cry. I'm so messed up
This movie is fantastic. ❤️❤️ Other non-Ghibli anime movies I’ve enjoyed are:
A Silent Voice
Weathering with You
Suzume
Paprika
Wolf Children
Mirai
Belle
This movie gets me everytime, but the one that I really love (even more than Your Name) is 5 cms per second, sadly I have only seen one or two people in yt reacting to it
A SILENT VOICE PLEASEEE IT'S LIKE A PAIR FOR THESE BOTH MOVIES TO BE WATCHED TOGETHER
I think you're one of the first reactors to notice the "Nostalgia" theme to the photo gallery.
To me, "A Silent Voice" and "Your Name" are some of the best dramatic Anime movies ever!
it's not animated, but try watching "be with you". there are two versions, one japanese and the other Korean. I can't really recommend which one is better since I like both :) can't wait to see your reaction to any of these :)
As others have said, I'd also recommend "A Silent Voice" as well as the other films by Makoto Shinkai like "Weathering With You", "Suzume" and "5 cm per Second" (this one is an older film). Personally, I enjoy "A Silent Voice" and "Suzume" a little more. Expect to cry.
I was in the theater and so many folks gasped audibly at the end of twilight hour (Katawaredoki) when she disappeared. The pen drop was so jarring that it took a few seconds for me to comprehend it. This and "A Silent Voice" are typically the films I recommend to folks who want to get introduced to anime.
This entire film is basically just there to set up the last few minutes if the film. Because that's what the story is about.
You know that feeling of how there's something missing in your life? You don't know what it is but your soul is yearning for it? That's basically how they felt the entire time after taki woke up at the school with no memory of everything.
The most important part of the story is the final few monutes and the rest of the film before that is just trying to give you an experience to make you feel what you're supposed to feel.
Taki and mitsuha didnt know what their souls yearned for, living their lives day to day, until they finally locked eyes and knew they were meant for each other. And we know this because we watched the rest of the film.
your makeup is so pretty!
Thanks 🩷 first time I tried the butterfly look 🦋
I love the soundtrack for this movie!!!
Same! I listen to it daily ☺️
If this does well enough and doesnt get claimed or anything you should definitely react to "Suzume". It's another anime movie made by the same people who did Your Name.
"I love you" kills me everytime 😭
Amazing reaction 🔥🔥🔥😁👍🏿 more anime please.. next "a silent voice" ✨🍻
your Nostalgia guess is very sharp!!
The way you guessed the plot twist! i didnt see it coming
The same animation studio did Suzume no tojimari which is also beautifull
This movie always reminds me of M-flo's "All I want Is you" PV
God. Bawled my eyes out along with you. Again.
12:38 the way u understood it so early is crazy. i had to re watch the whole thing to fully understand it
