Why did they forget each other?

>>151961562
Because DRAMA

>>151961562
Musubi.

No idea, but it made me sad. Even when they were reunited it was bittersweet because not remembering each other felt like such a loss.

>>151961562
Mitshas father was such a cunt.
Left the family, but would still yell at you in public, fuck him.

>>151962545
Fuck that not only did they forget everything but they had to wait 8/5 years to meet each other again. I don't see why people call that a happy ending.

>>151962639
He only yelled at her in public so that the public could see how responsible he is.

>>151962545
>>151962945
I think it's made deliberately ambiguous as to whether or not they'll remember everything, since it cut out before they said each other's names. The way I see it, either they'll remember everything upon saying each other's names, or they'll slowly remember as they get to know each other. Either way, they're linked by fate so they won't ever break up.

I just think it's sad they never got to have high school sex ;_;

I thought the hair cut was for character development.

>>151961562
Because their love isnt true love.

>>151961562
Time was correcting itself.
Time/Musubi is able to be weaved together and unraveled just like the threads Mitsuha's family were weaving.

>>151961562
This, basically. >>151962407
The Grandmother described it as the bond connecting people, which forms, then breaks, then binds back together again.
The point where it broke was when Taki realised what had happened to Itomori, and the connection between him and Mitsuha's world was severed. It was that bond which brought them together in the first place, so I guess the breaking of it also erased all evidence of their bodyswapping, from Taki's journals to his memories.

But then, in the end, the bond rejoins, connecting them back together.

That's how I see it, anyway. It feels like the mystical force binding them together is intentionally left vague, along with its methods and goals, if any, which I quite like.

I'd like to think this happened and the place that they caught up at was the cafe that Mitsuha went to on her first switch with Taki.

More importantly, how did that teacher get there

Here's what I think will happen:
They fall in love and get married and create new memories together.
They don't remember their body swapping experience, but their memories always temporarily return during Kataware Doki.
It'd be kinda like in The Notebook except both of them can't remember except when a certain event (reading the notebook/Kataware Doki) triggers their memories.

I seriously don't understand how people cant watch this and not even understand the basic key points of the plot.

It's said that when one enters the "underworld" or the dusk or whatever the fuck it was they must leave behind half of them / leave behind the most important thing for them, in this case it was each other's names.

Something similar, watched it long ago.

Have you guys seen the MV for the original version of Sparkle? there are some scenes that weren't in the movies. iirc Mitsuha and Taki looking at an hourglass, Mitsuha in her clasroom on a rainy day, and short-haired college age Mitsuha (I assume she just transferred) and high school Taki meeting each other by The Stairs .

As for the last spoiler I think that was one of the endings that they considered, but it would've been too sweet and convenient. Dunno if we can consider the scene canon though

>>151966736

I already knew they would forget their names since it was asked a lot when the movie aired so I just noticed these parts during the movie and I was like

"ooh I see how it is"

>>151966325
If love at first sight was like this, I would actually respect it.

>>151965446

maybe original ending, but it would be too sweet and convenient. Not really Makoto Shinkai's specialty.

I prefer the old version tho (because I'm in my mid 20's too) because fuck it, love endures in the most bittersweet and inconvenient way.

When I saw the cherry blossoms in the movie I almost got 5cm/sec PTSD.

Not always. A ton of women got their hair cut really short when Trump was elected for example. A massive change in appearance like that is usually something they will discuss with their stylist a few weeks in advance.

I can feel it. The most terrifying part of the bridge scene is that as soon as it cuts to the shot of them walking away from eachother and the music starts playing, I was really expecting the credits to start up at any second.

Only one shot of high school Youtsuha

biggest crime of the decade desu

Did anyone took a shit when they ran to the stairs and then stopped to go full beta all of a sudden?

>>151968230
This movie barely got away with it's ending in my book. I can live with the one shot if it meant that Mitsuha and Taki got together.

>>151968317
I almost yelled when it looked like Taki wasn't going to turn around. When I saw him tense up and turn around, the relief was unimaginable.

>>151968317
Yes but their reactions were great and the music fit perfectly.

