>spoiler
That's not true

It's out? SUBS when

But it is.
He travels to an old shrine in the middle of the crater and crosses over into the underworld to save her.

>Hold on, have I met you before?
>I thought I recognized you too!
>...
>...
>君の名は？
It's official, he's jumped the shark.

I swear, I raged so hard when it looked like he was going to pull another 5 cm/s ending.
Good thing he didn't.

Rips when?

WHERE ARE PEOPLE GETTING THIS?!

IT'S NOT ON NYAA

They probably went to the Expo
Hasn't even premiered in Japan yet

Please kill your fucking self.
I'm not going to give you your drug, this is not cool.

Turned out kinda shitty, IMO.
The beginning body swap SoL antics were kind of cute and funny, but then they tried injecting drama in the second half and shit just spiraled out of control. Literally asspulls one after another.

It premiered in animexpo exclusively, won't be out for ages because it doesn't even open in Japan until August 16th or so

For what it's worth user, it's a wonderful movie and seeing it later will be just as exciting. just try to dodge spoilers until then.

>find out you have literally days worth of empty gaps in your memories
>your friends all say you act really fucking weird during those gaps
>still take several more days to figure out something fishy is happening
These MCs are fucking retarded.

>foreigners get an exclusive showing an entire month before nips get it
Why hasn't Japan crucified Makoto Shinkai for being a white pig loving race traitor yet?

It sucked.

You joke but this movie was basically keit-ai

I almost wish someone had asked him at the end if he'd been influenced by it

I'd hate to indulge in you dumb phone posters, but the movie introduces a huge plot twist in the climax that actually is incredibly reminiscent of this pasta.

>what inspired you to write this story Shinkai-san?
>well, the first thought I had was, I wanted to write a happy ending (for once)
Fucking Shinkai:.

>haha stupid Sup Forums, how is this anything like Kei-
>oh god it's Keit-ai
Pretty much my train of thought during the movie.

The actual actual plot:


A boy falls in wakes up a girl.

Unable to talk, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's body. Never minding the strange situation, he immediately tries to make her life better, and is overjoyed to find out that she has as well.

But, the next day, when he tries to remember the girl, she only shouts at him in the deepest corner of his mind. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he was lived in a town destroyed by a comet. In fact, she died in the disaster three years ago. She is the girl's alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC's own three years in the future self, whose three year ago self is blissfully unaware of her crush.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to perform a terrorist attack in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to save the girl's life and hometown. While the two chase this ultimate goal, AMNESIA ensues as they begin to forget they fell in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

But some day in the future, they don't each other in the streets of Tokyo, and ask each other a question...

Kimi noNawa?

fuck off with your keitai meme and kill yourself while you're at it

When the trailer first came out the dialogue made me think it was similar at the very least, but then as I watched it they started using their phones to keep journals for each other, and i realized that this movie was literally keit-ai.

That's the actual plot of the movie even if he put it in ebin meme format.

it's le keitai amirite??? xDDdD hahah so funny le meme keitai alternate universe hahahhaha


kill yourself

This is actually the plot of the movie lol, see for yourself when it comes to theatres in America later

>he immediately tries to make her life better, and is overjoyed to find out that she has as well.
>make her life better
>implying he did
He turned her into a yuri magnet.

are you actually this autistic or are you just mad you spoiled the movie for yourself months in advance kek desu

Nature of love - check
Phones - check
Deus ex machina - check
alternate universe - FUCKING CHECK.

The meme magic did it's job.

It was Shinkai's take on the Steins;Gate genre.

One of my favorite things about Disappearance is that Kyon reacts rather believably to reality being broken.

Given
>All of my memories are fundamentally inconsistent with the present, and everyone around me thinks I'm crazy
Instead of taking the normal tack of
>Only a calm, cool master of deduction like myself can get to the bottom of this mystery
His immediate response is instead
>Oh fuck who are you people who am I everything is fucked

When will meme magic stop interfering with the dumbest shit?

Don't forget the part where the girl tries to shack the boy up with his senpai using her "feminine powers" but it goes awry because he was in love with her and so was his senpai and so was his best friend.

Sounds boring.

Can someone write a non retard version of this?

I don't get it
How can she save the girl's hometown f it was destroyed 3 years ago?

We're breaking the barrier, kid.
Don't try and stop it.

MODS

When meme magic becomes accessible to all

Meanwhile in an alternate universe unaffected by meme magic, Kimi no Nawa is a drama about a boy who prevents a girl from hanging herself with a rope to escape Keit-ai.

