Your name is Kimi no Na wa. Quotes from the anime "Your Name" Quotes from the anime "Your Name"
I'll start the review with a request. Please don't watch this movie in bad quality!!! Wait for the BluRay edition to appear. At the time of writing the review, there was a version in the network in terrible quality and half-screen watermarks, which I, for lack of patience, looked at. Don't repeat my mistakes. Do not allow yourself to spoil the impression of Kimi no Na wa, because the art in this film is truly amazing, and you should enjoy it only in the very high quality and ideally on the big screen. In general, be patient, and you will definitely be rewarded.
Makoto Shinkai is back! One of the most famous directors modernity, a recognized genius of romantic everyday life, last works which it was fashionable to criticize in the circles of "refined" critics, again broke into the Olympus of the anime industry by releasing a full-length film Kimi no Na wa ("Your Name", "Your Name"). A film that instantly soared to the top of the world ratings with skyrocketing ratings, and only strengthens its position as more and more viewers get the opportunity to get acquainted with this masterpiece of animation art. At the time of writing, Kimi no Na wa was ranked #1 on the biggest western site MAL with an incredible 9.4/10 rating, beating seemingly immovable anime titans by a wide margin. Gintama And . Let's try to figure out if the numerous accolades for the film are deserved, or if we are witnessing a fashion obsession that will soon subside. In short, absolutely deserved!
Brief information
Your name – a feature-length film lasting almost two hours, released in the summer of 2016 by the studio CoMix Wave Films. Makoto Shinkai acted as director, scriptwriter and editor-in-chief. Anime is based on original script . The film from the very first days of hire became the leader of Japanese cinemas. In less than two months, more than 11 million (!) Tickets worth over $140 million were sold in Japan alone. This is the first non-studio film. Ghibli who achieved such a resounding success. But it will still be, because sooner or later Kimi no Na wa will reach the screens of Western cinemas (damn, how I hope to be shown in Russia, how I hope ...).
Your name tells the story of two people who do not know each other. is a girl living in a small town who is tired of the boring country life and dreams of moving to Tokyo. — a simple Tokyo boy studying in high school, and in free time working in an Italian restaurant. Their destinies would never have crossed if one day they hadn't accidentally... swapped bodies. Now they have to get to know each other better and find the answer to main question— what happens to them?
I'm sure many of you will have a natural question: "What's in Kimi no Na wa so special? Why is it that a seemingly ordinary film has gained such wild popularity at a time when, it would seem, it is no longer possible to come up with anything revolutionary new and nothing will surprise the viewer? For an answer to this question it is necessary to have at least a superficial understanding of the previous works of Makoto Shinkai. The fact is that the works of the director have always been distinguished by the depth of the meaning inherent in them and the emotions evoked during viewing. However, his previous works were aimed at a rather narrow audience and are difficult to perceive. Let's take for example - beautiful anime, in my opinion, the best of what Shinkai has previously created. But when, while still a schoolboy, I first saw it on television, I abandoned it after twenty minutes. "Boredom!" thought the young brain, and the hand quickly switched to another channel. To understand Sinkaev's works, one must think. It is necessary to have a certain life experience and try to project the story being told onto own life. Byousoku 5 Centimeter is a really difficult work to understand, which, if misinterpreted, can leave a depressing impression or even drive you into depression. This explains not the highest ratings and a strong divergence of opinions - some people simply did not understand what the director wanted to say, and for them the anime seemed boring (especially for a young audience), and some understood it wrong and were sad that, they say , life is decay and hopelessness, we are all grains of sand in the vast expanses of space.
In "Your Name" the depth of the underlying meaning is approximately at the same level, but for perception it is much simpler. The reason lies in his multi-level. In Byousoku 5 Centimeter, there is only one level of perception - you either understand anime or you don't. Kimi no Na wa has something for everyone. Young audiences will love comedy and romance, adults will love sci-fi and drama, but thinking people will be able to enjoy the struggle of opposites, which Shinkai used in his new work. Kimi no Na wa gives each viewer the opportunity to experience an endless stream of emotions without the need to search for deep meaning and unnecessary thoughts, whether it be joy, sadness, anger or despair. While maintaining the depth of meaning and power of emotions, Shinkai made his new work accessible to the understanding of the average viewer, and that is why the number of top ratings for Kimi no Na wa is now much higher than for the rest of the master's works.
