Full-time cartoonist - #417 - Chapter 412 A love story across time and space
The visuals of “Your Name” are stunning.
A screenshot of each picture can become a beautiful computer background image.
“After seven years of hard work, it seems to be true.”
Huahai originally thought that this sentence was for publicity, but now looking at the care put into making this movie, I found that it is indeed the most outstanding animated movie in recent years.
It once reminded her of Hayao Miyazaki’s animation works.
Huahai was already looking forward to it, but the animation still gave her a surprise.
“It’s so beautiful.”
Naoko Takeuchi held her chin up and watched the comet streak across the sky on the screen. A colorful band of light appeared in the sky, and the stars and clouds made her feel even more gorgeous and stunning.
“With such a huge workload, it’s really hard for the original painter.”
…
“Mitsuha Miyamizu” got up and looked at the rise and fall of her chest. Her pajamas were bulged by the plump hills, revealing a touch of whiteness.
She blinked in confusion, then started kneading.
He looks like a boy playing gangster.
She seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and her performance was very poor that day. She went to school with her hair untied and messy, and she forgot her seat and locker when she got to school.
She finally regained consciousness the next day, and except for the friendly jokes from her teacher Yukino, her daily routine returned to calm.
Itomori Town is a small and crowded town. The tram runs every two hours. The convenience store closes at nine o’clock. There is neither a bookstore nor a dentist. If you want to drink coffee, you can only go to the beverage vending machine. Miyamizu Mitsuha wants to leave. Here, go to Tokyo.
As a shrine maiden, she chews rice grains to make “kuchizhu” in public during the ceremony.
She has had enough of the same life and shameful performances. She wants to be a handsome boy in Tokyo in the next life.
When she woke up the next day, Mitsuha had a dream in which she was a handsome Tokyo guy named Tachibana Taki.
There are many high-rise buildings here, there is a constant flow of cars, several trams are running together, and there are rare cafes. It is a sweet dream for her.
“So Mitsuha and Taki are swapping bodies?” Hanami said softly, holding her chin.
She watched it very seriously. She was very excited about the easter egg that the heroine teacher was Yukino from “The Garden of Words”, but in the end, what she wanted to watch was the plot.
There are two places in the animation, one is Tokyo where Taki is located, and the other is the small town where Mitsuha is located. The difference is very big.
“Is “Your Name” a story about a boy and girl who would never meet each other because of body swapping?”
She was a little worried. This kind of difference in space could easily lead to tragedy, just like Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who fell in love but couldn’t be together.
The more cheerful the animation is now, the more tear-jerking it will be at the end.
…
Swapping bodies brings troubles to both the male and female protagonists. It is difficult to look directly at the body of the opposite sex. Taki always inadvertently distributes benefits, and Mitsuha also uses Taki’s money to enjoy life in Tokyo.
But there are also good things. Mitsuha helped Taki get closer to the beautiful foreman, and Taki was so handsome that he shut up the classmates who had been mocking Mitsuha.
For two to three days a week, the two of them enjoy different lives.
Mitsuha helped Taki propose a date with the foreman, but she cried silently.
Taki also found his heart.
The two of them fell in love with each other without meeting each other.
Before the autumn festival in Itomori Town began, Mitsuha suddenly cut her hair short, the red hair rope disappeared, and she became much lonely.
The comet streaked across the sky and suddenly split into two. One of the comets fell and magnified in Sanye’s eyes.
Taki found that he could no longer switch bodies with Mitsuha.
He tied a hair rope around his wrist and drew all the memories about the town. With these drawings, he went to find Sanye.
Three years ago, a meteorite split from a comet hit the town of Itomori. It was the autumn festival, and more than 500 villagers were killed. Among the victims was… Mitsuha Miyamizu!
“Eh!”
Huahai screamed in shock, but the others did not frown, because at this moment, the cinema was noisy, and they were all surprised by the unfolding of the plot.
It was an ordinary everyday love movie, but now it’s unusual.
Neither Garden of Words nor Five Centimeters Per Second has these.
“Is Taki in love with… Mitsuha who died three years ago!”
“How will the subsequent plot develop!”
“Love that transcends time and space is so interesting!”
The audience was talking and whispering among themselves.
Sanye’s grandmother once said that the knots they made were the work of gods and reflected the flow of time.
The same goes for Sanye’s chewing wine.