>desu is filtered but literal forced memes like keitai aren't

The story begins as you'd expect, with typical awkward body swap shenanigans. Every once in a while the two protagonists will wake up in each other's bodies.
However, the two of them only remember their bodyswaps as very faint dreams, so they initially assume they're just forgetting what they did the other day instead. Only after they begin writing messages to each other during the bodyswaps do they start remembering their experiences in each other's bodies more clearly and begin communicating by writing journals.
The girl finds out he has a crush on his senpai at work, and begins making romantic advances on his senpai for her him, eventually setting up a date for him. However, the date goes south because the senpai was in love with his other personality (the girl), who she found much more entrancing. Dejected about his disastrous date, he decides to try calling the girl for the first time, but finds that his call won't go through. He soon also discovers that the bodyswaps have stopped completely.
Eventually he decides to meet the girl in person for the first time, and calls in absent at both work and school to go on a journey to the countryside to attempt to find the town she lives in, with only sketches of the landmarks he remembers to go off of. His senpai and best friend stalk him to the station and insist on coming along because they were worried about him. Eventually, after a long journey, he finds one man who recognizes the landscape he had sketched. However, a shocking truth awaits him.
The town was destroyed three years ago in a meteorological disaster. As soon as he realizes this, he finds that the journals the girl wrote in his phone are quickly disappearing from existence, as are his own memories of her and his experiences in her body as well. As the amnesia sweeps over him, he becomes extremely distraught that he can't remember something that he feels should've been extremely precious to him: that girl's name.

>mods keep deleting keit-ai
>film ended up keit-ai

AAAY

I hate Shinkai now.

MEMED SO HARD IT BECAME REAL 2.0

Thanks user. Can you finish it please?

It is finish.

As he stares at the mysterious braided cord on his wrist, his memories suddenly flood back to him. This braided cord was given to him three years ago by the girl, but because he hadn't started body swapping with her yet, he had no idea who she was. He realizes that the body swaps happened over an expanse of three years, and his experiences in the girl's body happened three years ago. He recalls one of his last memories in the girl's body, when he visited the shrine of the local god with her grandmother and little sister, located at the center of a crater created over a thousand years ago. The grandmother told the two of them that the sake they were offering up as a sacrifice were half of their souls, required for them to enter the underworld. The boy quickly travels to the crater and finds that not only is the shrine still there, but so is the sake he had placed there while in the girl's body. Remarking that this sake contained part of the girl's soul, he pours some and drinks it in preparation to enter the underworld. However, he suddenly slips soon after and strikes his head.

He then wakes up once more in the girl's body and realizes it's on the last day of her life. He quickly begins to plea with the townspeople, including the girl's father, the mayor, to escape the area to avoid the ensuing disaster, but they just thinks he's speaking nonsense. Faced with no other choice, he stages a plan with the only two people who believe him, the girl's best friends. They plan on staging a terrorist attack on the power plant and broadcasting a fake emergency evacuation announcement to save everyone from the comet. The boy, however, suddenly gets a strange feeling and makes his way to the crater where the shrine was. Three years in the future, the girl wakes up in the boy's body to the sight of her destroyed town. The two suddenly hear each other's voices but are unable to see each other, until the sun passes the horizon and twilight falls on the crate.

You type exactly like an underage faggot trying to sound like an oldfag.

>escaping keit-ai

It's too late, user.

>xDDdD
End your life, faggot.

They did it, actually.
A huge amount of the nip news media just ignore his stuff or goes out saying "oh, there's this new independent shit from that random guy" he never gets the same praise as Mamoru, whose work isn't that better.
Not really related but for some reason slavs seems to like his stuff quite a lot.

The twilight creates a miracle and let's them meet each other in the crater for the first time. The boy informs her of the plan he had hatched in her body and tells her that she must save her town and live on. He returns the corded braid she gave to him three years ago. They then write their names on each other's palms so they do not forget a second time, but before the girl can write her name, the twilight ends and the boy is left alone in the crater in his own body.
The girl, back in her own body, successfully carries out the plan with her friends. However, before the townspeople can evacuate fully, her father catches on to their actions and stops their broadcast, telling the townspeople to stay where they are. The girl then runs to the town hall, intent on doing what the boy was unable to and convince her father to issue a genuine evacuation order. She becomes distraught when she starts forgetting the boy's name, however, and slips on a hill, falling to the ground. She then glimpses what the boy wrote on her hand. "I love you." Laughing how she really won't be able to remember his name now, she rises again and runs to town hall with renewed vigor to face her father.

Three years in the future, the boy awakes, having completely forgotten why he had journeyed to that crater in the first place. He goes through the next five years of his life with a nagging feeling in his chest, constantly searching for something he has forgotten.

During his daily commutes, he begins to catch glimpses of a girl with a corded braid in her hair, but barely misses meeting her each time. He also recalls how the crater he had visited once was located near a town destroyed by a comet. However, the townspeople had evacuated successfully due to a "miraculous coincidence".

Eventually they finally reunite on a staircase, unable to remember anything about each other but having a painfully nostalgic feeling in their chest. They then ask each other a question.

