Your Name. (Kimi no Na wa)

How can I even begin to talk about Your Name (Kimi no Na wa)? For the longest time, it has felt like an insurmountable task. Too much too good to ever be able to provide any justice to this amazing film. How can I convey the jaw-dropping beauty of the 2D animation or the emotional heart of the incredible score from RADWIMPS, let alone trying to express anything coherent of the power that this story tells? But I couldn't let this "Unintentional Animation Season" come to its end without getting to a film as great as Your Name.

This is something special, even magical, and more people need to see it. Beyond that, I just need to get these thoughts out of my head, because it's keeping me up at night. Something THIS good deserves to be talked about nonstop! It is a simple idea but told with just perfection, and heart that you fall right in love with the rest of the characters.
