00:00.250 --> 00:06.240
A girl. A girl. A girl. I mean, a guy.

00:26.890 --> 00:35.010
Hello and welcome to our week There Yet in exploration and education and anime. I am Patrick dugan, your anime idiot.

00:35.090 --> 00:37.474
I'm Dan hollander, an anime expert.

00:37.602 --> 00:42.186
I'm brenda mccullough. You don't have a funny thing with this one. I didn't think.

00:42.208 --> 00:47.290
This far ahead are your Darchild freaky Friday.

00:47.710 --> 00:53.066
I'm Bernard mccullough, your anime, Jamie Lee Curtis. Thank you for the allyou there, dana.

00:53.098 --> 00:59.840
You're welcome. I was going to say something, but I might have spoiled the movie, so I didn't want to say it.

01:02.050 --> 01:07.698
So we are back in the same room because it's immediately after the last.

01:07.784 --> 01:10.180
One you heard and work for together.

01:11.350 --> 01:23.462
Yeah. We are on our Christmas time joy. We have for this lovely New Year's episode a lovely movie. dana, what are we watching?

01:23.596 --> 01:29.334
We're watching Your Name, which is possibly my favorite movie, like, ever.

01:29.452 --> 01:30.146
Damn.

01:30.258 --> 01:40.618
I just think it's really beautiful and really good, and I'm really excited for you to watch it. And again, much like with the urine ice, if you don't like it, I will kill myself, which isn't something to.

01:40.624 --> 01:43.738
Joke about, so it must have a.

01:43.744 --> 01:45.806
Threat now that we're right here in the same room.

01:45.988 --> 01:47.520
States are high.

01:47.970 --> 01:49.294
I'll make you watch.

01:49.412 --> 01:50.080
No.

01:50.770 --> 01:52.030
Or I'll cry.

01:52.870 --> 02:01.890
So, Brendan, any experience with this movie since we know dana has strong feelings of strong advocate? Yes.

02:01.960 --> 02:11.126
I've actually also watched this probably back when it came out around that time just because it was so popular. So many people were talking about it. I was just like, yeah, let me check this out.

02:11.228 --> 02:13.426
Yeah, this was 2016.

02:13.538 --> 02:30.090
It came out in theaters in America in April of 2017. No, it was 2016. Wait, hold on. It was 2017, but it was right after I started my internship.

02:32.050 --> 02:37.390
And we all know I always wait to see it on the official licensed beatrice girlies.

02:39.570 --> 02:41.754
We are a law abiding citizens.

02:41.802 --> 02:48.530
But I think it did, like, come out in 2016 yeah. When it made its way to America in 2017.

02:48.950 --> 02:49.826
Got you.

02:49.928 --> 02:50.580
Yeah.

02:51.190 --> 03:04.630
So I'm going in blind, as usual. I'm going to give a guess. I'm fairly certain this movie is a gay love story and something about a peach.

03:09.610 --> 03:12.650
I got more questions about your guess than the movie.

03:15.310 --> 03:22.540
Oh, that's another your name movie. Sorry, but yeah, I understand.

03:23.630 --> 03:25.020
Call me by your name.

03:25.790 --> 03:27.520
That's lost on me.

03:27.890 --> 04:03.514
So, yeah, we are going to watch the movie, and we will be right back. This was a good movie. There's a lot going on here, but.

04:03.632 --> 04:05.542
There is some good feelings.

04:05.686 --> 04:11.840
Yeah, it's a fun wrap, for sure.

04:13.330 --> 04:20.880
Aren't these dana episodes always better than mine, where you just need, like, a towel to waive away the cold sweat from? Just like, I don't feel good.

04:22.690 --> 04:24.446
I feel good about myself.

04:24.548 --> 04:27.358
Now I want to go take on the work.

04:27.444 --> 04:31.886
Yeah. And with Brandon, it's just like, I need to take a shower.

04:32.078 --> 04:33.218
Yours are I want to take on.

04:33.224 --> 04:34.066
The world, and mine are.

04:34.088 --> 04:38.550
I want to hide from the world in my little hole and never escape from this horrible, horrible place.

04:38.700 --> 04:41.640
I will never let myself see the light of day again.

04:42.010 --> 04:43.750
Now you know why I'm so pale.

04:45.530 --> 04:56.234
So I'm going to need you two to carry me through this because I stopped taking notes a significant amount of time before the end.

04:56.352 --> 05:00.290
Probably like, half an hour before. He just stopped.

05:00.470 --> 05:05.194
Yeah, because a lot was going on and I wasn't grossed.

05:05.322 --> 05:07.390
So sign of a good movie.

05:09.250 --> 05:11.360
Hop on my back. Here we go.

05:13.030 --> 05:20.722
All right, so starts off with I heard for you.

05:20.856 --> 05:39.800
Great. Hold on, let me gather myself. All right, so in the beginning, we just get, like, a really pretty shot of the sky and clouds and something falling down. What is it? I don't know.

05:41.850 --> 05:45.574
The anime gods are blessing this. Yeah, it's Jesus.

05:45.622 --> 05:48.170
We tricked you. It's another Jesus anime episode.

05:48.750 --> 05:49.594
Got you.

05:49.712 --> 06:25.510
You got me again. I played myself, and there's kind of, like, a little dialogue thingy going on where it's the two main characters, mitsuha and Taki, and they're both kind of vaguely talking about how they are missing something and they don't know what it is. It just feels like something's been missing in their lives. And then I forget the exact quote, but it's something about nothing more and nothing less than a beautiful view. And then there's an opening.

06:26.170 --> 06:45.366
This is actually something I don't know if I entirely forgot about or if I just didn't see the first time I saw this movie, because I don't remember this at all. And it honestly kind of felt like especially with the dialogue in the beginning, it kind of felt like this was the trailer or commercial for it, and then they just added it onto the front of it for the dvd bluray.

06:45.478 --> 06:52.862
What I saw in the theaters, I was really surprised because I was like, Is it a movie, or are they about to show me, like, four episodes of something? Maybe.

06:52.996 --> 06:53.534
Okay.

06:53.652 --> 06:55.154
I feel like that's something they do.

06:55.272 --> 06:55.890
Yeah.

06:56.040 --> 07:04.290
So it was in the theatrical version, it was because they've done that with a digimon try, which is, like, a recent reboot of the digimon series.

07:05.050 --> 07:08.280
In Japan, it was did they try to reboot it?

07:10.810 --> 07:13.000
You learned nothing from the last time.

07:14.170 --> 07:15.160
I'm sorry.

07:17.690 --> 07:26.618
No, but for digimon try in Japan, they released it as, like, four movies, and then in America, they broke it up into three episodes per movie. So it was like twelve episodes or so.

07:26.704 --> 07:26.906
Yeah.

07:26.928 --> 07:29.702
So, yeah, there's something they've been doing more of lately.

07:29.766 --> 07:34.122
Yeah. So I thought maybe that was what it was, but it's not. This movie just has an opening.

07:34.186 --> 07:34.462
Yeah.

07:34.516 --> 07:38.510
And I can tell you the songs in this movie. slap.

07:41.650 --> 07:43.690
It'S some good bangers.

07:43.770 --> 07:59.742
Yeah. So we get an opening, and it does foreshadow the entire movie, if you're paying attention. And you know what happens in it? There's a moment spoilers.

07:59.806 --> 08:01.950
I mean, it's a spoiler podcast.

08:02.030 --> 08:23.150
Yeah, yeah. There's a moment in the opening where they're standing back to back and as Taki is growing older, you see mitsuha stop the night of the comment. Like the outfit she's in, she disappears. Whereas when mitsuha, it's like the other side of it. She actually grows up, like with Taki.

08:24.290 --> 08:25.040
Yeah.

08:27.570 --> 08:34.834
I really wanted to pay attention to like the foreshadowing this time. And I took a lot of notes down of like quotes that I feel.

08:34.872 --> 08:37.218
Like pay off later.

08:37.304 --> 08:49.400
Yeah. And we start right out with just a voice to meet you being like, talking, don't you remember me? And you're just like, what is happening?

08:50.570 --> 08:52.600
Who are these people?

08:54.090 --> 09:01.580
And she wakes up, she looks down at her titties and just grabs them.

09:01.950 --> 09:05.622
Yeah. Real quick to our first titty grab.

09:05.766 --> 09:09.034
Yeah. But I'm not going to call it.