It would be cool if Shinkai had 3ha and Taki cameo in his next movie like Yukino appeared in this one

>>151968356
Then he could end it like he wanted to and have Mitsuha with another man.

Anyone got the soundtrack for this?

>>151969514
Its kind of amazing how many call him the next Miyazaki, despite Shinkai reiterating over and over how he isn't.

My interpretation was that they forgot each other because of simple time travel paradox. It’s hard to explain but,
Firstly, Taki-kun was living in a timeline where Mitsuha and a bunch of townsfolk died. This timeline’s Taki-kun was switching bodies with Mitsuha in the past.
After he realised that Mitsuha was actually dead, he went to the crater shrine to drink Mitsuha’s kuchikamisake and switch with her one more time in order to save her and the town.
He switched with Mitsuha in the morning of the day she was supposed to die. He tried to save the town but to no avail, and decided to go to the crater shrine on tasogaredoki.
Him and Mitsuha were able to meet there since tasogaredoki is magical. Then they expressed their love for each other and decided to save the town. At this moment, it was decided that Mitsuha and the townsfolk were going to live and the old timeline got erased.
The tasogaredoki was ending, and Taki-kun was about to return to the future. But he was going to return to the new timeline where Mitsuha and the townsfolk were alive for the whole time. Not the timeline where he was switching bodies with Mitsuha. So naturally, his memories of Mitsuha had to disappear.
At the same time, Mitsuha was going to return to the past. But since Taki-kun was going to a timeline where he never switched bodies with Mitsuha to begin with, her memories of him also disappeared.
Just wanted to add this to >>151966596 because I’m sure some people thought of something similar.

>>151966846
I'm gonna pretend thats cannon, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop me.

>>151961562
Because the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the girl’s alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.

because

Because Zootopia practically has it in the bag. Kini no Na wa has not had the press that Spirited Away got before it won the Oscar. And without that press, no-one is going to take a second look at some 'Chinese cartoon' (to quote a Oscar voter)

>>151970660
So? They will just hand it to Zootopia or Vaiana anyways

>>151970660
But they've got the cash to make it "worthy" if you catch my drift.

>>151961562
How much did Mitsuha jack off Taki?

>>151970064
I think we have to imagine the timeline getting divulged instead of being erased and created. So Taki-kun swapping bodies with Mitsuha on ushimitsudoki led to the timeline divulging into a one where she ends up living.
I only watched the movie once though. I'd love to rewatch it.

>>151970794
I'd like to think that was her equivalent to Taki's boob fondling.

>>151970794
Remember all those times Yotsuha walked in on Mitsuha(Taki) playing with their boobs and just brushed it off as normal?
Obviously she's walked in on her older sister doing that sort of stuff so often she's completely desensitised to it.

Mitsuha's secretly lewd as fuck, masturbating in her bedroom all the time from being so sexually repressed as a shrine girl in training.

She probably jerked off in Taki's body more than he played with her breasts.

Good deduction.
But officially (from novel), it's a completely rewriting and the nature correct the paradox by erasing memories. Everything happened in the same way except Mitsuha survived.

>>151961562
I liked how the character designs are somewhere between Ghibli and Kyo-Ani. It goes well with all the other dualities within the film (urban vs rural, modern vs traditional, male vs female, etc.)

>>151966325
Wow fuck you now I have to watch this movie despite the terrible sounding plot

If in the fixed timeline Mitsuha and the rest of Itomori didn't die, then Taki would have no need to see the list of dead people and Mitsuha's name in it. No trauma that would make him ignore Okudera-senpais invitation to fuck (seriously, she was begging for it) and go to the mountain the next day to look for clues. He did go there anyway in the altered timeline but for entirely different reasons. He still loses the ribbon there on that day though.

Anyone smart enough to help me figure out (in a non-fantasy way) what happens to the ribbon and how it ended up with Mitsuha again?


>>151972351
he was job hunting at the start of the flash forward, but I guess the final scene happened weeks or months after last date with senpai.

iirc, she was kind of hinting it when she told Taki that BFF boy was in the bath. Taki's too obsessed with phantom GF tho. I guess that erased the last shred of Taki shipping left in her.

