For the first time I felt like I wasn't watching an anime-ish ending and something that every person feels and goes through. It was very humanistic and that quality was constant throughout the entire show. Usually animation gets to me when it is done badly but for the first time I actually appreciated the way this was done. By adding the real-life backdrops it took the interaction between the characters and the scenery to a whole new level. Heh, it also took me forever to finish this anime cause I forgot I had it in my video folder (so sorry about the late post about something you probably have already forgotten about)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-50651058526689248442008-11-20T05:48:00.000+00:002008-11-20T05:48:00.000+00:00I thought this episode was one of the best finales...I thought this episode was one of the best finales I've seen in anime. I was dreading Sora's death, I was bothered that it had set this easygoing show on a different track, but by showing not her death but other characters later thinking about her while going through their regular lives they not only kept the original mood intact, but enriched it. Magnificent episode!<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite shows this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-12644186487151119872008-11-20T01:21:00.000+00:002008-11-20T01:21:00.000+00:00This show captivated me, too.

It wasn't very detailed, but the movements seemed very good to me. And the faces, although quite simplified, were very expressive. As for the backgrounds, they were among the best and most effective I've seen. They really made me feel the reality of the scenes, in the haiku-like way Shinkai Makoto's backgrounds do. In any case, a memorable show.hashihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388353219014042525noreply@blogger.com
