Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name) is a Toho animation that fulfills the incredibly hard task of being fantasy, sci-fi and romantic all at once. Its worldbuilding is rich and surprising — and the way it explores falling in love quite unique.

In this episode I explore how its worldbuilding helps us get to a very particular facet of romantic love.
