Detailing the story of two high schoolers, Taki and Mitsuha, Your Name turns the Freaky Friday body-swap trope on its head, and over the course of the film the two teens deal with differences in time, the fleeting nature of whatever surreal event occurred, and a strange cosmic event.
Your Name is currently the third-highest grossing anime work of all time, only behind Demon Slayer and Spirited Away, but even if you were in line to watch it as it premiered, it no doubt deserves a second watch-through.
However, as with many anime movies and series, it can be tricky to find a way to stream outside Japan. Thankfully, though, there's now a super simple way – here we'll be outlining how to watch Your Name online wherever you are.
