Byousoku 5 Centimeter: 5 Centimeters per Second

[animus]

I just watched the KissSub version, and while there wasn't anything really wrong with it, I I'll download Triad's version for archiving in any case (assuming they will sub it). This is the kind of project that would really benefit from a higher quality than the KissSub xvid/avi. Let's hope Triad will release it in h264.

Other than that, it was certainly an interesting watch from an artistic point of view - nothing less to be expected from Makoto Shinkai. The plot of the first episode was interesting in the sense it didn't actually contain much matter at all, but nonetheless the execution was masterful. Animes like this actually, at least in small doses, make me wonder more than Death Notes or Code Geasses, because it's easy to understand why those work so superbly, but it's harder to understand how a story like this can work and work so well at that.

It's kinda like Seirei no Moribito in my opinion. Somehow you can feel the story being able to end in another 3-4 episode maybe, but you can just feel that it's superb, engrossing, and it'll be epic.

FYI, The Triad has dropped this as ADV has licensed it.
