Introduction

Your Name (Japanese: 君の名は。, Hepburn: Kimi no Na wa) is a 2016 Japanese animated romantic fantasy film produced by CoMix Wave Films. It depicts a high school boy in Tokyo and a high school girl in the Japanese countryside who suddenly and inexplicably begin to swap bodies.

By far one of my favorite animations of all time is Kimi no Na Wa (also known as ‘Your Name‘ in English) written by Makoto Shinkai and produced by the company CoMix Wave Film, which is a Japanese animation film studio and distribution company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. Makoto Skinkai and his team took the time to focus on every detail of the animations from the landscape to the characters to the tiniest details of the movie, ultimately making this animation aesthetically breathtaking! Not only is the animation beautifully drawn, but the soundtrack, Your Name, by the RADWIMPS is elegant and compliments the movie entirely. Makoto Skinkai pushes his artistic abilities further by focusing on themes like distant love, time, space, traditions, destiny, and so many more!
