First question: probably because she was not important to him at the time. Also, it's confusing due to the time travel, but she saw him relatively recently (a day before the comet hits) than he saw her (it was three years ago for him).

Second question: she disappeared since twilight was over. Earlier in the film it was said that twilight was a special time, and it was revealed they could only see each other in the twilight. Once the sun set, she disappeared from the guys point of view (the POV of the audience).

HELP I CANT SLEEP ON THESE QUESTIONS! If theres anyone out there who knows the anwsers to these questions, please tell me! I beg you i cant sleep. Thank you!


Question 1: Does anyone know why Taki wrote "I love you" instead of his name which he told Mitsuha that they should write thier names on eachothers hand so they wont forget after they wake up(after twilight)?

Question 2: why couldnt Taki remember Mitsuha's name all of a sudden after repeating her name 4 times?

Question 3: Why did they cry unintentionally(since they questioned themselves in the movie on why they are crying)

Taki was being a romantic. Kinda stupid, but I guess it's the thought that counts...? Guess he didn't know that the window of opportunity lasted so short.

DexterKwan said:

This is only a hunch, but there's the part they mention that "to enter the underworld, you have to give up something important". I guess the implication is that whatever is causing the time travelling shenanigans was taking their memories of each other as payment for Taki "going to the underworld" aka going to the rock shrine.

DexterKwan said:

Mitsuha(as Taki) was crying because the day before that, she(as herself) had unknowingly visited Tokyo to see Taki. Of course, Taki didn't recognize her at all then, so she could've just cried herself to sleep and woke up to crying again.

My memory's fuzzy, but as for Taki(as Mitsuha) crying, it's right after the grandma tells her "you're dreaming aren't you?". That's probably reason enough.(?) That, or she kinda remembers her trip to Tokyo and failing miserably to get Taki's attention.

Question 1: Makoto Shinkai is famous for leaving things answered so I think it's purposely up for interpretation. Kind of similar to what Barrys said about being "Romantic" - its mentioned that "Kataware doki" is ending soon and where Taki and Mitsuha won't be able to interact once it's over so I like to think he does it because he wants her to know he loves her more than remembering his name.

Question 2: When I watched the film, the whole reason I thought Taki and Mitsuha were able to switch bodies was purposely to save Mitsuha and the town from the comet. They exist in the timeline where the comet killed everyone and only once they switched bodies after Taki drinks the musubi (and therefore made Mitsuha aware of what was about to happen) a alternate timeline was created. So this newly created timeline starts after the Kataware Doki (after they lose the connection) therefore there was never the need to swaps bodies with Mitsuha, so they started and eventually forgot each other.

I also really like this explanation, but then doesn't account for why Okudera and Tsutomu didn't remember anything either.

As to the third question I'm not really sure what specific part you're talking about time there's a couple times in the movie where they question why they're crying.

For the 3rd question, the time they were crying was when for Taki, after waking up when Mitsuha's grandma realised he was dreaming and he questioned himself why he was crying. For Mitsuha, it was when she was about to head to school, then unintentionally cried and questioned herself why she cried the decided to head to Tokyo.

I like to interpret that the reason why Taki and Mitsuha forgot each other's name was because they paid a "toll fee" to "travel through the underworld". The shrine god gave them the opportunity to meet; however, in return, it took the most important thing for the both of them - their names.

And why is it their names? It's because it's the most important thing when you body-swapped in someone else's body. It's their only connection.

4 means death in some beliefs. So probably after the 4th time Taki called her named, "death" came and he had forgotten about her name at that moment.

Also, the reason why Taki doesn't recognize Mitsuha was because Past Mitsuha visited Past Taki who have yet to know her through body-swapping a day before the incident. During his search for her, Present Taki, who already undergone body-swapping only remembered a weird girl had given him a cord 3 years ago. In the same timeline, Present Mitsuha was already dead.

That's why only Mitsuha can recognize him and Taki can't. We are actually viewing the past events (Mitsuha's) and present (Taki's) at the same time. They were body-swapping not only through dreaming but also through time (3 years difference).

When Taki drank the sake made from the rice puked by Mitsuha, a new timeline was 'born'. Heard that baby crying? I think it's cue for a divergence.

This is how I understand and interpret the story. Feel free to digest my own words...or not.

Mitsuha cried because she was heartbroken, she went to see taki in tokyo only to find out he doesn't recognize her the day before and then when she thinks about taki going on a date with okudera it really hurt her. She questioned why she cried because she didn't realized that she has fallen in love with taki.
Taki cried because I guess he realized that the relationship he has with mitsuha feels only like a dream and not a reality. Perhaps he also realizes that he's fallen in love with mitsuha but is unable to actually be with her.

