While the American movie market is up and dominating, this Japanese animation masterpiece made waves in 2016 making them believe with the magic known as love. Your Name explores the "switch" between two high school students' everyday lives, meddling with each other's decisions and lifestyles. Taki, the male lead in this movie, soon learns that he is made to save Mitsuha, the female lead, from a meteorological disaster that plagued a town in Japan years ago, where Mitsuha's life was set. Everything in Your Name is just art in the greatest sense, a candy both for the eyes and heart. The attention to detail was high and pristine, presenting both traditional (Itomori) and contemporary (Tokyo) sides of Japan in the purest and truest sense. The true magic in this film was the idea of love, making you believe in its unique power used aesthetically in a concept and story that is unlike no other. There are many sad moments in this film (too many to mention) but never lose hope when you see how the story transitions on a hopeful note with an ending open to personal interpretation and imagination. Your Name made me believe in the true power of love which makes you cry at the most random of times. Your Name is truly an outstanding feat in Japanese animation. It's one with Spirited Away that the genre has best to offer. It is an immortal masterpiece worth watching and sharing to inspire generations and generations.
