However, the rumors also said that Toho wanted a happy ending and forced Shinkai to add more scenes where Taki and Mitsuha would meet again.
One of them is the rumor that your name. has an original ending that’s quite different from the one we saw in the final version.
The rumors state that when Taki and Mitsuha passed by each other in the bridge near the film’s ending, the film should have ended right then and there.
Hopefully, this clears up all those rumors and stop thanking Toho for what they didn’t do.
