I was lucky enough to see Your Name at the cinema this weekend. For those who aren't familiar with the movie. It is an Japanese animated movie about a teenage boy and girl who have never met but somehow start swapping bodies.

I don't want to spoil anything but it is a beautifully told story about relationships, being a teenager and unrequited love. Simply put it is a story that could have appeared on this site. It's also just been shortlisted for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars this year. I encourage anyone who can to see this movie. It's only being shown in a few places but it is well worth tracking down. Check it out.You won't be disappointed.

Only time and place

Only time and place I can find this movie playing is in Los Angeles in early December. I live near San Bernardino so that is barely doable for me, anyone have better info on times and places?

According to IMDB

The movie was premiered in the USA on 3 July 2016 at an anime expo. Then the official release occurred in Japan on 26 August 2016. It is not slated for release in the USA until 2 December 2016, and apparently only in one city (Los Angeles, California). MoviePhone doesn't have anything more on it.

Looks like waiting for the movie on DVD/Blue-Ray might be the way to go (which does not appear to be announced yet).

I saw a review of this yesterday

on the BBC News at around 06:30. Mark Kermode was really positive about it and he is preety good with his reviews.
I would love for this to get a wider than normal audience. From the clips I saw, it was beautifully done.
Mark said that it was a re-working of one of Aesops fables. The presenter corrected him by saying that the Japanese story that this came from was a lot older. Who came first eh?

The review should be available on the BBC somewhere for at least a week.

Early December means it'll

Early December means it'll come out on DVD/Blu-ray in early to mid March, probably no later than early April.
