A transcendental love

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2017)

This animation tells a story where a teenage girl from a rural town and a Tokyo guy juxtapose their bodies when they wake up one day. Their lives are strangely intertwined, until the day when a beautiful comet strikes the Earth.
"Your Name" is a love story but it is not a conventional love story. It features time warp and body switch, which is very much science fiction. However, the tone of the film remains down to earth and innocent, so the science fiction element is at the background. The time warp makes me think hard to see if it is logical, and whether it creates any alternate parallel universe! The love story is sweet because it first tells how two people cope with their new strange lives, and then they develop a transcendental love that survives even the biggest impact.