Kimi no Na wa harmoniously combines traditional and modern Japan. Everyone knows that Japan is a country with deep traditions that are revered by the inhabitants to this day. That, however, does not prevent it from remaining the most developed post-industrial country in the world. Shinkai took all the best from the two opposites of his homeland and combined them in a work. After all, it is not for nothing that the backwoods and prosperous Tokyo were chosen as the scene of action in Kimi no Na wa. It’s not for nothing that so much attention is paid to Japanese deities, traditions, and Tokyo cafes where you can have a delicious snack on cakes. Kimi no Na wa is entirely built on a game of contrasts. Boy and girl. Village and city. Earth and space. Comedy and drama. Everyday life and fantasy. Past and future. The skillful combination of opposites allowed the director to create a spectacle of unprecedented beauty - multifaceted, immense, but at the same time very close and dear.
Characters
A competent choice of characters in an anime about everyday life always plays a crucial role. Heroes must harmoniously combine two factors: simplicity and originality. Simplicity, because that's what everyday life is for, so that the characters in it are the most ordinary and realistic. The viewer must recognize himself in the characters, because in this case he will empathize with them much more strongly. Originality, because no one wants to watch boring and gray heroes. We have enough grayness in Everyday life- tired. The main characters of Kimi no Na wa are Mitsuha Miyamizu and fully comply with the above requirements. Despite the simplicity, it is interesting to watch them, and you really want to empathize. They are realistic, they are bright, they are alive . They have charisma that shows up in small things like Mitsuha's evening shouting about his desires or Taki's rude embarrassment when it comes to his sempai. Combining, these little things add up to a vivid picture of characters, which subsequently make you remember the main characters with warmth. By the way, this is one of the rare cases when the fact that the main characters are schoolchildren did not harm the atmosphere of the anime in any way.
Pro minor characters in general, there is nothing to say. They are good, but they play too minor a role to single out anyone in particular. All attention is paid to Mitsuha and Taki, and this is an absolutely justified decision.
Plot
The two-hour film format allowed Shinkai to build a story with a well-defined structure and flowing narrative. He, like no one else, understands the importance of the smooth development of the story being told, because only then the viewer will have time to get used to the characters, only then will he empathize with them and be able to feel the full range of emotions. The plot of Kimi no Na wa is great: there is also a logical plot with an abundance of comedy moments that allow you to quickly get to know the characters and get used to them; And smooth development of action with truly unexpected plot twists breathtaking; And some climactic episodes causing a hurricane of emotions; And quiet intervals so that the viewer can gather his thoughts and relax; And flawless ending answering all questions and providing emotional release. Even fiction, which has always been considered weak side director, fit into the plot of Kimi no Na wa properly. In two hours, Shinkai manages to tell more than most serials. anime series taken together.
A few words about the ending. It was impossible to think of a better ending to the story. I don't understand the reviews where the ending of Kimi no Na wa is called one of the weaknesses plot. She is gorgeous! The last three minutes to the accompaniment of the song Nandemonaiya groups Radwimps This is by far the best scene I've ever seen in an anime.
Reflections on the ending (with spoilers), if you haven’t watched it, it’s better not to read
Never in my life have I wanted so much to see a happy ending! Yes, sometimes this ending is not optimal and can spoil the impression of the work as a whole, but in the case of Kimi no Na wa, the main characters, and with them the viewer, totally deserved the good ending. They searched, tried with all their might to find each other, and no distance or even time could stop them! Unlike Takaki and Akari from , who lost contact and took it for granted, Mitsuha and Taki did everything to meet again. If they hadn't found each other, my mood would have been ruined for a couple of weeks. I'm absolutely serious! When the characters met at the overpass and walked past each other, I felt an emptiness somewhere inside me, because I really believed that Shinkai would end the story in the same way as in one of his previous works. But, fortunately, the master was not so cruel, and made the right decision. After I finished watching, I had a smile on my face for a long time. Smile absolutely happy person. How little we sometimes need to be happy!
