Trivia
The red braided cord that Mitsuha wears represents the invisible red string of fate that is said to connect someone to their fated person, according to Japanese tradition.

Goofs
After Tessie blows up the power substation (Around 1:24:00), it takes several seconds before the town suffers an electrical "cascade failure". Small sections of town lose electricity in small blocks, while the market can be seen losing power to individual stalls.

This is completely impossible as electricity travels at about 90% the speed of light, meaning the entire town should have gone dark in an instant. On top of that, a town of that size would only have one substation, making a cascade failure on such a small scale even more unrealistic.

Quotes
Hitoha Miyamizu: Treasure the experience. Dreams fade away after you wake up.

Crazy credits
At the end of the film, as both the lead characters simultaneously says "Your name...", the title of the film appears.

Alternate versions
Although the film was not released in India in an official Hindi dubbed version, a YouTuber AnimeTM Dubbers has provided one, with the credits showing the name of Hindi voice cast instead of the original.

could be the greatest love story of all time

In truth, the most competitive area of fiction is not invasions from outer space or talking dogs or impossible missions but rather the most basic narrative of all, the love story.

And this is also the most overcrowded field, and the most difficult to do right.

This film, this story, is extraordinary. It reminds me of MY SASSY GIRL, a love story from Asia that captured the imagination of the world and has almost become a franchise, it's been copied so many times.

It also brings to mind Richard Matheson's classic BID TIME RETURN, another love story for the ages that uses time juxtaposition. (Done as the movie SOMEWHERE IN TIME, 1980).

I already gave this the highest rating on the IMDb.

The animation is stunning and complimentary to this one-of-a-kind tale.

All things considered, I would like to avoid the ongoing arguments about which Japanese animation studio is better, or worse, than the other.

I prefer to simply be grateful that Japanese anime exists at all, because I cannot imagine any other country producing something this moving, this powerful, in graphic form.
