"Then it's not about dreams fading when we wake up. It's about forgetting our real purpose when we fall asleep... it's basically a story about to people who, on occasion, briefly imagine happiness, only for it to slip away again the busyness of everyday life. Who deep down know what would truly fulfill them, yet are afraid to act on it, afraid to make themselves vulnerable." Wow, this is so profound and relatable. I've always had this feeling of something missing in my life and I'm still trying to understand myself what it is.

the key mistake people have is pursuing happiness. you cant seek it, you need to seek a healthy and fulfilling life, and focus on the happiness when it ebbs and flows. if we teach people to try to be happy all the time, of course they will feel like there is something wrong with them. thats just not how happiness works. we adapt - for better or worse - to any situation. happiness is the dessert, not the whole meal.

I think I know where you're coming from. I wasn't even able to touch that feeling, not to say give it a name, but. Once I travelled to a country I always longed to visit, this feeling faded and I was never so calm, and in touch with my own before. Well, let's say it took me 30 years to find the place I truly belong, and was always searching for without even being aware of it. ^-^

I share your feelings. After two divorces and now on my third marriage, you cease to believe in soul mates. Indeed, the idea seems rediculously childish now. Rather, you 'settle' for someone who seems genuine and loving. And that has to be enough. You might think that an odd way to view marriage. But after my first marriage ended due to adultery and the second due to physical and emotional abuse, you 'settle' for this... People are so much a disappointment, especially my family who I don't talk to any more. Yet people are the only real source of happiness. A Catch 22 that is unavoidable.

On this thanksgiving weekend, I just want to say how thankful I am to have discovered your channel two years ago and to be constantly and consistently moved to tears by your thoughtful and rewarding analysis. I love discovering new films and gaining perspectives on some of my favorites through your essays. Even when things seems so backwards and life seems to throw everything I know out of whack, your videos remind me of the beauty I’ve experienced and will continue to experience. Thank you for what you do. I happily await your next work.

This movie was so deeply moving when I first saw it. It still remains the first movie that I actually cried while watching. Also, the composition of these videos, the serenity of them, especially in talking about a movie that moved me so deeply, nearly brought me to tears again. I don't know what it is. Is it remembering that time long ago that I watched this movie? Nostalgia? Or is it just the raw beauty of the movie itself?

I think it awakens a sense of meaning deep within the human subconscious. I believe we all remember (on a subconscious level) everything we've seen and/or experienced. When we happen upon something that sparks a distant memory, whether it be from a dream or just a passing joy, our spirit/mind weeps for the forgotten moment

I think the reason i love this movie so much is because i can feel what they feel. Waking up just longing for something. The feeling that someone is out there and i could walk past them every day. Its like there's a big chunk of your body missing. like half of your soul is somewhere else. Then it hits me that ill probably never get to meet that person. And i feel like that Sadness is something most people around my age feel. Or maybe we just want to be loved. Its like a time bomb, counting down to the happiest moments of your life. But it can easily be defused.

Such a simple message, that I already knew, that I understood when I saw that movie, that everyone know to be truth. And yet, i feel a little sad.

You're actually one of the best content creators out there and I believe you deserve more recognition.

I loved this movie so much. “I came to see you. It wasn’t easy because you were so far away”

My 2 favourites movies are Interstellar and your name, but I never really new why... Now I realise that these movies are connected. Both movies are about time and love. Both give the message that love transcends time and beat death. Both uses strings as a way to communicate through time. The struggle between traditions and modernity is important in both movies and finally the theme of the catastrophy is also present in both stories.

This channel is like an unknown tree bearing fruit in a great garden: tragic that it goes unnoticed, but a joy for those that find it.

Pleasant speech is the highest blessing. I love sweet and gentle voices.

Still listening nandemonaiya and sparkle after three years and still feeling like a train hit me every time. The music and the film quality is beyond masterpiece for me.

Like Stories of Old videos always make me cry. Your Name always makes me cry. Now that they're fused together, a critical failure of my tear duct is near.

And these transitions from the summary to an ad are so smooth

I can feel the emotion wash over me every time I hear that line of "Kimi no namae wa?" I adore this film.

Me after watching the recommendation: Shit, this is going to make me cry but I'm ready Me after watching the video: There's no force in existence that can prevent me from crying. Dude, your videos are antidotes for my soul. I could never thank you enough.

This gave me the feeling that I am missing something that was never there.

While I wish to have that kinda intimacy with someone, she on the other hand is afraid of such connection and I was feeling rejected. Somehow this made me realise, not everyone understand what it means to be intimate.

But just knowing that there's someone like you out there, that can relate, the feel, the essence of what makes us human, is really a comforting sentiment. Please never stop sharing your thoughts.

