| Really wholesome, really beautiful, amazing visuals and animation by Bones. You can tell it was greatly influenced by 'Koe no Katachi' in a lot of similarities not to say there's anything wrong with that but still a pretty great movie indeed in my opinion. I enjoyed it quite a lot. OST and the music were beautiful as well. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend it. |

| Funimation will be releasing this movie in theaters July 12-14, 2021 both subbed and dubbed. source is here More info available here [url=https://weareani.me/t9cq3x[/url] no info as yet if Funi's going to do a DVD/BR release yet. but i'm betting they will, 'Your Name Is' made Funi lots of dough both in theaters and on disk. so if this one is popular expect a home video release. |

| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| A really good movie, I am glad this didn't had sad end, animation and art were crisp, the Male MC idk why made be remember Uesugi Futaro from 5-Toubun no Hanayome maybe bc his character design is similar and they are both studious, poor and are doing multiple Part time job but yeah I enjoyed it. |
    ═════════════════════════════ You're going to be all right. You just stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nothing. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'm sure you'll overcome this. You'll walk again... soon. ═════════════════════════════  |
| Pretty meh tbh. Looks and sounds good but the characters were really bland and bad, especially the wheelchair girl. I did not like her personality at all and I don't like the 'servant' dynamic between the main duo. Their romance felt completely unnatural; almost like stockholm syndrome. I really liked the animation and the beautiful camera shots though. Overall 4/10 for me |
 |
| Loved it. I was really looking forward to this one. I loved Tsuneo, his personality & earnest attitude won me over very early into the film. He’s amazing & I think Nakagawa Taishi did a really great job♡ Eve’s 心海 & Ao No Waltz were a perfect fit♡ I can’t believe some said that they found it weird that Josee’s disability was “irrelevant” as the film went on. Of course?????? It’s a romance-drama about discovering & facing everything life has to offer, and the female lead just so happens to be in a wheelchair. That’s it. Stop reducing her to whatever your agenda is. Anyway, I loved the scene so much where Tsuneo pushed Josee & ran around in the park. It made me so emotional. No fucks given to anything or anyone. Together, they can face anything♡ Find you a guy like Tsuneo! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| Dont get some of the criticism on this discussion thread, seems like people being unable to fill the blanks since their brains got mushed by watching way too much dumb anime. The only bad part of this is how you have to suspense the disbelief at the end, everything else makes complete sense and the characters are coherent. The message of the movie and the emotions that go through it are well executed |
| Tony the Tiger wasn't featured in the movie. 0/8 would not recommend :( In all seriousness, I had a good time watching this. Even if it started slow with Josee's annoyance and the setting up for Tsuneo's standing, the pacing started picking up with the going outs up until the accident happened. Then there were a few slow and sad scenes fitting for Tsuneo's mood, but at least it went up again with Josee's picture book and the conclusion. Gotta say, at least she grew up enough to cheer up Tsuneo and give him that last push towards recovery. Nevertheless, I don't quite dig her personality traits. I prefer Mai even if her relationship status was bound to not improve by much. Favorite character? Hayato, easy answer. Presentation-wise it's not perfect. While the animation is certainly consistent and gorgeous, there were a few frame drops in the middle, particularly in the diving scenes. Plus, the soundtrack didn't stand out overall, aside from the very beginning and the end credits. Then lifted the mood certainly but nothing to write home about. Overall, recommendable, maybe even a tearjerker, but not a masterpiece in my eyes. |

| I have seen the 2003 live action movie just few month ago compare to that this is 10 times better also it have a happy ending unlike the older version. Anyway I really enjoyed this movie , it's beautiful animation and sound track is praise worthy . Overall rating by me 9/10 at this moment. Would definitely like to re-watch this in future. |

| Well, I expected romantic melodrama - I'm not disappointed nor surprised. The movie is meh. The first half was boring, I even paused the film and did other stuff, that’s why it took me one hour longer than the runtime to complete it. The second half (around when the car crash happened) was better, but not great either. |