Sup guys, I'm still thinking on this but you guys probably know the answer. After Mitsuha disappeared saving her timeline and all. Nearing at the end of the movie both of them spotted each other on the train and got to see each other. Who's timeline was that? Which Taki did she see the Taki from her timeline or the Taki from the other or vice versa ? If so did Taki prevention of the wide death of the past affect his timeline where Mitsuha is alive?

Mitsuha saving the village creating a new timeline/universe where itomori ppl are alive. So she saw the taki in this new timeline. Not sure if thats what you're looking for?

Wow, thank you guys so much. So Mitsuha knew Taki in the train because she went into the future. Being in the actual timeline she went to a Taki which has not experienced that time travel. So Mitsuha visited a different Taki (the one from Mitsuhas presence). If she would have met Taki from 3 years after the accident, he for sure would have know her, but well.. we know hat happened to Mitsuha.

They cant remember each others name because it was a the price they had to pay for going to the underworld. That sounds pretty good. They have fallen in love and each others name was the only hint they have got. So it was the most precious thing of them. After turning time back they had to give the memories away.

But I am wondering:
Before Taki turned back time he already has forgotten Mitsuhas name. At first he still remembered being in her body and remembered the entries in his mobile phone. But slowly he has forgotten. How does it come? Also the mobile entries disappeared. Is that so because Mitsuhas died? But then why was he able to remember in the first place? Theres something wrong somehow, but I cant figure it out.

Second question:

Why did Mitsuhas cut her hair? It somehow seemed to be important for the story, but I still cant figure it out!


Thanks for the reply :)
My only regret is having regrets!

the mitsuha timeline is happening in 2013 and the taki timeline is happening in 2016. so when she went to see him in tokyo and gave him the piece of string, it was 2013, which is 3 years before taki could possibly recognize her. he mentions it on the mountain, and that he's had the string for 3 years.

remember the year difference. when they are searching for each other on the mountain, taki is in mitsuha's body in 2013, and she is in his body in 2016. twilight allows them to see and interact with each other because it's a magical time that is "neither day or night". it also put them both back into their own bodies, because magic, i guess.

as she begins to write her name in his palm, twilight ends and its magic ends. so the pen drops to the ground and they are once again each alone on the mountain, mitsuha in 2013 and taki in 2016.

There is my question :
1) Is really the situation when taki and his friends at library researching about Itomori was Taki's dream? Is mitsuha name on the victim's list book also doesn't exist? Why did he said he forget mitsuha's name after doing research at library??
2) Why all message and information that mitsuha write on Taki's phone was fade away?
3) Is really his grandma see Taki over Mitsuha's body??

I have questions too.

If Mitsuha's body switch with Taki happened in 2013, how did Taki in 2016 body switch with Mitsuha when she's already dead? Or is Taki diary's scripted to appear what Mitsuha wrote down in 2013 when she body switched with Taki? I mean 2013 Mitsuha and 2016 Taki can't be happening at the same time right?

1) Their research on Itomori wasn't a dream. That memory still exists in the Taki now. He forgotten Mitsuha's name because they got the chance to meet and talk to each other during twilight and they had to give something valuable to them and it was their knowledge of each other's names. All Taki remembers now is his trip with his friends to the destroyed Itomori and waking up a mountain (after Taki and Mitsuha both met during twilight).

2) I'm guessing the reason is because he realized that Mitsuha's dead? Before that the messages didn't fade away because Taki (2016) assumed Mitsuha was alive and living in Itomori.

Hi, Why does it states everywhere that the movie starts off one month after a comet has fallen? For Mitsuha isn't it a month BEFORE? And for Taki isn't it 3 months AFTER? Thanks!

The movie starts 8 years after the comet had fallen (the scene where you see Mitsuha on the train at the beginning), then they show the flashback of what Taki did in order to save Mitsuha.

Okay apparently I watched the movie again and I realized before Mitsuha's grandma realized that Taki was in Mitsuha's body, Yotsuha said that it was nearly kataware-doki (twilight), so it must have been later on during twilight when her grandma realized that. You can also see Taki's sort of "soul" after her grandma said that to her (Taki). Her grandma also said she had experience body switching with someone in her early age and felt that Mitsuha wasn't herself.

I have also found the reason why Mitsuha was crying while she was tying up her hair. She was in Taki's body the previous day and planned the date with Miki Okudera. She probably expected that she would be in Taki's body and actually go on the date with Miki as Mitsuha (as she said "I wanted to go on this date, but if it so happens that you end up going, you better enjoy it!" She also didn't realize she had fallen in love with Taki and was disappointed as Taki as himself got to go out on a date with Miki.

So she decided to skip school on the next day to go to Tokyo after planning that date, to find Taki himself, but Taki did not recognize her at that time, because it was 3 years ago before Taki's body switch with Mitsuha. Hence, she went back to Itomori a day before the festival (the day when Tessie called her because she didn't went to school) and asked her grandma to cut her hair short due to her feeling broken hearted that Taki did not recognize her, and having no tie to tie her hair with because she gave her tie to Taki on the train.

