i turned to the interwebs and the first one is called Uchuu no Profile. its a good and quick read. not sure about the other one yet.

The other is in Uchuu no Profile as well. It's the second chapter which is called Kyoko's Dream.

I just found out that starting October 19th there will be screenengs in my country. Better late than never. I already watched the movie but still will go probably.

Looks like the blue ray / dvd will have a release date in the US of November 7th.

[blakstealth]

Yup.

The Funi Collector's Edition box also splits in half!

I've made a thread to discuss the live-action movie more freely in the more appropriate place. Don't want the mods to flag us for being off topic .

“Various changes may occur to the people who cross this bridge … Only the appearance of this bridge will always be the same”

Excerpt from a passage as quoted from "Kimi no nawa" in "Bodies of Memory: Narratives of War in Postwar Japanese Culture, 1945-1970", by Yoshikuni Igarashi, Princeton University Press (2012), page 106.

Radio into Live action then the time gap bridging animation of this thread, now back into live action. Retelling a story of missed opportunities in almost chance encounters. Because of this announcement I was just reminded of Machiko-maki and the cultural impact of the earlier "Kimi no nawa" which led me to that book. Curious to see what one more reinterpretation adds too.

Vox Populi: Title of old radio drama is reborn in new anime ‘Your Name.’ Asahi Shimbun, October 6, 2016.

Understood, thanks It was surprisingly fun to try and figure things out, but I'd figure I'd also share the methods I used. With the location found, I hope everyone can now take a look for themselves!

[blakstealth]

I'm gonna book a flight and check it out, thanks!

On that note ... This may not be available everywhere, Crunchyroll: "Join "Your Name." Official Tour Supported by Japanese Government's Cool Japan Initiative".

I hate to burst your bubble, mate, but that information is outdated. Moreover, applications for the tour have long closed. Fortunately, the locations are no longer tricky to find, making it possible to do a self-guided tour.

Cool it with your pointed questions, you're not fooling anyone. You're just talking someone else's content in a vain attempt to elevate yourself. You tend to do that a lot, taking a variety of links and thinking that it's our responsibility to figure things out when in fact, you've not even done the research to make sure what you're linking to is relevant and current. By comparison, my information is something I took the effort of compiling and making sure that it would be useful. Your links are hardly useful, so stop posting them and thinking that between that and your purple prose, we'll be impressed enough to accept your opinions.

One would hope that no one took any of your bollocks seriously about visiting the locations, or your claims about irrelevant, obscure, misleading and untrue mythology and symbols: watching the movie you're asking us to is to degrade the experience and quite frankly, disingenuous to Makoto Shinkai.
