Director Says Iconic Your Name Scene Wouldn't Fly Today

Your Name director Shinkai Makoto just shared a fascinating and candid reflection on his global blockbuster, revealing a scene he would remove if the film were made today: the moment where Taki, while in Mitsuha’s body, touches her chest. 😳

Here's why the visionary director would make the edit:

Out of Step: Shinkai explained that while the moment was originally intended as a playful, dreamlike element, it now feels out of step with modern sensibilities and current public conversation around consent.

Modern Standards: He noted that standards for what is acceptable in commercial entertainment have shifted dramatically in just the six years since the film's release.

Broadcast Concerns: Shinkai also pointed to concerns about how the scene would be received on future TV broadcasts, highlighting the need for greater sensitivity in storytelling.

His comments underscore the growing awareness around consent and sensitivity in media, even prompting creators of hugely successful works to reconsider how their characters interact.
