Why it's a gem
A single sitting is all this one asks. It's a movie, so you get the whole story in one evening, with no seasons to track or catch-up to do.
Two teenagers, one in the countryside and one in Tokyo, are linked by something strange and supernatural. The romance is at the heart of it, and the mood mixes youthful humor and warmth with a pull toward tragedy. Memory, time and distance all play into it.
It's a strong first anime for someone who normally watches live-action films, and it appeals to anyone who likes romance with a fantasy twist. Hundreds of thousands of people have rated it highly. Those who want fast action may find the pace more reflective.

Synopsis
Mitsuha Miyamizu, a high school girl, yearns to live the life of a boy in the bustling city of Tokyo—a dream that stands in stark contrast to her present life in the countryside. Meanwhile in the city, Taki Tachibana lives a busy life as a high school student while juggling his part-time job and hopes for a future in architecture. One day, Mitsuha awakens in a room that is not her own and suddenly finds herself living the dream life in Tokyo—but in Taki's body! Elsewhere, Taki finds himself living Mitsuha's life in the humble countryside. In pursuit of an answer to this strange phenomenon, they begin to search for one another. Kimi no Na wa. revolves around Mitsuha and Taki's actions, which begin to have a dramatic impact on each other's lives, weaving them into a fabric held together by fate and circumstance.
