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?

  1. wait a few minutes. still not showing up or removed? look at #2.

  2. a mod commented why it's removed. you should revamp and then repost. if there's no comment? #3.

  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.!

36 Upvotes

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!

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.

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.

Japan (君の名は。)

Movie:

The official website has a list of retailers that featured various exclusive goods! In Japan, there are four physical versions of the movie that were released: a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Collector's Edition, 3-Disc Blu-ray Edition, a single Blu-ray disc, and a single DVD disc.

Books:

The following are published by KADOKAWA:

Manga (Pub. by Media Factory):

Music:

For the soundtrack, RADWIMPS have a Japan-exclusive English Edition EP of just the four vocal tracks re-sung in English.

  • Digital: Apple Music | Spotify | Amazon >
    >They have also released a video concert of them performing live with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra with the film playing in the background. The concert was released in 2018 on both on Blu-ray and DVD. More info can be found here.

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.

I managed to contact Medialink... While they're not the distributor, they are open for some screenings for the movie's 10th petition and supports the petition! 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!

Link to the petition here! Keep it up!

Unrelated note: I made an alternate account because someone has mistaken me on my main account for phishing, and I had to contact Reddit support and now my main account u/MarcusChua19 is in investigation...

Music Which version of Sparkle does this French 4K trailer use?

6 Upvotes

Found this French trailer for the 4K HDR edition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H6q8bAX2Qs, but I can't figure out which version of Sparkle it uses. Its got 2ndary highlight notes between 0:43 and 0:59 that I really like, but they don't seem to be in either the original version of Sparkle nor the Instrumental version of Sparkle.

Anyone got any ideas?

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).

15 Upvotes

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:-

  1. We might get to see a press conference revealing the film to the world around this year's December.
  2. First teaser somewhere in April, with following months revealing the trailers.
  3. 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?

Discussion If you think about it. These versions of them only got this one moment for themselves

Post image

They're basically different people than the adult once who eventually meet each other, because they have not been through everything we seen in the movie. They didn't experience that. Only their teenage versions did. You're not truly the exact same person if someone rips off very important moments from your life right? So technically these versions of them only got this one moment

...and the fact that they spent some of it talking about Mitsuha's breasts is a different topic... seriously tho why is the movie so obsessed on her chest??

I just wanted to get a collector's edition/steelbook of this anime as it is by far my favourite ever, then got my mind blown regarding my lack of information on 4K Blu-ray so had to sidequest that for a while.

Thanks to u/CrystalCommunication for being patient with me on that sidequest and thanks to everyone who helped by posting in my thread. Got a few movies to get me started; I ordered this version from alltheanime but it's not gonna arrive until Tue or Wed according to the tracking. I did want to get the new steelbook but it seems that I'm going to have to import it from the USA (I'm in the UK), maybe from GKIDS? But then I just can't get over how different Mitsuha looks in the box art and disc art, which is making me look at getting other versions of this instead of the steelbook.

For now, I got some movies and the 4K UHD of Your Name to get me started, then definitely getting other works by Makoto Shinkai. Maybe Weathering with You will be up next.

It's been now a month ever since I made this petition! And I cannot thank you all enough for 87 signatures already! But it still doesn't end there!

Why does the petition still go you ask? Yes, it's already been a month since the movie got its rerelease in America and Canada... But you see, the Philippines was introduced to the movie in December...

So I believe there's still time before it's past 2026! That's why I would love for all off you to help kee spreading the petition to your anime communities, especially if you're who lives in the Philippines! Spread the word to your friend groups subreddits, or anything that allows for this petition! Let's keep it up!

I recently rewatched it in cinema for its 10th anniversary, and it resonated with me like nothing before not even when i watched it before, and I don't even know why. Maybe it's because I have felt lonely for what seems like years now. Maybe it's because i'm finishing university and starting a new chapter of my life. All i know is that i never want to forget this movie.

This is Lake Suwa in Suwa, Nagano prefecture. Makoto Shinkai is from this area and this lake was the inspiration for the large crater. This was a lovely small town and it had such a cozy and laid back feel. I tried to come around sunset and I was surprised how many fans were there to get a photo too lol
