  The movie Your Name or Kimi No Na Wa is a Japanese animated romantic fantasy film. This movie was written and directed by Makoto Shinkai. Your Name is one of the best movies that were written by him. It was released in 2016 and became one of the best-animated films that year. This movie is worth watching because it has a great plot, soundtrack, and good animation.

  Your Name or Kimi No Na Wa is a story about two teenagers or high school students which is Taki who lives in the city and Mitsuha who is just an ordinary village girl. They live a normal life until one day something strange happened to them. They suddenly swap bodies with each other and discovered that they have a magical connection between them. They don't even know what caused that to happen. While they figure it out, they also get to know each other much better each day. But one day, they can't switch bodies anymore. Taki tries to contact Mitsuha by calling and texting her but it can't reach her. Things got more complicated and exciting when Taki tries to find Mitsuha and wanted to meet her in person.

  I really enjoy watching this movie. In my opinion, this movie has great animation. The soundtrack of this movie is also good and impressive. Besides that, Your Name also won so many awards such as Best Animated Feature at the 2016 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, 49th Sitges Film Festival, and as the  71st  Mainichi Film Awards. The movie has certain elements that can make the viewers feel emotions such as facial expressions and background music. The characters are very interesting and unique. The plot of this movie is also amazing and well-written.

   I would strongly recommend watching this movie since it is one of the best-animated films I have ever watched. Besides that, for those who love to watch romance movies, it is worth watching this movie. Although the plot is quite confusing, it is still a great movie with great animation and an amazing soundtrack.
