We’re usually not the biggest anime enthusiasts over here, but every once in a while something pops up that is just too great to resist. Your Name is one of those anime films that transcends genre and speaks to audiences everywhere around the world. Right now, J.J. Abrams is in the talks of doing a live-action remake as a matter of fact. Shamelessly romantic and overwhelmingly rich in visual detail, Your Name tells the story of a rural teenage girl and a boy from Tokyo being able to swap minds. For the sake of sheer viewing pleasure, it’s best not to know anything else about plot. Highly recommended!
