Your Name, written and directed by Makoto Shinkai and released in 2016, is one of the highest-grossing anime movies.

It tells the story of two high school students, Taki and Mitsuha. Without having been met in person, they are able to swap bodies with one another unwillingly. At first, they bring trouble into one another’s lives. 

In order to meet her personally, Taki comes looking for Mitsuha. Since he doesn’t know her village’s name, he sketches her village’s landscape from his memory. In his search for the village, he finds out that the village was destroyed by a comet three years ago.

The story doesn’t end here; there is still a chance of saving her and the village, and this is where the real story starts.  To know the ending, you have to watch it.
