GKIDS is thrilled to announce the re-release of the beloved anime film Your Name in North American cinemas, starting August 14. The highly anticipated 4K remaster of Makoto Shinkai’s 2016 masterpiece will be available in both its original Japanese language and English dub versions.
Directed by the visionary filmmaker Makoto Shinkai, Your Name has captivated audiences worldwide with its poignant and thought-provoking storyline. The film follows the journey of Mitsuha, a rural schoolgirl, and Taki, a city kid, as they discover that they have switched bodies.

With a worldwide box office haul of over $400 million, Your Name remains the highest-grossing original Japanese animated feature of all time. Its success can be attributed to the film’s breathtaking animation, courtesy of CoMix Wave Films, and its engaging storyline that explores the intricacies of human relationships.
IGN’s critic Jenna Busch praised the film, stating that ‘the animation is absolutely gorgeous and the story will grab your heart and squeeze.’ She further noted that while the film may not match the feel of a classic Miyazaki film, it is still a ‘lovely story that actually manages to make the time travel mostly understandable.’ This is definitely a must-watch for fans of anime and animation enthusiasts alike.