09:09.072 --> 09:22.000
Tasteful because it is a self titty grab. So it's still titty grab. So you are made to believe.

09:23.090 --> 09:32.638
So her little sister opens the door and she's like, what are you doing? And she's like, get up, it's breakfast. It's breakfast.

09:32.734 --> 09:35.794
Also waking up from a dream to start a movie. Indoor anime.

09:35.842 --> 09:37.062
Check. Got it.

09:37.116 --> 10:35.560
Check. We're on it. Anime. Bingo. And she goes me to cause are you talking to me? She's like, yes. Why are you being so weird? And then she gets out of bed and looks in the mirror and takes off her dress and looks at herself and she's like, oh, what? So that was weird. And that's just how it starts. And you're just like, alright, cool, here we go. But then things kind of get normal because she goes down to eat breakfast with her grandmother and her little sister yo tsuha. And she's like acting quote normal again, as her sister remarks. And she's like, what are you talking about? And she's like, you were being weird yesterday. And throughout this whole first day in the movie, everybody says this to her. She meets some friends SAYAKA and testy and they're like, oh, you don't look a mess today.

10:36.570 --> 10:40.246
You don't look like hot garbage for once. Yeah, thanks friends.

10:40.348 --> 10:50.870
Yeah. They also have a town wide PA system, which is weird. I don't know if that's normal for small towns in Japan because I've never been to a small town in Japan.

10:51.030 --> 11:06.126
Yeah, I wasn't liking that. Just oh, I'm I'm chilling at home and then hey, the government here. Hey, sorry. It got very libertarian as I was saying it and I was feeling it, so I apologize.

11:06.238 --> 11:08.322
Hey, it's your local government here.

11:08.456 --> 11:10.738
Stop doing that bad thing you're doing. We're watching you do.

11:10.824 --> 11:11.362
Yeah.

11:11.496 --> 11:12.420
Oh no.

11:12.950 --> 11:59.826
Also I just have so many notes throughout my phone document of just the background is so pretty. This animation is beautiful because it is it's all so, so pretty and I'll never get over it. I don't know how many times I've watched it? Now this might be like the fourth or fifth time I've seen this, but every time I watch it, there's like enough time in between that I just forget how much I love it and how beautiful it is. But so she's walking to school, they pass the mayor of the town, and we find out that the mayor of the town is her father. And he calls her out on her posture in front of everyone in the town. Or a few people. He's speaking in front of like a crowd of like ten or 15 people.

11:59.928 --> 12:00.580
Yeah.

12:02.470 --> 12:11.400
There were some people making fun of her for being the mayor's daughter. And it's like, what? Why someone for her family?

12:12.010 --> 12:16.822
I mean, shitty kids will make fun of anyone for any reason. It doesn't have to make sense.

12:16.956 --> 12:19.094
Yeah, that's true. Good point.

12:19.212 --> 12:23.080
Look at that kid. He's got all that money. That's not a bad thing.

12:23.710 --> 12:29.580
Okay, look at that kid. He has no money. Okay, I thought we were mad at rich people.

12:30.690 --> 13:07.030
Okay, so she goes to school and the teacher is talking about these words. I didn't write all three of them down. I wrote down taco Kate and kata Wade doki. And they both mean like, who are you? But they also mean, they say specifically in the movie the time where night and day meet, so twilight. And during that time you might encounter something that's not quite human and that is foreshadowing.

13:10.730 --> 13:14.682
We're going into the fay wild times.

13:14.736 --> 13:21.582
There, and pretty much me too. Ha is just like the classic, like, as soon as I graduate, I'm getting out of here.

13:21.716 --> 13:23.870
Country girl, big dreams of a big city.

13:23.940 --> 13:26.090
Yeah, I hate this town.

13:26.250 --> 13:28.190
I'm into popcon.

13:28.850 --> 13:48.680
Let's go eat pizza. They leave school, and at school her friends keep telling her about how weird she was being yesterday. And people in class make fun of her because the teacher is like, oh, you know your name today.

13:49.850 --> 13:51.378
Get called up by the teacher.

13:51.474 --> 14:11.770
Yeah. Her friend tessie has this weird theory that it's her in a past life or a future life or something like that. But they're walking around town and her and SAYAKA are being oh, that was sonic's name asa.

14:12.110 --> 14:14.470
We refused to color by that, so I forgot.

14:14.550 --> 14:15.500
You all did.

14:17.250 --> 14:20.810
We cannot name her sonic in this episode.

14:20.890 --> 14:21.722
She's not blue.

14:21.786 --> 14:22.874
She doesn't we can't.

14:22.922 --> 14:24.030
It doesn't work as well.

14:24.100 --> 14:25.600
Final color. Pick the cat.

14:29.090 --> 14:30.618
So what did SAYAKA?

14:30.714 --> 14:43.990
So SAYAKA and Mikuha are kind of walking around the town, like lamenting their boring lives because they're like, oh, there's not a mall. There's like one restaurant, two pubs for some reason.

14:44.060 --> 14:44.582
Hell yeah.

14:44.636 --> 14:56.090
Which is a good joke. I think that's really funny. And then tessie is like, stop being this way, let's go to a cafe. And they're like a cafe. But he just takes them to a vending machine.

14:56.670 --> 15:01.754
He seems pretty resigned with like, I'm going to grow up here. I'm going to stay here, I'm going to die here.

15:01.792 --> 15:19.300
Yeah, that is something I wrote down, because SAYAKA asks him, like, what do you think you'll do after we graduate from high school? And he says, I'll probably just keep living a normal life in this town. And this was one of the things that I was like, I'm emotional already.

15:19.750 --> 15:25.182
I mean, you can if you're happy here, but if you're not happy yeah, he seems contented.

15:25.246 --> 16:01.310
Like, he's not as restless as me. Too hot. And then we see him at home, and his father owns a construction site, and mitsuha's dad is also there, and they're kind of like colluding and tessie's just kind of like, mikdeha and I have really similar dad.

16:03.410 --> 16:06.206
And you can see where she is from his window.

16:06.238 --> 16:16.450
Yeah. There's also a moment where his father is like, hey, go down the construction site tomorrow and learn how to work explosives. And it's just like, weird.

16:18.870 --> 16:20.530
Check off the dynamite.

16:21.750 --> 16:41.820
Explosion is imminent. So yeah, he sees mitsuha and her little sister yo tuha are performing a ritual this evening where they do this dance in a shrine. brendan's dancing, but it was beautiful.

16:42.210 --> 16:44.366
It was exactly how they did it.

16:44.388 --> 16:44.958
Exactly.

16:45.124 --> 16:46.720
I let you do that.

16:47.250 --> 16:49.870
I have memorized this is also my favorite movie.

16:52.470 --> 17:15.080
So he goes down there to see what's going on and SAYAKA is already there, but they're doing this tradition where maidens dance, then eat some rice, then spit up the eaten rice in a little vial, and they let it ferment. I wrote down what it's called later.

17:17.850 --> 17:19.290
I just say gross.

17:19.870 --> 17:24.700
I said it was pretty gross. Oh, I wrote it down. Where is it?

17:25.390 --> 17:29.130
Did we say that they live in the shrine?

17:29.810 --> 17:30.560
Yeah.

17:31.570 --> 17:50.190
This isn't a fun hobby of hers. They live with their grandmother, who is in charge of the local shrine, and so they are part of the family that will uphold the town's religious traditions.

17:50.270 --> 18:07.030
Yeah. The rice sake is called kuchikami sake. So she does that. The bullies are there making fun of her. And I was just like, Leave her alone. She's there passing down traditions. Let's.

18:09.230 --> 18:10.410
Our hero.

18:12.670 --> 18:19.340
I should have paid attention of how long it took him to get on his motorcycle and leave when we were watching it.

18:19.870 --> 18:21.760
I believe maybe matter, too.

18:22.450 --> 18:34.190
Thank you. So, yeah, she's passing on traditions. After it's over, she's again just like, being really, like, this town.

18:34.350 --> 18:35.582
This town sucks.

18:35.646 --> 18:42.530
Her sister remarks on how they should sell the kuchi kami zakay, because who wouldn't buy that?

18:42.680 --> 18:46.078
But also sell videos of, like, her making it like, housemade.

18:46.174 --> 18:50.262
So pretty much just pander to pervert her nine year old.

18:50.316 --> 18:52.354
Yeah, I was surprised the younger sister.