Taki found the kuchizhui made by Mitsuha and drank a glass. Then he traveled through the timeline and witnessed Mitsuha’s birth and growth, saw her start to switch bodies with him, saw Mitsuha go to Tokyo, and cut her long hair short after coming back, and finally…
Comet strikes.
He suddenly woke up and found that he had entered Sanye’s body again, and began to massage Sanye’s chest with tears streaming down his face.
It’s touching, yet so funny.
Taki returned to the early morning of the day when the comet struck, and started an evacuation plan with Mitsuha’s friends.
He suddenly remembered that his body was now in the divine body that stored Kouqianjiu, which meant that Sanye was there.
He borrowed his companion’s bicycle and went to see Sanye.
Halfway through, he remembered that Mitsuha went to Tokyo three years ago with a girl’s heart in mind.
She was going to see herself, and she was so nervous, looking forward to it, and full of love.
But three years ago, Taki didn’t know Mitsuha.
The two of them met on the tram, just a fist apart.
So close, yet so far away.
“Taki, that’s me.” Sanye pointed to herself shyly. After waiting for a long time to hear what she wanted to hear, Nuo Nuo said, “Don’t you remember?”
Taki asked: “Who are you?”
I just feel like this girl is so weird.
When Mitsuba was crowded by the crowd and got out of the car, Taki was so lucky that he suddenly asked: “What is your name?”
“Mitsuha! Mitsuha Miyamizu!” Mitsuha took off his hair rope and gave it to Taki.
After that, Taki wore this hair rope for three years.
Mitsuha wakes up in the body of the spirit that contains the Kuchizhu wine, and now she is Taki.
She remembered that she had died three years ago.
They heard each other’s voices on the circular earth slope surrounding the god’s body.
Over three years, we could hear each other’s voices but could not see each other.
The palm can only fall in the air and cannot be touched.
Suddenly, dusk arrives, a time that is neither night nor day, and the outlines of the world become blurred, and inhuman things can be seen.
The two returned to their bodies and met each other.
Taki said: “It’s not easy for me to come to see you. You are so far away.”
Sanye burst into tears.
But when she learned that Taki could change time by drinking her own mouth-chewing wine, she was immediately embarrassed.
“Idiot! Pervert!”
She also had the opportunity to question Taki about the chest attack.
The animation does not depict the tear-jerking side. It is relaxed and humorous, but it is very suitable and consistent with the atmosphere of animation.
As dusk came to an end, Taki took out a marker and wrote his name on Mitsuha’s palm.
When they meet and get to know each other, it’s like a dream, and they will forget what happened in the dream when they wake up.
Sanye’s grandma is like this, and so is her mother.
In order to prevent Taki from forgetting him, Mitsuba also took the marker and began to write his name in the palm of Taki’s hand.
“one……”
She had just finished writing a stroke when the BGM suddenly stopped and the marker fell from the air. There was a terrifying deathly silence.
Taki looked at Ichi in the palm of his hand and called Mitsuha’s name nervously.
“Sanye, Sanye, your name is Sanye! Your name is…”
“ah?”
“You are…” He knelt down to pick up the pen and was about to write Sanye’s name in the palm of his hand, but suddenly stopped.
“Who?”
“Why am I here?” he asked himself.
In the empty world, there was only Taki.
He shouted, “I’m here to see her, I’m here to save her, I want her alive!”
“Who is it? Who is it? Who am I here to see!”
Who is the important person, the person you don’t want to forget, the person you must never forget?
He shed tears, “What’s your name!”
Taki forgot Mitsuha.
Huahai felt blocked in her heart, as if she had experienced this kind of mood before.
When exactly is it?
Probably when I watched “5 Centimeters per Second”.
In the story created by Tori Akino, feel the faint sadness.
Her eyes were red, and she suddenly heard the sound of sobbing.
“I’m sorry,” Naoko Takeuchi’s eyes were wet, she clasped her hands and whispered, “Auntie, I am a sentimental person…”
“It doesn’t matter.” Huahai felt warm in her heart, and her loneliness dissipated a little.
There are people like her in the movie theater who are sad because of “Your Name”.
She has a companion.
…
“It’s so sad.”
Naoko Takeuchi’s eyelids closed, deeply sad.
She realized the movie was going to be a tragedy.
Tori Akino draws shounen comics that require the most imagination, but are extremely realistic.