And she had great chemistry with BFF throughout the trip, and they went back to Tokyo together. a lot could have happened. I do agree that they did end up together in the end.

>>151972792
>The earthquake changed his view on society.
So an Earthquake makes him view the world in a happier tone? Jesus, there's something wrong with him.

>>151973019
Maybe it made him realize society wasn't so cold and impersonal, seeing others come together in a time of suffering.

>>151973019
He felt that in the face of such calamities, he should make stories that give people hope.

(were you projecting?)

>>151972687
You can think of it this way. It's the complete overwriting of the same timeline and the history try to correct itself by make the memory of everyone related to this changing process vague as possible. What's done is done.

>>151972908
I suppose that Taki was at the height of his "I'm missing something in my life" experience even if he didn't know that Mitsuha was dead.

Also, I find it a bit funny that the two people who were most interested in Mitsuha!Taki ended up together.

So did the timeline get completely overwritten or only the part after they find out that she died from the meteor strike?

Big fatty and Big nerdy really established the fact that Taki is a manlet

>>151973249
Then what does that make Mitsuha? She's shorter than Taki, does that make her a womanlet?

>>151973216
I may exaggerate it here >>151973125. The part that was overwritten is 10/4/2013, when Taki travelled back to Mitsuha body. Everything else (besides how Mitsuha and Itomori suviverd) will stay the same as we see in the movie.

Mitsuha likes ikemen

>>151973468
Sayaka's way taller than I thought her to be. Also I can't help but feel that Taki's family (or lack thereof) got the short end of the stick in terms of screentime. We know Mitsuha's life like the back of our hands by the end of the movie, but Taki's life still seems a little unexplored.

Though I guess it isn't too important in the long run.

>>151973216
Unaltered: She went to tokyo, met Taki, was a bit brokenhearted when she was a literally who to Taki, left the Ribbon, went home, did the classic female cut-my-hair-short-because-I-want-to-move-on, went to sleep crying

Changes (non fantasy) :Instead of sulking all day and going to the festival in a kimono along with the gang, Mitsuha went to school and made a plan to save the town along with the gang.

Changes (fantasy): In the middle of the heist, she goes to the mountain, experiences Kataware-doki, meets Taki, lovey dovey, gets her ribbon back, "name writing", kataware-doki cut

Changes (altered memory): Still remembering Taki she proceeds with the plan, things go bad and she starts to forget Taki, Sakuga roadkill scene, I love you, inspiration to proceed with plan and the town is saved

(at this point she can only remember the feeling, and that there's proof that some mystery boy loved her and together they saved the town, but maybe she probably forgot about that too)

They all live and relocate to Urban areas less prone to meteor strikes.

>Director Shinkai, your works include 'Voices of a Distant Star' and '5 Centimetres a Second', etc. where in most of them the separated boy and girl never do end up meeting again. So why the happy ending in 'Your Name'?

>Of course, I think part of me has changed over the years. But I guess the 2011 earthquake was a really big trigger for me. Prior to 2011 we all thought that somehow 'Japanese society would just continue like that without issue'. Of course, our population was dropping and the size of our economy was shrinking etc. and we had the premonition that our society was slowly declining. But we thought that our 'never-changing everyday' would continue evermore without much disruption.

>In order for us to live in such a world, it is important that we are able to derive meaning from our unchanging everyday lives, whether it's a convenience store or being late for a train. I think that is important that from trivial things, we are able to derive the love that enables us to live on, as well as other deeply meaningful things.

>In such a climate, rather than a story like 'If I could just be with first love once more, I would have been happy', I felt that it was essential to depict a story in film where 'Despite losing my first love, I can continue to live on' by extracting meaning from loss as a way of life. However, from 2011 henceforth, I think this assumption fell apart completely.

>A town will not always be a town. It will disappear someday. Exactly as Taki stated in an interview in the film, 'We will never know when Tokyo might just someday disappear'. We live with that sentiment now. As for a story depicting that sentiment, it has to be one where one runs without giving up towards the future, and lives on to the very end. Indeed, I think that compared with prior to 2011, what everyone now seeks and desires has changed.

