Since the nips were posting fan arts again on Twitter I finally watched pic related and enjoyed it thoroughly. Beautiful movie.
I only have one question - how the hell did they not notice the 3 year time difference while they were switching bodies? Is this a plot hole or did I miss something?

The real question is why are they writing aho/baka on their own faces in their own bodies.
I’m guessing niether of them are very observant. Also, it’s not like people say what year it is all the time. It’s just something that went unnoticed
way to ask the same dumb question people ask after watching the movie
send messages to the other when they next take control
>it’s not like people say what year it is all the time
But they both went to school and I'm sure you write dates on test papers? Also they both used apps on their phones so you'd think they would flick through Calendar and notice something off.
The curse of being an eternal slowpoke.
IT'S TIME FOR BEDDY-BYE. LET ME READ YOU A BED TIME STORY.
IT'S YOUR FAVORITE, THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE
>niether of them are very observant
>a fucking meteor wipes a town off Japan
>it's big news everywhere
>books written about it
>Itomori is literally a household name
>Taki doesn't immediately freeze when the ramen shop guy says it
Unobservant is putting it lightly
>plot hole
Who cares if it's a plot hole? It makes for an entertaining movie. Suspend your disbelief a little or you'll end up like Sup Forumsfags.
I did, I like the movie a lot. It completely deserves its popularity IMO, but that detail just tugged at me
Wish I had seen it sooner so I could talk about it with Sup Forums.

Why?
Because it aired on TV I think.
They show the years on calendars in both timelines. Did you notice that on your first watch?
Didn’t really feel the film all that much compared to how everyone says it’s a masterpiece. Taki hardly has any personality whatsoever. I know he’s good at drawing and works at an Italian restaurant. But I know next to nothing about his aspirations, goals, or past. If you analyze his room, you see nothing but textbooks and some drawings he’s done of bridges and skyscrapers--which ties in loosely into the ending where he wants to quote: “build landscapes that leave heartwarming memories.” This is almost all we’re ever given. Why Taki had aspirations to draw bridges and buildings is never explored (Don’t give me nonsense about how the bridges are symbolically supposed to be about two worlds meeting - which it very well might be. I’m specifically referring to the character motivation to be interested in them, not the symbolism. Mitsuha was a much more developed character in my opinion, because unlike Taki, she doesn’t automatically change the entirety of her personality based off of her position being stuck in another body.
Taki on his own is an observer. There’s essentially nothing to him. So this shell of human-being who would care about anything that’s around him is astonishing. I guess the landscape looks pretty or something. Makes me wonder why Mitsuha would ever love him seems completely out of nowhere. What does she know that we don’t know? I don’t see her learn anything about him through her experiences in his body. He doesn’t even seem to really care about his job working at the Italian restaurant (it’s apparently a temporary stepping stone for him.) Her hanging around his school and with his friends as well as Tokyo does nothing to further her relationship with him.
What does she learn about him through hanging out in his life? He’s passionate about nothing. Her relationship with Taki is utterly vapid and devoid of substance or reason for her to like this guy. It’s extremely one sided and it kills the film for me.
But that just the musubi erasing him memories like it did with the text messages.
I don't get why people bring this up so often, we literally see text messages erased from his phone before his eyes, and we see them forget stuff like their names, yet for some reason when it comes to the meteor Taki's mind is supposed to be steeled in that regard.
I figure Taki was your average bored city kid who had nothing he really wants to do. He's good at sketching architecture and that's probably what he likes to do in his spare time.
>“build landscapes that leave heartwarming memories"
was probably him subconsciously drawing from his body switching experience with Mitsuha.
>So this shell of human-being who would care about anything that’s around him is astonishing
Because body switching was a crazy experience that gave him new perspectives and something to be engaged in for once.
>Makes me wonder why Mitsuha would ever love him seems completely out of nowhere
Because they bantered and shared their lives intimately and she saw that he was fundamentally a pleasant guy that others didn't mind having around?
Tokyo and the backwater region of Japan are already so different that the 3-year difference can quite understandably become part of the landscape they've each respectively been forced into.
His friends also seemed to be into architecture maybe, judging by their comments from when they first go into the cafe with Mitsuha.
The line comes off as being there as a juxtaposition because they're focused on the building while she is impressed with the dessert, but there's also that.
I don't think it's too unrealistic that they didn't notice the year difference. How often do you talk about what year it is in daily conversation?
What really got me was the boy not remembering the meteor event. Can you imagine if a meteor really did destroy a Japanese town? It'd be their 9/11. Nobody would EVER forget after three years.
>How often do you talk about what year it is in daily conversation?
Been talking about it a lot recently actually.
Tell me about Taki why did he wear the Kumihimo?
This is Japan, they don't go "COME ON IT'S CURRENT YEAR" over everything. Also they're not as political
Their memories were being erased. You can tell this from the first line of the movie
Taki was a kid who went to school, worked a part time job, hung out with his friends, and liked sketching buildings and landscapes in his spare time. Mitsuha was just a girl who lived in the country, went to school, did some traditional stuff out of a sense of obligation, and killed time with her friends. That's pretty typical teenage stuff. What else are you looking for exactly? Most teenagers live mundane lives and aren't very interesting people. The movie takes them out of their routines and injects that element of interesting into their lives with the body switching and later with trying to rescue the townsfolk from the comet.
Taki obviously developed his interest in building "landscapes that leave heartwarming memories" because the memory of Itomori was still present in his subconscious. Mitsuha developed feelings for him because he was a good looking boy her age who she got to know in a really unique way and who was a positive presence in her life. What else is necessary?
It was a new years joke.
I love Mitsuha
everyone loves Mitsuha
>how the hell did they not notice the 3 year time difference while they were switching bodies?
It's the inception rule, you over look things because it feels like a dream. They didn't even realize they were swapping bodies multiple times. They just acted out their roles when they swapped and it wasn't until multiple swaps later when they left the notes for each other that they realized what was happening.
Is it true that this is the Garden of Words MC cameoing
It sort of looks like him but
I'd give my arm and leg to marry a gorgeous woman like cake Mitsuha.
>I drank you cum sake, we can now transcend time and space to bang
is it that easy bros?
O MY KUCHIKAMIZAKE

What the absolute fuck
SoftBank commercials are the best
Nips commercial always great. I've been following some series like Softbank and Au, and of course pic related.
More comfy.
Taki doesn't deserve Mitsuha.
Post the fucking fanarts, user.
user, doesn't that line have to do with the present rather than the past?
when they were switching they were like in their dreams
how many people check the year in their dreams
it explained in the movie you bunch of idiots
They're clearly conscious enough to figure out what's going on, communicate with each other, and even make plans, idiot.
I was having a lot of fun with this movie but I felt like it just turned to shit when he left on his quest to find her town.
>tfw there is not Mitsuha subconsciously searching for you with a longing for you in her heart,
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.
The two stories aren't even remotely similar.
They should've at least kissed.