This has definitely been my favorite channel for a while. Thanks for making these great videos :)

In tears and I'm so happy you finally got around to covering this. Thank you.

man, i love this channel. your voice and how the video is made, feels like a warm embrace that both opens the vulnerable side of me and opens me to new ideas presented by movies/games that i have not noticed when I first watched it or haven't watched it yet, making me want to watch it again. If "Your Name", couldn't get anymore tear jerking, this video just made it more.

I'm so glad you finally did your name. This has been my favorite movie for years, I watch it every month since I saw it in theaters three years ago.. thank you. Been watching your channel for a little over two years and I'm glad you finally made this.

I just wanted to say I'm truly grateful for your work. I'm following your channel for a while now, and the topics you choose are fascinating. More than that, they cut deep, through the 'busyness of everyday life'. I'm left pondering. Thank you!

A beautiful film. The Garden of Words is also a favourite. In fact, most of Makoto Shinkai's work.

After watching this video, I watched the movie. Omg! No other movie has touched me the way Your Name 2016 did. Thanks for suggesting such an emotional movie

I cried after watching your interpretation of this movie. What you said resonates so much with I've been going through for the past 2 years. It's as if what you said in this videos is what I needed to hear and the closure I've been looking for this whole time. Thank you so much.

I really appreciate the way you guys illustrate visuals through words. Thank you once again for another lovely video.

Don't know how you do it man, every video you do moves me to tears. Thanks so much for the great content.

I’ve been going through a major period of self doubt lately. This video was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Your videos almost always make me cry. In a good way. I get chills, I get emotional, I get excited and intrigued and I think the points over and over throughout my day. I tell my boyfriend about it, we have long existential conversations that bring us closer together from knowing one another more intimately on such a personal level. I appreciate all of this so much, and I’m so glad I found your content.

Tom, your essays enrich the medium even further. I will never forget this movie. What an experience!

i like your channel so much. as a cinephile, it’s a pleasure for me to see your videos about my favorite movies. it’s deep and your soundtrack are well chosen, you can’t imagine how many times i’ve watched your videos. keep going

You read my mind man. When I first finished watching this film, I have always had this feeling stuck in my mind, I don’t really know how to explain it to myself, but I know what it is. You explains it very well in this video. Ever since I finish watching Your Name for the first time, I became a change man, I decide to work hard and to become the best person that I want to become, so I could find a better life companion.

Amazing, your take on these films is just beautiful. I've never seen half the films you explore, but each of your videos is a masterpiece and encourages profound reflection - thank you!!

Thank you lsoo. I'm literally in tears after most of your videos, this one was no exception.

Your videos have had such an impact on my life man, I am so grateful.

Another incredible video with practical insights. It really does take the courage to go up and talk to that person that’s caught your eye and so easy to stand still and not do anything, but life is found through taking that risk!

Man, your videos are an experience of their own, I watch them almost the same way I watch a film. Great work as always.

I just found your channel a few videos ago. I'm blown away. I love it. I will watch it tomorrow, I need mental strength to watch it. I feel I will relate so much.

ive always look for your videos when i want to take a moment to rest, your voice is so relaxing and your writting skills are so good, so, thank you

I’m amazed that you’ve been open to different media’s of story like games and now anime, which is great, watching this video, like all videos, always shows me what I’m lacking in my life, I know this to be true because if I’m feeling sad, like right now, it means I’m lacking the topic of this video which is good relationships. And I need to fix, thank you once again.

I am grateful to have found your channel. Thank you. Listening to your pieces is like listening to your subject's voices.

Watching this after spending my first Christmas with the love of my life and her loving family after spending many holidays alone brought tears to my eyes.

Damn, this got me emotional. Having migrated in a different country, I have left all of my fullfiling relationships back home. I feel so empty here, all my relationships are superficial, most people are cold, the weather is cold. It is sickening that people have to exchange their relationships for better living conditions, it's an oxymoron. Now, after 2.5 years abroad I can also feel the physical effects of loniless and it really hurts. I feel trapped between loniless coupled with good money and working conditions, and 6-7 day-long work week, 8-10 hours a day for money which will barely cover my life expenses coupled with people I can call my own. The prospect of choosing is paralyzing and here I am unable to make a real choice... Thanks for the video! Great job as always!

This channel allows me to see the world in a different perspective!!

Thank you for creating this content. You can't imagine how much insight about life and other *important* things you have given me.

I love your videos, the way you see, connect and articulate so many points and themes. Your voice is calm and soothing, just ideal to deliver the kind of messages your videos are about. I'm very happy that you finally covered an Anime, especially one as wonderful as Your Name. Perhaps you can cover another of Makoto Shinkai's work, such as 5 centimeters? Keep up the amazing work you do, you are appreciated.

