This is one of Shinkai Makoto's works. and his movies always have good storyline and animation. well at least to me. Although, it is a bit short.. People should know that this was one of his first projects. So dont expect too many fancy things and just enjoy this slow, romantic and beautiful anime and accept it as it is. It has its own unique style and storyline. and definitely doesnt disappoint. If you're into good animation, good storyline, then this anime is for you! :)
voices of a distant star was a very, how should i say, captivating story. for only being 25 minutes long the story was overwhelmingly powerful and leaves you with almost-watery eyes. something like this could only have been told by a master storyteller. although the character designs were somewhat lacking, the environment designs were stunningly beautiful. some points of the film did seem a bit cliche but overall this is, i'd say, definitely one of the greats. good stuff! >_< b