Taki forgot most of what happened also. He remembers that the comet striking the town was something that was really important to him once but he doesn't remember why. He just knows he woke up on the mountain in the morning but not what he was doing there. He feels like he's looking for something related to that but doesn't know what. When he sees Mitsuha on the train, then he remembers he was looking for someone, and she's the someone.

I know I'm super late but I recently watched the anime "Your Name" and I do not understand how everyone survived the comment after they tried to evacuate everyone. I mean right before the comet breaks off, the girl in the radio room is caught and the police told everyone not to evacuate please explain.

1. Why did Mitsuha in Taki's body date Okudera?

2. When they had switched their body, they always wake up after, but what are they doing before switching? One time by Mitsuha's grandmother telling "Mitsuha are you dreaming right now" did switching happen? Taki woke up in his body, but what about Mitsuha body standing and hearing grandmother?

And I have a question of something that didn't happen, I want to know what could have happened if so.
3. A day before disaster Mitsuha went to Tokyo to see Taki, what if Taki in Mitsuha's body had tried going to Tokyo to see Mitsuha in his body? Taki in Mitsuha's body would have met himself in his own body? Were there two Taki in 2013?

Question 3: Why did they cry unintentionally(since they questioned themselves in the movie on why they are crying)






I don't know if you have already an answer to these questions but I still want to answer based on what I learn

Question no.1: I'm sure Taki is aware of them forgetting each others name so that's why he suggested that but instead he wrote I love you but that's a good move because if he wrote his name instead when the twilight disappears and Mitsuha forget about everything and just saw the name written on her palm,she will just not make sense out of it because she will still not remember about everything,she will just get confuse on who is that?..but because he wrote I love you,she will know deep in her soul that there is someone out there who loves her.It's just him being romantic,as same as Mitsuha,she was supposed to write" I love you " too right?It's just their instinct I guess.

Question No.2: The answer about leaving something important before going back to physical world is also right and that was their memories of each other taken by Musubi and also he forgot Mitsuha's name because he already gave the red string that he kept for 3 years back to Mitsuha which is also one thing that connects them that's why back then when Taki was in a date with Okudera,he was wearing it so he was able to still read the messages that she leaves in his cellphone even after waking up the morning before the date,he found himself crying..that's because by the time he went to offer the Kuchikamizake to musubi,he only offers the half of Mitsuha but in real,he didn't offer anything so Musubi takes away the connection between them(that's what he offers in return without him being aware).That's the reason why he wakes up crying without him knowing the reason why after returning to being Taki again,because he felt unconsciously that he lost something .

Question no.3 : I think I've already said why Taki cried unintentionally so my point of view about why Mitsuha cried that day before she go to Tokyo to see Taki who was 14 years old that time and still don't know her was because she was heartbroken knowing that Taki would be in a date with Okudera in year 2016 which she assumes was 2013 because maybe she's already in love with him that time and that was the reason why she decided to go to Tokyo but she was brokenhearted again when she met him but he didn't know her that's why she decided to cut her hair.One way for a girl take as a sign of moving on and taking away the pain

3. A day before disaster Mitsuha went to Tokyo to see Taki, what if Taki in Mitsuha's body had tried going to Tokyo to see Mitsuha in his body? Taki in Mitsuha's body would have met himself in his own body? Were there two Taki in 2013?





1.Did you mean the official date??Mitsuha said in the note she left on Taki's cellphone that she wanted to go on the date with Okudera herself but they switch bodies in that time so Taki was the one who really dated Okudera that time...so when you're saying that Mitsuha dated Okudera in Taki's body,I think you're referring to them being close,?...that Taki with Mitsuha's soul was close to Okudera,??...maybe because Okudera appreciate Taki's femine side and different personality which was really Mitsuha that time

2.You see at first,they're really not aware that they were really switching their bodies ,they just thought that they were just dreaming living other's life but because of the people around them from their real lives confirming that they don't act normal and also the notes they're leaving in their arms,cellphone or notebooks,they really confirmed that they're really switching.About when her grandmother asked if she was dreaming right now,that's the time when she unconsciously asked her little sister about the comet which she was supposed to know because that was always shown in news so her grandmother got confused on why she doesn't know(and that's because by that time they went to Musubi,Taki was in Mitsuha's body and Taki in the 2016 don't know about the comet since it already happened 3 years ago)...The one you're saying about Taki waking up was I think when the time he unconsciously cries,that was the time when he already return to his own body after going to Musubi to offer the wine.,that day was also the time when the comet will hit Itomori during the night after his date with Okudera and the last communication he will have with Mitsuha and also the last time they will switch bodies because Mitsuha will already die that night.


