Im not quite sure why this became the ultra-megahit it did. I mean, obviously I liked it, since Im ranking it this high, but its not even my favorite Makoto Shinkai anime (Garden of Words and Voyage to A Distant Star are both much better). I do highly enjoy the body-swapping gimmick. The first half of the movie is all sorts of fun with the antics that both characters get up to. Honestly, I wouldve been cool if the whole movie was this sort of thing. You could make a whole anime with fun stuff like this (I really enjoyed the first arc of Kokoro Connect, too). The twist is cool too. It gives everything a deeper meaning, and couldve led to some pretty great drama. I didnt think the drama was bad, honestly. It just wasnt particularly amazing. Probably the weakest thing was the ending. Having them lose their memories was stupid. Honestly, this is pretty much always a stupid plot element in anime (and other works of fiction). Memory loss is dumb except maybe when its immediately reversed. Having them meet again at the end kind of helped a little, but that didnt really do it for me. Blah.

Also, wtf was up with all the insert songs? None of them were good and there were a lot. I dont get it.
