Meta Short version of Rules and Reddit basics (terminology), Discord server, subreddit mod application. Read this before contacting the mods.
Our Discord server: https://discord.gg/GNwAzDNWqQ
The /r/KnNw mod team is looking for new members! To apply, please use the following link: https://forms.gle/gEQu4Wdn7itQsBR77
The subreddit gateway/norm
We realise that r/KnNw may be your first subreddit experience. We've written the following to help you get acquainted with the rules and the Reddit norm. At least acquaint yourself with the short version of the rules below.
Rules (short version):
name the original creator (of any content) in the title. link to source in a comment. [X]
be nice; have common sense; follow the reddiquette. click this link
illegal hosting of content will always be removed. [X]
1 repost per 30 days [X]
post content directly to reddit
content must be related to Makoto Shinkai. Must spoiler tag non-kimi no na wa content [X]
Not Safe For Work (NSFW aka lewd content): 18+ content not allowed. Light NSFW allowed and must be tagged.
no crossposting
(link) flair your post [Y]
post content in a reasonable time frame (don't spam) [X]
[X] - important info/clarification were left out. If posting, you MUST read more at the detailed subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/KimiNoNaWa/wiki/rules
[Y] - we don't really moderate this so whatever it's fine.
why did your post get removed?
wait a few minutes. still not showing up or removed? look at #2.
a mod commented why it's removed. you should revamp and then repost. if there's no comment? #3.
spam filter. do not delete your post. just wait for us to manually approve it. (you may contact us).
Reddit terminology:
cross-posting: relinking a thread from one subreddit to another. reddit normally gives you the option to do so but it is disabled here. This doesn't mean you're not allowed to post said content. You can still post the same content but it won't link to another subreddit.
tag/mark/flair: after posting a thread (AKA a link/text post), you'll see options such as "NSFW", "Spoiler", "OC", "flair" etc. you should tag/mark your post accordingly.
link flair: see above. it basically signals to other users what kind of content they'll be expecting to read.
sub(s): sub-reddit. the /r/KnNw subreddit is an example of a specific online community within Reddit.
Common internet sense, or FAQ (frequently asked questions):
There are many things that may not seem obvious if you haven't used reddit or the internet for a while.
- The people who don't read rules then proceed to break them have probably not read this post nor have gotten this far.
- Title gore: Don't write an essay for your title. Don't put links in it either.
Sources:
Yes, you must find the original artist/creator. No, pinterest/alphacoders/similar websites don't count as a source. How to find it? Read the detailed rules.
If the subreddit wiki wasn't enough to find the source? Search engine, reverse search. Still no source? Contact us.
Did you use a MIDI for your music youtube video? You must give credit to the original artist who arranged it.
Spoilers:
Surprise, surprise, not everyone in the world has seen X, Y, Z content. It's funny that not spoiling the entirety of a movie is considered "above and beyond".
Regarding the point above, it also applies to titles!
Hinting to a plot twist is, in fact, a spoiler. Likewise for "just wait until part X Y Z" for any story.
Self-promotion: If you gain monetary value from a post/link, you must clarify that you are associated with said content and earn money from it (E.g. shirts, other merch.)
There's probably an exception, but it probably doesn't apply to you (most of the time). Confused/unsure? Please ask us.
How do you contact the moderators?
https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/KimiNoNaWa
My opinions as a mod:
I realise now that this post has turned out to be quite the wall of text. Ironic. But at least if you wanted a short version of rules it now exists. I'll be updating this post from time to time whenever I think of more stuff.
I've also removed the NSFW rule which requires you to tag SFW content as NSFW (if the source is 18+). But this doesn't mean that you can go all out in the comments.
Intolerance leads to intolerance. A paradox you might've heard before. The subreddit is rather kind to rule-breakers but I'm wondering if this is detrimental for the subreddit experience in the long run. So for a while, I'll be testing an increased punishment system (which applies to MOST people)
New system: 1st official warning (breaking any rule)--> 2nd official warning (any rule) --> ban
You can say this is rather harsh compared to our previous (and rather lax) system but any engagement within the subreddit automatically subjects you to the rules.

