Because DRAMA

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.

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

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.

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

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 just think it's sad they never got to have high school sex ;_;
Seriously man. They deserved it.

Long-haired, high-school Mitsuha > Cake Mitsuha

>highschool sex
>their first time with each other won't be awkward fumblings that last 25 seconds in the back seat of a Citroen with no foreplay

Nothing lost.

When she got that haircut it was criminal.

>Implying they wouldn't fuck in a comfy love hotel

And considering how much saudade they were experiencing before they met again, it wouldn't surprise me if they're both still virgins

Indeed. Is girls cutting their hair when they're heartbroken actually a thing or trope? I've never heard of it before.

I thought the hair cut was for character development.

Because their love isnt true love.

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

You take that back you son of a bitch

This, basically. 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.

>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.

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.

She transferred there.

Is this movie explaining how love at first sight is made?

kek

...That's actually plausible, holy shit.

I like to think that they just said their names and then fucked off forever. THE END, people move on and all that supernatural shit was a dream which is why they forgot so easily.

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.

Why are you such a buzzkill?

...

>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.

Holy shit, I just assumed that it was a side effect of Taki going back forcefully or something. I completely forgot about the leaving things behind bit during the climax.

That would've just been like Shinkai

Thanks for being smarter than me that actually makes sense.

Holy shit you're right.

Yooooooo

Goddamn anons, shit like this is why I come to Sup Forums to discuss anime

Holy shit

>Sup Forums
>discussion

How can a phrase with 11 words have so much meaning.
Damn.

Taki will remember everything when he fondle Mitsuha's boobs.

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

my.mixtape.moe/tdjvfg.mp3
Because at this point the movie was still fucking good.

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"

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

Yes. Women all over the world do it.

Probably just fishing for compliment ("The new you look great!" "This style suit you more!!") to build up their self confident again?

Sometimes diamonds can be found amongst all the shitposting user

Too bad it did the opposite for her.

That makes a ton of sense actually. But if that's the reason then why did Taki forget Mitsuha earlier after he found out about her town?

Did you watch the 3-minute version or the 6-minute version? For some reason YouTube doesn't have the 6-minute version but Bilibili does.

>short-haired college age Mitsuha (I assume she just transferred) and high school Taki meeting each other by The Stairs

Wait am i retarded? Isn't this how the Movie ended?

i've gotten that before. it was a surreal moment. heard she was moving away so i didnt pursue

No, the movie had recent college grad Taki and cake Mitsuha meeting. But for some reason, the music video has college age Mitsuha and high school Taki meeting.

Movie ended with 25-year old long haired cake Mitsuha and 22-year old unemployed salaryman Taki

Got mine from nyaa, I'm a cheap fuck

>>short-haired college age Mitsuha (I assume she just transferred) and high school Taki meeting each other by The Stairs

They're adults in the end. I assume that this might've been the original ending, but I'm just guessing.

> i didnt pursue
This seems to be s staple around this parts.

That's a nice theory.

I'll steal it! No one will ever know!

>short-haired college age Mitsuha (I assume she just transferred) and high school Taki meeting each other by The Stairs .
Alternative ending?

Wait so originally they weren't suppose to be away from each other for so long? Maybe they changed it to appeal to the oldfags.

>Taki will remember everything when he fondle Mitsuha's boobs.

That's what I like to think happens too

>i didnt pursue
>This seems to be s staple around this parts.

What if our Mitsuhas have already passed us by and our musubi has been cut? ;_;

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.

>it would be too sweet and convenient. Not really Makoto Shinkai's specialty
If Shinkai had his way, the movie would have ended in a more melancholy way and not made as much money

My Mitsuha died because I couldn't save her ;_;. I deserve this.

Shinkai's pretty stable and happy now. It's not that much of a stretch to think that he's willing to make happy endings now.

I'm just happy for the guy.

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

The bridge scene triggered mine. Fuck the bridge scene.

Smart posts like this are why I still come to this board.

Damn, I forgot about the Underworld and leaving something behind point. But now that you've brought it up, it's all come full circle in my head. Thanks, user.

>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.

Mid twenties here too but the characters deserved to be together earlier. His friend putting the ring on his previous crush before he could meet his girl after all that shit they pulled was harsh.

>Probably just fishing for compliment

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 thought the cherry blossoms signalled another missed encounter. Bridge scene was terrifying, until Taki made a move.

Catharsis is a beautiful thing. Last time I felt like it was with Tatami Galaxy.

Jesus man, what happened?

Have an art piece.

Think of all the natural disasters that have claimed so many lives, you could've just subverted if you'd done things a little differently and found your Mitsuha.

>I thought the cherry blossoms signalled another missed encounter.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

Anyone got the soundtrack for this?

At that point, I was already standing and shouting at them to turn around (luckily not in the cinema ofcourse)

Here's a playlist that was floating around on YouTube, if that helps.

Is there any actually high quality place to download this, or are they all shit

Delete this

All shitty dvd rips until BDs.

Just search for it in nyaa

HQ OST and MV in nyaa

movie itself still just 480p rip

Nice, thanks.

When is the soonest we can expect the BDs?

Anytime, user.

How old is Yotsuha?

Oh right nyaa, thanks for the reminder.

6 months or so I guess, standard. But since it's doing so well internationally it might get pushed further off

>But since it's doing so well internationally it might get pushed further off
No doubt this is going to happen. Damn it if only I could see it on theaters.

I have the Chinese hardsub rip downloaded but I really want to see it in HQ because it's Shinkai and I want the best experience.

I was practically screaming "What the fuck are you doing you goddamn idiot? WHY WOULDN'T YOU TALK TO HER"

An Oscar nomination would mean 2 things right now:

1. Leaked screener copy (which may ar may not be good quality)

2. Increased exposure and extended theatrical run (and delayed BD's too)

That said, I'm curious to see what will happen to this film come Valentine season if ever it receives increased exposure.

Just watch it by the time the BDs come out you will have forgotten most of it anyways.

>Increased exposure
I really don't want this to circulate on the Western social media or get the Hollywood treatment, it would also put more pressure on poor Shinkai's shoulders for his next movie
Nothing good will come of it
