A Complete Analysis of "Your Name" and Makoto Shinkai (Kimi no Na wa: The Tenuity of Beauty)

I spent almost a year working on this essay analyzing the themes and cultural traditions behind Kimi no Na wa, and its connections to Makoto Shinkai's entire filmography. I hope people can relate to the emotions of Makoto Shinkai's films I explore in this essay, and to my appreciation for the pivotal role beauty plays in all of these movies.
