Your Name - Trailer [English Subtitled]

Finally watched Your Name on a TV with decent sound. I still can't believe how beautiful that movie is. The level of detail in every scene, the backgrounds, the ambient sounds, the saturated yet believable colors (especially in the scenes on the mountain) and of course all the music.

I feel like you can pause the movie 99% of the time and have a beautiful computer wallpaper.

The official English lyrics for this song aren't great. That said, this is the way I originally experienced the song, so this version has a special meaning to me.

#KimiNoNaWa (#YourName) producer (and also #Suzume and #TheGardenOfWords), Koichiro Ito, sexually exploited over 100 underaged girls and was only sentenced to 6 years in prison. Everything is better in "Place, Japan" except for their outdated laws I suppose.

"Your Name" is a romance, supernatural movie about a boy and a girl who suddenly switches bodies one day and their quest of trying to reverse the change while making sure no one around them notice anything suspicious. Heralded as one of the most critically acclaimed and visually stunning animated film of all time, "Your Name" is a must watch for those who haven't seen it yet.

I read #YumiAndTheNightmarePainter over several flights during my Japan trip.

#BrandonSanderson wrote this anime-inspired Korea/Japan-like setting romance novel during the Covid days. It's got #BodySwap shenanigans like #YourName, but in a sci-fi /fantasy setting. The romance plot and focus on fantasy jobs was inspired by #FinalFantasyX.

Unfortunately, even if it's a standalone novel, it requires understanding the basics of Hoid and the #Cosmere to understand the full context, so not a good first book of his to start with.

Runner Up: #Yourname: Yeah, yeah, I know, not a big surprise, but there’s a reason it was so popular for so long. Even with its flaws, Your name just works so well as a cinematic experience about the ways fates and lives can cross each other in the least expected ways. The way time and space bend around one another, causing ripples that bounce back and create further changes, is elegantly illustrated in Shinkai’s direction, as well as the landscapes of Tokyo and the countryside he creates. The plot loses some of its luster in the last third, but still comes to a compelling conclusion that lives the best to come.
