I've been a fan of Makoto Shinkai since I watched 'Voices of a Distant Star'. Like many others I was awaiting his latest Movie: Byousoku 5 Centimeter - a chain of short stories about their distance. Imagine my surprise when I found part 1 (Oukashou) available for viewing.
This director has a way of bringing out emotions that are probably lurking withing one's heart. Love, loss, dread, impatience, sorrow, helplessness. This is sooo welcome after the bad taste my previous Anime entry brought.
I can't wait to see the movie! It will be in theaters in Japan on March 3, 2007. When will the DVD come out? :((
Edit: I rummaged for the teaser/trailers I have and watched them. If I watched the entire movie at max quality, I'd probably in tears the whole time :)) Click the screenshot below to see how beautiful it will be.