>>151973605
TL note:
>specifically regarding the phrase 'live on' - the uncommon terms 生を獲得する・生を掴む have nuances that are a little tricky to translate with brevity. it's not just about survival, but about PROACTIVELY living a meaningful life, like discovering your own way of life, and finding a place where you belong, etc.

>Shinkai uses the former japanese term, and the interviewer the latter (which is a more natural phrasing in my opinion) but given that Shinkai doesn't object, I think it's safe to say that they both mean the same thing in their eyes.

>the contrast that Shinkai draws between the pre-quake and post-quake psyche appears to be, amongst many things, one about passivity versus proactiveness. in the former, it's okay for really bad things (as well as trivially good/bad things) happen to you, as long as you derive meaning from them. in the latter, you need to actively think about others, sympathise with others, empathise with others, help others, do things for others, and constantly strive to make the world a better place, because you never know when the world will end.]

We see a little bit more of that in manga version. Taki's dad was quite happy with Taki (Mitsuha) called him as "Otou-san" like when he was a cute shota. He is quite pretty chilled.

>>151973585
Yeah his dad seemed kind of oblivious, but also a nice guy. Could have been some scenes where Mitsuha marvels at what its like to have a cool dad.

Not surprised since she fell for Mitsuha!Taki rather than the real deal.

>>151961562
Because the director likes to make people suffer. There was absolutely no reason to make the memory loss that drastic besides sadism.

>>151975651
It's implied that they'll most likely remember eachother, so it's not so bad. My headcanon is that eventually they spend a night together and one of them goes outside and it's Kateware-doki and they both start remembering everything when they're out there.

It's more than that. From the LN:

>“Taki-kun. Today was a disaster.” She turned around and looked me straight in the eye as she said that.
>Her long eyelashes, curled up towards the ceiling, her beautiful almond eyes, and her sensual voice that gave me tingles up my back made me instinctively want to confess my love for her then and there. Feeling my cheeks redden, I panicked and lowered my gaze to the floor.

And:
>“Oh, also, you’ve got a surprising amount of feminine charm.”
>My heart leaped. Her smile at that moment, which made me want to immediately offer all of my belongings to her for free, was the most valuable thing I had laid eyes upon today in Tokyo.

>Meet in front of Yotsuya station, 10:30. I want to go, but if it ends up being you, make sure you enjoy it.

The movie doesn't give a single reason for them to swap bodies. It just happens. At it "just happens" that they fall in love. As it "just happens" that they belong to different timelines. As it "just happens" that they forget about each other.
>inb4 muh leaving the most important thing behind
Exactly, the writer had to make up retarded rules like this out of nothing to be able to create unnecessary drama. Basically the writer didn't care about telling a story, he wanted a vessel for his drama fantasies.

Really embarrassing. Only an ignorant would enjoy this pile of crap. The Garden of Words was much better.
You know, usually I wouldn't care this much but I can't stand all the hype it's receiving here on /a/ of all places or reading about oscar nominations and shit. To think you faggots regularly shit on Ghibli or NGE.

I haven't even watched it yet but I already know the Mappa adaptation of the WWII manga by the author of Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms is much much better, for example.

This or I feel like I'm getting trolled pretty hard.

That's because Taki memories in his body influenced with Mitsuha feelings.

Dammit! DON'T LET TUMBR found it!

no. Shinkai is a modern artist and told the greatest love story this world has seen for the past 2000 years. no other work can come close. only the japanese could conceive a masterpiece such as this one. in fact, his choice of apple technology only displays his superiority. i mean, you shouldnt get any other phone really, an apple phone has all the power and tools that you will ever need. stylish, too. your name is the best movie i have ever seen in my 2000 years of life. as a flat chested high elf i will not have you talking shit about the best movie of all time.