18:52.402 --> 18:58.778
Was saying, yeah, and they have some pretty funny moments in this, where in this one, she's, like, imagining what the.

18:58.784 --> 19:02.186
Ad would look like, and mito says.

19:02.208 --> 19:04.294
Like, oh, that'd be against liquor.

19:04.342 --> 19:05.430
Taxation balls.

19:05.510 --> 19:08.380
And her sister's like, that's the only problem with it.

19:09.390 --> 19:22.674
And she runs down the stairs and she calls out to the lake. She says, I hate this town. I hate this life. I hope I'm a handsome Tokyo boy in the next life. And I'm just like, wow, what a.

19:22.712 --> 19:24.578
Very specific thing to show.

19:24.664 --> 19:42.098
Yeah. And then we see a very handsome tomato boy tattoo. So we get him, he wakes up, and surprise, it's me. Too hot. They freaky Friday.

19:42.194 --> 19:42.840
Yeah.

19:45.050 --> 19:47.062
She also dills her new body because.

19:47.116 --> 19:48.918
Yeah, I was going to say it goes both ways.

19:49.004 --> 19:49.254
Yeah.

19:49.292 --> 19:50.406
God diddle the new thing.

19:50.508 --> 20:19.860
Yeah, she gets to grab a stick. And it was at this point, too, that I was like, this movie has really good acting because he has to pretend whoever played Taki has to recognize her speech patterns and be able to portray her as Taki in an effective way and saying for him, I mean, thank for her. And I think that's amazing.

20:20.470 --> 20:23.838
They have to pretend to be a character being another character.

20:24.014 --> 20:24.740
Yeah.

20:27.590 --> 20:35.894
And we get a little hint at it later with mitsua, but it's not really dressed with hockey. But no monster, either of them. So check out dead Parent.

20:36.012 --> 20:43.894
Yeah. I mean, we don't know what happened to taki's mom. Yeah, but mitsuha's mom is dead. Dead mom club. We're getting all the tropes.

20:43.942 --> 21:02.042
Yeah. We do need to make actual bingo cards because we're close to, like, five in a row. We got Titty Grab Dream. Wake up. We got mom. We are a free space and one away from having bingo.

21:02.106 --> 21:02.622
That's true.

21:02.676 --> 21:10.290
Okay, two merch ideas right now. stickers that say, we got Titty Grab and team jackets that say Dead Mom Club.

21:11.590 --> 21:12.818
Perfect. Write it down.

21:12.904 --> 21:18.126
You'll find these on our website shortly. I don't know how you make it.

21:18.248 --> 21:19.560
Can't promise that.

21:20.410 --> 21:31.180
So, yeah, she thinks she's in a dream. She's just thinking, oh, how realistic is this? And she's like, I have to pee. Which upsets her. It would have set me too, probably.

21:31.710 --> 21:32.460
Yeah.

21:33.310 --> 21:45.920
So, yeah, she just thinks she's in a dream. And then she goes to school because her dad told her to. His dad. taki's dad told me, too hot in taki's body to go to school.

21:46.530 --> 21:48.874
Oh, God, this is going to be so complicated.

21:48.922 --> 22:09.030
As I was taking notes, I kept saying, like, he's doing this. But I was referring to mitsuha. And I was like, oh, fuck. So she does go to school. She realizes she's in Tokyo, which is a super cool, more beautiful backgrounds and animations moment because we get all those really pretty shots of Tokyo.

22:09.690 --> 22:11.858
Love the overhead train shots.

22:11.954 --> 22:25.610
Did you? I knew you would. So she gets to school, and taki's friend, ida tucasa tucasa nikasa.

22:29.230 --> 22:30.960
I'm sorry, I have to leave.

22:32.050 --> 23:10.060
He comes up to Taki, puts his arm around him, and he's like, you didn't answer my call. And like sugar. I'm getting it. And then they eat lunch. And my favorite joke in the whole movie is right here. So they ask where Taki has been and mitsuha goes through the many different ways you can say I in Japanese. So she starts out with the feminine and then just a couple of other ones that are, like, formal and just wrong. And then she ends on ode. And they're like, yeah, that's the one.

23:10.510 --> 23:11.818
You got the right one now.

23:11.904 --> 23:29.520
But it's so funny. And, like, this movie should never have been dubbed because there are moments like this where it just doesn't make sense. In the dub, they have him go, I me. What's grammar? And it's like what?

23:30.050 --> 23:31.198
It doesn't work.

23:31.284 --> 23:35.034
It just doesn't work. But that's my favorite joke. I love that joke.

23:35.082 --> 23:40.590
We'll also point out we did watch the sub because typically we watch the up. So this was a specific request.

23:40.670 --> 24:03.238
Yeah, I very specifically wanted to watch stubs. And I was like, dude, don't even worry about taking notes. So I wasn't mad when he stopped. So they decided and they're really cute friends because Taki doesn't have a lunch. And they combine their lunches and share with him. I just love good pals.

24:03.414 --> 24:06.410
That says more about me because I was like, I'd be like, Tough shit.

24:07.470 --> 24:11.180
So would I. I appreciate that other people are nice enough to do that.

24:11.630 --> 24:19.040
I would be nice enough to do it because I'm not in the scenario where someone would make me do it. I don't have to prove myself to either of them.

24:21.490 --> 24:40.966
So then they say, oh, we should go to a cafe. Which mitsuha is very excited for because she doesn't get to go to cafes. Yeah. And she's like, It's so much money. And out loud in taki's body, she's like, that's just a dream. It doesn't matter. And his friends are kind of just.

24:40.988 --> 24:43.542
Like, whoa, all right.

24:43.596 --> 24:46.278
But they don't really do anything. They're just kind of like, what?

24:46.364 --> 24:47.202
You're being weird.

24:47.266 --> 24:48.866
You're being weird, Taki.

24:48.978 --> 25:02.300
Yeah. At so many points in this movie, they throw up red flags of like, oh, it's a dream. We're all going to die. And just things are dropping. People are like, huh? That's awesome. Anyway oh, well, yeah.

25:02.990 --> 25:27.220
So she does spend a lot of money on some very delicious looking pancakes. And then an alarm goes off and it's like, oh, it's time for Taki to go to work. And she's like, Where does he work? And this is at the point at which point we kind of started discussing that. That is a very real nightmare of, like, having to go to a job where you have no idea what you're doing but you're expected to do all of these things.

25:29.030 --> 25:43.882
We'll find out that he's a waiter. It seems like a high end Italian restaurant. So not only is it stressful to work at a job you know nothing about and don't know where it is, but also it's an incredibly stressful job if you do know what's happening.

25:44.016 --> 25:51.610
Incredibly stressful. And you have to interact with a bunch of other people that do know what they're doing. And they're like, hey, idiot, you keep messing up.

25:51.680 --> 26:07.790
Yeah. It's pretty much just a montage of people yelling at copies because he doesn't know what he's doing anymore. And then some skinny dudes put a toothpick in their pizza and call him over. And they're like, hey, kid, there's a toothpick in our pizza.

26:07.950 --> 26:10.100
What you're going to do about it?

26:11.350 --> 26:20.680
And then she's like, hey, mom. Hey. We're already in there. Yeah, we are. All right, leave me in.

26:22.970 --> 26:24.246
You heard it.

26:24.428 --> 26:51.150
You heard it here first, folks. My mom is a star. So mitsuha, as Taki says, there are no toothpicks at Italian restaurants, which I think, wow, good for her. And then he gets mad. The manager comes over and says, it's on the house. Because that's what you have to do when you're a manager and people are idiots.

26:51.730 --> 26:52.794
It's the best.

26:52.932 --> 27:20.618
Yeah. She's just kind of like after closing, she's like, yeah, I handled it by the book. Thanks for trying. There's nothing we can do. And then she finds that the skeezy guys ripped her skirt. So Taki takes her into the back room, says, Take off your skirt. Which alarms her greatly because Mi suha is just like she doesn't realize that she's in a man's body. A boy's body.

27:20.784 --> 27:21.740
Man boy.

27:24.430 --> 27:32.778
So she's like, oh, look away. And Mitsuhas up the manager's skirt, which gets some brownie points for Taki.

27:32.954 --> 27:41.978
And it's not just like a simple stitch fix. It's like a little hedgehog running across, like a grass field of flowers. It's very adorable.

