I will like to add on something to your article. In the end when Taki and Mitsuha are apparentlt asking their names its actually a double-ended scene and english subs fail miserably at that particular scene, kimi no na wa is said without a question mark and literally translates to “your name is ….” which means shinkai leaves it to the viewer’s imagination to create an ending.
The statement with a question mark means its a question and without a question mark it implies they just remembered their respective names its just an affirmative statement, just like saying “your name is Mark”. This particular revelation made the ending a bit more special and this movie really changed my perspectuve towards life in general.