Although there is a soul in “Soul of Chess”, Hikaru Kondo’s ability to become a professional chess player depends solely on his own efforts.
Fujiwara Sawei is a guide and a teacher, and he is by no means a person who depicts mysterious powers.
His soul identity is unimportant.
“Slam Dunk” is a realistic basketball comic, and the skills can be depicted in reality, and Xiangbei failed to win the championship in the end.
The same is true for “Death Note”. Although there is a Death Note, it is more of a collision of wits and people prefer to call it a mystery comic.
“Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is even more realistic. He sets the fantasy product of magical girls into a cold science fiction background, thereby deconstructing the setting of magical girls.
It is very real that Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara did not get together in the same time and space. There are many cases in reality, so the audience will be moved and empathize.
Tori Akino is cold and separates lovers for the sake of realism.
So now, how can Mitsuha and Taki be together in different time and space?
Naoko Takeuchi raised her head and watched Mitsuba take action to save the townspeople on the screen.
They bombed the substation according to the plan and used radio warnings to trigger people to evacuate.
But people spoke softly, and even so, everyone still carried out normal activities.
Firefighters had to be used to evacuate the crowd to safety.
The radio warning from Sanye’s companions was also stopped.
Sanye could only run to find the mayor’s father for help.
The comet has begun to split, and it is so beautiful and charming. The TV host said that people who can see this scene are really lucky.
Sanye tripped while running and rolled down the slope.
She opened her hand, and it only said “I like you”.
This is a boy’s confession.
“Why didn’t Taki write down his name?” Huahai was both moved and angry.
The words on the palm are the only connection between Mitsuha and Taki.
Although the confession is very romantic, we can’t find each other.
Naoko Takeuchi said: “Probably… the information cannot be retained.”
In the previous content, after Mitsuha died, the memos saved by the two of them in Taki’s phone disappeared.
“Time, quantum entanglement or something?” Takeuchi Naoko twirled her hair and guessed sheepishly.
“That must be the case!” Huahai nodded, her cheeks puffed up, “Tori Akino-sensei is really too much…”
Taki and Mitsuha’s efforts and experiences ultimately left nothing behind.
The memories worth cherishing will be annihilated in the chaotic time.
The bruised Sanye found his father and looked at him seriously.
The comet passed through the orange sea of clouds and slammed into the ground, just like an atomic bomb explosion, producing a dazzling white light and a shock wave sweeping through the water and rising into the sky.
“in the end!”
Huahai’s heart was in a state of trepidation. Have the fate of the villagers in Ishou Town changed?
Time passed by and Taki graduated and was worried about finding a job.
On the tram, he caught a glimpse and saw a woman with a red string in her hair, and quickly chased her out.
He had been looking for something, but he didn’t know if it was a person or an object… he was troubled by this feeling.
Five years ago he went to Itomori Town, a town destroyed by a comet.
But a miracle happened. I don’t know if it was a prophecy or something. The mayor staged an evacuation show. No one in the town died, and only some people were injured.
Taki was particularly concerned about this town. He paid close attention to the news about Itomori Town for a while.
But he didn’t know anyone in Itomori Town.
While Taki was eating, Mitsuha’s companions were chatting about marriage. Taki looked over, but the two people had already left.
On the overpass, someone was holding an umbrella, but Taki couldn’t see the other person’s face.
During the meeting, Taki suddenly discovered that there were red knots in her hair.
Taki looked back with concern, seeing that the other party had his back turned to him and was gradually moving away.
He sighed and moved on.
But then, the woman with red knotted hair turned back and looked at Taki’s back.
They missed it.
Mirai Tori Akino tests the limits of the reader’s tolerance and keeps teasing.
Huahai clenched her fists, and her fists creaked. She had bad memories.
This plot was all too familiar to her, it was a heart-wrenching tragedy.
The same is true for Five Centimeters per Second. The two people turned around and didn’t see each other, thus missing each other.
Takaki Tono was relieved at the end and left with a smile, but readers will always sigh helplessly, feeling sad that a relationship ended in vain.
Thinking of this, Huahai looked at Naoko Takeuchi, and Naoko Takeuchi also looked at her.
The eyes of both people were full of anger, and they had the anger of wanting to kill someone.
It’s enough to do this kind of thing once.
“I seem to know someone.” Naoko Takeuchi smiled.