27:42.074 --> 28:05.990
Very cute. She goes back to taki's apartment, lays on the bed, and she's like, looking through this kid's phone. And she's like, oh, he keeps a diary. That's cute. So she enters a diary. She puts in a diary entry that says that he walked home with the manager, okudera sampai from the restaurant.

28:08.330 --> 28:12.978
And she finds a few pictures on his phone of the manager. Yeah, he's got a little crush.

28:13.074 --> 28:21.018
Yeah. And she writes her name on his hands for some reason. How does that help?

28:21.104 --> 28:29.678
Well, she remembers from when the day after she was acting weird, he left a note for her in her notebook that says, who are you?

28:29.764 --> 28:30.110
Yeah.

28:30.180 --> 28:33.346
So she remembers that and it's like, oh, I'll leave him a note saying who I am.

28:33.448 --> 28:42.660
Yeah. So the next day he wakes up, he's back in his body, and he is a very angry teenage boy.

28:44.790 --> 28:46.162
Teenage boy.

28:46.296 --> 28:48.260
Yeah, that's a good point.

28:53.510 --> 29:03.146
He goes back and goes through his daily routine again. And everyone's doing the same thing that happened while masu was saying, like, hey, you were real weird yesterday. And like, you remember everything.

29:03.248 --> 29:05.466
You remember where you work now? Yeah.

29:05.648 --> 29:06.620
Do me.

29:07.230 --> 29:10.234
Where did all your money go? Yeah.

29:10.272 --> 29:20.686
They invite him to a cafe again. And he's like, oh, I can't. I have work. And then once he leaves, Pucasa's like, thought he was kind of cute yesterday. And I was like, yeah, get him.

29:20.788 --> 29:23.242
Get him, get him. Act on those feelings.

29:23.386 --> 29:25.178
Yeah, don't hide your true feelings.

29:25.274 --> 30:01.658
And then he goes to work. And all of the guys at work are like, what did you do with okude? And he's like, I really don't know. I have no idea what you're talking to you about. I'm really sorry. And then she comes in and winks at him. And it just makes matters worse because they really didn't do anything. They just walks to the train station together. And then we go back to meet suha. And she is also she's back in her body as well. And she finds out that to assert her dominance, taki kicked over a desk in their art class.

30:01.744 --> 30:13.342
Yeah, it was kind of weird. Like, oh, you're really bold yesterday. And I was like, oh, she swapped to the bullies. Like, hey, not going to be a jerk. It's like, no, she's kind of just in our class and just like, fuck this and kick the desk.

30:13.406 --> 30:21.614
Yeah. She overheard people being like, that's the mayor's kid. That's a mayor. Weird insults that aren't really insults.

30:21.662 --> 30:22.066
Yeah.

30:22.168 --> 30:27.620
And then she just kicks it over. And it's like, I'm sorry. Are you talking about who excuse me.

30:28.070 --> 30:42.586
But yeah, I made the note. He did some shit in her body. Because like, they make it seem like he did something super rash, when in reality, it was just like I did like the moment where he's like, they're talking about me, right? And the side is like they are.

30:42.768 --> 30:44.186
Like, yeah, fuck you.

30:44.368 --> 30:56.506
Kicks over the desk. And then they figure out what's going on, that in their dreams, they're switching bodies. And then we get a montage, another opening.

30:56.698 --> 31:06.960
So they decide to set some ground rules when they switch bodies because they can't keep on spending each other's money and fondling themselves.

31:07.350 --> 31:25.446
And I like that they both set ground rules for each other. And we see like, the first rule for both is yeah, for me to stop touching my body. Don't look at my body. Don't do anything with my body. And taki's first rule is just like money. Stop spending my money. Like, those are the priorities for each of us.

31:25.468 --> 31:32.490
It's weird because I mean, I guess it's just because she has the opportunity to. But she must have money. Her dad's the mayor.

31:32.910 --> 31:37.100
They do. But it's also a small town, so there's nothing place to spend it.

31:37.550 --> 31:59.042
This is my favorite song. There are four songs in the movie. This one's my favorite. I didn't realize this before, but every morning, or maybe not every morning, but she falls out of his bed. And I realize it's because she sleeps on the floor. Yeah, I thought that was really funny. I thought that was cute because I never realized it before.

31:59.176 --> 32:04.626
Anyone who's ever changed your bed location in your room knows it takes like a month to get used to where it is.

32:04.648 --> 32:08.166
Yeah, I would do that all the time as a kid.

32:08.268 --> 32:10.680
Me too. Switch it up.

32:12.650 --> 32:14.950
And some comment bullshit's happening too.

32:15.100 --> 32:15.606
Yeah.

32:15.708 --> 32:18.102
And some background news reports, what have you.

32:18.156 --> 32:18.902
Those are number important.

32:18.956 --> 32:32.940
Probably not important in background news reports. When we see Mitsuhas, they discussed that there is comet tiamat that is visible to the naked eye for a few days.

32:37.730 --> 32:47.278
Then we get mitsua and her grandma and her sister going up to like this mountain area yeah. For their rituals, for their witchcraft.

32:47.454 --> 32:48.366
Witchcraft.

32:48.478 --> 33:06.520
Taki is in mitsuha's body this day. And they travel up to a mountain where the god of their shrine's body is. And the body of their god is just like a big stone chair thing.

33:07.450 --> 33:07.910
Sure.

33:07.980 --> 33:09.378
Why? This is a big rock.

33:09.474 --> 33:27.150
This is a big rock in the middle of a crater. And they're taking oh. And during this traveling sequence, we get their grandma doing this whole speech about something called mitsubi. And I wrote down, ah, yes, everything is connected speech.

33:27.490 --> 33:29.770
I just wrote down, mitsubi is the force.

33:29.850 --> 33:32.590
It surrounds us and it changed us.

33:32.660 --> 33:45.378
Yeah, pretty much in the beginning, she's saying like, MuseumI is everything mustubi is time. And then when they share some drink, she's like, that's misobi too.

33:45.544 --> 33:47.278
Everything is mushy.

33:47.454 --> 33:49.430
Grandma, I'm starting to think you're full of bush.

33:50.410 --> 33:59.786
And then she talks about how they make braided cords in their shrine. And she talks about how those braided cords also represent time twirling and tumbling all over itself.

33:59.968 --> 34:06.410
They can disconnect and reconnect at different intervals where it doesn't make sense, but still, one timeline.

34:07.150 --> 34:13.180
Jeremy barami, which is a good place reference for anyone who gets it.

34:14.930 --> 34:24.340
For once, I'm not the one making cryptic references. It's at least this century. So you're doing better than me.

34:25.430 --> 34:33.778
So yeah, they're taking the Kuchi Kami sake, or as I wrote, sake, spit stuff to present.

34:33.864 --> 34:35.070
Spit drank.

34:35.230 --> 34:37.750
She just know weird spit stuff to.

34:37.820 --> 34:51.558
Present to the god of their shrine. They do that. And Taki kind of has like a moment of like because their grandma says that the spit stuff is half of mitsuha.

34:51.654 --> 35:00.650
And he's like, whoa, whoa, dude. She spit half her soul into this cup.

35:03.470 --> 35:13.034
And then as they're walking back home, the mitsuha grandma looks at her and says, you're dreaming, aren't you? And it's just like, oh, Grandma knows.

35:13.082 --> 35:14.194
She knows too much.

35:14.392 --> 35:15.694
We have to kill Grandma.

35:15.742 --> 35:16.740
Take her out.

35:18.550 --> 35:33.666
And then we jump back to Taki and he's back in his body. And he gets a text from Okadera saying that she's excited to spend time with him today. And he finds out that mitsuha set up a date with his crush.

35:33.858 --> 35:36.840
The ultimate self wing match. Yeah.

35:39.530 --> 35:57.440
And we also see mitsuha on this day. And she wakes up and she's like, getting ready for school. And she says that she wanted to go on the date. And she's like looking in the mirror and crying. And she doesn't understand why. And I was just like, it's because you love him.

35:57.890 --> 36:05.490
I just write that spontaneous crying. Because there's a few scenes, multiple scenes where people just like, why am I crying? They don't understand why.

36:05.560 --> 36:09.330
That's me watching this movie. Why am I crying?

36:11.190 --> 36:20.118
I feel like I can understand where mitsuba is coming from, mostly from like, I put in all the goddamn work to get a date with the manager. And now he's getting to enjoy it.

36:20.204 --> 36:21.160
Dang it.

36:22.890 --> 36:30.602
So he meets Okadera at the train station, and they go to like a sky place. What are those called?

