I thought I loved it but then I watched it again

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2018)

When I first watched the film, I was bawling my eyes out even 40 minutes after the movie had come to its end. To my surprise, second round of this movie didn't awake any emotion in me at all.
I think a movie succeeds if it manages to evoke emotion even after watching it several times. With Kimi no na wa I was actually more invested in the visual side and the soundtrack of the movie during the second time. Those things really are worth mentioning, because the movie's visuals are absolutely stunning. Def worth watching in HD if you just get the chance.
However, the plot is kinda vague and I even got frustrated waiting for the end result. The movie felt like it was trying to go on - as if they were forcefully dragging the film to its end.
It's still a solid eight, because when I first saw this film, I thought it had hit the jackpot.
