This protocol would suggest that Your Name, the 2016 science fiction romance anime from director Makoto Shinkai, has a very low Top Gun quotient, so low in fact that we could say with complete certainty that Your Name is not Top Gun.
Should Makoto Shinkai’s anime have been about Top Gun Taki and Maverick Mitsuha?
In that case, we’d come to the opposite conclusion, as Your Name actually has the components for a pretty awesome “Danger Zone” video, like the one put together by Japanese Twitter user @Yukke69.
