Inevitable

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2020)

Have you ever watched a movie for the first time and thought it was 'just good', but once you rewatch it, you finally realize that it's not just good, but near perfection. That's what happened when I watched Your Name. At first I just liked it because I had to constantly read the subtitles and understand the plot. But later on, I watched it for a second time, and started paying attention to certain details, like the animation, the performance of the voice actors, the likable characters, Japanese culture, but the best and most impressive one of all is the music by Radwimps. Their songs go so well in every scene in this movie, especially "Sparkle" in the final moments of the film. And that is one of the main reasons as to why this movie is a "Masterpiece" in my eyes. This movie is without a doubt the best animated film of all time, with Spirited Away a close second. It's such a shame that pathetic, lazy people from Hollywood just take ideas like this and start making their own versions. In the end, it doesn't matter, Disney will always be in the shadows of Japanese Anime. 10/10
