Earlier this year, director Makoto Shinkai released his animated feature Your Name to the world and did what many thought was impossible; He created a movie that is said to rival Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away. The new film has quickly become a pop culture beast overseas, and it will soon head west. Next month, the film will begin its Oscars-qualifying run in North America courtesy of FUNimation Entertainment. And, now, an English dubbed trailer for Your Name has hit the Internet.
