Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...

Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

The film's central conflict around a natural disaster, memory, and personal connection is inherently apolitical, and its narrative solution emphasizes individual initiative and emotional bonds over specific political ideologies or systemic critiques.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The movie features a diverse cast within its Japanese cultural context, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of roles typically associated with Western productions. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of its main characters, including the male protagonist, and does not center on explicit DEI critiques.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Your Name. features a magical body-swapping premise where a boy and girl temporarily inhabit each other's bodies, experiencing life and attractions from a different gender perspective. While this explores gender roles, the narrative does not introduce or develop any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes, focusing instead on a heterosexual romance. Therefore, the film has no discernible LGBTQ+ portrayal.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

“Your Name.” is an original film with no prior source material, historical figures, or legacy characters. All characters, including Taki and Mitsuha, are introduced with their established genders within this film. The plot's body-swapping mechanism does not alter their canonical gender, which is explicitly excluded from the definition of a gender swap.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Your Name. is an original anime film, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races or a biopic of historical figures. All characters were created for this film and are portrayed as their originally conceived race, primarily Japanese.