"Your name?"

ALWAYS

You can't stop it.

A boy falls in love with a girl.

Unable to confess, he is gifted by a deus ex machina with the girl's phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that 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.

Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

>Your name?
BRAVO SHINKAI

One of the dumbest parts about Kimi no Na Wa is how contrived the big twist is and how willfully ignorant the protagonist had to be for it to work.

On an animation and production level, how good would you guys say it was compared to Shinkai's other works?

The production values were fucking mind blowing.

Some excellent usage of 3d animation which you don't see often.

>only one showing
>line capped over an hour before start time
>mfw

How early were you guys there to line up?

I came like 1.5 hrs beforehand, and somehow manages to get a seat in the front row

>Your name?

Oh for fucks sake Shinkai.

It was fucking beautiful, Ive never seen anything like it before in my life. you know how hibike euphonium had all those B U D G E T moments? Imagine that but for the entire duration of the movie.

So basically he's more popular in the West than in Japan?

This.
It was just nonstop SAKUGA and CLOUD PORN the entire time.

Those time lapses made my dick so hard desu

Whoever did them is a fucking legend at landscape artwork

>Aoi Yuuki voices a secondary character on this
Finds a way?

Who did hanakana voice again?

The teacher.
Who had a short bob cut.
Who looked suspiciously familiar.

Don't tell me...

>one comet
>not two

Macarthur would be ashamed

Another comet had struck the same area in the distant past and was worshipped as a god.

I can't check right now but I think the name that was listed in the credits was definitely different from the name of the teacher in Garden of Words.

It was definitely a cheeky reference at the very least though.

Goddammit Shinkai, just goddammit.

THIS is your version of a "happy end"? This is no different from Beyond the Clouds.

Is it even prettier than Garden of Words?

At least it's implied that they're still in love and reunited. It ain't no Five Centimeters per Second. There's nothing stopping them from engaging in passionate lovemaking that very night.

Seriously the moment they catch a glimpse of each other's faces on the metro they drop everything they're doing, run out of the station, and search for each other until they reunite.

And yes, it's very pretty, and has a lot of dynamic animation unlike Garden of Words which was a lot of sitting around.

Not sure about the west, but as far as Russia goes, definitely.

Is Russia considered "The West?" Doesn't Russia consider "The West" to be against them?

very nice, looking forward to seeing it when it gets released proper

I'm a sucker for cloudporn

Beyond the Clouds was the very most definition of an open-ended FUCK YOU. I hardly believe this comes even close to that, otherwise we might as well give him the absolute madman title already.

But then again, I didn't watch this yet.
Still mad at Beyond the Clouds, though.

Well yeah that's my point.

The entire sequence where the girl tries to play matchmaker for the guy and leaves "advice" on his phone about scoring with girls followed by her trying to visit the guy in Tokyo only to be heartbroken when he doesn't recognize her was really just keitai as fuck. Seriously.

How did Japan react to the film?

It hasn't been shown there yet senpai

Are they complaining about that on 2ch?

I just realized how we kind of lost contact with our eleven comrades over the years. I mean, there used to be lots more of screencaps and general information about what's 2ch thinking or doing here on Sup Forums and vice versa.
Sup Forums's trademark ability to derail a thread also seems to be a skill in dwindle.
I don't really know what to blame.

>I just realized how we kind of lost contact with our eleven comrades over the years. I mean, there used to be lots more of screencaps and general information about what's 2ch thinking or doing here on Sup Forums and vice versa
Nowadays that kind of stuff would be considered off-topic garbage. As if half the on-topic ""discussion"" on this board isn't pure unfiltered garbage (looking at the Re:Zero threads right now).

What's the runtime? I'm guessing under an hour? Also did Yukino from Garden of Words really make a cameo? I'm so fucking hyped for this shit man.

...

>spend an extended time in each other's bodies
>never ever check the date and realize their calendars are off by three years
Shinkai is a hack.

>teenage boy put in a girl's body
>teenage girl put in a boy's body
I'm pretty sure that checking a fucking calendar would be way below the last item on the list of things that they'd do in that kind of situation./

They had to take tests and do homework for each other. Pretty sure they HAD to check the date at some point.

They were a boy in a girl's body and vice versa for like weeks on end. You can't masturbate the ENTIRE time.

Imagine the rage that would've happened if by the time the two reunite the girl was already married.

don't even start that shit

I'd be mad but partly because he'd be rehashing his own shit.

Alright, which one of you was it?

>phone journal magically disappears along with memories to generate drama
>but everything else remains, including the sketches of the town the MC drew
What a conveniently selective deus ex machina.

Just sneak in like i did. Hall b is connected to entertainment hall. I have to no time to just stand and wait for one and a haf hours.

I was more confused by how she had an iPhone 6 in 3 years ago.

Maybe the guy's half took place in 2019.