3.The mitsuha who visited Tokyo was in year 2013 so I think it's impossible that she can go to the world of 2016 and visit the Taki of 2016 unless there's a twilight.Taki in 2013 and Taki in 2016 have different perspective since he still don't know Mitsuha in 2013

That day when she was crying in front of the mirror was also the day of Taki's date with Okudera(Taki in year 2016) which was set up by her,she was crying unconsciously because she realized that she is jealous and she's already in love with Taki,maybe it's only her subconscious saying that she's in love with him so instead of going to school,she go to Tokyo to see him and his reaction if he see her but unfortunately she was in year 2013 wherein Taki still don't know her because she is switching with the Taki in 2016,so she felt heartbroken when he didn't recognized her so that's also the reason why she told her grandmother to cut her hair.

I know I'm super late but I recently watched the anime "Your Name" and I do not understand how everyone survived the comment after they tried to evacuate everyone. I mean right before the comet breaks off, the girl in the radio room is caught and the police told everyone not to evacuate please explain.


I think Mitsuha was able to convince her father to evacuate the people and since he is in power,everyone already listen to him unlike when Mitsuha and Tessie were the one convincing the people so all people unite and tried their best to reach the school which is a safe zone...and it is only fictional so I think it's normal that things are sometimes exaggerated

Wow, thank you guys so much. So Mitsuha knew Taki in the train because she went into the future. Being in the actual timeline she went to a Taki which has not experienced that time travel. So Mitsuha visited a different Taki (the one from Mitsuhas presence). If she would have met Taki from 3 years after the accident, he for sure would have know her, but well.. we know hat happened to Mitsuha.

They cant remember each others name because it was a the price they had to pay for going to the underworld. That sounds pretty good. They have fallen in love and each others name was the only hint they have got. So it was the most precious thing of them. After turning time back they had to give the memories away.

But I am wondering:
Before Taki turned back time he already has forgotten Mitsuhas name. At first he still remembered being in her body and remembered the entries in his mobile phone. But slowly he has forgotten. How does it come? Also the mobile entries disappeared. Is that so because Mitsuhas died? But then why was he able to remember in the first place? Theres something wrong somehow, but I cant figure it out.

Second question:

Why did Mitsuhas cut her hair? It somehow seemed to be important for the story, but I still cant figure it out!


Thanks for the reply :)


Do you remember when Taki in Mitsuha's body came to Musubi to offer the Kuchikamizake,he brought the half of Mitsuha's soul so in short Mitsuha was the only one who offered something to Musubi, so unknowingly he offered his connection to Mitsuha or the best way to say it is that Musubi take away his connection to her(because they can't leave underworld and go to physical world without leaving anything) so that's why the next day when Taki already return to his own body that morning before his date with Okudera that was set up by Mitsuha,he find himself unconsciously crying because his soul knew that his connection with her was severed but he can still read the notes she leave in his phone that day during his date with Okudera,that's because he was wearing the red string that he was keeping for 3 years already,their connection that is done by the God of match making Tsukuyomi)Mitsuha's grandma has an explanation about that string(Kumihimo theory).Tsukoyomi was the God of match making that gives the power to the string but Musubi's power will sometimes overpower the chord and memories of Mitsuha would fade so I think that's why he sometimes forget her even when he was still in the inn when the day before that he knew her name .


second question:
Mitsuha told her grandmother to cut her hair because that was the time when she return back from Tokyo when she went there to see Taki but because she didn't know that they were in different timeline,the one she met was the Taki from 2013 who still doesn't know her since she's switching body to the Taki who was 17 years old in year 2016.I think she's been heartbroken that time when Taki didn't recognized her and also adding to her heartbreak was she knew that Taki was dating Okudera.(but that's in year 2016 and Taki of 17 years old)...Cutting hair is also one way for girls in moving on even in my country.

Sorry I am bad in explaining so I hope you understand

1. Why did Mitsuha in Taki's body date Okudera?

2. When they had switched their body, they always wake up after, but what are they doing before switching? One time by Mitsuha's grandmother telling "Mitsuha are you dreaming right now" did switching happen? Taki woke up in his body, but what about Mitsuha body standing and hearing grandmother?

And I have a question of something that didn't happen, I want to know what could have happened if so.
3. A day before disaster Mitsuha went to Tokyo to see Taki, what if Taki in Mitsuha's body had tried going to Tokyo to see Mitsuha in his body? Taki in Mitsuha's body would have met himself in his own body? Were there two Taki in 2013?