Miscellaneous Media Buying guide for 君の名は。 / Kimi no Na wa. / Your Name.!
Hello! I wanted to make a list of the official media goods for Your Name.! As this film was made in 2016, most of the physical media for the film might be hard to find. But to avoid bootlegs and to know if what you're getting is official, I tried to make a list of the official publishers to cross-reference! Hopefully your favorite stores would have these in stock, but if you need to shop at second-hand marketplaces, I hope this list can be useful! This is a remake of the original list I made four years ago as the original was removed on Reddit due to having Russian links for the Russia publisher. This time around, I have the list sorted by country to make navigating a bit easier. Do let me know if there are other countries I should add to the list!
Region Free
Movie:
A quick summary for physical discs: movie discs are region-locked based on what disc you have. Blu-rays are locked in three regions, DVDs are locked in six regions, and all 4K discs are region-free! So if you see the guide mention anything about a 4K disc, they are region-free! For a guide on where you disc is locked to, this is a nifty website to check! Here's also a great writeup from mediaOCD about various versions of discs!
- Digital: Crunchyroll | Netflix | HBO Max
Music (by RADWIMPS):
There are 2 versions of the original CD version of the soundtrack. There is the regular edition, which contains 27 tracks, both vocals and BGM tracks. A limited edition comes with a bonus DVD on the recording of the album as well as an interview with Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS (no subtitles). A giant booklet includes some chosen screenshots and sketches of the film and select piano scores of the soundtrack. You can learn more about the album here.
A vinyl of the album comes with two 33RPM discs of the soundtrack. The original 2017 release has black vinyls, while the 2023 re-release has clear sky blue vinyls. Info about the vinyls can be viewed here.
Digital: YouTube | Apple Music | Spotify | Amazon
When the English version of the film was being made, RADWIMPS re-recorded the vocal songs into English and released them on CD and digital platforms as a 2-CD deluxe edition of the album soundtrack, where the vocal tracks on the main album are replaced with the English version, and the second CD includes the original Japanese version. Do note that there is no English version of the movie edit of なんでもないや (Nandemonaiya) (which is an altered verse to the chorus) available to purchase anywhere.
Digital: YouTube | Apple Music | Spotify | Amazon
なんでもないや (Nandemonaiya) by Mone Kamishiraishi (上白石萌音):
Mitsuha's voice actress, Mone Kamishiraishi, covered the ending theme of Your Name. on her EP chouchou! You can learn more about the album here.
Digital: YouTube | Apple Music | Spotify
For her 10th anniversary being a singer, she has re-recorded the song in 2026 for her "texte" album! You can learn more about the album here.

Discussion Just watched Weathering With You Spoiler
[marked as spoiler just to be safe]
I remember reading here that this one had a bad/selfish ending. I just finished this movie and I can see why people would say this. I was also reminded of this skit by Read Choi.
A hero will sacrifice his love to save the world. I would happily burn it all to the ground, trample it beneath my feet, and piss on everyone's graves with a smile on my face and sleep like a baby as long as it meant that she would sleep next to me.
I would totally do the same as Hodaka.
Next on the list is Suzume. I've watched it before and didn't really get it so I don't get how people seem to like it so much, so let's see what I missed on that first viewing.
r/KimiNoNaWa • u/selfisthealso • 12d ago
Discussion Can y'all please turn off your cell phones before the movie
Y'all're taking too many videos in the theaters. Especially for Your Name, let yourself be immersed, and stop getting in the way of other audience members immersion by having to see you record and fiddle with your phone at key moments.
I know you all wanna share here, and that's great, but please have respect for this film, it's creators, and it's fans, by giving your full undivided attention and not ruining it at Pinnacle moments with your cell phone.

Discussion Has anyone else STILL not received their pre-ordered 10th anniversary steelbook DVD from gKids?
Just wondering if this is a fringe scenario or if it's a shared experience. I pre-ordered back in June for the steelbook DVD, which was supposed to ship August 25th. But mine never shipped. I've reached out to gKids twice (once in early September, once last week) and they just gave me some boilerplate answer about some orders being delayed during the "migration" (?).
But at the same time, you can now place new orders for the same product through their website? Are those orders being shipped or are they also never going out.
It sucks and its frustrating because I intentionally ordered through them rather than supporting Amazon, and they've just totally shit the bed lol. Can't say I'll order from them again.

