Your Name Anime Movie Explained

Your Name Explained
SUBSCRIBE NOW to CBR! Click here: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-CBR
It has been heralded as the best selling anime internationally since Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away” and has taken the world by storm. Mokoto Shinkai’s hit 2016 film left people in tears and gave him international acclaim, taking the number one spot for highest-grossing anime film of all time, a title that is nothing less than daunting. The actual film tells the story Mitsuha and Taki, two ordinary highschoolers separated not only by distance but also by time. When a comet that only comes once every 1200 years appears for all the world to see, it sets off a chain of events that make the two unlikely teens into literal star crossed lovers.
Taki and Mitsuha switch bodies, Freaky Friday style, and come to learn more about one another and also fill a void each of them was searching for. They end up not only searching for the other person’s name but also, love. Of course, it is not as straightforward as it sounds. The two lead very different lives with Taki living in Tokyo and Mitsuha living in the country. The film also presents its narrative out of order and while it’s not a super-duper complex story, it will take a few watchings to fully grasp the plot. That is where we come in. In this video, we will be taking a deep dive into the plot and events of Your Name and talk more about the film’s impact and relevance.

[@brandonlin8300]

This is for those who are confused about the timeline: I'm sorta late to this but here's what happened. Mitsuha back in 2013, has not died yet. At that time, she does the ritual with the sake where she yells, "In my next life, I wanna be a handsome Tokyo boy". This triggers her to switch bodies with Taki. She keeps switching with him, but at the time, the Taki that she was switching with was in 2016 (3 years after her). Then she died due to the comet. However, before she died (rmbr this is still 2013), she meets Taki, who doesn't know her yet because he doesn't start switching bodies with her until 2016. When Taki does the body switching, he is switching with the Mitsuha of 2013. Therefore, he doesn't remember their interaction with Mitsuha on the train in 2013 (because he only starts switching bodies in 2016). When he travels to Itomori, he learns that she had died 3 years ago. But at that time, he was so in love and intrigued by the Mitsuha of 2013. The reason they were able to switch bodies was due to the bond that was between them. This bond is represented in the items of the sake (caused Mitsuha to switch bodies) and the red yarn thread (keeps their bond alive despite Mitsuha dying). However, when Taki finds out that Mitsuha died, their bond is severed again (because he doesn't rmbr the red yarn was from Mitsuha). This prompts him to search even farther for ways to connect this present him to the past Mitsuha. So he drinks the sake which is a thread between the past and the present. This causes him to go back in time to the Mitsuha before the comet. This also causes the past Mitsuha to be in Taki's body (as he was asleep in he cave). So at this point in the timeline, they are both in the same spot. As twilight/half-light occurred, their worlds blended. This causes them to meet each other. They are returned to their bodies where they meet each other. However, in order to exit the mountain/shrine they must leave behind the most important thing to themselves (this was according to Mitsuha's grandma). At this point, the memories of each other are the most important thing to Taki and Mitsuha. This means that in order for them to leave the mountain, they must forget each other (hence the reason why they tried to write their names down). They have now established a bond and this allows them to change time. The 2016 Taki will go on with his life without remembering why he was on that mountain. The 2013 Mitsuha will go on to save Itomori without remembering who wrote "I Love You" on her hand. And because Mitsuha doesn't die in 2013, she is now able to live on. Their timelines are now matched. Hence the reason why Mitsuha is actually older than Taki when they meet in 2022.

[@hqpfsa]

The only thing I'm confused abt is what time we're they in at the end and did mitsuha die or did they find a way to keep he from dying?

[@brandonlin8300]

@@hqpfsa So Mitsuha is 3 years older than Taki when they meet at the end of the series. This is because she won't die at 2013. Therefore, she lives on and will be in the same timeline as Taki. So basically, when Mitsuha is in highschool, it is in 2013. At this time, Taki was only in middle school. The reason we thought they were the same age was because the timelines were not the same (she was switching with the Taki in 2016 which is 3 years later). Hence the reason why she already has a job and Taki is fresh outa college looking for a job.