1.Did you mean the official date??Mitsuha said in the note she left on Taki's cellphone that she wanted to go on the date with Okudera herself but they switch bodies in that time so Taki was the one who really dated Okudera that time...so when you're saying that Mitsuha dated Okudera in Taki's body,I think you're referring to them being close,?...that Taki with Mitsuha's soul was close to Okudera,??...maybe because Okudera appreciate Taki's femine side and different personality which was really Mitsuha that time

2.You see at first,they're really not aware that they were really switching their bodies ,they just thought that they were just dreaming living other's life but because of the people around them from their real lives confirming that they don't act normal and also the notes they're leaving in their arms,cellphone or notebooks,they really confirmed that they're really switching.About when her grandmother asked if she was dreaming right now,that's the time when she unconsciously asked her little sister about the comet which she was supposed to know because that was always shown in news so her grandmother got confused on why she doesn't know(and that's because by that time they went to Musubi,Taki was in Mitsuha's body and Taki in the 2016 don't know about the comet since it already happened 3 years ago)...The one you're saying about Taki waking up was I think when the time he unconsciously cries,that was the time when he already return to his own body after going to Musubi to offer the wine.,that day was also the time when the comet will hit Itomori during the night after his date with Okudera and the last communication he will have with Mitsuha and also the last time they will switch bodies because Mitsuha will already die that night.


3.The mitsuha who visited Tokyo was in year 2013 so I think it's impossible that she can go to the world of 2016 unless there's a twilight.Taki in 2013 and Taki in 2016 have different perspective since he still don't know Mitsuha in 2013


1. I mean if the whole story never had happened, Taki probably wouldn't have dated Okudera. Why did Mitsuha in Taki's body go after a girl (Okudera) and set up a date?, while Taki in Mitsuha's body made both a girl and boy confessing. I thought maybe Mitsuha is a little homo.

2. This didn't answer anything. After grandmother's question, Taki returned to his own body, what did happen to Mitsuha's body standing in front of grandmother? there can be 3 possibilities that I want to know which it is.
I. Soulless Mitsuha's body in front of grandmother which is impossible.
II. Mitsuha returning to her own body which it makes a switching without waking up of after it, for Mitsuha.
III. Nothing (That world had ended after switching)

3. In this question I had nothing to do with 2016. Taki had switched and he is in Mitsuha's body (in 2013) and there is also real Taki in his body in Tokyo (in 2013). Now you have two Takis in 2013, what would have happened if Taki in Mitsuha's body had went to Tokyo to see himself (in 2013).

1.In my perspective only,Mitsuha being a homo didn't came to my mind.I don't know if Mitsuha know the time when they will be switching bodies so setting up a date was just an excuse to help Taki made the first move to date her since she knew that he has a crush on Okudera,so when she said in the note she leave at Taki's cellphone that if they didn't switch bodies,she would want to be the one to go to that date,I think that's only an excuse too because why would she feel jealous knowing that Taki will be on a date that time?..that also made her cry unconsciously and made her go to Tokyo to see him as Taki himself not only his body ...as if Okudera is the reason why she wants to go to Tokyo..???

While in Taki's situation being in Mitsuha's body...both girl and boy end up confessing maybe because when Taki is in her body,boys find her more attractive and cool being able to play basketball smoothly as same as the girls perspective...maybe the aura of her being feminine outside and boyish movement make her attractive in both gender..sorry that's only my opinion.

2.I have a feeling that the movie didn't fully show the whole event when they were already switching bodies.I really think that there was a specific time of them switching bodies,maybe when they were sleeping so that next morning they're already back to their own bodies..so the best thing to say was Taki in Mitsuha's body still came back to their house with her grandmother and Yotsuha and the time they sleep where the switching occurs.I've read that the director of it Makoto Shinkai was known for leaving things unanswered so you will be the one to make your own interpretations.Actually I've also watched a video about "Everything wrong with Kimi No Nawa" so I can't completely say that everything I say match cause the movie itself has also mistakes

3.For what I understand,Mitsuha(from 2013 who is 17 years old) and Taki(in 2016 who is also 17 years old) believe that both of them were living in the same year as they are(2013 for Mitsuha ) and( 2016 for Taki). What they didn't know was it was an event between past and future,that's the reason why when Mitsuha went to Tokyo(2013) to see Taki,Taki didn't know her yet but because Taki has the red string(in year 2016 that he kept for 3 years) he was able to ask her,her name because they already have a connection because of that string (because of the God of matchmaking TSUKOYOMI)...

sorry if my answer was confusing but your 3rd question is also confusing me because Taki in 2013 is only one..These events of having two worlds was because of Musubi,actually I didn't know a lot because in order to fully understand why it happened we need to know and be familiarize with the religion SHINTO.

Anyone else noticed that Mitsuha and Taki did not notice they were 3 years apart while they were body switching being a little unusual?

I don't mind giving them the benefit of the doubt for not checking the year but the days of the week would have been different. September 9th, 2016 is a Friday while 2013 is a Monday.

If they were going down the time travel/time difference route and have the characters not notice. At the very least have the days of the week be the same. Make it 5-6 year gap (depending on leap years).

