10 Animes To Watch If You’ve Never Seen Anime
4. Your Name
Your Name has been praised by countless Eastern and Western viewers since its release in 2016.
The film has gone on to win numerous awards for its beautiful soundtrack and is currently in the works for an Americanised live-action remake... because nothing is sacred.
Your Name is currently the fourth highest-grossing film in all of Japan and deals with tough issues such as beliefs, relationships, and family. While it can be often rather confusing to follow at times, there is a brilliant pay off for both the characters and the story as a whole.
With a sense of the supernatural, Your Name puts a magical spin on real-world worries and everyday inner conflicts. The premise of an almost Freaky Friday like reincarnation that separates two souls over several years is poetically brilliant.
Be sure to watch this absolute masterpiece before Netflix or Hollywood get their hands on it.