A country girl falls in love with Tokyo .
Unable to leave her backwater village in the middle of nowhere, she is gifted with by a deus ex machina of swapping body with a boy living in Tokyo. Never minding the strange occurrence, she immediately take control of the boy body, and is overjoyed to find out that she is living and walking around tokyo high rise skyscrapers and scenery.
But, the next day, when she try to recounts her previous day’s dreamlike experience in tokyo, all she found was a scribble of "who are you?" in her notebook. She can only looks at the note with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, she finds out that the boy that wrote that line in her notebook is the same boy that she controlled in Tokyo. In fact, unbeknown to her, the boy is actually living 3years ahead of her. He is the girl’s future counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s past self, who too is blissfully unaware of her current deceased status. .
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to try to live each other life through all the random body swapping, and to prevent each other from interfering with each other lives. When the girl decided to setup a date for the boy with the perceived crush, DRAMA ensues when they realize that they actually fell in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

Thanks, this was exactly what I needed to disregard every single positive comment about the movie.

You know, I find it hilarious that even though I never liked Shinkai I find myself defending his previous movies when compared to this one. All his previous movies tried to be mature, this one feels like that NGE episode near the end of the series that made fun of the worst anime tropes, the one where Rei runs with a toaster in mouth.
>>151988984
I know perfectly what that is and I recognize it immediatly when I see it.
Pic related is the perfect example. The scene was good, the drama was already all there but this hack of a writer couldn't stop himself from having to make Tenma say this shit only for the sake of forced drama.

I like supernatural stuff a lot.

>>151988854
Not by a direct exposition but I just guess it from the pieces of information I got from the movie.
Maybe your problem is just this movie is below your standard and everyone else hailed it as the masterpiece (in your perspective).

>>151968317
At that moment, I was thinking to myself "If this ends up like 5cm/s, I swear I'm gonna go to the top of the cinema kill myself immediately."

>>151988854
>That was never stated in the movie.
Mitsuha literally screamed that she wanted to be reborn as a hot boy in Tokyo in the first 10mins of the movie. Scene should be right after the saliva sake advert.

And the "original plan" where they dump the miko power in a cave painting for the viewers to know was the most sakuga scene in the movie. There is no way you would miss it if you watched the movie.

>>151989097
I can enjoy shit when it's not pretentious, that's why I never liked Shinkai very much. The Garden of Words wasn't that bad.
I can't stand people prasing it when they've seen 10 anime and are clearly incapable of recognizing good writing and bad writing.
I feel like we've been flooded by mal and reddit users.
>>151989151
If I'm not mistaken that happens later, the movie begins with the first swap. It's only made fro comedic effect.
I didn't miss it but I didn't interpret it like that.
The writing still remains shit and the plot is too dramatic for no real reason.

>>151989069
Yeah, but what forced drama in the film were you talking about? Do you mean the conflict between Mitsuha and father?

Poor Shinkai, he turns many senpais to his enemies just because it sells too much.
Your Name was a mistake.

>>151989424
He is still buttbuddy with kyoani. Ironic considering your name went head 2 head with koe no katachi at the cinema at the same time..

>>151989313
Every single Shinkai movie is full of that.

I'll watch the movie again and I'll take note of every single thing that's bad about it and make a thread with timeline notes and screenshots because this is getting out of control and I won't allow it.

>>151989450
>>151989424

On the other hand, isn't that's quite promising?
Those elites in the industry attacked this work like shit. But the way to actually prove it is to produce better work that sell more, right?
I'm looking forward to 2018 now, it will be a great year of anime.

Nigger I don't go to the theater since I'm not retarded. I think the only thing I'll watch in the theater this is year is Blade Runner and I already know I'll regret it.

If I wanna watch something in HD I watch it on my plasma at home without niggers that disturb me all around me. I have the same tv as Daiz, by the way.

>>151989906

Even my 80 year old grandmother has just bought a quantum dot tv.

>>151989906
But Chinkrip doesn't do the justice since visual is one of the selling point.

Well, that's fine. Even the BD is out, you will just pirate it anyway because you don't care.

>>151989906
Why dont you just read a book instead of trying to judge a visual medium while omitting the visual entirely?
The LN is out

No, she didn't.
Enjoy your no blacks, faggot. Go back to your videogames, there are adults who enjoy anime here.

>>151990005
I would have things to say even about the visuals. The movements of the characters didn't feel human, they felt like robots. Try watching it again if you missed it.
Too much CG.

Guys, why didn't Taki look at a calendar or know the name of the town he's been basically living in for two weeks? Didn't Mitsuha establish that he was really organized after reading his phone schedule?

