"Best of the year" is ridiculous on its own, let alone the decade. It's quite good and worth watching, but come on.
Yeah I remember another user mentioning that when I complained in the old thread. I do want to give it another shot. It just completely drained any emotion from those moments for me.
I think it's between Your Name and Into the Spider-Verse, but they're both great.
5 Centimeters per Second is the only Shinkai I've seen, and I barely remember anything about it.
Nah.
-Parasite
-Mad Max 4
-Once upon a time in Holywood
-A Silent Voice
-Get Out
-The Hateful Eight
-The Handmaiden
-The VVitch
Of the top of my head are movies I found much more impactful.
That said, Your Name is good for what it is.

Yo, i'm like ... super not into anime, but Your Name's really really really good.
I dunno. The animation was great, but i was kinda bored in the theater and rolled my eyes super fucking hard at the last 10 minutes of the movie. Too on the nose.
it was just okay for me, not even the best shinkai movie... was disappointed after all the other one he did before
I picked this up a while back but haven't gotten around to watching it. After Christmas season, perhaps.
I'm a weeaboo and I hard disagree with you.
Story is ok, execution of the theme is strong, animation/art is amazing.
I think it's great overall, but there's some massive cringe-moments throughout the movie.
It's pretty tho, I guess.

Like, does the movie really need show the guy feeling himself up multiple times, when he wakes up as the girl?
That's because 5 Centimeters per Second is a melodramatic story about middle schoolers that I will never be able to take seriously.
It's pretty tho, I guess.
The One Who Knocks Ok I was always saying people who say you're Phantom Thief are being crazy, but now I'm not so sure anymore lol.
Yea, will throw in another vote that A Silent Voice is better (to me).
It has some weird pacing, where it kinda meanders in the later half, but damn does it hit some emotional highs.

Mad Max, Blade Runner, Sicario, Lady Bird, La La Land, Moonlight, The Revenant, Inception, Interstellar, Django Unchained, Boyhood, The Peanut Butter Falcon, BlackKkKlanssman, Spider Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Get Out, Wonder Woman, Thor: Ragnarok, Logan, and Gravity are all WAY better movies than this one.
I liked it *A LOT* but there's no way it's best of the decade material. Maybe the one best anime films of the last decade though, I can say that. I gotta hand it to Masaaki Yuassa with his output. Between Walk on Girl, Lu over the Wall, and Ride Your Wave, dude has been killing it with his films.
There's no way.
Ya'll haven't seen a Miyazaki film? Or Akira??
There's no way.

I mean, it is a good movie overall but it's not even close to Shinkai's best (5cm) let alone movie of the year. It fumbled so many plot points and ended up focusing more on spectacle than substance. I was seriously rolling my eyes at the last couple of mins as the trademark Shinkai ending seemed to be unfolding again (before the last second asspull).
A Silent Voice was significantly better, it really didn't deserve to be buried under the Your Name hype tidal wave at the time.

I just cannot accept that, OP. In a decade when all these all came out:
2010: Black Swan
2011: Sunny
2012: Frances Ha
2013: Inside Llewyn Davis
2014: When Marnie Was There
2015: Carol
2016: The Handmaiden
2017: Ryuichi Sakamoto: Coda
2018: Burning
2019: Parasite
And there are hundreds of other amazing movies that released. These were just what I had typed out for my favorites of each year. Your Name is an okay movie. Here are better anime films from this decade:
Night Is Short, Walk on Girl; When Marnie Was There; The Tale of the Princess Kaguya; Liz and the Blue Bird; Mirai; A Silent Voice; The Red Turtle; A Letter to Momo; and Wolf Children.
And I haven't even seen Ride Your Wave, Children of the Sea, Promare, In this Corner of the World, Giovanni's Island, Penguin Highway, Lu Over the Wall, Tibetan Dog, Miss Hokusai, or The Case of Hana & Alice. Got some tough competition, and Your Name isn't even Shinkai's best movie! Voices of a Distant Star is better. I'm not really a big fan of Shinkai, though I've seen almost all his films. They're gorgeous. They're also shallow.

See more movies, OP.

I could literally name over one hundred films from this decade that I think are better films. I'm all for everyone having their own opinion, but I think there's a difference between a statement like "best film of the decade" and "my favorite film of the decade." OP's statement has a lot of hyperbole.
What, the commercial? The movie isn't out anywhere. Does it even have a date yet?
No date yet, but should be sometime next year. I hope they also do a NA theater release as well. :)
I liked it, but as a shinkai movie I felt it had standout cheap shot moments with those three ova style outro reprise music scenes.
It's like they took the standout easy emotional pull of this
and made it the bread and butter of the movie.
Still liked it though.