Reflections on emotions (also with spoilers), if you haven’t watched, it’s better not to read
In fact, I can't even imagine how hard it was for the anime characters. For five years, they realized that they had lost something very precious, but they could not remember what it was. Has it ever happened to you that you came up with good idea, keep it in your head all day, and then, at the right moment, it eludes you? Do you know the feeling of resentment and despair when you are trying to remember something in a panic, but you can’t? Now try to realize that Mitsuha and Taki had to experience similar emotions for five years! Constantly looking for something but not being able to find it. Remember something, but not be able to remember. And so day after day ... It's just incredible. That is why I so wanted to meet them, and was so happy when I saw her.
Moment of Sentimentality
As I have already noted, Shinkai managed to combine the features of traditional and modern Japan in an optimal way. This led me to a series of thoughts. If you don't want to read sentimental nonsense, just skip the next paragraph.
If you think about it, every day we are faced with a mixture of past, present and future, but in a hurry we do not pay attention to it. It is enough to look around and you will notice a lot of new things. Take a look at the newly built, trendy shopping mall, in the shadow of which one-story wooden houses lurk, in which people have been living for many years. Walk along the empty city streets and try to comprehend the fact that even ten, twenty, fifty years ago, the inhabitants of your city hurried along them, busy with their petty concerns. Think about the fact that many years ago, under the tree you pass by, people were sitting and talking peacefully. Sometimes we do not notice that the past, present and future are actually tightly connected by a thread of time, similar to the one that connected the main characters of Kimi no Na wa. This, by the way, is one of the many metaphors used by Shinkai.
Panache
One hundred and ten minutes of visual enjoyment. Amazing. Amazing. Incredible. When describing the drawing of Kimi no Na wa, I want to use only the strongest and most exalted epithets. Screenshots are not able to convey all the beauty of urban and rural landscapes, painted by the artists of the studio CoMix Wave Films. The greatness of drawing is fully revealed only in dynamics. The artists have outdone themselves. Like all Shinkai's works, Kimi no Na wa pays great attention to the skies, trains and boundless natural spaces. From time to time I paused the video just to take a closer look. the smallest details images, because the detail of the backgrounds is on the highest level, and the panoramas with their scale and beauty from the very first frames cause goosebumps all over the body. In addition, a colossal work was done with light and shadow, which made it possible to give the images an unprecedented depth and expressiveness. And that's assuming I was watching Kimi no Na wa in soapy 480p with half-screen watermarks. It's hard to even imagine what the image will be in FullHD or in cinemas!
Music
Where there is not enough expressiveness of graphics (there are practically no such moments in Kimi no Na wa), comes to the rescue musical accompaniment, which was also a success. The music for the anime was written and performed by the popular japanese group Radwimps, and, in my opinion, the musicians have fully coped with their task. Especially for the anime, they composed over twenty-two tracks, some of them with vocals. As in all other Sinkaev works, preference was given to lyrical instrumental music performed on piano, violin and guitar - a win-win for dramatic everyday life, allowing you to maximize the effect of emotional episodes. The combination of incredible visual and musical accompaniment made it possible to create amazing scenes, of which there are no less than five or six pieces in anime. I repeat - they must be seen and heard, it is simply impossible to convey all the beauty of Kimi no Na wa in words.
Ratings
Characters - 10.0. Simple, but very lively characters who want to empathize. The case when simplicity is perceived better than something complex.
The plot is 10.0. A delightful story with a Swiss watch structure, unexpected plot twists and a perfect ending.
Drawing - 10.0. You have to see it with your own eyes...
Music - 10.0. Magnificent musical accompaniment, multiplying the effect of emotional moments.
Conclusion
Makoto Shinkai has outdone himself. He created a creation in which every detail is perfect. A masterpiece of animation art that will leave a deep mark on history and serve as a much-needed boost to the anime industry, which Lately was in a state of stagnation. An anime that hits the strings of the soul in a big way and drives them into resonance. Two hours of enjoyment that you are unlikely to ever forget. Don't believe me, trust the ratings. Do not believe the ratings - believe yourself. Take a look at least to make up your own own opinion and I assure you, you won't be disappointed. Kimi no Na wa is one of best anime that I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen them oh how many. I recommend it to everyone without exception. But first, wait until the BluRay edition is released or shown in theaters (if that happens at all). All the best, and watch only the best!

