The Plot of "Your Name."

In "Your Name.", Taki and Mitsuha begin to switch bodies intermittently and live each other's lives. They communicate with each other by leaving messages on paper, phones, and sometimes on each other's skin. The two learn more about each other's lives and develop a connection, but they've never met each other in person.

One day, Taki sets out on a journey to find Mitsuha after he realizes their connection has been broken. Along the way, he uncovers a shocking truth about Mitsuha's town and the events that led up to their separation. Taki is determined to reconnect with Mitsuha and prevent a catastrophic event that could change their lives forever.

Without giving away too much of the plot, "Your Name." is a beautiful and emotional story about the power of human connection and the lengths we'll go to protect the people we care about. It's a must-watch for fans of anime and romantic films alike.

The Production of "Your Name."

"Your Name." was written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, who was inspired to create the film after visiting the town of Yuriage in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, following the Great East Japan Earthquake. The sketches he drew during his visit were shown in exhibitions and served as the inspiration for the town of Itomori in the film.

The film features the voices of Ryunosuke Kamiki and Mone Kamishiraishi, with animation direction by Masashi Ando and character design by Masayoshi Tanaka. The orchestral score and soundtrack were composed by Radwimps.

"Your Name." premiered at the 2016 Anime Expo in Los Angeles and was theatrically released in Japan in August 2016. It received critical acclaim for its story, animation, music, visuals, and emotional weight, and grossed over $382 million worldwide.

In addition to the film, a light novel of the same name was published a month prior to the film's premiere. A live-action American remake by Paramount Pictures is currently in development.
