400 hunters exp ' d , many cm clears GibsonMenace <| sep |> I don ' t think Mitsuha even realized that the time lines were out of sync at that point , so she wouldn ' t have known that they will switch in the future . She was probably just confused as to why he didn ' t recognize her , and didn ' t have time to sort it out . Though , this does raise another question . How did neither of them never notice that they were in different years ? I realize that most phone apps , including the calendar , generally show the date only as day and month , but how do you not notice what year it is ? Especially when you go to school , or have a job , or participate in annual festivals ? I definitely think there were some plot holes that were there just to make the story work , but I kinda just let them slide for the sake of enjoying the good parts . I ' m usually pretty critical of time travel stories , but this is a magical realism anime love story . You kinda have to expect some stuff to not make sense . Overall , I really liked the movie .