| It was sweet. I was a fan of the two protagonists and dynamics and the way things were handled was solid. As expected, the visuals were incredible and really shined |
 |
| Overall I gotta say I liked it. I gave it a 7. Though in the end I couldn't help, but be a little bit disappointed. The premise of a romance / drama where you have a guy who is going to "save" a girl, but actually it ends up that she saves him in the end. Along with beautiful visuals and soundtrack is right in my wheel house, but this missed the mark just a bit for me. Probably my biggest problem was going from drama, to kinda over the top melodrama in the 2nd half. I mean you really could of wrote that scene up before even seeing that movie. What's the conflict 2/3 through the movie going to be? She has wheel chair trouble and he gets hit by a car. It's so cliché that it's almost charming, like they felt they were obligated to do something like that to make the drama gods happy. It seemed like they almost made the guy too flawless so where would the struggle and conflict come from otherwise the movie would almost be gross and turn just into "guy savior" who saves "poor girl". So they give him a horrible injury where he could end up not being able to walk and I guess his life was so solo focused that him not being able to dive makes him basically lifeless. I wish the second half drama was toned down a bit, made more simple and personally focused between the two leads. Also, and I feel I never think this, but I wish the movie was a bit longer, maybe 20-30 minutes just focused on the two main characters relationship and them being together. We don't get a lot of truly great relationship moments between them and their situation, doesn't seemed forced, but is just kinda... there. It's not really a build up or evolution it's goes from step 1 to step 2 if that makes sense. Oh and I've been done with movies having leads fall in love, but have to be apart for extended periods of time, followed by times skips. I hate that crap more than anything in romance anime. Stop doing time skips, stop having characters finally realize they love each other and want to be together only to have them be apart, but passing it off as a good thing, but they are doing their own things. That alone is at least minus 1 point on any score for me. Well I just spent a lot of time railing on the movie, but I actually did like it. Overall it's a sweet story with likable leads and a secondary cast that's very basic, but nice. Looks and sounds beautiful. Despite the garbage separation / time skip the ending is still a happy one. |
| A really beautiful film, loved it. I really appreciate the added end credit scenes. More story chicken out at such instances to maintain the bitter sweetness. |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| too bad the girls in wheelchair/deaf(silent voice) irl aren't ever as cute as they are in anime. |
 |
| Watched this movie today in cinema with my sister.. Got, what I expected, I guess, and this is good.. Serious movie.. Not all things go the way we want them at times.. As well as name was suggesting that something fairy-tail'y might take place.. Josee's fairy tail with the wings in the heart was beautiful.. ;P Overall, was an enjoyable movie.. ;P |
| Pretty good movie, outstanding visuals but cliche plot developments after the traffic incident and ending 8/10 |

