This Japanese anime movie is making huge waves in Japan now and has been topping the charts even though its been shown for close to 2 months. Even we had watched it in theatres twice! The story-line told a tale of 2 high school students swapped their soul into each other and began to live a life that both wanted. One day, the boy stopped being able to swap into the girl's body. He went on a mission to search for the village she stayed only to realise the whole village was destroyed by catastrophe 3 years ago. Not going to say more about plot and if the movie is ever out in your country, you have to WATCH it! Not only was the story captivating, the scenes in the movie are breathtaking and the artist illustrated even to the minor details of shadows and sunlight ray reflected by the buildings etc.
All scenes in the movie are a huge topic in Japan now and many movie fanatics went to search the actual places of the scenes. This was not a easy task as I heard the movie took many places for reference and combined it together. There was also a trend of couples getting married after watching the movie. Indeed, it make you ponder and appreciate the happiness you have and if you haven't find it, maybe you might have misplace it unknowingly....