36:30.736 --> 36:31.690
Airport?

36:32.190 --> 36:38.586
No, they go to the Space needle, those type of places to just look down at the city.

36:38.768 --> 36:39.814
Like a tower.

36:39.942 --> 36:42.702
Yeah. Sky space. I don't know.

36:42.756 --> 36:43.360
Sure.

36:44.450 --> 36:45.646
A VIEWY point.

36:45.748 --> 36:46.880
A VIEWY point.

36:47.650 --> 36:48.910
Assassin'S creed.

36:49.970 --> 36:55.970
And they also go to a gallery where he sees photos of the town that Mistake lives in.

36:56.040 --> 36:59.010
The title of the photogallery was nostalgia.

37:03.830 --> 37:12.002
And it was like at this point where I really noticed that he was wearing the red quarter on his wrist. And I was just like I wrote.

37:12.066 --> 37:16.386
Him like, where the fuck did he get entirely forgetting the later scenes?

37:16.498 --> 37:33.520
Yeah. And I'm just thinking also, like, if that happened three years ago, where she gave him that, how does he not recognize her, like when he's in her body?

37:34.930 --> 37:38.400
I mean, if it happened three years ago, I don't remember what happened last week.

37:38.850 --> 37:39.470
Good point.

37:39.540 --> 37:45.170
Yeah. Especially three years ago. Who did you meet on a bus?

37:45.320 --> 37:45.778
Yeah.

37:45.864 --> 37:47.010
Name one person.

37:47.080 --> 38:09.114
You said, I don't ride buses. So they finished the date. okudera says, you're not the guy that I wanted to go on a date with. You're not being the person you have been. And that's because she obviously likes who tacky is when Mitsuha is in his.

38:09.152 --> 38:09.740
Body.

38:12.030 --> 38:27.098
And he reads on the diary entry about having planned the date, that by the end of the date, the comet should be visible. Like it should be at its brightest. And he looks up at the sky and he's like, what comet?

38:27.194 --> 38:28.202
Ain't no comet.

38:28.266 --> 38:47.774
Ain't no comet. So we know now Mitsuhas, maybe we think right now, maybe she's in another part of the world or something, because we don't see any comments.

38:47.902 --> 38:49.250
Parallel Japan.

38:50.150 --> 38:51.570
Japan prime.

38:53.910 --> 39:15.530
And then we go back to Mitsuha. She decided not to go to school that day. She just wasn't feeling up to it. But then she goes and meets her friends because there's a little ozzy festival going on that day. And she's wearing yukata. And she was super cute because she cut her hair. We love a bob witch.

39:16.990 --> 39:24.366
Got to mix it up. Got to impress that comet never going to be this close to the Earth again. So you got to make a good impression.

39:24.478 --> 39:24.850
Yeah.

39:24.920 --> 39:27.780
Hey, you missed a space rock. You like, what you see?

39:30.710 --> 39:32.020
Evidently not.

39:35.770 --> 39:37.858
Came here to smash. He's going to smash.

39:37.954 --> 39:38.600
No.

39:41.450 --> 40:25.620
Rip. So literally cool. So in this festival, her friends are kind of like, why did she cut her hair? And Testy is like, maybe she broke up with someone. And then sayak is like, why do you guys always think that cutting your hair has to do with breakups? And I was like, I love that. That's funny. And then they go down and look at the comet. And then very abruptly, we change back to taki trying to call Mitsuha. And the call does not go through. And it was at this point we all kind of looked at each other and we were like, why wouldn't he have called before?

40:26.070 --> 40:27.846
Yeah, wasn't all the time.

40:27.948 --> 40:33.526
If they have each other's phone numbers, why wouldn't they try to get in contact with each other?

40:33.628 --> 40:51.340
Yeah, because my first instinct was when they were like, okay, let's set ground rules. I'd be like, great, you're going to meet in person and discuss this. Right? You're going to take, like, a weekend and be like, hey, we're switching bodies. Let's talk this thing out. But no, yeah.

40:51.790 --> 41:01.040
Or when we find out he has her number, like they've exchanged phone numbers. My first thought would be, like, after I switched bodies to someone, I'd wake up and text him like, what the fuck you do?

41:01.650 --> 41:03.134
What do I need to know?

41:03.332 --> 41:06.530
I'm guessing they could have just been talking to each other this whole time.

41:06.600 --> 41:12.590
Just leaving cryptic notes. So the reason though plot.

41:12.750 --> 41:14.142
That's the reason why plot.

41:14.206 --> 41:29.850
I won't say it yet because it was at this point, the first time I saw it, I thought maybe the comment had something to do with it. I was like, maybe they're switching bodies because of the comet being visible. There's some weird cosmic thing going on.

41:30.000 --> 41:39.020
Yeah, because I wrote down the note. Oh, weird. They never switch bodies again after the comet passed and didn't pick up on anything.

41:39.630 --> 42:12.166
So he's an artist, and he kind of just starts gathering as many memories and photos of the place that he can because he never got the name of it. So he just draws the town and he's trying to find it. So he skipped school one day, and Sukasa and okudera go with him to try and find the town. And it's a really cute montage of him actually trying to find it and then them just eating in the background and taking silly pictures of things.

42:12.268 --> 42:16.742
They meet like a mascot at, like, a train station. And okada is like, freaking out.

42:16.796 --> 42:18.306
Like, he's adorable.

42:18.418 --> 42:28.694
It like, moves its hand. And she's like, oh, ain't bad. They end up at a little ramen shop. And it made me want ramen because I love ramen.

42:28.742 --> 42:29.690
It looks very good.

42:29.760 --> 43:17.740
Looks so tasty. And he pulls out the picture he drew because he's kind of like, maybe we should just give up. Like, this probably isn't going to happen. And the waitress and presumably one of the owners of the shop sees it and she's like, oh, that's eta mori. And he's like, oh, yes, that is what it's called. And then her husband or whoever, the chef comes out and he's like, yeah, I grew up there. And it was at this point he was like, oh, take me there. And both his friends and the people that own the restaurant are like, bad news, Jam. You can't I mean, I could kind of take you there. And then we find out that itamori has been gone for three years.

43:21.650 --> 43:25.120
The town burned down 40 years ago.

43:26.290 --> 43:29.840
And in taki aged rapidly and turned to dust now.

43:32.390 --> 43:37.394
So most of the people that so what happened? Let's say what happened.

43:37.432 --> 43:38.146
Let's go back.

43:38.248 --> 43:58.166
The comet broke apart and pretty much just landed in Etomori and completely wrecked the town. And it at this point in the movie where my emotions really reach a peak, or at least the first time I saw it. I was just sitting there with my mouth open because I was like, oh, my God.

43:58.268 --> 44:01.078
Oh. inversely to the comics trajectory.

44:01.254 --> 44:03.660
No. Yeah. This fucked me up real bad.

44:06.030 --> 44:15.406
When I watch movies with people for the end, it's their first time watching it. I'm always kind of like, I couldn't read dugan, but I was like but.

44:15.428 --> 44:26.900
Yeah, this was the beginning of the end for my next, because I was like, okay, you got me. It's not a freaky Friday story. Yeah, it's the lake house.

44:28.870 --> 44:38.120
Oh, God. I heard someone like, when this was too popular, someone compared it to the lake house. And it's like, oh, that movie is ruined for me now because I can't disassociate them now.

44:39.130 --> 45:12.110
So Mitsuha is dead. They go to a library and they pretty much read everything they can about what happened to Ichamori. And okudera finds a book of everyone that died, and it doesn't show it like in the movie because it says specifically, when he finds mitsuba, it says her name and her age. jeez, I'm emotional. Right next to it, there's a name and it says nine. And that's her little sister. Oh, my God. She cried.

45:12.790 --> 45:18.690
Well, they also say that 500 people died or missing a third of the town's population.

45:19.030 --> 45:21.810
Yeah. Oh, my God. I'm going to cry.

45:24.310 --> 45:28.386
Because everyone was gathered in one place for the Autumn Festival.

45:28.578 --> 45:33.206
Yeah, they were all there to greet the common. Hey.

45:33.228 --> 45:35.186
It's our Lord and savior. smush.

45:35.298 --> 45:40.342
Yeah, it pretty much landed, like, exactly where they were having the festival.

45:40.486 --> 45:55.566
Yeah. Because they show the towns next to a lake and they show the crater after the impact and all the water flushed in. So it completely destroyed and submerged the down.