In the morning I open my eyes and for some reason cry. It happens to me. I can't remember that dream at all. Only... only... I remember that I lost something. This feeling does not leave me for a long time even during the day. I am always looking for something or someone.
Get down already!
- Well, what are you doing?
- You're heavy.
- Rude.
Mitsuha, are you sleeping now?
Threads weave and take shape. Twisted, tangled, sometimes unraveled, torn, but then intertwined again. This is Musubi, knot weaving. It's time itself.
Lost?
- Yeah...
How did you manage to get lost on your way to school?
- Well, just ... I got carried away ...

- Haa... I got too carried away! Tokyo is bustling with life. Funny!
What? Are we?
Are we with her?
- In dreams, we are with him ...
- In dreams, we are with her ...
- Changing bodies? 
Musubi, if time can be turned back, please... give me another chance.
Wherever you are in the world, I will look for you.
Who are you? Why did I come here? To see her! Save her! I wanted her to live! But who? Who is this? Who did I want to see? dear person that I don't want to forget! Which must not be forgotten! But who? Whom? Whom? Whom? Your name?

- Taki... Taki... Is that really you? Taki!
- I came to see you. I had to try. You were so far away
- But how? Because then I...
- I drank your kurikamisake.
- Eh? Did you drink it?! Fool! Pervert!
- What?!
- And you pawed my chest!
- Uh... how did you know?
- Yotsuha saw everything.
- Ahh... sorry, I couldn't help it. Yes, but only once
- Only one? What difference does it make! Dunce!
- Sorry. 
Of course we won't meet. But... if it does work out, what should I do? Will he get angry or just be embarrassed? Or maybe... he'll be a little happy? Of course we won't meet. But... I am sure of one thing: if we see each other, we will immediately understand that you lived by me, that I lived by you.
One day you will find your happiness. 
Makoto Shinkai is a director whose films, not infrequently, make me negative emotions, but in this case - almost in love he wants to confess. Your Name is an anime that is scheduled to premiere in Russia in September 2017. However, the world premiere has long passed - the picture was taken more than a year ago and is in the public domain.
PLOT:
Of course we won't meet. But... if it does work out, what should I do? Will he get angry or just be embarrassed? Or maybe... he'll be a little happy? Of course we won't meet. But... I am sure of one thing: if we see each other, we will immediately understand that you lived by me, that I lived by you.
She - ordinary girl from a village lost somewhere in the mountains of Japan. He is an urban, modern resident. Completely different people, unfamiliar with each other, who are united by dissatisfaction with their fate, and a dream of a completely different life. Their wish comes true, but in an incredible way. One strange morning, they switch bodies.
HEROES:
Taki - an ordinary guy who lives in Tokyo, but dreams of someday moving to the village and enjoying a measured life.
Who is this? Who did I want to see? Dear person whom I do not want to forget! Which must not be forgotten! But who? Whom? Whom? Whom? Your name?
Mitsuha - a sweet girl from the village, with a dream of living in a big city.
In the morning I open my eyes and for some reason cry. It happens to me. I can't remember that dream at all. Only... only... I remember that I lost something. This feeling does not leave me for a long time even during the day. I am always looking for something or someone.
Running time - 1 hour, 46 minutes.
Genres- fantasy, mysticism, drama.
How fantasy and mysticism The movie was definitely a success. The case when, at first, a typical, familiar plot, under the influence of genres, turns into something unpredictable and exciting.
Your name is one of the few anime that made me cry. And this despite the fact that melodramas rarely touch me and drama. Sneaked at the moment of twilight in the mountains:
Plot, at first glance, typical and not original. How many times, the heroes of different films, changed bodies - and do not count. However, Your name will definitely surprise the viewer with one turn, perhaps even move you to tears. It is difficult to speak about everything without spoilers, I can only say that that topic with the comet, or rather, the events associated with it, touches on very important social moments, and makes you remember not the most pleasant historical events.
