The Japanese animated film 'Your Name,' directed by Makoto Shinkai, was released in Japan to critical acclaim and commercial success.
The film was released internationally, gaining widespread popularity and becoming one of the highest-grossing anime films worldwide.
Mitsuha wishes to live a different life and escape her rural hometown, Itomori, aspiring to experience Tokyo city life.
Taki and Mitsuha begin mysteriously switching bodies intermittently, unaware initially of the phenomenon's significance.
Taki and Mitsuha develop a method to communicate during their body switches through leaving messages and notes for each other.
After several switches, Taki and Mitsuha finally meet in person in the timeline when Mitsuha is in Taki's body, realizing their connection.
Taki learns that Mitsuha's town, Itomori, was destroyed by a comet impact three years ago, changing the timeline's understanding.
Taki and Mitsuha, using their connection across time, attempt to warn and evacuate the townspeople of Itomori to prevent the comet disaster.
The comet Tiamat breaks apart; a fragment hits Itomori, causing massive destruction and casualties.
After the timeline shifts, Taki struggles to remember Mitsuha as their connection weakens due to the altered events.
Years later, Taki and Mitsuha encounter each other at a staircase in Tokyo, sensing their past connection but unable to fully recall it.
Taki and Mitsuha finally call each other by name, rekindling their bond and closing the story on a hopeful note.
