It was released in tankōbon book form by Sun Wide Comics and later re-released in Japan by Fusosha. Mach GoGoGo was originally serialized in print in Shueisha's 1966 Shōnen Book. Like the older-skewing Studio Ghibli titles, Your Name is a perfect choice for middle schoolers and up who will appreciate the combination of adventure and romance in a way that younger viewers aren't mature enough to enjoy.Speed Racer, also known as Mach GoGoGo ( Japanese: マッハGoGoGo, Hepburn: Mahha GōGōGō), is a Japanese media franchise about automobile racing. And while there's a running gag about Mitsuha "loving her boobies" (when she wakes up as Taki), it's depicted as humorous curiosity, rather than prurient or off-putting. It's one of the reasons it's so amusing and entertaining to watch the montage of them getting frustrated with each other. Taki and Mitsuha understand nearly everything about each other because they've literally been each other. It sounds contradictory, but this is a sweeping love story in which the couple doesn't really meet, yet knows intimate details about each other. But how Shinkai weaves these pieces together is original, compelling, and unforgettable. The parts are familiar: two people who mysteriously trade bodies, a love/hate romance that blossoms from notes and messages, and a disaster film in which a few realize the danger and must convince everyone else. Written and directed by Makoto Shinkai and based on his own novel, the story is engrossing enough to appeal to older tweens, teens who might think they've graduated from animated movies, and adults who appreciate well-crafted animation. Stunningly animated and well acted, this extraordinary Japanese coming-of-age tale is equal parts body-swap comedy, time-travel romance, and adventure film. But when Mitsuha and Taki try to find each other as themselves, it becomes clear something is wrong. Eventually, though, they begin to have feelings for each other, since they know each other so well. Mitsuha helps Taki get closer to his crush, a beautiful older server at the restaurant where he works, while Taki helps Mitsuha become more assertive, extroverted, and athletic. Whey they realize it's "really" happening, they begin to leave reports in each other's cell phones, recounting important events. It lasts only from the time they each wake up until they fall asleep, and it could happen up to a few times a week. At first she thinks it's just a detailed dream, because the teens don't know when they'll wake up as each other. Mitsuha has dreams of life beyond her provincial town and wishes to be a handsome Tokyo boy, and she seems to get her wish. YOUR NAME follows two Japanese teens - big-city boy Taki ( Michael Sinterniklaas) and rural girl Mitsuha ( Stephanie Sheh) - who mysteriously wake up one morning in each other's bodies.