45:55.668 --> 46:04.080
Yeah. They go back to their little motel and talkies just like, lose it.

46:05.010 --> 46:06.062
It's going nuts.

46:06.126 --> 46:19.060
He's going nuts because he's, like, starting to forget her name, and he just gets really upset about it, and he decides to go back to the God's body.

46:20.490 --> 46:25.334
He also goes to check his notes and messages from her, and they all start changing and deleting themselves.

46:25.452 --> 46:28.266
Yeah. Which doesn't really make sense to me.

46:28.368 --> 46:29.830
Yeah. Magic.

46:29.990 --> 46:44.778
Yeah. I feel like it would be more effective if he just opened his phone and they weren't there anyway instead of watching them delete, because it's like we were waiting to do this specifically for when you looked at your app, when.

46:44.784 --> 46:46.482
You realized really surprised.

46:46.566 --> 46:46.862
Yeah.

46:46.916 --> 46:47.486
Got you.

46:47.588 --> 46:51.726
I think it would have been better if he just pulled it out and there was nothing there.

46:51.908 --> 46:54.900
But, you know, he never had a phone.

46:55.510 --> 47:10.166
That's just me being a picky because obviously love this movie. So he gets the guy from the restaurant to take him as far as he can up to the area of.

47:10.188 --> 47:12.230
The God's Body mountain trian.

47:13.130 --> 47:45.658
And he makes it, and he walks through pretty much like a lake. And all three of us were just like, wet jeans, socks, and shoes. Yeah, it was raining, so, I mean, whatever. And he goes underneath the god's body where Mitsuha and yo tuha put their kuchi Kamiisake. And I did write, don't drink the dirt juice. Please don't.

47:45.674 --> 47:49.162
Please dirt juice. Please don't drink the three year old dirt juice.

47:49.306 --> 47:53.470
The three year old spit juice. Three year old dirt spit juice.

47:53.970 --> 47:55.390
He likes backlog.

47:58.570 --> 47:59.318
Wow.

47:59.484 --> 48:01.510
Really get to know the other person better.

48:01.580 --> 48:03.480
Yeah, he does drink it.

48:04.730 --> 48:06.162
He's getting cruel.

48:06.306 --> 48:57.382
Yeah. And then he slips and falls backwards, and he sees on the top of the God's Body shrine, they meet that there's like a mural of a comet hitting the Earth. So it's just like as the prophecy foretold. And then there's a really cool art change, and things get weird. And he just sees mitsuha's whole life before him. He sees her mom die, her dad leaving the shrine, and she lives with her grandma now. And she went to Tokyo. You find out that she had gone to Tokyo, but you don't know why, because she just says to her little sister, I'm going to Tokyo. And that's all you see of it for that moment. And then he wakes up and he's in her body again.

48:57.516 --> 49:03.590
Yeah, but before the comet hits the town.

49:03.670 --> 49:10.366
Yeah. I believe it is the day of the comet being overhead, and he is.

49:10.468 --> 49:14.254
Just grabbing her titties and sobbing, I.

49:14.292 --> 49:18.750
Miss these so much, my friends, my good buddy.

49:20.930 --> 49:48.358
So he wakes up and he decides that he's going to save the town. And he goes around and tells tessie and sciatica what's going to happen. They formulate a plan where they're going to do an explosion up at the construction site. So that prompts everyone to evacuate and SAYAKA is going to use the broadcasting system at their school because she's part of the broadcasting club, to clear everybody out of the town.

49:48.534 --> 49:53.130
How do we get everyone to safely evacuate the town? We become domestic terrorists.

49:53.470 --> 50:13.380
Exactly. She's just kind of starting to look nuts, though. SAYAKA and testy believe her. She tries to go he talkie in mitsuha's body, tries to go to mitsuha's father. But mitsuha's father knows that it's not her, which is interesting.

50:14.150 --> 50:25.202
I guess taki is more, like, assertive and I guess aggressive now because it's a life and death situation. So it's noticeably different than me. So it usually is.

50:25.256 --> 50:40.858
I also didn't write anything about it because I don't know why, but her grandma actually mentions to Mitsuha that she experienced something like that when she was younger, where she would dream and switch bodies with someone, but she doesn't remember who they were.

50:40.944 --> 50:42.586
And so did Mitsua's mom.

50:42.688 --> 50:59.342
Yeah, so I think that moment where he's like, you're not Mitsuha. I think he is kind of like because he says, madness must run in the family. He probably recognizes that from it happening with her mom, depending on how long he knew her mom.

50:59.476 --> 51:00.878
I never even thought of that.

51:01.044 --> 51:02.510
I didn't pick up on that.

51:02.660 --> 51:13.902
Yeah, so she's just starting to look nooks, because she's, like, stopping children and being like, don't go. You have to leave town.

51:13.966 --> 51:18.360
Imagine, like, Billy Madison, like, stay here. Stay as long as you can.

51:19.450 --> 51:34.202
So taki decides to take tessie's bike and go up to the god body because he's thinking that maybe, just maybe, Mitsuha woke up in his body.

51:34.336 --> 51:35.370
God bod.

51:36.190 --> 51:39.980
So he goes up there and.

51:43.010 --> 51:43.374
She.

51:43.412 --> 52:09.270
Wakes up in his body. That does happen. And she goes up to the edge of the mountain where the god is, and she looks down and sees Itomori destroys. And I literally wrote down, imagine having to face your death and the destruction of your town just, like, all at once, because she just breaks down and starts sobbing.

52:10.330 --> 52:11.880
Boy, rough time.

52:12.890 --> 52:32.094
Oh, my God. And then we get the memory of her going to Tokyo. So she goes on the day of the date that she planned. And it's very funny because she's like, I'm going to go to Tokyo. And Yokoh's like, Why? And she's like a date. And she's like, you're going on a date?

52:32.132 --> 52:35.870
And she's like, no, I'm confused.

52:36.930 --> 52:41.200
She just kind of goes to Tokyo and just wanders around.

52:41.650 --> 52:43.434
Well, I think she's trying to find taki.

52:43.482 --> 52:46.574
Oh, yeah, she is. But in order to do that, she's.

52:46.622 --> 52:55.554
Just wandering through because it's three years earlier for him. So all the places he would normally be, he hasn't yet.

52:55.672 --> 53:19.514
Yeah, so I think she also tries to call him at this point, but it doesn't work out because I guess maybe he doesn't have a phone yet or doesn't have that phone number or something because he's just in middle school, just a punk. Just a punk kid in middle school. And then she actually sees him on a train. She goes up to him and says, do you remember me? Like, it's me.

53:19.552 --> 53:23.610
And he's like, whoa, host.

53:25.970 --> 53:55.960
And she's just kind of like, okay, just not bother you. But as she's leaving the train and he's still on it, he says, Wait, who are you? Like, what's your name? And she says, it's me. Too hot. And she tosses her cord at him. She takes the red cord out of her hair and tosses it at him, which I don't know if you knew. The whole thing about the red thread tied around your soulmate's pinky thing. Have you guys heard that?

53:56.890 --> 53:58.422
I've heard it from other anime.

53:58.486 --> 54:14.474
Yeah, it's a Japanese folklore thing of that you have an invisible red thread tied around your pinky, and the other end of it is on your soulmate's pinky. So that little thing is like, symbolic of that.

54:14.592 --> 54:17.722
What if I have one tied around my pinky tied to the other pinky?

54:17.866 --> 54:18.970
Congratulations.

54:19.130 --> 54:20.334
It's a very short.

54:20.532 --> 54:23.520
You'll die alone, but you'll be happy about it.

54:24.370 --> 54:25.678
I'm fine with that.

54:25.844 --> 54:57.206
He's going to suffer, but you're going to be happy. So yeah, we see that memory. And takimi Suha is still riding the bike up to the god's body, and she falls off of it. And I'm just like, sorry about your bike, bud. She just ruins tessie's bike. And then they meet up there. Well, they're both up there, and it's.

54:57.238 --> 54:59.994
Twilight, and they can hear each other.

55:00.032 --> 55:05.018
They can hear each other and they're kind of just running around the perimeter of this crater.

55:05.194 --> 55:10.142
It's like 5 miles around the circumference. It takes them a while.

55:10.276 --> 55:16.820
Yeah, but so as soon as the sun hits the horizon, they see each other.

