  I love that the film opens with Taki and Mitsuha as adults, talking about how they both feel like they've lost something important. This helps the audience to get into the same headspace as the characters, since we also don't know what they've lost.

  The reason why taki write "i love you" instead of his name is because in japanese forclore, they say time can take off your memories, but not your feelings... Thats why, they always know like they are searching for something

  I remember hearing someone say "Miyazaki makes the magical feel like the everyday while Shinkai makes the everyday feel magical" and I think this film is a great example of that.

  Your Name is a classic. It's truly amazing how anime can change people's perspectives and affect their lives. I wish I could erase my memory and watch this movie again.

  Glad you Nick liked this movie! A cool note about the sharpie-handwriting scene: <br> <br>Taki wrote &quot;すきだ&quot; (I love you) and Mitsuha wasn&apos;t able to finish writing her name...but she actually wasn&apos;t going to write her name in the first place. You can see that in Taki&apos;s hand is a long horizontal stroke which isn&apos;t how you would start &quot;みつは”, the first stroke is short and to the left. You could argue that she was going for &quot;三葉&quot; which is the Kanji equivalent but its unreasonable to write the second character in what would presumably be a short time. <br> <br>In other words, she was actually going to write something else that starts with a long horizontal stroke...There&apos;s not many characters that fit this bill, depending on your handwriting style, but the character す will always start with a long horizontal line in any handwritten form. Which means that she was probably intending to write &quot;すき&quot; (I love you) herself. 10/10 moment.

  I love how this movie depicted the concept of &quot;dream&quot; so well. When you dream, sometimes, you forget almost immediately when you wake up. Despite how hard you try to still remember it, it will fade away easily. Interestingly, it&apos;s not impossible that we might have done something important in our dream, but we just forget it

  When I first saw it I cried for more than an hour... And idk why, right when I stopped crying I rewatched it 7 more times and was crying every time... I love this...

  Taki&apos;s voice actor is the person who played the main character in the GODZILLA MINUS ONE.

  Your Name is my favorite anime movie of all time. Such a heartbreaking, yet beautiful romance story. Truly a masterpiece.

  They couldn&apos;t carve their names on each other&apos;s, but even if they forgot everything, the feeling of &quot;I love you&quot; never went away, no matter how long it took.<br>Great movie and great reactions👍
