Yes I have heard "anata" used that way too in many classical Japanese movies. Usually a wife addresses her husband "anata". I was also a bit surprised at first because I always had the impression that "anata" is a casual and a bit impolite form of you -- however, the more movies I've seen with the wife calling her husband "anata" the more it sounded natural and doesn't sound impolite at all. So I guess it's depends on the situation.

But then again I could be wrong...
resistance is futile.

i wonder what is 'kutte'? like in wakaranakutte, tabenakutte, wasurenakutte.
I noticed it was often conjugated with negative verb?

tabenai
wakaranai
wasurenai

This is confusing... it is --------- mi n na in Romaji

皆 【みんな】 (adv,n) (1) all, everyone, everybody, (2) everything, (P)

mina - san is likely to be a girls name, or a shortened form of a girls name.

the kanji - 皆 【みんな】 can be written thus.

―meanings―
all
everything
―on-yomi―
カイ
―kun-yomi―
みな
みんな
―nanori―
むな

changes when さん is appended