@@brandonlin8300 oh so how come she didn't die at the end what happened

[@cobalt7678]

For those who still don't understand ---- Mitsuha performs the ritual in 2013 ( at her shrine ). She wishes to be a handsome Tokyo boy in her next life. So, Mitsuha (from 2013) started switching bodies with Taki (from 2016). Then, one day before the meteor crashes in 2013, Mitsuha visits Tokyo to meet Taki but the year is 2013. She has been changing bodies with Taki from 2016. So, the Taki from 2013 doesn't recognise her. She leaves her ribbon with him and then returns to her town. The next day the meteor crashes, killing her. Fast-forward to 2016, Taki starts switching bodies with the 2013 Mitsuha because this has already happened. 2013 Mitsuha had switched bodies with 2016 Taki. So, in 2016, Taki begins experiencing the body swap. Then one day the body swap stops. That is the day the meter crashed in 2013. Exactly 3 years after, in 2016, Taki stops experiencing the body swap so he sets out to find her and then understands that she died in 2013. So, he goes to that place and finds the kuchikamizake left by Mitsuha in 2013. Do you remember it? It is part of the ritual in the shrine owned by Mitsuha's family. Then, he drinks it and it causes him to swap places with Mitusha from 2013 for the final time. He then tells her that a meteor is going to crash, then they plan everything and evacuate. Then, in 2021, 8 years have passed since the crash. But because they evacuated everyone, no one died and history was changed (originally 400 people had died). So, Mitsuha then lived in the town, grew up and moved to Tokyo where she met Taki again on the staircase. Understood?

Because I feel like a lot of the viewers including me left hanging at the end, like it feels so awkward for both of them having a relationship not knowing what they had to do from the past to achieve or have that feeling on one another.

I don’t really watch anime, but my friend recommended me this movie and it is one of the best movie I’ve seen

[@terrorazeing]

Same here. I have watched various animes when I was young, yes, but I'm not really fond of these anime movies reason why I just shrugged off and took a hard "pass" on Your Name last 2016 even though lots and lots of people were so hyped about it and even loved it so much. ...And then 2 years ago, I ran out of movies to watch. I thought of finally checking Your Name to see what the hype was all about. Jesus Christ, I was so ashamed of myself as to why I passed up on this film last 2016 😅 It was soooo beautiful! It even made me tear up lots of times lol which is a big deal coz usually I don't really get that emotional while watching films.

[@MiyukiiYT]

@@juliamayinao2053 Its taki from 2016

[@juliamayinao2053]

@@MiyukiiYT they're in different timelines, right? Mitsuhaya and Taki met on top of the mountain but after the twilight they return to their perspective timeline. If mitsuhaya was back in her timeline (2013) she would be alive with Taki in her timeline (the Taki who didn't know she exist by the time) . And on the other hand the Taki we see on the top of the mountain was back in his timeline (2016) where he no longer have mutsuhaya as his counterpart Coz in that timeline mitsuhaya died. So the Taki and mitsuhaya we saw in the ending(stair scene) is the Taki and mitsuhaya of 2013 . So in this timeline we have a saved mitsuhaya while on the other we don't.

No there is only one timeline why? Cause quantum physics its just like the end game both are saved

Wait, 12 years? The comet strike happened in October 2013 and the last scene occurs in early 2022 arguably 8 years later and a couple of months. Where do you get the 12 years?

"Your Name"- The heart touching ❤😢 and saddest part of this movie is when... Mitsuha going to meet Taki for the first time and she was so excited... After meeting on train, Taki refuse to know her... That scene and face of Mitsuha 🥺.... after seeing this scene I can't stop crying. 😢

[@merlindajayme7487]

It's kind of weird that this movie came out in 2016 and i just saw 2 things about this movie that was made just this week including this

[@ZakEmber]

I just watched it tonight for the first time. Taki waking up in Mitsuha's body on the final day after drinking the sake? Definitely my favorite part. There's something perfect about the moment where you realize everything *could* change. It's not guaranteed, but that glimmer of hope after some really depressing reveals kick starts the race to the end of the film to find out if they get a happy ending. I can't believe I hadn't heard about this movie till today... very sweet, very enjoyable, and you're right: it hits that right notes about longing and connection, not raw physical lust like most films. I'm so burned out on American films where it feels like that is all we ever see. The beauty of stepping into someone else's shoes, (literally!), and absorbing their life from the inside out was quirky fun, but also a wonderful way to see the beauty of who that person is.

