What makes it good: The body-swapping plot of this critically praised anime film was inspired by ancient Japanese poetry. The exchange continues, and as the adolescents try to balance their complex lives, a bond forms between them. The two people magically exchange bodies one night when a comet passes over Japan.
What it’s about: Mitsuha, a high school student, wishes to leave her small village for the big metropolis, whereas Taki attends high school in Tokyo.
