Synopsis: The Kimi no Na wa. film's "story of miracles and love" revolves around Mitsuha and Taki. Mitsuha is a female high school student who lives in a rural town nestled deep in the mountains. Her father is the mayor and isn't at home much, and she lives with her elementary school-aged little sister and her grandmother. Mitsuha has an honest personality, but she doesn't like the customs of her family's Shinto shrine, nor does she like her father participating in an election campaign. She laments that she lives in a confined rural town, and yearns for the wonderful lifestyle of living in Tokyo. Taki is a male high school student who lives in central Tokyo. He spends time with his friends, works part-time at an Italian restaurant, and is interested in architecture and fine arts. One day, Mitsuha has a dream where she is a young man. Taki also has a dream where he is a female high school student in a town in the mountains that he has never been to. What is the secret to their dreams of personal experience?

Opinion: From one of my all time favorite anime producer/writer, and previous storyline maker of 5 Centimeters Per Second, Makoto Shinkai, comes a new, unique and thrilling movie named Kimi no na wa. The movie's plot is interesting and raises an unique question about the differences in lifestyles between two of the protagonists. From the synopsis, you get a feel for the shape of the plot and characters but there's an air of mystery behind the plot--ending the blurb with a question, perhaps rhetorical. Maybe, there's a switch of bodies or minds with a hint of romance like in Koroko Connect and Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches. The novel is published and a movie adaption is already in the talks with interesting sound tracks made by RADWIMPS.
