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.

Featured review
beautiful.. and brilliant...
I rarely ever watch anything more than once, but this was my 3rd time watching this today, and I had even bought the DVD.. and I still think its as great as the first time I watched it. I think I feel some nostalgic connection to it somehow, I appreciate how brilliant the boys are, actually building something like that.. successfully.. while being so young. I guess I've always wanted to accomplish something like that. I also like the attention to technical detail like soldering and UNIX command lines. Even if you aren't into the story or the characters, watch it for the animation. Some of the most beautiful scenes I think I may ever see. Especially for those you who tend to like sunsets. I can hardly think of anything I don't enjoy about it, some people have said it doesn't feel tight or whole or well put together, but I think the pacing really isn't that bad, only thing that bothers me slightly is all the fades to black that are used for scene transitions, but really I'm not sure what else would have been better, it makes it a whole lot less confusing than just cutting to scenes and having to figure out whats going on and if its a different place or time. The DVD release is decent, some good interviews (motoko shinkai seems like a real nice guy), video quality is good, audio is fine (dont know about the English voice actors, id be afraid to really watch it in English). its good.
