yes!!!
I loved Makoto Shinkai's Voices of the Distant Star and from all the previews for this movie, it's going to be another very emotional movie as well. Wait a min....does "theatrical right" mean DVD release as well? |

Steven Foster BETTER not be involved with the dubbing with this one unlike Voices of the Distant Star.

If this is being released theatrically in Japan, why does ANN have it listed as an OVA?

Occasionally projects that were planned as OVAs end up as theatrically released movies (Perfect Blue and Wicked City are two examples). It could be that the same thing is happening here.

Man ever since I saw the fansubbed promos I've been eagerly anticipating this! Now that it's licensed, a fansub of it will never see the light of day... so I really hope it gets shown in Canadian theatres!
We seem to get short-changed a lot with niche films and anime in particular. (Like Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence doesn't seem to have any Canadian showings)

I'll buy it anyway, even though a fansub isn't going to be done. Thats fine with me anyway. The promo showed me that it was good enough to buy without seeing a fansub.

Way stoked. This show looked, to quote the Teen Girl Squad, "SOOOO GOOD!!"
Does anyone know if it's just Makoto going solo again, or is directing with a full crew or what? |

Like Hoshi no Koe, Tenmon composed music for him. He got two additional crew: Ushio Tazawa (also staffed in Egao) and Takumi Tanji. More men, but still very skeletal. In my opinion I prefer them keeping that way. |

I dunno...
I mean, I like it when someone does nearly everything himself, but one of the advantages of that is seeing an animator's visual style untouched by outside demands. And the style Shinkai is currently using is fairly generic (I stress currently, since She and Her Cat and Other Worlds were rather distinctive). |

Blame Ushio Tazawa then.  He's the character designer of The Place Promised In Our Early Days. In my opinion although the character design has become more generic, the color design, background art and animation are still very distinctive Shinkai-styled (especially those starry aircrafts with beautiful long contrails...ahh... ).

Eh, even Voices of a Distant Star is disappointing when you compare it to his early shorts. It really is quite amateur, and not all that impressive of an acheivement when you compare it to the work of Bill Plympton or Yuri Norstein. It's still well written and thus very enjoyable, but I'm starting to think that Makoto Shinkai is incredibly overrated.
