Blood-Beryl

The animation quality of this movie makes for some really dazzling moments of enchantingly atmospheric cinematography.

However, regarding the story itself the movie seems ridiculously overhyped to me, like all the 9s and 10s here have never seen a decent Anime movie.

The movie starts with a body swap-premise but completely loses its focus in that one halfway through the story in order to switch into a Deus Ex Machina time travel mechanic that overtakes the plot by becoming the key to prevent a town's destruction by a comet.

^This is a very constructed/artificial way to suddenly increase the stakes of what started out as a grounded slice of life movie with a body swap premise.

This new focus on time travel and "we must save the city!" undermines the connection between our protagonists as most of their common time is now not spent on understanding each other, but on trying to understand the rules of time travel and swapping.

Thus, the identification potential with those two drops significantly. Shinkai's later movie Tenki no Ko (which is BY FAR superior to this one in my opinion) shows how character focus should be executed in the long run.

So ultimately, all the 9s and 10s here feel really superficial to me.

A perfect score requires perfect character development.

And unfortunately, Kimi no Namae ha really has not much to show here beneath its beautiful animation.
