Your Name was unique in the subversion of that stereotype instead of a timid and quiet male hero we were given the heroine named Mitsuha, a girl forced into reservation by her role as the mayor’s daughter and the maiden of the family shrine. That loner archetype is then changed by the often upbeat or eccentric female love interest who storms into his world and changes his life. In most romance anime there is a common trope of the silent, sometimes geeky, but always reserved and always alone male hero. So if you’re an anime freak like me that needs something else to watch in the meantime, here are five truly moving romances to fill your Kimi No Na Wa void that can grab your heart as they have mine. While Shinkai teased in a vague tweet that his next film is set to release sometime in 2019, not much more is known about it than that. Now, over two years since its release, fans worldwide are going into anime withdrawal, itching for their next Makoto Shinkai fix. Released in 2016, Makoto Shinkai’s film exploded with critical acclaim and sold out box offices across Japan, eventually surpassing Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away as the highest grossing anime film of all time. One, in particular, that took the anime world by storm was Kimi No Na Wa ( Your Name).
Whether in the form of novels, movies, manga, anime or other forms of art, they grab people in different ways. Simply put: stories help shape who we are and who we become. More than that, the stories that really touch us and the tales that we grow up with can become the foundations for our dreams and ambitions as adults. As a journalist and fiction writer, I believe stories can change people’s lives.
