* CreatorsOddball: The introductory scene deliberately makes it look like another one of Shinkai's trademark super-serious and melancholy movies about loneliness and isolation. [[MoodWhiplash In the next scene]], Taki wakes up in Mitsuha's body and [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman sleepily fiddles with her breasts]] until he realizes what's going on and freaks out. The movie as a whole still has Shinkai's usual themes, but also a large amount of comedy (almost nonexistent in all his other movies) and much more "liveliness" than usual for him. The music is also abnormally upbeat, and it has an energetic opening theme song/animation in the style of a TV anime. [[spoiler:It also has a happy ending, though [[Anime/ThePlacePromisedInOurEarlyDays he has done that once before]].]] Apparently the change of pace [[SleeperHit was a good strategy]].