This is one of the best interpretation of My Name I have seen so far. Thank you for the analysis!

Absolutely amazing work. Your videos always have a way of making me feel so deeply.

Storytelling is precious. Storytelling is beautiful. Storytelling is impactful. The beauty of storytelling is that it helps us gain a refined, introspective view about something that we would have never known of without the story-holder sharing with us. I cannot thank you enough for bringing this forth within the anime film, Your Name. Your message, your way of conveying, and your story are so subtle, and heart-touching. You inspire me to continue turning my hobby of storytelling into a more fulfilling journey!

This movie and Mob Psycho 100 (the Manga) changed me. After watching and reading both I had this feeling stuck inside me. I couldn't and still can't explain it. I felt like I was also looking for something too. After I watched and read both of them I started working harder in school and everything else. I started treating the people around me and the people I was close too better. Your Name and Mob Psycho 100 inspired me to become a better person. Or in Shigeo Kageyama's words "A genuinely good guy." And I finally found what I was looking for. (Also a silent voice but Mob Psycho just impacted me more)

I just found your channel. What a gift! I appreciate you covering Your Name.

I just watched this for the first time this weekend and it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop thinking about it and can’t wait to watch it again.

One of those rare films I think about to this day. The more I analysed it the more I appreciated it. Everything else aside, Your Name is something special

LSOO - You are a Master of your Craft. You're the only artist I know that can truly gild a lily. Bravo sire. 👌👍

Thank you for this review. What a profound, heartfelt, intelligent review. And the way you presented it - your voice, the music, the structure. No funny quips because your topic doesn't need any. No memes to ruin the atmosphere. When I see a review or recap of a show I'm interested in, I listen for maybe a couple of minutes then adjust the speed to 1.5 or 1.75 and turn on subtitles. I never did that with this because this review is an experience in itself. I may be 4 years late into this video but I'm excited to browse through your catalog.

I really enjoy your videos. It's always a joy when I see a new release. Thank you for your content

I have for some time been refreshing my consensus of what truly makes me happy. Movie reviews like yours certainly qualify. Thank you. 😀😃😄

I always look forward to your videos, please keep doing what you do!

After spending most my time by myself over the last year and a half, during COVID, waiting to feel my heart alive, I want you to know that this video made me cry. I cry because of the truth surrounding this film and this concept. I’ve provided for myself completely, but I would give almost everything up to connect with a loved one. That is the true substance of life. If you have that. You have everything.

Your video essays are a delight 😊

Wow! This video is wonderful! First one that I watched with normal speed for a long time. Because it's my favorite anime and because of your soothing voice)

Such genuine goodness and a heartfelt experience, both the movie and your video.

Dear God that was beautiful. Such a deeply touching review, whilst at the same time being deeply intellectual and philosophical. It made me want to re-watch this beautiful film once more. Thank you Like Stories of Old :)

You did it. I dropped whatever I was doing as soon as I saw you published it. This movie means whole lot to me for some reason. I'm glad you covered it.

Wow, didn't expect to be filled with lots of connecting ideas inside my head (Musubi?). I've learned something about fate, destiny, dreams that I've never thought about before. And that Ted Talks linked looks interesting. I think I've got to write this down. Thank you!

One of my favorite episodes, I love your channel and rejoice every time I see a video pop up. I don't usually comment, but I hope to be able to point you to a movie that has in my opinion some of the most genuine ideas about life and love and our crazy journey through the time we have with one another. The english title is 'Us and Them' or '后来的我们' in the original chinese. I am not sure how familiar you are with asian and specifically chinese culture and all its intrecacy, but as you said in the end, the impact this movie had on me personally transcends all that and invokes feelings far beyond the actual content and about how different humans share experiences and hardships. I hope you find the time and state of mind to enjoy it, I think you would find a lot of thoughts and dreams in it, just as I have.

This video is wonderful, your voice is so calming and I really like this movie, in a way that it even interested me in movies in general because of how beautiful it is, BUT I have a hard time getting what it is that you're trying to say. So I'm pretty sure you actually have no real message to bring and just thought about some concepts you found in the movie and connected them to other things like soulmates in real life, but if that's all (and it seems to me like that), it sounds so fruitless. I assume nost of the commentors liked this video as a relatable experience, basically talking like "You know what happened in the movie? Well, what if it's happening to mein my own life right now? Oh God, that's so relatable!" And I can't get the reward of watching something to say it's relatable which is why I don't get the video. But still, very beautiful

Another fantastic video from what's become my favorite KZread channel. I love this movie so much, probably one of the best animated movies that I have ever seen alongside Spirited Away.