>>151990462
Yeah, that's another retarded thing but I could still live with it, it's not bad as everything else.

>>151990462
When they're in each others bodies they're 'dreaming'

They forget details when they wake up

Its like the major plot point, how could you miss it?

>>151990462
There seems to be some memory loss about details like that when they go back to their bodies. That's why it was hard for them to search for eachother, especially for Taki.

Anyway, let's all stop taking obvious bait and spend some time appreciating the actual best character.

Why isn't there more art of him?

>>151991596
Because boys like him are always dicks?

>>151991653
I mean, he helped to save 500 lives at a pretty big risk to himself, going up against his dad, so he can't be that much of a dick. Although he did fold in the end when he actually got caught.
If anything he seems like a slight jerk with a heart of gold.

Either way, his character kind of stood out to me. I appreciated him being in the film.

>>151991596
Poor Teshi. It was pretty obvious that he liked Mitsuha.

>>151991812
He is a director's favorite.
But damn. Everyday life with 2 cuties, with non-harm love triangle, also in countryside. This guy is really living a dream.

>>151991596
Who???
Best boy ended banging okudera though. He is the real winner.

>>151991835
Mitsuha friendzoned him and shipped him with Sayajin, while Sayajin waited for him to give up on Mitsuha. Quite a win-win situation.

Yeah, the scene where he was in his room looking up at the shrine resonated quite a bit with me.
Plus, it was pretty nice to see some acknowledgement that other characters besides the protagonists were dealing with their own issues. Helped to ground it a bit.
That said, I barely remember any defining aspects of Sayaka. Were there even any?

>>151992498
The moment when she had to announce the radio. Even if she is a normal girl, she is still brave enough to do it for her friends (with shaking voice).

Having wrote that, I kind of like the explanation that it's because they both passed across the "Underworld" threshold and left behind the most important parts of each other: the others' name.
It's nice that the film's theming is so strong that it gets discussion flowing with multiple possibilities, regardless of how likely they actually are.

It's like how the whole thing of Taki's and Mitsuha's worlds/timelines feel like they're lining up, and passing over each other, similar to some kind of once-in-a-lifetime celestial event, and the loss or memory afterwards makes it feel pretty transient.

Or maybe I'm just spouting garbage.

>>151991596
He marry grown up Sayaka, which is really cute.

I just thought it was because of the transient nature of dreams, even grandma said to treasure the dreams while you still can because the memory of them will fade.

This makes more sense to me, because even though the idea of having to leave each other's names in the underworld is really cool, Taki was already forgetting Mitsuha before he went up there. After he discovered the town was destroyed but before he remembered about the god's body he had already forgotten her name.

From 2.20 Nandemonaiya (the ending song) compose of both Taki and Mitsuha feeling.

Could anyone else not get into the movie because they found it hard to believe that the only thing Taki did when he switched bodies was fondle Mitsuho's breasts instead of going around town and being the town bicycle?

We didn't see what he did after Yotsuha closed the door on him.

Mitsuha immediately went straight for the goods though. Maybe she's actually more perverted than he is.

>>151989450
Odd how Shinkai and Kyoani got into good terms. Shinkai praised KnK and Kyoani gladly used his statement to promote the movie.

dont bullshit me

>>151999154
Nope.
Because she is a female in Miyamizu family, so she was bound by both the town and the religion. While she is good at it, she doesn't really like those embarrassing ritual.
She just want to be free from those bound.

>>151999322
Nah I rather be reborn with two dicks so I can fuck more.

Can't really do that much beyond masturbate because I don't speak a lick of Nip.

They WERE looking at the calendar. But they breezed right through it. Both Taki and Mitsuha and the audience didn't notice because we were all caught up in the fact that they switched bodies.

>>151998411
God, they'll make a cafe out of anything nowadays.

>>152000837
That, and even if they did notice they most likely forgot once they returned back into their own bodies due to their memories being hazy.

Taki is a gentleman. He married Mitsuha first before doing the deed.

>>152001328
>Taki is a gentleman. He married Mitsuha first before doing the deed.

I don't know if he'd be able to hold in 5 years worth of lust. Even Mitsuha was already crying and all they did was say "Hello" to one another.
