Line 30:
** Mitsuha {{spoiler|spends a day in fruitless search for Taki in Tokyo. As she's waiting to take a train home, a train with Taki on board just happens to arrive at the station she's at.}}
** In the [[Distant Finale]], {{spoiler|Taki and Mitsuha see each other as their trains pass. At no point in the leadup to this was it shown that they were doing anything other than their daily commute. For them to just happen to be in the right time and place to see each other at this point who knows how long after establishing this routine}} has to be some kind of miracle.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: ''Another Side: Earthbound'' mostly serves as this, giving the perspectives of Tessie, Yotsuha and Toshiki.
* [[Dead All Along]]: {{spoiler| Taki is unpleasantly surprised to learn that Mitsuha died in the comet fragment strike three years in his past.}}
* [[Distracted From Death]]: According to ''Another Side: Earthbound'', Toshiki [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]] to Futaba because he was out looking for another doctor who could save her.
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: The main conceit of the film is Taki and Mitsuha's bodyswapping.
* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]:
** Toshiki's first name is only shown briefly on a background banner [[Bilingual Bonus| in hiragana]].
** [https://imgur.com/a/5IWIO A very small calendar] in the scene where Tessie's father and Toshiki are having dinner shows that {{spoiler| the year then is 2013.}}
** A poster is seen in the classroom when Mitsuha first attends Taki's school in his body that shows {{spoiler| the year is 2016.}}
** There is one point when Taki and Mitsuha are both looking through their phones and the date shows it's September 12, but {{spoiler| the years are different.}}
** When Mitsuha is {{spoiler| wandering around Tokyo trying to find Taki}}, one of the places shown is {{spoiler| the set of stairs where they would eventually reunite.}}
** Shinkai revealed that {{spoiler| Takao Akizuki from ''[[The Garden of Words]]''}} can briefly be seen in the crowd when now-adult Taki thinks he sees Mitsuha in a train station.
** The final act briefly shows {{spoiler| the kanji for Miyamizu on the nameplate of now-adult Mitsuha's apartment front door, confirming it's really her rather than a doppelganger.}}
* [[Ghibli Plains]]: There's a vast green plain in a crater deep in the mountains, at the centre of which is the god's body sacred to the Miyamizu.
* [[Gilligan Cut]]: About halfway through, Taki wakes up in Mitsuha's body again and says that he shouldn't touch her breasts for her sake. Cut to Yotsuha opening the bedroom door to wake her up and seeing just that happening.
* [[The Lost Lenore]]: Toshiki's inability to get over the death of Futaba was a major contributor to the dereliction of his priestly duties and the ongoing estrangement from their children.
Line 52 ⟶ 54:
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe, whoever Mayugoro the sandalmaker was as a person and whatever else he did, now he is only known as the guy who somehow started a fire in his bathroom 200 years ago that led to the destruction of large parts of Itomori and the loss of the Miyamizu Shrine's records. Both Toshiki (in spinoff novel ''Another Side: Earthbound'') and Yotsuha are appalled that the Great Fire to which his name was appended is his sole legacy.
* [[Next Sunday A.D.]]: The film was released and set in 2016. {{spoiler|Or was it?}}
* [[No Antagonist]]: There is no clear hostile entity or group opposing the protagonists throughout the course of the story, apart from a briefly-appearing thug and a questionably sentient [[Comet of Doom]].
* [[No Hero to His Valet]]: As related in ''Another Side: Earthbound'', Toshiki seemed to be the only person who could see Futaba as a person rather than some kind of living saint.
* [[No Name Given]]: The customer who slashes Miki's skirt, Taki's father and Tessie's parents are not named, even in the credits.
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: Taki Tachibana and Mitsuha Miyamizu. Although the two don't physically meet for much of the film due to their very different circumstances, they interact through the [[Freaky Friday Flip]], doing things that are initially begrudged but eventually accepted, and end up changing each other's lives.
* [[Real Place Background]]: Itomori is fictional but is based on the actual Hida City in Gifu Prefecture. The restaurant Taki works part-time at is based on Cafe La Boheme near Shinjuku Gyoen, albeit the fictional one is shown to have frontage on a busy main road unlike in reality. {{spoiler| Taki and Mitsuha reunite on the stairs leading to the Yotsuya Suga Shrine.}} Various other actual locales both in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan are featured in the film.▼
* [[Real Place Allusion]]: Itomori is fictional but is based on the actual Hida City in Gifu Prefecture.
▲* [[Real Place Background]]:
* [[Reality Ensues]]:
** Despite how much Taki's built it up in his mind, Lake Itomori is not in fact the household name of an iconic landmark he'd been expecting, and random passersby in its vicinity aren't much good where actually finding it is concerned.
