But before I get into explaining the plot of Your Name, let’s remember that opening quote from Mitsuha and Taki and what it represents. The novel is set during the events of Your Name through the perspective of Mitsuha's friends and family. At first she thinks it's just a detailed dream, because the teens don't know when they'll wake up as each other. The animation is thrilling, with the almost photo-realist views of Taki’s urban Tokyo life contrasting with the verdant hues of Mitsuha’s lakeside home. Love is not bound by space or time, but instead by the individuals who are inextricably connected no matter where they are.

Perhaps it was always known the second comet would strike, and that knowledge was passed down from generation to generation? Despite its charm, success, and visceral power, Your Name has a very convoluted story that’s difficult to grasp, that has left many wondering if it’s a mess of a movie that doesn’t work. And while she’s trying to piece everything together, she looks down in her notebook and reads a message from Taki: “Who are you? The abandonment of the word “kataware-doki” is symbolic of the history of Itomori being abandoned, only leaving behind elderly’s grasp on tradition. So when she hands that thread to Taki later in the movie, she’s not just creating a spiritual link—she’s offering half of herself to someone she shares a bond with.Leaving the house, she realizes that she has ended up in Tokyo, as if her dream had actually come true. Her grandma says, “When you keep twining like that, emotions will eventually start flowing between you and the thread.

However, for both Hitoha and Futaba, those connections faded over time and eventually became hazy memories. While there are not as many wallpaper opportunities as in 5cm/s, the quality of them is significantly higher. Sayaka is named after a friend of Shoko Aizawa's from middle school, who appears in the seventh episode of Shinkai's novel The Garden of Words. 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.Both, shocked, flip through their books and notes, and come to the same conclusion: That in their dreams, they are switching bodies.
