Your Name.
Rent/Purchase
High schoolers Mitsuha and Taki are complete strangers living separate lives. But one night, they suddenly switch places. Mitsuha wakes up in Taki’s body, and he in hers. This bizarre occurrence continues to happen randomly, and the two must adjust their lives around each other.
What critics thought
Makoto Shinkai's body-swap romance is one of the most broadly acclaimed anime films in recent memory, drawing praise for animation that fuses photorealistic detail with emotional expressiveness. The rare point of friction is whether its increasingly intricate plot serves or overwhelms its tender core — a complaint the near-universal enthusiasm mostly drowned out.