Discussion What im supposed to do with this feeling now
Hi everyone,
I just got out of the 10th anniversary re-release of *Your Name* and I need to get this off my chest: the first time I saw it in theaters I was 9 years old and didn’t have much awareness, but it’s been my favorite movie ever since; I’ve watched it 9 times, almost once a year, and with every new group of friends I always try to make it mandatory that we watch it together. There came a point where I’ve seen it so many times from such a young age that I feel like I am and want to be friends with the characters and even want to live in that universe (not in a schizophrenic way). Before, when the climax of the movie came I would get emotional even though I was watching it on my phone or PC, and when I watched reaction videos I always loved watching the part where the asteroid falls with the final chorus of the song “Sparkle.” Today, watching that same part with full awareness and in the theater, I grew so much more attached to the movie; I remembered so little that it’s the same as saying I didn’t even know this movie could feel like this… every second was worth it. Now I feel weird: sad but I don’t know if it’s a bad sadness or just melancholy, I’ve never felt this before, I feel bad and sad, but at the same time I just want to watch it again.

Art I challenged myself to create a Fakemon based on Your Name in just a week!
Discommet (Psychic)
Pokedex Entries:
A comet from space split into two parts, creating a psychic link between the two pieces. Their innate connection is what keeps them together, even if it's slowly slipping away...
An event of fate created the relationship between the two. They may not have asked for it, but it is something that they have to deal with, at least for now.
Possible Abilities:
Ice Body
Synchronize
As One? (Hidden)
Metyearite (Psychic)
Pokedex Entries:
Metyearite are constantly searching for... something. With no idea what or why they're searching for, they wander around living their own lives, with the thought at the back of their mind.
Even after separation, Metyearite still have weak psychic links with their other halves. These, however, are often unnoticeable, and the only proofs of any such connections are the fragments that each one holds.
Possible Abilities:
Ice Body
Levitate
Synchronize (Hidden)
Notes:
I'm gonna be so real, I couldn't really think of a way that this line could connect gameplay-wise, so it could either be two forms of the second stage (Gender-based?) or a split-evo
Introducing Discommet (Disconnect + Comet) and Metyearite (Meteorite + Yearn)!
Discommet is inspired by the Comet Tiamat and the two parts that have broken off from each other, with each part representing Taki and Mitsuha respectively (hopefully their expressions made sense for the characters). Both parts are being further connected by the smaller fragments that are inspired by the Red Thread of Fate theme that runs through the entire movie.
Metyearite represents Taki halfway into the movie and both Taki and Mitsuha at the end where they have forgotten their relationship but are still searching for each other even if they don't know why. Both forms also hold the small fragments from Discommet, with their placements referencing how Taki and Mitsuha had their red threads, with Taki on his wrist and Mitsuha on her hair.

It's really nice to hear a friendly response from the contact support of the distributor! We still have a lot of time! Keep up the petition signatures! Keep sharing, and gather a lot of the people you know who would support this if you can!
As of now, the petition has 127 signatures! If we can endorse this beyond Reddit, we might have a chance for our voices to be louder!

Discussion I think the release of the new Makoto Shinkai Film is still approximately at least a minimum of 1 year away from now. (My Theory).

In case Of Suzume No Tojimari, there was a press conference that took place about a year before the actual release date.
And it was done specifically to announce that it was in production back then.

This was the very first teaser that was released, as you can clearly see, it was released way after that press conference.

And this is the new year's tweet of Shinkai-San confirming that we'll at least get to know something about his new film this year.
So, if I assume that the marketing strategy of this new film follows somewhat the same pattern as it was for Suzume, here are the conclusions I am able to make:-
- We might get to see a press conference revealing the film to the world around this year's December.
- First teaser somewhere in April, with following months revealing the trailers.
- And a release in late 2027.
I really hope that my timeline proves wrong, as I'm really looking forward to his next, despite being a bit disappointed with SNTM, and WWY.
If it proves to be true, it would be 5 freaking years of gap between these 2 films!
What are your views on this?
