C Feb 26 Very bad story and bad characters See more Lareina224 02/16/2025 great！ but i will still remember how amazing that “your name” are See more Icy X Aphid 02/18/2020 The animation is amazing!!! You just get so connected with the characters! See more N 02/14/2020 The movie is pretty delocated and intertwined with Japanese culture and anectode. It also give you the atmosphere of adolescent love. See more M.T. 02/14/2020 Beautiful animation and nice music. How plot works is similar to "Your Name," but it was still enjoyable. See more Van T 02/13/2020 Best Movie I’ve seen all year, definitely worth the watch. Could easily watch this again and again. See more Read all reviews
