Taki also experiences his gendered reawakening and can't stop looking or fondling at his/Mitsuha's breasts. The petulant Mitsuha has been yearning to find a handsome young guy near downtown Tokyo and has her wish granted unexpectedly when she awakens one morning in Taki's body. Body switching and time travel have been done several times before but Shinkai (who also wrote the eponymous novel) does the timeless "boy meets girl" story through a chance encounter between the geeky urban-based teen Taki Tachibana (voiced by Ryûnosuke Kamiki) and country girl Mitsuha Miyamizu (Mone Kamishiraishi). Perhaps the movie's greatest strength (besides the exceptional command Shinkai has of the color scheme combinations and sense of light in the frame) is the literate screenplay, which is not dumbed-down for the adolescent/teen niche that it's designated and should satisfy film fans of all ages.

It did respectable business in the US (grossing over $5 million) but had a monumental impact in its native land. It received a very favorable response at the Busan, London, San Sebastian, Tokyo film festivals and also made a small splash at Anime Expo last year in Los Angeles.
