Voices of a Distant Star

This whole anime was created by only one person, Makoto Shinkai. With help from his fiance, help from a friend with the soundtrack - they have created a unique masterpiece that will remain in everyone's minds,hearts and favorite anime lists.

This short OVA is one of CoMix Wave stodio's works and you can tell it easily. It shows how hard they work to make it all come alive. CoMix Wave has a good list of variuos productions under their name and they make unique masterpieces everytime. You just must see this one.

The plot line of this anime is pretty simple but there are many things going on in the story, you have to watch it a few times to see them. It is a story about relationship between a girl and a boy. A very simple relationship breaking apart in not so far away future. One thing we can really say is, it is full of science fiction and will make your jaw drop and your mind twist.

There aren't many scenes with people, but they aren't needed here at all. The main character Mikako a girl who chooses to become an austronaut and pilot a huge robot on a mission to the end of our solor system, who is trying to keep using a simple cell phone. Her boyfriend Noboru, who is replying her cell messages back on earth.

The animation in Voices of a Distant Star is nothing more than amazing, just the way CoMix Wave like to create anime. Really fine colours. The mecha looks pretty good, it just bothered when it walks. All scenes go pretty well with the music and tell sthe story very well. There has to be at least one negative thing about animation, we will definatily post about it when we see it.

The soundtrack was created by Makoto's friend Tenmon, it fits this unique anime very well. Sound effects are very well imagened, add a lot to the experience of watching this beautiful film.

This anime not only has all ingridients to make it a top sci-fi anime, but you can also show it to your girlfriend and she may not be sick of it - like from the rest of films that you have... One could call it romantic drama with added sci-fi effect. Whatever it may be, it is wonderful to watch over and over again.

This anime fits well in this blog, we rate it with high marks, hope you will enjoy it.
