i watched it with my boo. basically whenever we watch romantic stuff we get fired up
"i didnt sit through almost 2 hours of this just to watch them pass each other by!"

Didn't think it could beat 5cm per second but wow; the music, artwork, story line...just everything was brilliant i wanted more at the end ;cc

O sht waddup. I watched the movie expecting a slow, incredibly sad romance with breathtaking scenery. But wow it surprisingly impressed me with its interesting plot (It's a lot more than just the first 15-20 min) and occasional funny bits.
Very often I found myself thinking this lol http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6cxbx4MgW1qg8477.png

I'm gonna wait for a North American theatre release or at least until the blu rays come out before I watch this. The only copy I can find online is a 480p english/chinese hard subbed cancer, with watermarks too! I don't know how you guys can watch something like that.

i like it

5cm per sec-9.5
garden of words- 8.5
kimi no wara- 8

there where moments where i was grabbing myself hoping they would succeed

@caeg: yoo man! and yeah I agree. The pacing could have been better for sure.

@EpicNarwhal Ayyyyyy. I liked the movie a lot. Was a good story, great artwork, great music, etc. My only issue was the pacing.

@piana: I have to agree. RADWIMPS is very monotone, lacking in a lot of things, and pretty much sounds like it was recorded in a basement inspired by a lazy 2am drunk whim. "Ugh finally done with these songs" is the imagery I get from RADWIMPS as I listen to the OST. It's a good thing that the stellar art/animation masquerades it as something great, but listening to the OST by itself is an excruciating experience.

any1 kno if steins gate is good

I actually was fortunate enough to have watched the world premier (yes, even before Japan) at Anime Expo 2016 this past summer in Los Angeles (hi @caeg , and s/o to @sainkookie for telling me about the showing). Makoto Shinkai had just finalized the movie less than a week of the premier and he actually flew over to LA to watch it as well.

I have to say that the soundtrack was my most favorite component of the film. At times it was uplifting and hopeful, but at some moments it was sorrowful; however, overall the music had a tinge of nostalgia to it (which is known to be prevalent in Anime and Video game music).

Shinkai held a comments, questions, and answers session immediately after the end of the film. Someone in the crowd commented on the soundtrack and he told us that he spent more than a year to a year and a half trying to perfect the soundtrack. He said that if there is one thing about an anime film he wants to be remembered by, it would be the soundtrack.

As far as the art, it was without a doubt very detailed and beautiful overall. I was so tempted to take a few pictures on my phone, but the room was heavily staffed with volunteers and security guards.

With the breathtakingly beautiful soundtrack paired and the exquisite artwork alongside an emotional storyline, I definitely recommend watching this film.

I love the progress of it all! Loved it.

I thought it was Shinkai's strongest work so far. Quick point form review:
1) I liked the soundtrack and music; probably 2nd favorite to Garden of Words
2) Intro is a piece of art by itself - loved the transitions and composition
3) Shinkai's visual direction is always pretty rad; animation has stepped up a notch as well, using less background stills.
4) I like how the movie SHOWS but doesn't tell, through character interaction and dialogue. Really wasn't a big fan of writing style from Garden of Words or 5cmps; they were too melodramatic and literally told every feeling they had to the audience.
5) Mix of light-heartedness and seriousness.
6) I enjoyed the story.

i watched it on kissanime! it's not the hd version but the quality didn't bother me. @arcinex haha i tried of course, but the film's opening theme wasn't one of its emotional tracks

where did you watch it
i can only find bad quality versions of it

I think Kimi no Na Wa was a good movie. There were some parts in the movie that could have been better by adding in details, but if they were constrained on time duration of the movie I can understand.

Great piano cover. Try to show more feeling! After all, you were trying to convey the emotions you felt immediately after watching Kimi no Na Wa.

funimation has it? wow I was hoping on aniplex or ponycan to get it.

Have yet to watch it but it looks really good.