It was funny to watch the desire of a city dweller to move to the countryside, and a village dweller, on the contrary, to live in the city. Something like this, often, and it happens, or - everywhere it's good where we are not.
By the way, throughout the film, the viewer observes a red ribbon, which is either in the heroine's possession, or in the hero's possession. A simple, and, at first glance, unimportant detail. However, I noticed that the Japanese, in their films and anime, especially those related to mysticism, often introduce such tapes into the plot that, as it were, bind lovers together. But, more often, this is an ephemeral detail that either no one sees at all, or only lovers see it. Here the tape is real. And a quote from the anime itself, in the subject:
Threads weave and take shape. Twisted, tangled, sometimes unraveled, torn, but then intertwined again. This is Musubi, knot weaving. It's time itself.
Characters- quite standard, but I was worried about them.
The final- in principle, given all the events, it is quite logical, and does not leave a feeling of incompleteness. A fantastic line also raises no questions - everything is put on the shelves. But, I thought that it would end differently, since Shinkai's paintings usually do not end so simply and logically. Close to his usual style, but I often, at the end of his paintings (it doesn’t matter if the ending is happy or not, the reason is different ... those who are familiar with his work will understand), I think - again, everything is through one place. There were no such thoughts here. From his work, I also liked the movie Garden fine words , that's where not only the picture is good, but also the content with a denouement, there is even something to think about after viewing. Also, I really liked his short film - She and her cat.
Panache in all the films of Makoto Shinkai - a masterpiece! Just for the sake of the picture, usually, I start watching his films. How disappointed I was with the film Five Centimeters Per Second, but what a beautiful one it is (backgrounds and falling snow are mesmerizing). Your name - I like it on all counts, and the drawing, and the plot - everything is perfect. Backgrounds - just ask for a screensaver on your desktop. The night scenes and the starry sky are simply magical.
ABOUT music I must say separately! The soundtracks are atmospheric and catchy. Sound effects, also on top, and look like real ones. I really liked it, and immediately went to my playlist, this topic:
RADWIMPS–Kataware Doki
SCREENS:
A comet is approaching the Earth, it leaves behind a luminous trail in the sky.
Two teenagers, Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu, talk about their dream at the same time strange dreams. They do not remember what happened in them, but in the morning they feel a sense of loss. Since then, they have been searching, without knowing whom. It all started on the day when the stars fell from the sky.
Mitsuha wakes up. Actually it's not her. Taki is surprised to find himself in a girl's body. He touches his chest. Yotsuha, Mitsuha's younger sister, calls her for breakfast. She says that Mitsuha is behaving like crazy again.
Mitsuha goes down. She has breakfast with younger sister and grandmother (Hitoha is the guardian of the girls). Hitoha and Yotsuha note that today Mitsuha has become herself again, although the day before she was somehow strange. There is a message on television that a comet with an orbital period of more than a thousand years can be seen in the sky in a few months.
On the way to school, Mitsuha meets up with her friends Katsuhiko and Sayaka. In the street of their small town located in the mountains, the local mayor is giving a campaign speech, who is counting on re-election. The mayor yells at Mitsuha not to slouch. This is Mitsuha's father. For some reason, he doesn't live with his family.
At the lesson, Mitsuha flips through his notebook and finds a note on one of the pages: “Who are you?” She later finds out that the day before she forgot her class, couldn't remember where her locker was. Mitsuha is surprised. On the way home, friends complain about the backwater they live in. The town of Itomori is so small that there are no restaurants, no bookstores, and no other entertainment. Mitsuha dreams of moving to Tokyo after graduation. Katsuhiko suggests going to a cafe, the girls are delighted with the idea. In fact, the young man leads his girlfriends to a vending machine next to a park bench, treats them to soda.
The mayor meets with Katsuhiko's father. He is the head of the local building union and supports his election campaign. The father tells his son that he will have to help him next weekend, which annoys Katsuhiko.
