Because it's so beloved, Your Name turns up on more services than most films its age — Crunchyroll, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Max all carry it, though the exact lineup shifts by country and some platforms rotate it in and out. An English dub sits alongside the original Japanese, so you can watch it either way. If one service has it greyed out in your region, check another name from the list before assuming it's gone.

## Synopsis

Two teenagers who have never met keep waking up inside each other's lives. Mitsuha is a restless girl in a sleepy mountain town, daydreaming of escape to the bright sprawl of Tokyo; Taki is a city student balancing classes, a part-time job, and a budding pull toward architecture. Then, without warning, the swaps begin — she surfaces in his apartment, he in her rural bedroom — and two strangers must stumble through days that were never meant to be theirs. What lands at first as disorienting, often funny chaos deepens into something tender and far more urgent, as the pair start hunting for each other and find their smallest choices rippling across each other's worlds. It's Makoto Shinkai working at his most radiant: a story about connection stretched across distance, the slipperiness of memory, and the longing to hold onto someone you're not sure you'll ever reach.