You can check in the final credits their name will come. Well... yeah that's not a new thing. Animation studio usually takes help from other studios during the production of the movie. Every studio does that. But, yeah I noticed that during the movie. Their names never actually meant to be mentioned anywhere except the credits because the main studio was 'Bones' after all. |
|
| I don't watch a lot of drama, but it's super refreshing to have a realist movie (unlike Shinkai recent works, which I mention here because they were the last drama movies I saw), with real problems (unlike fantasy/chuuni problems), with protagonists being of college age (instead of highschoolers). You know, they worry about money/jobs, they're confronted to death and handicap, and the movie is detailed enough -- the interiors, the wares in the shops, the landscapes -- that you feel immersed in the real world. And yeah the visuals are gorgeous, the character are cute, Bones did great on that part. On its own, it's a decent movie, you know, the valid person experiences a handicap situation that allows them to understand handicap. There's symmetry, as there is in love, some would call that reciprocity, but it's nicely constructed in the movie. But like, I haven't followed the history of adaptations this work had, I just happened to read the original novella two months ago by complete chance, and this movie has almost nothing in common with the book. Not to spoil anything but the book is both more subtle, and more radical in it's approach. Well it's set in the 80s after all, life for impaired people was much harder back then. Not that being different from the book is bad per se, they modernised and transformed, added value and bringing the title to a new audience and all that, as I've said it's a decent movie, but it's definitely noteworthy so I'm noting it. |
 |
| A beautiful movie by Bones. Everything was on point : the art style, the soundtrack, the voice acting and the animation are beautifully well done. It's definitely a movie I'll remember. 9/10. Yes the movie is pretty cliché sometimes, the story is simple and it has some flaws, but it is so beautifully executed that you don't even care about them. I heard that the ending (and a lot of other things) of the live-action adaptation from 2003 was very much different from the anime adaptation (in a good way), so I like to think this is its very own story. |
  ┌─❈❇❈─┐  └─❈❇❈─┘ |
| Visually, one of the best anime movies I have ever seen. Bones really put work on this one. I can't really say the same thing story-wise. Some scenes feel a bit cliche. But hey it was still an enjoyable watch overall and I think that's the most important part. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| Big, rounded wild cat nearby them as Josee pet? How could i hate this one? Ah, yes, this movie got a very good fmc. Pretty standard petite cute girl, honestly, but with the additional different she get, she still have her charm on me, instantly. Even if you are a heavy tsundere and very spoiled in the beginning. You are still fuckin cute, Josee. Don't mind some tigers here and there. Because no matter shit, this is a very nice simple romance story about reaching all the dreams. It might be very cliche premises to begin. But, all of the plot executed in a nice way, especially with a little twist for Tsuneo reaching the understanding at Josee situations. Another good thing here, the supporting characters really did their job very well done, supporting those two until the end. They were not that deep, because its simply outstand the two mcs all-around. So, as a simple guy who love such simple romance story, with the additional unique setting and plot behind all of them, with all of those symbolism too; like tiger, mermaid, etc. For some tigers around, these simple story might bugged them very much. But, for me, this is a well-worthed movie to enjoy, in your lonely time, or together with your couple. Its your call. That's it all for me. |

