Contents.Plot High school girl Mitsuha Miyamizu lives in the fictional town of Itomori in Japan's mountainous. She is bored with the country life, and wishes to be a handsome boy in her next life.
She begins intermittently with Taki Tachibana, a high school boy in Tokyo, when they wake up. They communicate by writing messages on paper, their phones, and sometimes on each other's skin. Mitsuha causes Taki to develop a relationship with his coworker Miki, while Taki causes Mitsuha to become popular in school.One day, Taki, as Mitsuha, accompanies her grandmother and sister to leave the ritual alcohol, made by Mitsuha, as an offering at the shrine on a mountaintop outside the town. The shrine is believed to represent the body of the village guardian god who rules human experiences and connections.
Mitsuha's latest note tells Taki about a comet expected to pass Earth on the day of her town.The next day, Taki wakes up in his body. After an unsuccessful date with Miki, he tries to call Mitsuha but cannot reach her, and the body switching ends. He decides to visit Itomori, but he does not know the town's name, and his memories of it are fading while Mitsuha's messages have disappeared. A restaurant owner in Hida finally recognizes Itomori from Taki's sketch and tells him when the comet unexpectedly split into two, the larger piece kept moving, but the smaller one crashed onto Earth and destroyed the town. Taki finds Mitsuha's name in the records of fatalities and discovers from the date of the disaster their timelines were separated by three years.Taki goes to the shrine to drink Mitsuha's kuchikamizake, hoping to reconnect with her body and warn her of the comet strike. Through a vision, Taki discovers that Mitsuha, having fallen in love with him, met his past self while trying to meet him personally.
While no one has announced any Kimi no Na wa OVA episodes based on Your Name: Another Side – Earthbound, it would certainly make sense to produce more anime as promotional materials that could be bundled with the live-action movie’s Blu-ray release or a reprint of the light novel for English audiences.
He wakes in her body on the morning of the town festival; Mitsuha's grandmother deduces his identity, and tells him the body switching is part of the Miyamizu family history as caretakers of the shrine. He convinces Mitsuha's friends Tessie and Sayaka to help evacuate the town by cutting the power and broadcasting a false emergency alert, but the plan fails. He realizes that Mitsuha must be in his body at the shrine and goes back to find her.Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's body at the shrine. When Taki reaches the shrine as the sun sets they sense each other's presence, but are separated by three years. However, when twilight falls, they return to their own bodies and meet.
They attempt to write each other's names on their hands so they will remember each other, but twilight passes and Mitsuha disappears before she can write hers.As Mitsuha races back to town to convince her estranged father, Toshiki Miyamizu, who is also Itomori's mayor, to evacuate the town, her memories of Taki start to fade, and finds Taki wrote 'I love you' on her hand instead of his name. The comet piece crashes to Earth, destroying Itomori. Taki wakes up in his own time at the shrine, remembering nothing.Five years later, Taki has graduated from university and is searching for a job. He senses he is missing something important and learns that the inhabitants of Itomori survived by following the mayor's order. One day, Taki and Mitsuha see each other when their trains draw parallel, and are compelled to disembark and search for one another, finally meeting on a staircase. Taki wonders if they have met before, and Mitsuha feels the same way.
With their connection reestablished, they shed a tear and simultaneously ask for each other's name.Voice cast CharacterJapaneseEnglishTaki Tachibana ( 立花 瀧, Tachibana Taki)A high school boy living in Tokyo, who spends his days happily with his friends and has a part-time job in an Italian restaurant.
