Seems so... and it's what Shinkai does best, so why not?

Art looks gorgeous, but it's Shinkai, so that's a given.

Just please, not those atrocious chardesigns as we've seen in Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo. The usual ones are much better.
I wouldn't worry too much, just look at official website. I think of Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo as his tribute to Ghibli movies, now he'll most likely be back to his usual style, possibly improved even further.

"Shinkai said it will be his first 恋 (love) story."

I stared at this for a good five minutes before realizing he meant the story of his first love, not the first love story he's written. My mind was so incredibly blown.
I'm not really sure what is exactly said in first post but I think it means that this one will be more lonely, sorrowful than his other works (my heart will break when I watch it if that's the case). Can someone who knows Japanese clarify?

I too was dumbfounded for some minutes when I read about it being his first love story.

Can't wait, really looking forward to it after 5 Centimeters per Second and its art.
Even the cover art looks amazing!

I am pretty sure 5 Centimeters Per Second already describes what his description is... lol. But I guess that was set during the 90's, could be considered ancient.

More Shinkai? I'm in.

Admittedly after watching Children Who Chase Long Titles and finding it a bit disappointing and way too Ghibli for my liking, it still had good parts and was just as damn pretty to look at as his other works.

Hell, this new film could be absolutely terrible for all I care as long as I get more pretty clouds.

Plot looks God awful, visuals look nice. Shocker, right? In terms of visuals, it's hard to tell if this will look any better than Children Who etc., but there's definitely more rain porn. So that's something.

I guess you will also say "Hitchcock. The one trick pony. SPOILERS: Some people will die." Uh?

Anyway, this is a PV with subtitle in Chinese and English (though the English translation can be really bad)

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

OK, the description did not say there are subtitles. So you need to turn on the caption...

Yes, a 27 year old woman and a 15 year old boy. Bear in mind that the PV does not indicate (at least not clearly) that their relationship is one of romantic love though.

Older woman -- check!
Rain (as the prevalent theme) -- check!
Miyu Irino -- check!
Makoto Shinkai aka the director w/ a penchant for bittersweet/downer (which I refer to as realistic) endings -- check!

Foot fetish or romantic love, should their age difference even matter? Sure, "shota" does bother me but 15 is no longer that young an age to be categorized as such, if it ever does come down to them having a sexual relationship.
HAPPY SCANS!

Nope. It's Shinkai's love story which makes it very good at worst and masterpiece at best. Can't wait.