I don't mind adding the time difference, time travel plot twist (part way through it reminded me of "The Lake House" Movie). At the very least make it consistent or logical with the calendar. I just find it as a weird oversight that a regular person would've noticed.

Just a little nitpick of mine, I did enjoy the movie overall.

1. So Mitsuha set the date for Taki? Mitsuha once shouted a wish to be reborn as Tokyo ikemen. Like she wanted to go to a cafe and did it for herself, I can say setting up the date could have been for herself as a Tokyo ikemen. It isn't definitely homo but it sounds like and is not noticeable. It's just more because of girls feeling and do not making it distracting for audience. Like a guy or a girl getting harm in basketball and Taki in Mitsuha's body helping him is distracting and also he can't do it if it's for another guy, But getting Okudera's clothes torn up and she sewing it can happen. Even if Okudera were a guy, this couldn't work too. This makes the most normal situation, for girl to girl relation.

2. Ok this looks good

3. I know, Mitsuha never found because the comet fell down and Taki found after checking Mitsuha's town. When they were switched there were two Taki in 2013 and just one Mitsuha in 2016 and no Taki in 2016. So Taki in Mitsuha's body (in 2013) could have met the original Taki in 2013 if he had went to Tokyo. (by the way if one of them were for example an otaku, they would find about time difference.)

4. (New question) At beginning, Mitsuha waking up and boob play and surprisingly seeing herself in the mirror was Taki? But down there at breakfast grandmother said you're normal today, is she still Taki?

4. (New question) At beginning, Mitsuha waking up and boob play and surprisingly seeing herself in the mirror was Taki? But down there at breakfast grandmother said you're normal today, is she still Taki?



1.I think so that she really set it up in purpose because I think she already have feelings for him subconsciously and she wanted him to be happy but at the end of the day she didn't notice that she is already hurting herself,one proof is she suddenly cried thinking at the back of her mind that she's in love with him but she's giving him to someone else.That triggered her to go to Tokyo. I'm not really familiar about a girl to girl relationship so maybe I can't understand Mitsuha's perspective because what I'm thinking was she just shouted that she wanted to be a boy in her next life because she doesn't want her life as a shrine maiden (which I believe is a duty of a girl).She find it embarrassing when her classmates saw her spitting the rice which she find uncomfortable so she came to a wish to be a boy then,her dream to live in Tokyo makes it more sound like she wanted to be a Tokyo boy.If she will become a boy,she don't have to do all the duties of a shrine maiden anymore and just live a normal city life.

3.Do you mean the switching after Taki drank the kuchikamizake?Come to think of it,I realized that's possible,never think of it until you said about it,but there will be no more time anymore since the main reason why Taki wanted to come back to year 2013 was to be able to save Mitsuha and Itomori ..Are you perhaps thinking that if Taki in Mitsuha's body has the chance to meet Taki himself in his original body in 2013,she could have told himself about Mitsuha and why didn't he remember her when they met at the train?then the story might be change?and at the very start he will already know that they're living in different years?...but it would be more complicated for the original Taki in 2013 since at the beginning of the movie I remember him saying when he was watching the comet in 2013 when he still didn't know Mitsuha, for him it was just a BEAUTIFUL VIEW.How ironic that he didn't know that the Beautiful view he was looking at will have a big impact on his life.


4.That's one of the movie mistakes I noticed or I don't know if it's only Yotsuha who have a hobby of not changing clothes the next day but I believed that it's Taki because why would he(Taki in Mitsuha's body) be surprised to see himself in a mirror when the dress was off,The next scene it was ALREADY Mitsuha in school uniform going to eat breakfast then her grandmother ask her if she was back to normal,I guess it's a different day already because she was surprised why will her grandma asked that and even her friends find her weird the other day.
Did you also noticed during the first scene when Taki in Mitsuha's body was shocked to see himself in the mirror in that way,we can assume that Mitsuha was also in Taki's body that time as she was already saying to her friends that she felt like she was in a dream and living somebody's life(Mitsuha was saying this to her friends the same day when her grandmother asked her if she was normal)
Then suddenly the next scene was Mitsuha in Taki's body but it seems like it's still her first time to be in his body and first time to see Tokyo. That scene happen after the day she shouted that she wanted to be a Tokyo boy in her next life wherein she already told her friends that she already experienced that she's like dreaming and living somebody's life already.Meaning she already told her friends that she felt like dreaming and living somebody's life even if it's still not happening yet.

Makoto Shinkai himself said in an interview that he also find the movie incomplete and told the people to stop watching it maybe because he also find a lot of mistakes and things that makes no sense at all but for me I think it's still a great movie so I will still watch it again.

I have a question.Thanks to anyone here who can give me time to answer.