55:18.710 --> 55:19.778
They switch back.

55:19.864 --> 55:33.080
They switch back. They're in their own bodies. And it's like, really sweet, but at the same time, taki is just like not being himself. He's like trying to be smooth. He's like, I traveled all the way here for you.

55:35.850 --> 55:46.730
And she's immediately like, hey, you grabbed my boobs a bunch, you fucking purse. How did you know? And also not denying it at all.

55:46.880 --> 55:48.266
He says, it was just once, but.

55:48.288 --> 55:51.502
We all know that's a lie every single time.

55:51.636 --> 55:56.334
Yeah. And the piano version of the beginning song starts playing, which you know is.

55:56.372 --> 56:01.790
Just so much love me a reprise.

56:03.910 --> 56:39.846
I wrote the note. They're so in love. I'm emotional. And he tells her what she has to do, and they're like, let's write each other's names on our hands. Or it's his idea. So when they go back, they'll remember each other. But right before she writes his name, she writes her name on his hand. It's coming to a head, guy. She writes her name on his hand. The moment is over and disappears. She disappears. But don't worry. taki wrote his name on her hand, right?

56:39.968 --> 56:40.640
Yeah.

56:43.010 --> 57:06.630
So she plays out the plan with tessie. They blow up the construction zone and they run into town trying to get people to evacuate. SAYAKA is doing the broadcast. The broadcast. And people are believing it until the town hall is like, oh, this ain't us. Let's find out what's happening.

57:06.780 --> 57:09.270
We got to triangulate the signal.

57:13.450 --> 57:19.606
And it's just kind of funny because they're like just yelling, like, leave the town. And like, no one's listening because they're.

57:19.638 --> 57:22.074
Just a couple of high schoolers why.

57:22.192 --> 57:29.126
Especially after they get SAYAKA some adults come and they're like, bad kid. They take her away from the broadcasting.

57:29.158 --> 57:34.380
Room and she's just sobbing like, I'm sorry. I'm whatever, man.

57:35.630 --> 57:40.910
And then they start rebroadcasting. They get a pitch, one of like, we don't know what happened. We'll figure it out. Stay where you are.

57:40.980 --> 58:03.798
Yeah, they're saying, don't evacuate. That wasn't us. And then tessie's like, hey, maybe go talk to your dad and try and figure things out. So she runs to do that. And as she's running, she trips and falls. And she has this memory of like, oh, he wrote his name on my hand. I can't remember his name, but it's on my hand, right?

58:03.884 --> 58:04.886
Kept saying, what's your name?

58:04.908 --> 58:09.000
And I'm just like, you're saying this thing?

58:09.770 --> 58:18.502
And then she looks at her hand and this fucking dude wrote I love you like some kind of idiot.

58:18.646 --> 58:21.882
My desert just really fakes tacky you dumb bitch.

58:22.026 --> 58:23.438
Like, it's cute, whatever.

58:23.524 --> 58:47.400
But oh, my the one chance you've had so long. You know you won't remember anything. This is about clear communication. And then you pull this stunt and you just doom this town to death. You knew it was a life or death situation. And you're like, let's get real cutesy right now. It's like, no.

58:49.210 --> 59:05.638
So she's like, what the fuck ever. And she says, like, you dummy. How am I going to remember your name with this? But she gets up. She's still motivated. She runs to her father's office and he's kind of like, ugh, you again. See it in her eyes that it's.

59:05.654 --> 59:07.162
Her, not you again.

59:07.296 --> 59:47.318
And this is the part that makes me so emotional. And I'm trying not to cry right now and sound like an idiot, but we see shots of people seeing the comet all over the world. And in Japan specifically, we're hearing, like, broadcasts about how lucky they are to be seeing this astral phenomenon and how there's no way it's going to land in a residential area because it's at this point that the comet has broken apart. And like, talkie is outside looking at it and talking about how he's saying the nothing more and nothing less than a beautiful view. Oh, my god.

59:47.404 --> 59:52.694
This part just gets me because this is past hockey. So he just thinks like, hey, it's a meteor.

59:52.742 --> 59:53.194
Cool.

59:53.312 --> 01:00:04.266
Yeah, but just specifically just the thing of how lucky we are to be seeing this just gets me. I don't know why. Just makes me so emotional.

01:00:04.378 --> 01:00:18.094
I think it's the contrast of knowing the devastation that's about to follow and the sheer ignorance of everyone singing and be like, oh, what a beautiful natural phenomenon. Like, granted, they don't know. They have no way of knowing. But us as viewers know that dramatic.

01:00:18.142 --> 01:00:19.746
Irony is too intense for me.

01:00:19.848 --> 01:00:26.010
The world is unknowing that they are about to watch the death of 500 people about to get fucked.

01:00:26.190 --> 01:00:38.460
So we don't see the town evacuate, but we do see the comet just landing and decimating half of itamori. Or all of it, I guess.

01:00:38.910 --> 01:00:41.530
Yeah, it ruins the town.

01:00:43.230 --> 01:01:09.938
So we don't know what happened. We don't know if everyone evacuated. We don't know if Mitsuha lived. And then years passed, and he's wearing a suit. taki is wearing a suit to show that time has passed. But before that, we get a very dramatic moment of him looking at his hand and realizing that he didn't get her name. And he's like, I'm going to remember. Her name is Mitsuha. And he just keeps saying it over and over again. And then he finally bends down to get the pen and writes down, but.

01:01:09.944 --> 01:01:13.262
He can't remember it once again screams.

01:01:13.326 --> 01:01:24.038
I wrote in my notes, tati, you give toad stool, you dumb it. I had to come up with new insults without maddo, because, like, if he wrote it down immediately, he would have been good.

01:01:24.124 --> 01:01:25.142
You had time.

01:01:25.276 --> 01:01:39.194
He shouts it to the heavens, like, eight times. And then once he bends down, he's like, let me not keep repeating this thing out loud. Let me pause, have a quiet moment to myself, and once again proving my.

01:01:39.232 --> 01:01:49.594
Only belief in a higher being figure is a cosmic sense of irony. Just like, oh, it was at that exact moment he forgot. Not earlier.

01:01:49.722 --> 01:01:51.790
Ridiculous bullshit.

01:01:55.270 --> 01:02:19.900
Years later, years later, he talks again about how something feels missing in his life. And he's, like, going he's going to job interviews and talking about how he wants to build. He wants to be, like an architect. He wants to be an architect, and he wants to build cities that are beautiful but also safe, because he's just, like, so inspired by the tragedy in itamori, but he doesn't know why.

01:02:20.750 --> 01:02:25.850
Oh, it was eight years since the comet, and it's five years since taki's time.

01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:32.380
Yeah, I think it's supposed to be 2016. So now it's 2021.

01:02:32.750 --> 01:02:37.606
Future time, flying cars, robots.

01:02:37.798 --> 01:02:43.360
And he meets his friends, and they're like, I have job offers. And he's like, Fuck you guys.

01:02:43.970 --> 01:02:52.418
Yo been there, but you guys are successful. Oh, my gosh, should I be successful? Oh, no.

01:02:52.584 --> 01:02:56.610
And they talk about how bad his suit is. It looks the same.

01:02:56.760 --> 01:02:58.578
I can't tell the difference. It's a suit.

01:02:58.674 --> 01:02:59.906
They're all identical.

01:03:00.018 --> 01:03:11.302
And he overhears some people talking in the cafe after his friends leave. They're talking about getting married. They're talking about going to a bridal fair. And he hears the girl call the guy tessie.

01:03:11.446 --> 01:03:13.830
And he's like, that sounds familiar.

01:03:13.910 --> 01:03:20.566
That sounds so familiar. And he looks at them and it is them. So you're like, hopefully me too. How lived.

01:03:20.598 --> 01:03:26.430
Also, we also saw earlier at the immediate flash forward that the town people were safe.

01:03:27.090 --> 01:03:29.914
They do say that most of the people in town were safe.

01:03:29.962 --> 01:03:37.074
Yeah, they don't give an exact number, but yeah, they say most of the town and the town just happened to be running an emergency trail at that exact time.

01:03:37.192 --> 01:03:39.470
With sheer luck, thank goodness.

01:03:39.630 --> 01:04:02.374
And I just love that they're going to get married. Love that for them. And then even more time passes. Like, it seems like he spends the day with okudera because she's in town. And then it's raining and as okudera leaves, he is walking one way and then a girl with an umbrella is walking the other. And it's me too. Ha.

