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
It was released. DVD should be out by Feb 17. But from what I've heard the artwork is just fluff.
i expect triad to be working on it
Gasp. There's a raw out already? =3.

it's out enjoy
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.
I just got done watching it and i have to agree that the art is awsome. I would definitly recommend watching this movie
Maybe its too deep for me or whatever, but i didn't find it good or exciting.
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.
Excuse the double post, but I just watched this again (almost 2 years later...) and fully understood the whole package. I mean...WOW...that has to be one of the greatest animes ever. It's just beautiful.
If you haven't watched this yet, I urge you to grab it right now (from KickAssAnime) and set aside 90 minutes of your life to enjoy this absolute masterpiece of a movie.
This title caught my eyes. I'm downloading it right now.
*can't wait to watch*
<3 Tessa-chan! <3 Lucifus! ....chotto mate.
Or you could...buy it. The dubs are fantastic on all of Makoto Shinkai's work. Plus, you're also supporting him to make more of his wonderful films.Originally Posted by Board of Command
I've bought every one of them that's has come out. I'm eagerly awaiting 5cm to be released on dvd here.
Board of Command......Thank you.
That was more amazing that Voices of a Distant Star. The animation was effing amazing and thats just one of the most moving thingies I've ever watched. That was just a damn good hour and a half spent of time.
I have no idea how I never heard of this movie, but I'm damn glad you posted about itZ. This was ...effing sweet.
Edit: Man o man do I want to make a signature off of this, but I don't have the time. Damn final exams! >.>
Edit2: BoC, greatest double post ever.

That was one of the best spent 1 hour and 30 minutes in my life, such a tranquil, calm, quiet, movie.
Edit: I'm confused by the ending, did Sawatari die or something? I know it doesn't show it but it doesn't correlate with the scene at the beginning with Hiroki at the abandoned train station seemingly as an adult, and with the image of a young middle school Sayuri running towards him yelling "Airplane! Airplane!" and then disappearing.

I'm not totally sure either. That part was pretty open-ended. Maybe the tower was completely linked to her mind and destroying the tower also killed her? But in the scene where Takuya and Hiroko were fighting in the hangar, they were arguing about "Save Sayuri or save the world?"
I've watched it enough times (in both languages) to get the ending. Most of Shinkai's films need at least more than two viewings to really get them. (Hoshi no Koe took me 4 times.)
The tower was breaking the separation between two worlds, and was going to engulf and destroy the planet. Sayuri was keeping it shut, exactly how is never explained. They realized that they needed to bring her to "their promised place" to bring her back and out of her coma. Doing so would destroy the world, which is why she had never left on her own. The tower was the only place where they could reconnect, and thus the only place where she would ever come out of the coma. They had to get to the tower before it was destroyed, or Sayuri would be lost forever.
The last line is key. "In a world in which we lost our promised place, we've begun to live again." Happy endings all around.
Well, I already understood most of that, it just doesn't quite fit with the beginning scene of Hiroki standing back at the abandoned station looking back at Sayuri's running image yelling about a plane. Are they not together anymore? Did she die?