| I'm a sucker for these types of stories. Something to just relax back to and watch, think nothing enjoy the beautiful scenes. After reading a bunch of philosophy the past month and not having watched anime in a long time, this was a really good watch for me. Now on to 86. |
 Your life to come is bound to make you smile |
| Good movie but what was the point of the other diver girl and her one-sided romance. That was just unnecessary drama. Where did it even come into play? |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| I didn't go into the movie with high expectations or anything so I enjoyed it. I did like the main character a lot (at least i think the boy was the main character). Josee got on my nerves a bit at times, but her reasons for being so moody are valid. I enjoyed the first half the most, the second half felt like it was trying a bit hard to be depressing. It was a pretty good movie, I don't know if I would watch it again by myself, probably just to show to a family member or something like that. |
| Sacrificed a good portion of my sleep to watch this in a nearly full-packed theatre 12 stations away from my place, and I can confidently say that it was worth it! In particular, the animation and aesthetics from Bones impressed me. I knew that it'd be good but just not that good. Josee's house, the water and the camera angles for some of the shots were just fantastic. Add to that, Evan Call's music, and that's most bases covered right there. On the side of the story, there were a few visible drawbacks and it took a bit of time to warm up to Josee but once I did, the pacing kind of took off a little fast and I feel like I couldn't appreciate the developments enough. At least the Romance was substantial, I would've been ticked off had they removed these in place of more events and whatnot. Really liked the after-credit scene and the visuals + Eve's Ao no Waltz during the ED theme were some of my fav bits! Cute little illustration by Josee to finish the movie off with, as well. Tsuneo's accident plus the whole rehab and Josee's side of things was wonderful to watch! These two are just meant for each other. Also, their bonding moments in the first half were fun to watch. Not going to forget some of the Grandma's priceless expressions and reactions, lol. Mai-san's sincere feelings for Tsueno was very touching and it's sad that we didn't get much of that aside from just propelling the relationship between the main duo. Taking on the villain role for a bit was really sweet too, she's a good woman indeed. With all said and done, this is getting a solid 8/10 from me. I'm having a course this summer which involves the topic of human disabilities so it was all the more meaningful for me to watch Josee's struggles in the movie, or so I would like to think so. I've heard the Japanese live-action (2003) takes a depressing turn for its finale and I'm usually in the mood for those from time to time so I might consider giving that a shot for then. I don't know if I'll be able to take it though, shed a few tears for this alone... |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Very solid movie overall. Has some iffy parts, but personally it exceeded my expectations greatly. The part I'm least satisfied with is the ending - orange fish where? I really wanted to see that orange fish somewhere in the epilogue/credits... |
 |
| To be honest after watching it, I can't get over it, it's only been what I've been thinking for the last 2 days |
| Just watched the premiere at my local theater. Beautiful movie, I loved it. Full of life, charm and passion. The themes really resonated with me personally. Some of the coincidences to start the movie might have been out of the left field but it was a very anime thing to do and I don't really thing it's something to find fault with. The character dynamics were great, the first half was very cute and adorable. Tsuneo and Josee were great, I couldn't help but really like how they off handedly contrast the freedom of both characters. Tsuneo is a young man, full of life, chasing his dream and Josee is shackled to the ground by her disabilities and dependencies, only able to dream of what something could be like. For that exact reason, the amount of awe and expression on her face when she's finally able to experience all those new things was incredibly charming. You can feel the passion in every scene and I loved the part where she experiences the sea for the first time, beautiful stuff. I'm nothing if not a sucker for being shown the freedom of being able to do and experience the things you want. The second half of the movie did get dramatic but I think it was handled really well. I personally related to Tsuneo during the accident as I went through the exact same thing when I was in college studying to achieve my dreams so I guess they got me good in terms of investment. Luckily for me, it wasn't as bad as Tsuneo. I kinda found it funny cause they show him having a conversation with his Mom about how he doesn't want them to come over and look after him cause it's not a big deal, I remember saying those exact same words to my own parents. The most beautiful moment in the entire movie for me was when Josee tells her story, it was incredibly cathartic for me personally. Maybe it's because I went through the exact same experience but it really did bring out a lot of emotion in me, I had to pick myself up after the same way and perhaps that feeling of recognition that I did the same thing made this movie really worthwhile for me. Honestly, the only fault I can find with this movie is that they cut to the dramatic events a little too fast for my liking with little to no build up. It's understandable cause they need to fit the story into movie length. I also think the romantic drama with Tsuneo's friend was probably not really required but outside of those things I think the movie is a beautiful showcase of freedom, passion, friendship, love and human spirit. I'm a sucker for these things so yeah, job well done Bones, you got me. Speaking of them, they did a terrific job with the production. The art was gorgeous, the animation was great and very expressive, you can tell they put a lot of passion into the movie. It really does show. 9/10 "As long as you have the wings of your heart, you can fly anywhere" |
 |
| It was ok, had some cute moments with some emotion in there as well but nothing to write home about. I do give credit to the story telling scene towards the end as that was done pretty well. The story contained many clichés with some done pretty decently and others feeling a little on the cheesy side, especially that deja vu of a scene where she slides down the hill again...albeit the scene after between them was cute enough to make up for it somewhat. Visuals are lovely but visuals don't help much if the story can't match it. 7/10 |

| All in all, it was a really solid and by-the-books romantic drama. It follows all the plot points you'd expect it to and as a result, plays it safe. As such, it can't help but be a solid film. The characters are written well enough and there's some really charming moments throughout. Plus, the art and soundtrack were highlights of the film. Nevertheless, I had a few more issues with the film than I thought I would going in. I really feel like it could have benefitted from a longer run time. Maybe 15-25 more minutes? The plot was constantly moving forward, which worked in some ways. However, I feel like we needed more time to see the characters bond in the first half of the film. Also, despite it being an obvious trope most people saw coming (and necessary to move the plot forward), the grandmother dying was extremely sudden. You can't avoid it being cliche, but I felt it should have been foreshadowed or built up to. Lastly, there's just a lot of plot contrivances here. A prime example being the second instance of Josee rolling down the slope and flying into Tsuneo's arms. In spite of all that, I still really enjoyed the film. Perhaps my expectations were just a bit too high. 8/10 for me. |