1.After the twilight,they switch bodies again and return to their normal bodies right?..so it is already in Mitsuha's hand to be able to save the people..but why did she know the plan with Teshi and Sayaka,did Taki mentioned it when they were in the crater,and also why did she know that Taki broke the bike and at the first place why did she know that Taki in her body borrowed a bike from Teshi?

2.When Mitsuha and Teshi were already telling the people to evacuate,Mitsuha suddenly cried because she already can't remember his name,Did she already forgot that it's written in her palm so why not take a look,and then when she stumble down because of running fast to tell her father about what's really happening,when she open her hand,she saw the word "I love you" then cried and said "How can I know your name with this?"Is she still aware of what happened in the crater,It's just that she doesn't remember whom did she talk to.At first when they already switched bodies after the twilight,did she even remember that she was supposed to write something in Taki's hand.?

3.When the twilight is finished and they return to their own year,isn't it supposed that they will just not see each other anymore but they're still in the crater?..after that Mitsuha just disappeared then suddenly already running back to the town.

4.Why did Okudera and Tsukasa also forgot what happened when they went to find Itomori but they knew that they went there?

1.That's because the grandma got confused on why she didn't know about the comet when Yotsuha talked about it.(Of course he wouldn't know about the comet because he live in 2016 and he still don't know that at that moment he is in 2013)


2.When Taki was in Mitsuha's body before he wakes up crying,they went to the altar to offer the kuchikamizake right?....and that was half of Mitsuha,they said that before you can go back to the physical world,you need to leave something important to you...In Mitsuha's part she was the one who leave that something important and not Taki,but because he was the one in her body,Musubi need to take something from him too and that was his connection to Mitsuha.On the day when he wakes up crying,that's because subconsciously he felt that his connection with her was in severe,but because he was wearing the red string from her,he still able to read the notes from Mitsuha during his date with Okudera(thanks to the God of matchmaking Tsukuyomi.)

Mitsuha was crying in front of the mirror because he was hurt thinking that Taki is in a date that day so instead of going to school that morning,she decided to go to Tokyo to see him.

Anyone else noticed that Mitsuha and Taki did not notice they were 3 years apart while they were body switching being a little unusual?

I don't mind giving them the benefit of the doubt for not checking the year but the days of the week would have been different. September 9th, 2016 is a Friday while 2013 is a Monday.

If they were going down the time travel/time difference route and have the characters not notice. At the very least have the days of the week be the same. Make it 5-6 year gap (depending on leap years).

I don't mind adding the time difference, time travel plot twist (part way through it reminded me of "The Lake House" Movie). At the very least make it consistent or logical with the calendar. I just find it as a weird oversight that a regular person would've noticed.

Just a little nitpick of mine, I did enjoy the movie overall.


It's not unusual since the body swapping are like dream like experience where minor detail like date is usually ignored. I'm 28, there are times when I dream I was still in school but it didn't appear to be weird for me that in reality,I'm no longer in school and it's 2017. In dream, many things that are supposedly unusual or weird IRL become the norm. So things like date/year difference wouldn't really bother them.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

1. So Mitsuha set the date for Taki? Mitsuha once shouted a wish to be reborn as Tokyo ikemen. Like she wanted to go to a cafe and did it for herself, I can say setting up the date could have been for herself as a Tokyo ikemen. It isn't definitely homo but it sounds like and is not noticeable. It's just more because of girls feeling and do not making it distracting for audience. Like a guy or a girl getting harm in basketball and Taki in Mitsuha's body helping him is distracting and also he can't do it if it's for another guy, But getting Okudera's clothes torn up and she sewing it can happen. Even if Okudera were a guy, this couldn't work too. This makes the most normal situation, for girl to girl relation.

2. Ok this looks good

3. I know, Mitsuha never found because the comet fell down and Taki found after checking Mitsuha's town. When they were switched there were two Taki in 2013 and just one Mitsuha in 2016 and no Taki in 2016. So Taki in Mitsuha's body (in 2013) could have met the original Taki in 2013 if he had went to Tokyo. (by the way if one of them were for example an otaku, they would find about time difference.)

4. (New question) At beginning, Mitsuha waking up and boob play and surprisingly seeing herself in the mirror was Taki? But down there at breakfast grandmother said you're normal today, is she still Taki?



1.I think so that she really set it up in purpose because I think she already have feelings for him subconsciously and she wanted him to be happy but at the end of the day she didn't notice that she is already hurting herself,one proof is she suddenly cried thinking at the back of her mind that she's in love with him but she's giving him to someone else.That triggered her to go to Tokyo. I'm not really familiar about a girl to girl relationship so maybe I can't understand Mitsuha's perspective because what I'm thinking was she just shouted that she wanted to be a boy in her next life because she doesn't want her life as a shrine maiden (which I believe is a duty of a girl).She find it embarrassing when her classmates saw her spitting the rice which she find uncomfortable so she came to a wish to be a boy then,her dream to live in Tokyo makes it more sound like she wanted to be a Tokyo boy.If she will become a boy,she don't have to do all the duties of a shrine maiden anymore and just live a normal city life.

