Makoto Shinkai directed Your Name, which was released in 2016. The story centers on Mitsuha, a girl from a rural town, and Taki, a boy living in Tokyo. They mysteriously swap bodies and begin to experience each other’s lives. They leave notes and messages to communicate, but things take a turn when Mitsuha disappears. Taki later learns that her town was destroyed in a disaster three years earlier. Determined to save her, he finds a way to change the past. The animation is rich in detail and emotion. The movie’s combination of romance and fantasy deserved far more recognition.