In the evening, Mitsuha and Yotsuha perform the ceremony at their family temple. The sisters dance a ritual dance and make kuchikamizake. They chew the rice into a paste and spit it back into the bowl. After the fermentation process, the paste will turn into sake. Several of Mitsuha's classmates walk past the temple, they laugh at the ritual, mocking Mitsuha. As the sisters go home, Yotsuha tells her sister not to take the ridicule personally. Mitsuha loses his temper. She screams that she hates her city and this life. She would like to be a handsome guy from Tokyo in her next life.
The next morning, Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's body. The physiological features characteristic of guys are very unusual for her. Mitsuha finds out that she overslept, she hurriedly gets ready and leaves the house. Mitsuha is amazed to be in Tokyo. Mitsuha (Taki) is late for school, chatting with his friends there. Shinta and Tsukasa celebrate strange behavior Taki. They are going to go to a cafe, which Mitsuha likes a lot. A message comes to Taki's phone: he urgently needs to come to work. Taki works as a waiter in an Italian restaurant.
Mitsuha is in a hurry to get to work, but being Taki is much more difficult than she thought. She makes many mistakes, there is a conflict with one of the visitors of the restaurant. A man complains that he found a toothpick in a pizza. He expects that he will not have to pay for his order. Taki's senior colleague, a girl named Okudera, assures the customer that the dish will be provided at the establishment's expense as an apology. During the showdown, an unpleasant client discreetly makes a slit in Okudera's skirt with a clerical knife. Later, the girl tells Taki that she acted according to the instructions, although the client clearly set everything up. Taki notices that Okudera's skirt is ruined, he suggests that she sew it up. Okudera is surprised at how neatly Taki handled it, he made the seam in the form of a cute embroidery. The girl says that Taki has changed lately, she is fascinated by the fact that he has feminine traits.
The next day, Taki returns to his normal state, he does not remember anything about what happened the day before. Colleagues are burning with curiosity: how is their relationship with Okudera developing? Taki has no idea what they're talking about. Okudera arrives, says that yesterday was a wonderful day, winks at Taki, making the boy blush.
By this point, Taki and Mitsuha are aware that they switch bodies during sleep, and make mutual attempts to make life easier in such cases. They write notes to each other on smartphones and notepads, each setting rules to follow in someone else's life. Mitsuha's advice most often concerns etiquette. Taki tells you how to carry out the duties of the job. He asks Mitsuha to spend less money on sweets as he has to take extra shifts at the restaurant because of it. Despite their differences, both find the situation amusing. Taki makes it so that classmates begin to pay attention to Mitsuha. Mitsuha, on behalf of Taki, is flirting with might and main with Okudera. At the same time, both teenagers claim in their dialogues that they are not going to start relationships with the opposite sex.
One day, Taki gets into Mitsuha's body on a holiday. Hitoha leads both granddaughters to the forest, where sacred place. Grandmother talks about musubi, the family guardian deity. The braid-amulet, woven from many threads, according to their religion, symbolizes the continuous flow of time, the connection of human destinies. Even food and drink, once in the human body, becomes a particle of his soul. Granddaughters leave in the sacred cave what they made during the sake ritual as an offering to the musubi.
Taki wakes up to find a message from Okudera on his smartphone. They have an appointment. The young man is embarrassed, he looks through the notes and finds out that the meeting was made by Mitsuha, it should take place in 15 minutes. Taki rushes on a date.
Mitsuha is preparing for the city festival, tying her hair with a ribbon-amulet. She knows that Taki and Okudera have a date now. The girl looks in the mirror and sees that tears are flowing from her eyes. At first she is surprised, and then she realizes that in fact she would like to meet Taki herself. She herself did not notice how she fell in love with a young man whom she had never seen.
Taki and Okudera go to a restaurant. The young man is nervous, he does not know how to behave, what to talk about. His thoughts are somewhere far away. At the photo exhibition, he sees a selection of pictures, these landscapes remind him of the town where Mitsuha lives. Okudera says that it looks like Taki is no longer in love with her. He again became the same, and she was attracted to Taki by completely different qualities. Okudera believes that Taki has found another girl, so they say goodbye and break up. Taki tries to call Mitsuha, but there is no connection.
Back in Itomori, Mitsuha cuts off his hair, makes short hair. She goes to the festival with her friends. A comet is already visible in the sky, this sight frightens Mitsuha. A piece breaks off from the comet, it flies towards the Earth. Mitsuha's eyes widen in horror.
