Makoto Shinkai's animated film "Your Name." continues to win over audiences in Asia, and now has its sights set on dominating North America, too.
Distributor Funimation Entertainment is eyeing an April release date overseas for the anime, which centers on two teenagers who change bodies in their sleep.
"It's truly a joy to be part of a film like 'Your Name.' (which) has surprised everyone ... and quickly captivated the hearts of audiences and critics alike," says Gen Fukunaga, founder and CEO of Funimation Entertainment. "I have always believed that a touching and beautifully told story can mesmerize mainstream audiences regardless of a film's genre."