[@yessysroses]

this video brought back tears that I had when I first watched this movie four years ago

One of the very few movies that actually made me cry. Masterfully written and animated

The After-story of Your Name is Weathering with You, its not about the story of Taki and Hitsuma, but it happens in the same Universe where they both experienced the phenomenon, there are alot of Your Name cameos/easter eggs in Weathering with You, Taki and Hitsuma both appears in the movie talking to the mc of the movie.

[@frixionistash1330]

you made me more confused than I was when I watched this movie.

[@acreation831]

No matter how many times I watch it, I'm still confused.

[@brandonlin8300]

I'm sorta late to this but here's what happened. Mitsuha back in 2013, has not died yet. At that time, she does the ritual with the sake where she yells, "In my next life, I wanna be a handsome Tokyo boy". This triggers her to switch bodies with Taki. She keeps switching with him, but at the time, the Taki that she was switching with was in 2016 (3 years after her). Then she died due to the comet. However, before she died (rmbr this is still 2013), she meets Taki, who doesn't know her yet because he doesn't start switching bodies with her until 2016. When Taki does the body switching, he is switching with the Mitsuha of 2013. Therefore, he doesn't remember their interaction with Mitsuha on the train in 2013 (because he only starts switching bodies in 2016). When he travels to Itomori, he learns that she had died 3 years ago. But at that time, he was so in love and intrigued by the Mitsuha of 2013. The reason they were able to switch bodies was due to the bond that was between them. This bond is represented in the items of the sake (caused Mitsuha to switch bodies) and the red yarn thread (keeps their bond alive despite Mitsuha dying). However, when Taki finds out that Mitsuha died, their bond is severed again (because he doesn't rmbr the red yarn was from Mitsuha). This prompts him to search even farther for ways to connect this present him to the past Mitsuha. So he drinks the sake which is a thread between the past and the present. This causes him to go back in time to the Mitsuha before the comet. This also causes the past Mitsuha to be in Taki's body (as he was asleep in he cave). So at this point in the timeline, they are both in the same spot. As twilight/half-light occurred, their worlds blended. This causes them to meet each other. They are returned to their bodies where they meet each other. However, in order to exit the mountain/shrine they must leave behind the most important thing to themselves (this was according to Mitsuha's grandma). At this point, the memories of each other are the most important thing to Taki and Mitsuha. This means that in order for them to leave the mountain, they must forget each other (hence the reason why they tried to write their names down). They have now established a bond and this allows them to change time. The 2016 Taki will go on with his life without remembering why he was on that mountain. The 2013 Mitsuha will go on to save Itomori without remembering who wrote "I Love You" on her hand. And because Mitsuha doesn't die in 2013, she is now able to live on. Their timelines are now matched. Hence the reason why Mitsuha is actually older than Taki when they meet in 2022.

[@SmileyHeartsCafferyLynn]

I think one of the loopholes in the plot is that Taki/Mitsuha never realises that it's three years in the past/future when initially switching bodies. I'm assuming Mitsuha had a clear shot at knowing because Taki had a smartphone, which has a clock. Even the fact that they wrote diaries for each other. It would contain the date of the given day. That would've easily revealed the time difference.

We watched this tonight as a family movie. Was not expecting what we saw. Was blown away. Haven’t been that moved by a movie in a good while.

[@doctorstrange5126]

2 points: 1. The gap wasn't 12 years, it was 8 from the comet, 5 for Taki. The comet was 2013 as shown in the newspaper, the movie release was in 2016, and 5 years later (as specified in the movie) would be this year - 2021. Yet no masks... 2. The "red string of fate" or "unmei no akai ito" is a very old idea in Eastern mythology, where people are bound to one another by fate to meet.

[@patluvsvettes]

I still say that this is the best anime ever made! I've watched a lot of anime, and I've yet to find one that is better than Your Name. No matter how many times I watch it, I still tear up at the end. My bucket list is to one day visit the Suga Shrine Stairs.