3.Do you mean the switching after Taki drank the kuchikamizake?Come to think of it,I realized that's possible,never think of it until you said about it,but there will be no more time anymore since the main reason why Taki wanted to come back to year 2013 was to be able to save Mitsuha and Itomori ..Are you perhaps thinking that if Taki in Mitsuha's body has the chance to meet Taki himself in his original body in 2013,she could have told himself about Mitsuha and why didn't he remember her when they met at the train?then the story might be change?and at the very start he will already know that they're living in different years?...but it would be more complicated for the original Taki in 2013 since at the beginning of the movie I remember him saying when he was watching the comet in 2013 when he still didn't know Mitsuha, for him it was just a BEAUTIFUL VIEW.How ironic that he didn't know that the Beautiful view he was looking at will have a big impact on his life.


4.That's one of the movie mistakes I noticed or I don't know if it's only Yotsuha who have a hobby of not changing clothes the next day but I believed that it's Taki because why would he(Taki in Mitsuha's body) be surprised to see himself in a mirror when the dress was off,The next scene it was ALREADY Mitsuha in school uniform going to eat breakfast then her grandmother ask her if she was back to normal,I guess it's a different day already because she was surprised why will her grandma asked that and even her friends find her weird the other day.
Did you also noticed during the first scene when Taki in Mitsuha's body was shocked to see himself in the mirror in that way,we can assume that Mitsuha was also in Taki's body that time as she was already saying to her friends that she felt like she was in a dream and living somebody's life(Mitsuha was saying this to her friends the same day when her grandmother asked her if she was normal)
Then suddenly the next scene was Mitsuha in Taki's body but it seems like it's still her first time to be in his body and first time to see Tokyo. That scene happen after the day she shouted that she wanted to be a Tokyo boy in her next life wherein she already told her friends that she already experienced that she's like dreaming and living somebody's life already.Meaning she already told her friends that she felt like dreaming and living somebody's life even if it's still not happening yet.

Makoto Shinkai himself said in an interview that he also find the movie incomplete and told the people to stop watching it maybe because he also find a lot of mistakes and things that makes no sense at all but for me I think it's still a great movie so I will still watch it again.



3. After drinking kuchikamizake yes there was no time, I mean a day or two before that. (Train scene occurring or not doesn't make difference in this) Then after seeing himself in 2013 as himself and not Mitsuha in his body, he could have left a note telling Mitsuha that I came to Tokyo but didn't see you in my body and it was myself and they could have found about comet falling sooner before switching come to stop due to Mitsuha's death and to evade kuchikamizake drinking. XD

4. So they skipped it? oh yes it can be. They mainly skipped Taki in Mitsuha's body, (it was just limited to some short shots of boobs, chair kicking and basketball) compare to longer scenes of Mitsuha in Taki's body and even as themselves in their own bodies.

When I watched it I didn't notice any mistake, It all made sense. Then here I saw questions which I didn't like and decided to make my own questions not to make it sense but just as a counter to get others questions out of my brain. XD

Thanks.

On the part when I said it might be a movie mistake,I came to analyze it again.It's still possible that when they swapped bodies for the first time,(Taki saw himself in the mirror in Mitsuha's body and Mitsuha in Taki's body when she first saw Tokyo can also possibly at the same time.The movie might just not put it in chronological order so when Mitsuha told her friends that she's like in a dream and having someone else's life,HER having already switched with Taki just didn't sinked in her mind yet so she still wished to be a Tokyo boy even if she already experienced it..it also took them a while before realizing that the swapping is really happening.It might have been that they want to emphasize that Taki is the Tokyo boy so they place that event on her first swap with him after she shouted that.

P:S : Suddenly came to mind because I remember they just thought it was a dream until they confirm it themselves that they're really swapping.

alright, not gonna read every single reply in this thread so heres what i think about the whole forgetting names thing that i tohught was kind of obvious. you know how mostly when you dream of something you wake up and find you cant remember that dream? i figured it was like that with them when it came to not remembering things since the movie establishes that mitsuha wakes up and said she had a strange dream but couldnt remember it.

Okay, I understand all that thing with names forgetting, but at the end it is normal for Taki not to remember Mitsuha's name because he has nothing written on his hand, but on Mitsuha's hand was written 'I love you' and she saw it, she read it, so obviously after the comet and at the present time she must remember that message from that day and when they finaly met at the stairs to recognize that he is the boy, who wrote "I love you". Why she did not remember the message?

idk, she might. they dont really establish that she didnt but im guessing she did forget eventually. its just something that they forget regardless of its importance because its connection to one another and being established in their dreams.
