If you had literally just watched the movie you would know, she was in the past, they didn't start swapping bodies until she was already dead, of course he didn't recognize her, him from that time didn't switch bodies

It's explained in the movie, and the concept is very simple. Mitsuha was switching bodies with Taki from the present to the future. Taki didn't recognize her because it was present Taki, not future Taki.

taki is originally form 2016 and mitsuha from 2013 their 16' & 13' versions were swapping bodies. Mitsuha went there in 13' and met the Taki of 13' so obviously he doesn't recognise her at all.

^this. They weren’t on the same time line so when she went to go see him for the date, in his time line they hadn’t met yet. Same for why they are confused about seeing the solar storms or whatever, it’s not happening at the same time. When he finds out the town was destroyed, he tries to body swap one last time using the rice wine she made. The rice wine now looks super old even though it seemed like it just happened.

when they are swapping bodies,

Mitsuha was in 2015 i think, and
Taki was in 2020 (forgot the exact year)

in the Timeline where Mitsuha tried to find Taki, He is still young. therefore it was not the Taki that she had swapped with.

in the timeline where Taki was swapping bodies with mitsuha, Mitsuha is dead

mitsuha and the meteor happened in 2015
while Taki swapping bodies with her is in 2020

2015 Mitsuha is Swapping bodies with the 2020 Taki. and That is How Mitsuha Saved the village people since he learned from the 2020 Taki, that a meteor will fall to their town

(not sure with the exact year but that still the same)

Taki that knows mitsuha is 3 years into the future of Mitsuha’s time.

When she goes to meet him in Tokyo after setting up a date, she meets Taki from her time which is 3 years into the past of the Taki that knows Mitsuha, so obviously that Taki doesn’t know her. He’ll only “meet” her 3 years later.

There is no "old reality" and "new reality". You cannot apply classic time travel logic to this. Taki still goes to visit Itomori in the "new reality" alongside Okudera, which he would have no reason to had it not been for Mitsuha.

As others said, the reason why Taki doesn't recognize Mitsuha is because she went to visit him 3 years before they knew each other.

I don't think anyone is meant to apply logic or "try to figure out" the mechanics behind time travel in this movie, instead it's just a feel-good movie. Everything that had to be explained was explained in the film, and everything else never needed explanation in the first place, because that's not what the film was about.

There is no explanation behind their loss of memories or the deletion of the diary entries because, well, there doesn't need to be one.

What do you mean?

The movie shows Taki trying to call Mitsuha but the call not connecting. This makes sense because Mitsuha is dead.

The movie also shows Mitsuha trying to call Taki but the call again doesn't connect. This isn't explained further. An assumption can be made that Taki did not use that cellphone number in the past. This is just an assumption, but I explain further as to why I think this is correct.

The context in which these calls happen is ambiguous - the film doesn't make it obvious if they ever had direct with each other or not. However this can be easily deduced. We know for certain that Taki and Mitsuha were never able to talk directly while they were swapping bodies because Mitsuha was dead by that point.

This means that the only question that remains is whether or not Mitsuha called Taki in the past. Given that she attempted to call him but the call didn't go through, it can be assumed that she was never able to get in touch with him. Had she done that, she would have found out that he didn't know her, and she would have either stopped calling him, or would have already known that he wouldn't recognize her.

My assumption is that these scenes were included in the movie to make it clear that they did in fact try to call each other but were unsuccessful.

There is no explanation behind their loss of memories or the deletion of the diary entries because, well, there doesn't need to be one.

I mean the movie is told in two different realities:

- One where Mitsuha is dead in 2020 (or whatever year) - the current timeline where they are swapping bodies.

- One where Mitsuha is alive in 2020 (or whatever year) - at the end of the movie when they don't know each other.

As I said, I've watched the movie almost 10 years ago (probably) and so I tried to very simply explain the problem in question.

You probably know more details or the exact dates/order of happenings of the movie, yet, for example, you either didn't explain that well or didn't even answered at all and are just picking on the explanations that, if you see the OP's opening message, actually helped him understand what he had missed.

because Mitsuha switched bodies with the future Taki and she was in the past, I think 3 years. when she met him in Tokyo, he didn't know her because it was the past Taki and not the future Taki that she switched bodies with.

Hi.
I see you edited your op.

I just wanted to throw out that yes, Your Name has a few convenient plot blindspots here and there. I still love it with those flaws.

I know a few people who can't stand it for details like the one you originally asked what was going on.