In Tokyo, Taki is sad because he can't get through to Mitsuha. He would like to switch bodies with her again, but this is no longer happening.
Time passes. Taki draws from memory the views of the town where Mitsuha lives. He desperately tries to find out where this place is, but to no avail. Taki decides to go looking, he gets on the train. He is accompanied by Okudera and Tsukasa. Friends want to support him morally, in addition, they are terribly curious to know who this girl is, who is looking for Taki. The trio visit various places around Tokyo, but no one can tell what city Taki painted. At the end of the trip, friends stop for a bite to eat at one of the restaurants. Its owner recognizes in the drawings of Itomori, he comes from there. Taki asks where this town is. The man sadly reports that Itomori was completely destroyed three years ago as a result of the fall of a meteorite - a fragment of a comet. More than 500 people died then.
Taki and his friends arrive at the scene of the tragedy. Located near a mountain lake, the town lies in ruins. Taki tries to confirm the reality of his communication with Mitsuha, he shows his friends the notes that she left on his smartphone, but they all mysteriously disappear. Taki doesn't know what to think. The trio goes to local library, where friends discover the lists of the dead. Mitsuha, her sister, her friends are all dead. Taki is shocked and heartbroken. How is he connected to the girl who died three years ago?
Friends stay overnight at the hotel. Tsukasa asks Okudera's opinion on the whole story. She confirms that Taki is acting a little strange, but in some ways this girl has made him a better person. Later, Okudera asks what kind of ribbon Taki has on her wrist. He says he does not remember who gave it. This was several years ago. Ribbon - a talisman for good luck.
When Taki falls asleep in the hotel room, he dreams of Mitsuha, she asks to remember her. In the morning, Okudera finds a note. Taki writes to friends to return home without him. Taki travels to Itomori and finds his way to the Mutsuhi family's shrine. This small cave remained intact. Inside, Taki discovers two vessels, one of them was left by Mitsuha, the other is his sister. Taki decides to drink Mitsuha's sake in order to be able to possess her again and possibly save her. Taki takes a sip, gets up, tries to walk but falls over. Mitsuha's whole life flashes before his eyes: her birth, happy life with parents, the birth of a younger sister, the illness and death of a mother, the father's refusal to support the religious traditions of the family, Hitoha's quarrel with her son-in-law, the grandmother's care for her granddaughters, Mitsuha's death as a result of a comet fall.
Taki wakes up in Mitsuha's body. He understands that this is his last chance. In the evening, the comet is supposed to destroy the city. When Hitoha talks to her granddaughter, she realizes that someone else has moved into Mitsuha. Grandmother says that this happens from time to time in their family. Taki (Mitsuha) tells Hitoha about the comet, she thinks that no one will believe her granddaughter anyway. Taki meets with Mitsuha's friends, tells them about the impending danger. Katsuhiko and Sayaka find it hard to believe, but they are willing to help. Friends develop a plan. Katsuhiko intends to take explosives in the company of his father, mine the local substation. The explosion will disable the emergency warning system. Sayaka must go to the school's offline radio room and announce an emergency evacuation. People need to leave the epicenter of a future disaster, take refuge in the school building, which will be outside the affected area. Friends ask Mitsuha to convince her father, the mayor, of the seriousness of the threat.
Taki goes to the mayor. But he decides that his daughter has gone mad. Enraged, Taki lashes out at the mayor, grabbing his tie. Both suddenly freeze. The father doesn't understand. Mitsuha? Who are you? Taki meets Yotsuhu on the street. She says that yesterday her sister suddenly packed up and left for Tokyo. What's going on with you, Mitsuha? Taki thinks that Mitsuha is now in his body near the sacred cave. He hurries there.
Near the cave, Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's body. The city has disappeared. So I died then? Mitsuha remembers the day she went to Tokyo. She accidentally met Taki on the train, but he did not recognize her (for him, their relationship began three years after Mitsuha's death). Saddened, Mitsuha exits the train. But Taki feels something, he calls out to the girl. She asks him to remember her name. Mitsuha removes the ribbon from her hair and gives it to the young man. This ribbon, which Taki later wore on his wrist, becomes a connecting thread between their destinies.
