Kimi no na wa.

Translated from swedish: Makoto Shinkai is called "The new Miyazaki". "Kimi no na wa." is the second most watched film in theaters in Japan ever. As a genre, anime can respectfully ignore certain logical nitpicking – the freedom and responsibility of such things maintain a refined balance here.

Translated from swedish: Behind the bestseller and now film adventure is animator Makoto Shinkai, who has already been called "the new Miyazaki," a compliment he has modestly rejected. Undoubtedly, he is nevertheless a great talent, inspired by master Hayao Miyazaki, whose films he admires.

Translated from swedish: Makoto Shinkai, a new discovery for me, has directed and written the screenplay based on his own novel. This is a beautiful and mysterious film where the plot elements elegantly fall into place, visually ambitious with several artistic and powerful sequences. And the ideas keep pace with the imagery. A finale packed with drama and breathtaking visuals, plus an epilogue that does justice to the journey, makes "Kimi no na wa." an instant modern anime classic.

Translated from swedish: Beyond fantastic visual performances and a successful reimagining of an old concept, there are many layers to unpack in "Kimi no na wa.". With magic and finesse, Makoto Shinkai has created something unique and richly detailed. The small messages on the phones, the sake cups, and the beautiful details in the traditional costumes. The film leaves nothing to chance.

Translated from swedish: "Kimi no na wa." could certainly have benefited from being trimmed down in the editing room, but there's still some kind of charm in its uncompromising nature. It doesn't want to be a crazy flashy and action-packed anime - it's the complete opposite - a subdued, emotional and beautiful story that shouldn't leave anyone unmoved.

Translated from swedish: For anyone open to the possibility that reality might be more than what we can measure through scientific methods, this film offers a wealth of experiences - both visually and through its dialogue and the emotions it evokes in viewers. It's a magical film for those interested in life's mysteries, in exploring what dreams are, what consciousness is, what time is, what the soul is...

Translated from swedish: It would have been romantic if it hadn't been explained to death, and it would have been easier to absorb if it didn't need to be explained to death. The film is at its best in those moments when people don't say anything at all, and the lavish animation throws colors in our faces. Now and then, in small moments, the film manages to breathe and we finally get the chance to feel what's going on, to find our way through what should be a mysterious film, not one that's artlessly revealed.

Translated from swedish: Soul transmigration and leaping through time are fantasy and science fiction. But "Kimi no na wa." stands apart from other Japanese anime through its everyday realism. The fantastic imagery with all its details, both of the big city and nature.
