Top 10 Anime Movies & Series Recommended After Watching Your Name

 So you just finished watching "Your Name" for the second time, third, or maybe even 15th? But what else can you do to alleviate this hole in your heart? In this video I'm going to recommend 10 anime movies and series you should watch and may enjoy after watching "Your Name.

" Makoto Shinkai the director of "Your Name" received great praise from the anime and film community when this movie was released in 2007. If you enjoyed the beautiful animation and heart-tugging love story of "Your Name" then this movie is for you. Takaki and Akari, two very close friends and classmates are torn apart when Akari's family is transferred to another region of Japan due to her family's job. Despite separation they continued to keep in touch through mail. When Takaki finds out that his family is also moving he decides to meet with Akari for one last time. As years pass by they continued down their own paths. Their distance slowly growing wider and their contact with one another fades yet they keep remembering one another and the time that they share together wondering if they will ever have a chance to meet once again. Directed by Mamoru Hosoda, personally my favorite director. If you enjoyed the romance and time altering aspects of "Your Name" you will enjoy this as well. Makoto is in her last year of high school but is having a hard time deciding what to do with her future.

 In between enduring the pressures of her teachers and killing time with her best friends, Makoto's life suddenly changes when she accidentally discovers that she is capable of literally leaping through time. Following Makoto as she plays around with her newfound power she soon learns the hard way that every choice has a consequence and time is a lot more complicated than it may seem. When five students at Yamaboshi Academy realized that there are no clubs where they fit in, they band together to form the student Cultural Society. One day Aoki and Yui experienced a strange incident. Without warning they switch bodies for a short period of time. As the supernatural phenomenon continues to occur randomly amongst the five friends they begin to realize that it's not just fun and games.

 Now forced to become closer than ever they soon discover each other's hidden secrets and emotional scars which could end up tearing their club and their friendship apart. Another film directed by Makoto Shinkai the artwork and animation far exceeds any of his past but the story and romance aren't as compelling as his other works. Mitsuha's teacher the same teacher shown in this movie and many of the train sequences also feature the same characters. On a rainy morning in Tokyo, Takao, an aspiring shoemaker, decides to skip class and sketch designs in a beautiful garden. This is where he meets Yukari Yukino, a beautiful yet mysterious woman, for the very first time offering to make her new shoes, Takao continues to meet Yukari throughout the rainy season. Without even realizing it, the two are able to alleviate the worries hidden in their hearts just by being with each other. However their personal struggles have not disappeared completely. And as the end of the rainy season approaches their relationship will be put to the test. Steins;Gate is a bit different from the rest. The first few episodes may divert non anime audiences away as the characters and sitting take place around otaku Akihabara culture and is very slow moving, but I insist for you to continue watching. Understanding the culture is not necessary because the characters are so relatable and fleshed out anyone can enjoy this this is one of my favourite anime series but it took a while for me to watch only until episode 12 is when I marathoned it in a day.

 The self-proclaimed mad scientist Rintaro Okabe or HOUOUIN KYOUMA! rents out a room in a rickety old building in Akihabara where he indulges himself in his hobby of inventing prospective future gadgets with fellow lab members Mayuri, his airhead childhood friend, and Hashida Itaru a perverted hacker nicknamed "Daru" the three pass time by tinkering with their most promising contraption yet, the machine dubbed the phone microwave which performs the strange function of morphing bananas into piles of green gel though miraculous in itself the phenomenon doesn't provide anything concrete in Okabe's search for a scientific breakthrough. That is until the lab members are spurred into action by a string and mysterious happenings before stumbling upon its unexpected success. The phone microwave can send emails to the Past altering the flow of history steins gate takes Okabe through the depths of scientific theory and practicality forced across the diverging threads of past and present Okabe must shoulder the burdens that come with holding the key to the realm of time. In an alternate reality 1974 Japan the country is split with the southern islands controlled by America and the northern islands claimed by the Soviet Union Hokkaido referred to as Ezo decides to construct the tower in the sky by 1996 Hokaido's tower construction is complete and three students of Aomori have big dreams concerning this tower Hiroki and Takuya are considered child prodigies and both harbours romantic feelings for Sayuri though neither of them will dare admit it when a drone crashes down the two boys resolved to repair it and slide to the top of Hokkaido Tower but before the dreams of flying it are realized Sayuri vanishes unbeknownst to them her disappearance is related closely to the tower that the two dream of reaching This is the very first independently produced project by Makoto Shinkai although only 25 minutes long it tells a heart-wrenching story of a long-distance love after watching all of Shinkai's work you can really tell why "Your Name" was so successful. It was really a story revised and edited into the masterpiece it is almost 20 years in the making. A story of a long-distance love and mail messages between a boy and a girl set in 2046 after the discovery of the ruins of an alien civilization on Mars man has been able to make leaps in technology and is trying to send an expedition into space in the next year Mikako and Noboru are junior high school students however while Noboru will be entering senior high next winter Mikako is selected to join the space expedition also it has giant robots fighting, so that's cool. I've never finished this series as I found the first five episodes to be very boring but I've heard from others that the show finally picks up in the second season I may revisit it in the future but if you feel the need to chop onions in front of the TV this is for you.
 Tomoya Okazaki is a delinquent who finds life life dull and believes he'll never amount to anything he skipped school and plans to waste his high school days away one day while walking to school Tomaya passes a young girl muttering quietly to herself he soon discovers the girl's name is Nagisa Furukawa.  Tomoya learns Nagisa has been held back a year due to a severe illness and that her dream is to revive the school's drama club claiming he has nothing better to do he decides to help her achieve this goal along with the help of four other girls as Tomoya spends more time with the girls he learns more about them and their problems as he attempts to help each girl overcome respective obstacles he begins to realize life isn't as dull as he once thought. I really enjoyed this show not only for the romance but the great music and artwork as well I do have some problems with it that I may talk about in the future on how the series could have been a masterpiece like "Your Name." "Music accompanies the path of the human metronome.
 The prodigious pianist, Kousei Arima, after the passing of his mother Kousei falls into a downward spiral, rendering him unable to hear the sound of his own piano two years later Kousei still avoids the piano and lives a colorless life alongside his friend Tsubaki and Ryouta however everything changes when he meets a beautiful violinist Kaori who stirs up his world and sets him on a journey to face music once again. This is my all-time favorite movie even more than your name by just a tiny bit while not exactly a romantic show it tells the love of a mother and her children Hana a hard-working college student falls in love with a mysterious man who attends one of her classes though he is not an actual student as it turns out he is not truly human either on a full moon night he transforms revealing that he is the last werewolf alive despite this Hana love remains strong and the two ultimately decide to start a family Hana gives birth to two healthy children Ame and Yuki both possessing the ability to turn into wolves all too soon however the sudden death of her lover devastates Hana's life leaving her to raise a peculiar family completely on her own the stress of raising her wild nature children in a densely populated city all while keeping their identities secret culminates in the decision to move to the countryside where she hopes Ame and Yuki can live a life free from judgments of society wolf children is the heartwarming story about the challenges being a single mother in an unforgiving modern world if you have any other recommendations please let others know in the comments below be sure to LIKE and subscribe as I may talk about one of these in the future my next video I'll be talking about Sword Art Online, so be sure to watch it before then!
