your name., Vol. 1 (Your Name. (Manga))

Product Information

With all that in mind, I think that because the documents contained in the Miyamizu Shrine were destroyed by The Great Fire of Mayugoro, the knowledge of the phrase went with it. million, [73] becoming the first Japanese film since Howl's Moving Castle to reach number one in the country. So even when Taki gives Mitsuha back her red yarn thread and their memory of one another is severed…they never really forget one another, right?

Like Chris Marker’s pioneering sci-fi La jetée (which inspired Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys), Your Name spirals elegantly towards a point where beginnings and ends become indistinguishable, but does so more in the manner of a melancholy coming-of-age comedy than an abstract arthouse experiment.

In China, it became the highest-grossing Japanese film in the world's second-largest movie market on December 17, 2016. It also reveals that the other pieces of the comet fragment landed directly on where she was standing, presumably killing her as Taki hopelessly shouts for her to run. Yet this rip-roaring, heartbreaking YA adventure is very much its own beast, as different from Miyazaki’s ageless Studio Ghibli animations as it is from live-action western romps such as Freaky Friday, The Hot Chick and It’s a Boy Girl Thing or, perhaps more pertinently, from Nobuhiko Ôbayashi’s 1982 Japanese hit, Tenkōsei. Eight years (in Mitsuha's timeline but five in Taki's), it is revealed through a series of anniversary newscasts that Mitsuha persuaded her father to conduct an emergency evacuation drill across the surrounding districts, allowing all of Itomori's residents to escape in time and survive. Adult characters drink sake at a gathering, and Taki drinks a shot of a special, sacred form of sake to commune with Mitsuha.

Yotsuha Miyamizu ( 宮水 四葉, Miyamizu Yotsuha) Voiced by: Kanon Tani [11](Japanese); Catie Harvey [8] (English) Mitsuha's younger sister with a strong personality. Then all is revealed about the comet fragment seen in the beginning, where the cutscene is completed, showing it land on Mitsuha's home, exploding out and destroying Itomori. Which means their “knowledge” has continued to pass down through the traditions and rituals they perform. They get out at their next stops and try to find each other; they finally meet at a staircase and, feeling as though they know each other somehow, ask for each other's name. While there are some minor negative aspects, overall it is very effective, captivating, and inspiring.Taki awakens in Mitsuha's body on the morning of the festival, where Hitoha speaks directly to him, explaining that the body-switching phenomenon has always been in their family. Teshi and Saya are always together and clearly have feelings for each other, but they pretend not to -- until the epilogue. We later learn from Hitoha that all of the women in Miyamizu family line have spiritual ties with random people (which explains the link Mitsuha shares with Taki). And at the end of the movie when they pass by each other on the train, they know something is there and chase after each other. Mitsuha and Taki’s description of what they feel when those comets fall through the sky isn’t specific, or logical, or definite—it’s ambiguous, and cryptic, and enigmatic.

Miki and Tsukasa talk about Taki's plight, and she says she came to the conclusion that Taki 'met someone, and that someone changed him'. But yeah, the term Kataware-doki isn’t really something to focus on, the phenomenon that happened when Mitsuha and Taki meets at the shrine is just another trick Musubi pulled off for the both of them.Shinkai's metaphorical use of trains just continuing to go along their routes that diverge in several ways really applies in this film, as much as it did in 5 Centimeters per Second. But it’s in the twilight twinkling of kataware doki, when night and day meet and worlds old and new collide, that the real heart of this story lies. We open with a meteor shower, on “that day when the stars came falling, like a dream… a shared dream”. Tsukasa Fujii ( 藤井 司, Fujii Tsukasa) Voiced by: Nobunaga Shimazaki [7](Japanese); Ben Pronsky [8] (English) A classmate and friend of Taki. Taki, now rather disheartened by his failure to do his part, sulks his way back, where he encounters Yotsuha, who says that Mitsuha went to Tokyo yesterday, and is worried about her (unaware that she is talking to Taki in her body).

Referred to in the film as "magic hour" or kataware-doki, which is turned from "kawatare-doki", an old Japanese word meaning "twilight". The parts are familiar: two people who mysteriously trade bodies, a love/hate romance that blossoms from notes and messages, and a disaster film in which a few realize the danger and must convince everyone else. Later, Taki Tachibana, a high school boy living in Tokyo, wakes up and realizes that he is Mitsuha, who herself has somehow ended up in Taki's body. Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century.At the end, Miki notes that even though they both used to like each other, Taki now likes someone else, which he embarrassedly says is not true (although seemingly increasing her belief of that). Just like Taki and Mitsuha, the past and future comets that will strike Itomori are bound together, regardless of space or time.
