Featured review
I gave 4 stars just for the art and the music, but I really got bored a lot watching this, the story makes no sense, it's all so dreamy, so epic, the author wants you to deeply feel all this emotions but to me the result it's an hollow movie with hollow character. I've never fallen asleep watching something, but with this I barely succeeded to end it. I definitively suggest not to watch it, there are so many other beautiful anime to see out there. One thing I've enjoyed is the artwork, the landscapes are really intense and make you dream, but also there sometimes there is too much over production, too many light effects, it seems like a punch in the eye. And I hate when authors use science fiction in this way, by throwing here and there some gibberish theory and then making a mess with a convoluted plot, so that people at the end can say that it leave you with the freedom to interpret it, I find this technique over abused lately, and by the way I've never seen using it so badly like in this case
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMakoto Shinkai intended to draw the background art himself but with an estimated 1000 cuts needed this would have been impossible for Shinkai to do alone and the film's animation producer, Kiyonori Hiramatsu went to Tokyo Art University to scout for artists. Adding to complications, many of the students were recruited from oil painting classes and had no experience in creating digital backgrounds and many hadn't even used PCs before.
- GoofsEnglish subtitles spell prophecies (used as a noun) as prophesies (the verb).
- Quotes
Hiroki Fujisawa: [Narrating] Living alone, the nights seemed to last forever. When I couldn't pass the time effectively, I went to a nearby train station and pretended to wait for someone.
