GRRRRRRRR THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD AND SO BADFDDDDD (IN A GOOD WAY)

HERE'S LIKE A HUGE SUMMARY ON THE WHOLE MOVIE OKAY

Mitsuha, a high school girl living in the town of Itomori in Japan's mountainous Hida region, is bored of country life and wishes she were a handsome Tokyo boy. With her grandmother and younger sister, she makes kuchikamizake sake and leaves it as an offering in the family tomb on a mountaintop outside the town.

Mitsuha and Taki, a high school boy living in Tokyo, begin switching bodies intermittently. They realize this is not a dream when their friends and family tell them they have acted strangely recently. They begin to communicate by leaving notes in Mitsuha's notebook and memos on Taki's phone, and intervene in each other's lives. Mitsuha helps Taki develop a relationship with his coworker Miki, while Taki helps Mitsuha become popular in school. Mitsuha tells Taki about a comet expected to pass Earth in a few days' time, on the day of her town's festival.

One day, Taki wakes up back in his body. After an unsuccessful date with Miki, he tries to contact Mitsuha but fails. He decides to visit her hometown, but does not know its name. A restaurant owner in Hida recognizes the town from Taki's sketch and tells him it was destroyed by a fragment of comet three years ago. Taki finds Mitsuha's name in the records of fatalities.

Taki goes to Mitsuha's family shrine and realizes that he and Mitsuha's timelines were separated by three years. He finds the kuchikamizake and drinks it, hoping to reconnect to her body before the comet strikes. He wakes up in her body on the morning of the festival and convinces her friends to help him evacuate the village. Taki realizes that Mitsuha might be in his body at the shrine and goes back to the mountain.

Mitsuha wakes up in Taki's body at the shrine, and although they sense each other's presence on the mountain, she and Taki are separated by time. They realize it is twilight,[8] travel back to their own bodies, and finally meet. Taki tells Mitsuha to convince her estranged father, the mayor of Itomori, to evacuate the town. They write each other's names on their hands as they return to their respective timelines, but Mitsuha disappears before she can write hers.

Their memories of each other start to fade. Mitsuha realizes that Taki wrote "I love you" on her hand instead of his name. Mitsuha confronts her father and convinces him to evacuate the town. The comet piece crashes to Earth, destroying Itomori, but all of its inhabitants survive.

Five years later, Taki has graduated from university and is searching for a job, but senses he is missing something important. He recognizes Mitsuha's friends in a Tokyo restaurant, but cannot identify them. One day, Taki and Mitsuha recognize each other when their trains draw parallel. They disembark and search for one another, finally meeting on a staircase. Feeling as though they have met before, they ask for each other's name.

JUST AHHHH IT'S SO DISAPPOINTING BUT IT'S SO HEARTWARMING
