Listen "Your Name"
Episode Synopsis
Dawson and Philip take a trip back to 2016 with Japanese animated film 'Your Name' from writer/director Makoto Shinkai and CoMix Wave Films. Two high-schoolers from different worlds find themselves mysteriously intertwined as they each experience episodes of missing time, quickly learning that they've been periodically switching bodies for a day at a time. Taki is an artist living in busy Tokyo and Mitsuha is a Shinto ritual performer in rural Japan. While their memories of being in each other's body are vague, they learn a great deal about each other through the notes they leave in their phones. Things take a turn when Taki discovers that Mitsuha lives three years in the past. This complicates any chance the two have of meeting in person, as their connection's strength seems tied to a passing comet in 2013--an event that holds great significance to Mitsuha and her spiritual destiny.