Taki and Mitsuha finally end up in the same place an hour before dusk, when they, even separated in time, can see each other. Taki returns the ribbon to Mitsuha, offers to write each other's names on the palms so as not to forget them again. But with the onset of darkness, their connection is destroyed.
Taki wakes up in his body on the outskirts of the ruined Itomori. He does not remember why he came here, and forgot the name of the girl, thoughts about which haunt him. He goes home to Tokyo.
In the past, Mitsuha carries out Taki's plan. He and his friends blow up the substation, leaving the city without electricity. Sayaka announces from the school radio room that a Forest fires, the population of the city should take refuge in the school building. Some heed the warning, but many do not believe the threat is real. The mayor is trying to figure out where the unauthorized broadcast is coming from. Sayaka is discovered, broadcast stopped. Katsuhiko tells Mitsuho that the only hope for salvation is to convince his father that he is right. She runs to the mayor, but she is tormented by the thought that she has forgotten the name of the young man with whom she felt some kind of connection. She looks at her hand. But Taki instead of his name wrote on the palm of his hand: I love you. Mitsuha, all in tears, runs to her father. A meteorite separated from the comet falls on the city, destroying it.
Five years later. Taki graduated from high school and architecture college. He tries to find a job, goes to interviews. But his idealistic talk about how cities should be built so that buildings don't collapse in the event of natural disasters doesn't make potential employers want to hire a naive job seeker.
Taki calls Okudera, offers to meet. When they meet, she remembers their trip to Itomori. Taki says he doesn't remember what he did that day or why he was so obsessed with this town. But it turns out that the present has changed, because in the past Mitsuha still managed to convince his father of the reality of the threat. The city was destroyed, but the people did not die. The entire population was evacuated outside the area of the explosion caused by the fall of the meteorite. However, Taki has no idea that he has anything to do with preventing the tragedy and the girl he thus saved. Saying goodbye, Okudera wishes Taki to find his happiness. He says that he has been looking for him for many years, as if waiting for a meeting with someone.
At the diner, Taki overhears a young couple at a nearby table discussing their upcoming wedding. This is Sayaka and Katsuhiko, they also survived thanks to Taki and Mitsuha. For a moment, Taki feels a vague sense of belonging to the fate of these people, but brushes aside slurred thoughts.
Every day, on the streets of the city, Taki unconsciously searches through the eyes of girls whose hair is tied with a ribbon.
Finally, one day, Taki and Mitsuho see each other in different subway cars. They are not sure yet, but they feel that there is some kind of connection between them. Both get off the train, looking for each other in the crowd. Taki sees a girl coming up the stairs, he passes by. But she turns and starts to descend. This is Mitsuha. Taki can no longer endure this uncertainty. He asks if they have met before. The girl admits that she feels the same way. They simultaneously ask the question: “What is your name?” It remains to be hoped that Taki and Mitsuha will be able to remember everything and will now be together.

In the morning I open my eyes and for some reason cry. It happens to me. I can't remember that dream at all. Only... only... I remember that I lost something. This feeling does not leave me for a long time even during the day. I am always looking for something or someone.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
This feeling took over me for a long time. It must have been the day... the day the stars fell from the sky. It felt like I was in a wonderful dream. There are only two words in my head - indescribable beauty.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Threads weave and take shape. Twisted, tangled, sometimes unraveled, torn, but then intertwined again. This is Musubi, knot weaving. It's time itself.

Who are you? Why did I come here? To see her! Save her! I wanted her to live! But who? Who is this? Who did I want to see? Dear person whom I do not want to forget! Which must not be forgotten! But who? Whom? Whom? Whom? Your name?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
And you touched my chest!
Er... how did you know?
Yotsuha saw everything.
Ahh… sorry, couldn't help it. Yes, but only once
Only one? What difference does it make! Dunce!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
Of course we won't meet. But ... if it does work out, what should I do? Will he get angry or just be embarrassed? Or maybe... he'll be a little happy? Of course we won't meet. But ... I am sure of one thing: if we see each other, we will immediately understand that you lived by me, that I lived by you.
