still to this day the greatest animation studio of all time. There production quality is just unbelievable. There art and animation itself has enough power to move a person, much less to add a story of emotion on top of it. Its a pity there movies are so out there in terms of story people think that the story is shit. ComiXWave Films are like the company version of Sui Ishida, they are absolutely obessed with symbolism

I am still hoping that they would make a movie out of that other commercial they made regarding cram schools, and here they made another commercial full of potential to be animated into a feature film. What a waste!

I'd say they are only using these commercial as a chance to train new directors, etc for the next generation, since they are a young and massively successful studio.
I still believe that Makoto Shinkai or at least ComiXWave Films is working on the Koe no Kitachi (a silent voice) movie adaptation. It screams ComiXWave Films. A tragic uncliche romance with an end goal of becoming a complete and happy human being. Isn't that basically what 5cm/s, PPIOED and The Garden of Words are about in a nutshell?

Well, I don't think the character in 5cm/s ended feeling complete and happy... Razz At least, that's the way I interpreted the ending.

Koe no Katachi is pretty different from Makoto Shinkai's usual work. If they can tweak with the content, then I can see it as being a Shinkai film, but if the original content is kept, I feel that there are too many dramas involved in the story for it to become something subtle like Shinkai's other works.

Actually "5cm per second" is NOT a tragic ending but a happy one. The MC had a massive hangup over his first love which had managed to completely screw up his life and at the end he finally managed to say goodbye to it and move on.

In the manga version spoiler[the girl in part two follows him to Tokyo and meets up with him after he managed to say goodbye so the suggestion is they may have hooked up in the end.]

So they're basically saying that the young generation of Japan should continue to have hope and not feel like they're wasted potential or anything like that?

If so I'd say that's pretty noble, though if you're a social reject it's easier said than done Sad
