But my personal score is 8.5/10 for it initially, now I honestly have to lower it to an 8. The story is cohesive and impactful unlike Your Name. That's not to say that the film lacks good parts. While Kimi no na wa was simple-minded movie for a Sunday's evening, I forgot all about it the next day. The movie had a huge staying power when it was released and it was shown for a long time till they finally finished the cinema release showings. Tell me one thing - would you seek out a screening of Your Name. Both are touching, Your Name probably has more plot holes due to the supernatural stuff, but less moments where I just wanted to punch someone in the face. And I will be lying that I also didn't get a huge wave of feels about my wife and kid after I finished the movie. It brought up all the nasty things about bullying without any mercy, but also showed the long road to redemption. A Silent Voice hits you more from the inside as it shows how a person's regrets gets the best out of us. It just did not make sense while watching and still doesn't. Follow. Your Name for me. A Silent Voice. I can tell you 100% I would not care for A Silent Voice screening, but I will go all out for tickets to Your Name. But I know they are overpraising Your Name because I am absolutely not at Miyazaki’s level. Not good for people who can't stand any depiction of bullying. Your Name (Kimi no Na wa - 2016) Mitsuha is a little girl frustrated by her simple life in the Japanese countryside and her temple responsibilities in her care. Imo, Kimi no na wa was generic and boring for the most part, while Koe no Katachi hit me hard in the feels. Every part of it is done so well, just enough confusion at the beginning that you have to understand when they're switched, the music video moments (for lack of a better word) with radwimps amazing soundtrack, the moment you learn more about what's happening, and the wrap up were just done so well.

Especially since I watched both of them at the same time i think. All in all, to be completely honest, the whole second part of the movie with what happens with Shoko's suicide attempt and subsequent Shoya's coma and how it plays out hinges on that one fucking scene about him not understanding that she is saying she loves him.
