| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Glorious animation just like Garden of Words from earlier this year. I expected nothing less from Makoto Shinkai. OST is pretty calm I guess... I wish this was longer though. I just love the heartwarming family moments though: http://i.imgur.com/M0GkS32.png |
 |
| Why in this OVA only few shots with "Okamura, Mother"? She left her family? |
 |
| Saw a bit of the raw already, but still waiting for a subbed version. Saw the subs in the comments, but I'd rather watch it in the vid. LOL Anyway, it's really gorgeous as usual. |
| Wow~ Even though it's short, its one of the best short stories I've ever watched. |
| More information (including the synopsis) can be found here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=660799 |
| 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. |
| This is nice. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Argh, such stories always get to me, something got into my eye and doesn't want to get out... |
| The death of their cat brought the family back together. Shinkai Makoto doing great as usual :). I like both the loneliness and family moments. Also nice ending! |
| Good art as expected from Shinkai. The BGM was nice as well. |
| Poor cat :( |
 |
| its surprising how a 6 minute commercial can be so good. |
| Not bad. Aside from the usual high-grade animations, this is the first Makoto Shinkai's work that I truly like the plot. =) |
| Very good short film. |
 |
| Shinkai-san is awesome he could make this short movie really amazing |
 |
| So much emotion in 6 minutes I cried cause I'm a huge cat lover. T^T 10/10! |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| 7/10 Liked it, but it was too short to get into it. Really beautiful music and animation like always, Shinkai-sensei. kuuurt said: If this were made into a 30-minute OVA with more character depth, I'd probably cry. ^ |
| very nice and heartwarming |
 |
| It was really good for a 6 minute short story movie Does anyone where I can find that ending song ? |
 |
| really good animation and short-story, but it was too short (6min) for me to get too emotionally involved.. still a 8/10 |
 |
| Great animation and nice story,glad I watched it. |
| Very touching and heartwarming, theme of family!! |
 |
| is aya narrating? or the cat? i dont know what she meant "I do wish i could've seen you one last time, though".. nice 6min movie, the art reminds me of 5cm/s.. |
 |
| So was the cat narrating and what's the name of that song? |
| That was beautiful, Makoto Shinkai is really great at making shorts. Although only ~5 minutes, I cried when Aya got the news that Mii-chan passed away, and from there on until the end. I guess it depends on how much you can connect to it for someone to get emotionally involved, and for me, it was a theme that I understand well. It also kind of reminded me a little of She and Her Cat. I love how at the end Aya said she's come to visit her father's new girlfriend haha. |
| Typical Shinkai movie. Really nothing special, and the visuals were a bit weak for Shinkai. 5/10 |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| The art was so amazing o.o and the soundtrack sounded nice too. Even if it was 6min. long, I thought it was pretty good. |
 |
| Nice short, the artstyle was good, the character animation wasn't that great. |
 |
| That animation! And that ending, I didn't expect it to turn so good. My emotions all over the place. Loved it! If it was just a bit longer then I would have given it a 10/10, but for now, 9/10. In one word, "Beautiful!" |
 |
| Wow, when the dad called and was actually waiting outside the building... T-T |
| This is Shinkai's second-best film. Really liked it. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| So much awesomeness condensed into ~6 mins short movie The life story, visuals and background music were amazing |
| Was the cat narrating? |
| Shoot first, think never. |
| Makoto Shinkai's movies always left you with mood to contemplate on your previous life and this one is no different. With only six minutes, it manages something other animes cannot do in whole series. 7/10 |
| That was actually way better than the other stuff he's done. |
| I am sure Proud apartment is infinitely better than the rathole Aachan moved into. |

| Even though it was only 6 minutes, I got emotional, Shinkai you genius motherfker |
| Something by Shinkai that isn't bad romance? I'll take it. Marow said: Considering most of his films are slight variations on the same thing, that doesn't say much. This is more of an interesting statement: This is Shinkai's second-best film. itsvero said: I'm tempted to agree, but I think I prefer Children Who Etc., if only because it's a beautiful Castle in the Sky sequel. That was actually way better than the other stuff he's done. |

| That was one great short movie showing the true importance of family and it's bond, no matter what happens, they will always be there for you. |
 |
| I don't see the sense of this movie/commercial or w/e it is. The art was nice though. |
 |
| That was a lovely watch, I do have a weakness for stories told from the view of pets though. So likely the one I felt the most for was the cat. I'm glad that in the end her life did bring the people around her closer though, pets are family most definitely. :) |
 |
| very very touching short film 10/10 for me parents are people who we must never forget (i hope my english is correct) |
| Beautiful T___T Family are there for you. Good and bad times. Thank you Makoto Shinkai |
| Why these short anime are always so good :'( |
"A half moon, it has a dark half and a bright half, just like me…", Yuno Gasai |
| Made me cry.. |
| Nothing much to say here....since the anime was only 6 minutes long.. It was short, but really beautiful. This film portrays the general perspective of cherishing one's own family, even a pet is part of your family, sometimes you just don't realize until someone dies. |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
