August 2021 AOTM - Movie: Your Name

[Jenny, The Odd Otaku]

The movie Your Name won for August! This is by the same director of Weathering With You, which won last month.
This follows a girl, Mitsuha who lives on a remote mountain, where things move slowly, and a boy, Taiki, who lives in Tokyo. One day, for some strange reason, they switch bodies.
"Who are you? What's your name?"
Throughout the film, they cope with this by leaving each other notes on what they did while switched, as well as making rules of what they may and may not do. When it randomly stops, Taiki starts to wonder, and a whole new thread unravels.
This is also a manga series.

It's a little confusing, but it gets intense. It's also really pretty to look at.

Such a good movie.

I watched this about a week ago. It's pretty good and rather funny at times, though the time switches got confusing as heck to me.

The only anime movie that's made me cry. The manga hit me differently and I don't know why.

I just watched this movie four times in a row and my brain is still playing it on repeat...

It's so good.

I did squeeze this one in a couple weeks ago and forgot to comment on it. I got my wife and kids to watch it with me this time. They all enjoyed it though my boys did think it was a little too long.