01:04:02.412 --> 01:04:03.766
We all know it's me too.

01:04:03.788 --> 01:04:12.880
Ha. And he stops and looks at her, but then turns away and walks away. And then she stops and stops and looks at him, but he's walking away. It's just like.

01:04:14.850 --> 01:04:16.990
Comet crossed lovers.

01:04:19.330 --> 01:04:38.338
Reaching. whatnot? Because literally it's literally and then time goes forward again and it's spring and it like shows me suha getting ready for work. And I was wondering where she works. I wonder what she grew up to do. Made me curious.

01:04:38.434 --> 01:04:42.200
She did invest in that dirt spit business.

01:04:43.610 --> 01:04:46.870
She's a billionaire now from all those curvebirds buying.

01:04:47.550 --> 01:04:48.838
I mean, it's Japan.

01:04:48.934 --> 01:05:26.740
Yeah. And they're both on a train, and throughout the movie, we only ever hear, like, older talkies thoughts, but past each other on separate trains. And they see each other. And then the inner monologue transfers from him to her. And she's thinking the same thing, of something being missing from her life. And then we have a montage with them running around trying to find each other. And then he sees her standing at the top of some stairs. And they look at each other and they're like and then they walk past each other.

01:05:27.110 --> 01:05:46.486
But like, at least from takisi, because we're following him, he's running out, like full sprint. And he gets to the stairs, turns, and comes to a full stop, and then tries to act, like cool and casually walking. It's like you literally just locked eyes with this woman and came to a full stop. And now this is your full attention. Don't act like you didn't do this on purpose.

01:05:46.518 --> 01:05:48.022
It just has to be smooth.

01:05:48.166 --> 01:05:48.822
So dumb.

01:05:48.886 --> 01:05:55.006
So stupid. So they passed each other on the steps. The first time I thought I was.

01:05:55.028 --> 01:05:59.006
Like, they can't do this. No, if it ended right now, I.

01:05:59.028 --> 01:06:17.430
Would be so upset. But taki stops himself and he turns around. He's like, hey, don't I know you from somewhere? And she's crying. And she's like, I think we do. And then he's crying, and then I'm crying. And then they ask each other for their names.

01:06:22.890 --> 01:06:24.726
There's so much here.

01:06:24.828 --> 01:06:32.940
Yeah, it's just I'm so emotional about it all the time. Every time I watch it and every time I think too hard about it.

01:06:41.470 --> 01:06:43.450
It doesn't really apply with movies.

01:06:44.610 --> 01:06:54.682
It doesn't apply. But, yeah, this was a trip because I was going into it of, oh, it's a freaky Friday. They're going to eventually meet and follow.

01:06:54.756 --> 01:06:58.702
That's what everyone knows. When I saw it, I was like, okay, they switch bodies.

01:06:58.766 --> 01:07:20.578
Yeah, but beyond that, adding that whole time travel and then the life and death scenario of, you have to stop this thing and save all these people. There was so much, and I liked it a lot. It was good.

01:07:20.684 --> 01:07:48.782
I liked that the comment was, like, in the background for so much. So there was conflict to the story of like but it wasn't the conflict you thought, because otherwise there really wasn't much. It's like they're switching bodies and they're kind of messing with each other's day to day lives, but it's not like they're ruining it's not like, hey, I'm in a new body. Let me try heroin for a while. They didn't just ruin each other. So there wasn't, like, a ton of conflict. And it was good because it didn't feel forced. It wasn't like forge drama.

01:07:48.926 --> 01:07:49.378
Yeah.

01:07:49.464 --> 01:07:51.540
So I enjoyed it very much.

01:07:51.910 --> 01:07:54.770
Yeah, it's a good flick.

01:07:55.190 --> 01:08:08.326
It's a good movie to watch every once in a while. Definitely wouldn't it's not one that you can watch, like, repeatedly. You can't watch it even once a month. You have to give it time, let it breathe, and you kind of forget about it.

01:08:08.508 --> 01:08:10.470
Just like the dream.

01:08:12.350 --> 01:08:15.962
Because then I wrote the whole plot down on my arm. It just says, I love you.

01:08:16.016 --> 01:08:21.158
Damn it. No, not again. That's the third time this week.

01:08:21.344 --> 01:08:27.440
But I'm really glad you liked it. I'm glad that I paid attention to, like, more foreshadowy stuff this time because.

01:08:28.770 --> 01:08:34.314
It'S fun about revisiting stuff like yeah, I'm glad.

01:08:34.362 --> 01:08:35.374
I'm glad you liked it.

01:08:35.412 --> 01:08:36.174
Oh, it's a good time.

01:08:36.212 --> 01:08:37.174
It's my fave.

01:08:37.322 --> 01:08:44.878
So now I have a time traveler story that I need to share with you too.

01:08:44.984 --> 01:08:45.542
What?

01:08:45.676 --> 01:08:47.650
This is a little surprise bonus.

01:08:47.730 --> 01:08:48.978
I'm so excited.

01:08:49.154 --> 01:09:36.886
So this was 2016. I was working at a coffee shop in Boston, and a homeless man came in and he was like, hey, I have some instant coffee. Can I just get some hot water? I was like, yeah, sure. So I pour in some hot water. He's mixing his stuff on the counter, and we're chatting a little bit, and then just out of nowhere, he says, hey, have you ever heard the name lanstrom? And I was like, no. I was like, hey, write that down. So he tells me to write this down and then waits for me to get a piece of receipt paper. And then I write down the word Landstrum. And when I looked down, I looked up, he had walked away.

01:09:37.068 --> 01:09:38.006
Oh, my God.

01:09:38.108 --> 01:09:43.766
So I don't know what it means. It has not come into my. Life yet.

01:09:43.868 --> 01:09:45.030
I was hoping.

01:09:47.130 --> 01:10:04.800
I've looked it up. It means nothing. It misspelled. It means something else. It's like a German military thing. But, yeah, there's the word Lancetrum that is haunting my life now.

01:10:06.370 --> 01:10:10.990
He turned out to be my father, or I got a tattooed on my arm, so I never forget.

01:10:12.130 --> 01:10:15.700
I thought you were going to say you, like, met someone and it changed your life.

01:10:16.870 --> 01:10:32.294
I have a word that haunts me now, so it changed my life. Yes. One of these days, if you're out there and you know what Lanstrom means, call me day or night, I'm waiting by the phone.

01:10:32.412 --> 01:10:41.510
So this is less of an allegory and more of just documented evidence. Like one day when we ever find it. Go back to this episode.

01:10:41.670 --> 01:10:49.660
This I need it on the record that I was visited by a time traveler and it has not paid off yet.

01:10:52.830 --> 01:10:56.362
That seemed to be like a company you invest in just trillionaire.

01:10:56.506 --> 01:11:09.762
Oh, the race host landstrum. Do you want to bet on it? Go. So, thank you for joining us this week. This is our last episode of the year.

01:11:09.896 --> 01:11:13.118
Yay. yay. We're so tired.

01:11:13.214 --> 01:11:14.900
See you, face.

01:11:15.270 --> 01:11:17.394
We're checking out after two months.

01:11:17.512 --> 01:11:20.040
No, I put all my stocks in this.

01:11:20.490 --> 01:11:23.122
It's a bad investment. You should have invested in Landstrum.

01:11:23.186 --> 01:11:34.154
Yeah, landstrom Industry is the new hot ticket. But, yeah, we don't have a show for next week.

01:11:34.272 --> 01:11:35.226
But we do.

01:11:35.328 --> 01:11:36.378
Oh, do we?

01:11:36.464 --> 01:11:39.100
It is erased. It is my pick.

01:11:39.710 --> 01:11:41.054
I saw it on the list.

01:11:41.172 --> 01:11:45.790
Yeah, it's kind of a thriller crime drama with a sci-fi twist.

01:11:47.090 --> 01:11:47.914
Fancy.

01:11:48.042 --> 01:11:54.366
It's one of my favorites. It's short and sweet and I think it does nearly everything in it very well.

01:11:54.548 --> 01:11:54.942
Cool.

01:11:54.996 --> 01:11:56.354
Look forward to watching it with you.

01:11:56.472 --> 01:11:57.538
What? Phone?

01:11:57.704 --> 01:11:58.706
One, two and three.

01:11:58.808 --> 01:11:59.390
Lovely.

01:11:59.470 --> 01:11:59.810
