    Beyond the Clouds, The Promised Place

    Anybody remember the show Makoto Shinkai was supposed to produce (Hoshi no Koe). And his next project was 'Beyond the Clouds'?

    I remember there was so much hype about it. And suddenly now everybody forgotten about it I guess..

    Has it been released? Or it's still in production. If it's been released. Anybody know where I can find it?
    MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii

    What happened to 'Beyond the Clouds'?

    It was released. DVD should be out by Feb 17. But from what I've heard the artwork is just fluff.

    Makoto Shinkai's work is amazing. The story's are either really deep or really shallow (usually both, which is a testament to his work). I thought the animation in Voices of a Distant Star was beautiful, but Beyond the Clouds is absolutely stunning. The work he does with light is by far the most impressive of any anime I've seen. If you've seen Voices, you have to see Beyond the Clouds. If not, see both.

    Resurrecting a full year (and a little more) old thread is certainly a nefarious act of necromancy, but making a new thread for this would be even worse. Anyway, I just watched Ani-Kraze's sub of this movie, and it certainly was beautiful and great. Very calm yet still very captivating and never boring. It was quite deep, but on the other hand simple, which is exactly what Ryllharu said (a year ago...).

    If there still lingers somebody who is not all obligatory shounen fan and hasn't seen this, this movie is most certainly worth watching. The file took ages to download with the particular torrent I was using (a week, no less, for 1.4 GB), but it was worth every second.

    I actually saw the first reference to this movie monts ago at a completely different forum that has nothing to do with anime, and ever since it kept bugging me, until I finally downloaded it.

    This thread reminds me that I downloaded that movie months ago...
    I never saw it... wonder if its still on my HDD.... or could I have burned it?

    Another thing to look after job hours are done...

    I really liked this movie.. I really have to watch it again to see all the details and really understand the story. The first time I just disabled my mind while I watched it..that's my standard procedure or watching anime, because if you start to think too much while watching a series like Bleach or Naruto you won't enjoy the series.
    Normally I'm not really attracted to stand alone movies, because they feel rushed and unfinished most of the time, but BtC didn't give me that feeling at al..

    I should really watch this movie again. First time I watched it I was just left in awe by the animation. I'd probably understand the story better after my second run.
