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.
haha lol GET IT?? the meme turned into reality XDDDD

Why in fuck is your name so praised and so popular? It's just a generic LN love story that doesn't even have a great payoff because he actually saves her where it would have been far better if it had just ended on the fact she actually was dead. As someone who has been a fan of Shinkai since She and Her Cat, I would say it's probably one of his weakest works (next to The Garden of Words). It's just a very cheesy film for him.

The beautiful animation was the best thing about Your Name. I'm not someone who rages about remakes, but... this? Why?
Grayson Barnes
>When you're so dead inside that a romantic story with a happy ending annoys you because you feel tragedy has somehow more artistic merit than comedy
Right into the trash with you. That said, you're correct about it being overrated, but I think that's just because it was a really good date movie. Every movie like that gets overrated.
Ryan Cruz
Americans can't take animated works seriously. They only accept CG for Disney/Pixar, and Disney hasn't made a genuine animated movie in what, two decades?
Hollywood won't take the risk, but it likes the brand recognition and it is out of ideas, so this was probably an easy pick up.
Ethan Campbell
this, with Jew Jew Abraham at the helm 100%

Both industries produce shit nowadays, the difference is the Japs have the common sense to make things their target audience wants.
Gabriel Gomez
I fucking hate jj abrams

Have they not learned anything from ghost in the shell or death note? Anime adaptations never work
Cameron Adams
>doesn't even have a great payoff because he actually saves her where it would have been far better if it had just ended on the fact she actually was dead.
Oh fuck you. You fully know if she did die, that shit would viewed as cliche because death of a loved one is commonplace nowadays.

There was not a single season in years where there was 0 good anime. Literally every time there is something fun to watch.

I'm killing JJ Abrams

Brandon Diaz
I took a break from watching anime, but Akiba Trip from this year was a pretty big surprise. I was expecting garbage because it was based on a video game but Gonzo ended up making a fun, low-budget show.
Guys, just prepare your popcorn when they announce the cast.
Adrian Sullivan
Cast her.
Robert Hill
Idris Elba
Jacob Clark
did she die?
Luis Brooks
That made a ton of money tho.

Finally the Oscar committee can watch something that has merit!
Jason Anderson
maybe this time it will be good
Owen Cook

It's nearly all harem and slice of life garbage, with the occasional isekai. You may get one or two watchable shit per season, but I would hardly call it good.
Christopher Evans
THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
Matthew Bell
>They become desperate to cross space and time to find a way to meet and stop an impending disaster.
Did they just spoil the movie?
Thomas Walker
literally yes
Lincoln Russell
Bullshit. Haremshit is not even 1/10 of the season.
Chase Johnson
Yeah.
Ryan Baker
>it's real I hate Abrams so fucking much
Luke Sanders
It's half major spoiler, half thing that doesn't actually happen in the movie
Jonathan Martin
lol it's a gender swap? no wonder libkukz in hollywood r drooling over it.
Ryder Foster
You need to realize they're targeting an American market, no fucking way will the average burger watch a slice of life story without being spoiled about a cool 'twist' later on
Robert Ramirez
>wooooow why didn't the director have them not get together like in his other works imagine actually thinking a happy ending that subverts people's expectations of the director devalues the movie
Matthew Parker
Wow! What a hero!
Josiah Roberts
I fear that one day Sony Pictures realizes what IPs are owned by them.

Cast them.

A Fate/Zero adaptation directed by Snyder would be pure kino.
The story was terrible. Why didn't taki just look at the calendar? Shinkai is a HACK.

LEAVE MY FUCKING ANIME ALONE YOU MONEY GRUBBING JEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brandon Jenkins
Because he's not original and has no artistic vision. He does what the studio tells him to so he's perfect for making the same shit but slightly different.
Ryder Thomas
As long as they stick to the source material this has the potential to break the anime curse. So many adaptations flop because they disrespect the anime.
Josiah Lewis
he'll cast Boyega again
Jaxson Miller
It flopped.
Daniel Morris
>HOLLYJEW >respecting source material From what planet do you come from, user?
Aiden Morales
>Boyega U BE SAYIN WHAT ME THINK U B SAIN
Aaron Price
It's going to be Americanized. Which considering the plot and central themes to the movie, seem impossible
Joseph Ross
Don't american studios have to get the rights from the original anime makers? Why do japs keep allowing this shit
Mason Ortiz
The story is pretty ass when broken down and what's good is mainly with respect to japanese culture. The main thing being good about it was the animation, so yeah, good job JJ, you sure chose a definite winner there.
Jose Gomez
>Eric Heisserer, who received an Academy Award nomination for his “Arrival” screenplay, will write the screenplay for “Your Name.”
Oh dear God... What was their though process behind this? Arrival is about time travel and he's jewish?
Did anyone actually watch the turd that was Arrival?
Hunter Stewart
Fuck no. It might work as a nip live action movie, but the concepts at work here is way, way too japanese.
Kevin Perez
Boyega is too old. The lead actors shouldn't be older than 22. They'll need to change the location and names at the very least. Of course this will open up another whitewashing controversy.
Noah Scott
>One movie closer to the Madoka Magica adaptation
YAAS QUEEN
Caleb Campbell
If he didn't at least meet her again I would kill myself. I think plenty of other people would too
Leo Torres
This I mean, the entire plot revolves around japanese magic
Brayden Bennett
I bet they are going to whitewash the characters too. Why is Hollywood so racist against asians?
Christian Robinson
which of course, no one except americans give a shit about
Isaac Lewis
>break the anime curse
But it was broken user. Has been, for almost a decade now.
Luis Russell
Shinto Buddhism to be exact. Honestly why the fuck can't they keep the movie set in Japan? Just keep everything the same and cast whose best for the roles regardless of race. Why do they need to Americanize it?
American audiences aren't going to watch a movie with z-list asian actors
Christian Wilson
That movie was way too god for this rotten world.
Jeremiah Perez
>Did anyone actually watch the turd that was Arrival?
It was an excellent movie you contrarian faggot.
Tyler Stewart
FINDS A WAY
Benjamin Harris
>A strong independent king who don't need no man falls bows before BIG SWORD COCK I don't think the west could handle it
Matthew Ortiz
It won't be made for us. It will be made for western audiences with western beliefs, ideals, and politics. Just imagine how much political bull shit they can push on Mitsuha(MC girl) dad because in the anime he's running for local office in small rural town, you know the ignorant rural people that voted republican. Mitsuha doesn't get along with her dad either witch is perfect. Add she want to move to the city. And thin you got the body swap aspect right in the middle of all this LGBTQ+ stuff going on.
They basically have the prefect template to build their SJW wet dream off of.
Jonathan Gonzalez
Not the guy you replied to, and in fact. I didn't even read your whole post because it was too fucking long.
But I want to say something, and I want to say it to you. I didn't really like this movie's ending. I thought it was shit and forced. I have watched this dude's movies for ages. He always makes 10/10 endings where the couple DONT get together. This one, he spices it up by making them stay together. It literally disgusted me to no tomorrow, and I don't think I will ever get over it.
That's all, I'm apeshit mad at him. If anyone knows his e-mail. Please tell him that I hate him and I want my money back because I wanted a sad ending as usual.
