Movie pls or a 13 ep series! i could imagine a series like this:

ep1 life of the girl
ep2 life of the guy
ep3 life of the girl
ep4 life of the guy
ep5 life of the teacher
ep6 first part life of the guy, 2nd part life of the girl
ep7 first part life of the guy, 2nd part life of the girl
ep8 life of the teacher, life of the guy, life of the girl
ep9 finally all mixed together
ep10 all mixed together
and then its up to the story itself, what would be the direction. i would like to see something like this:
ep 11 first part old life of the girl, 2nd part old life of the guy
ep 12 teacher
ep 13 (final) all together again or guy, girl, teacher seperated (depends of the story ending itself)

or something similar. ^^

For intros, you couldn't get anymore generic than this. But because of the beautiful execution of Makoto Shinkai, I can't feel anything but awe in how he was able to present a simple yet light commercial that really is a treat.

If they made a movie of this, I would watch it simply for the crazy good animation. Seriously, that looks incredible. The scenery is constantly alive which greatly increased my immersion to the world.

Now if only Makoto Shinkai got out of his comfort zone once, and gave his amazing vault full of production value to some other genres instead of this like he always seems to do...

I'm not usually a fan of Shinkai's works but I would also like to see a movie or at least like a ~30 min. OVA out of this.
Mostly because the characters seem quite likeable.

Those 2 kids are really driven to actually take away something from distance learning courses. The sad part is that most will more likely end up procrastinating the assignments and blow off the cram courses; not mentioning having the same answer is a cause for possible plagiarism and cheating. XD
Awesome commercial, terrible product. ;p

By god. That is something unbelievable. Truly, truly, unbelievable. I have never seen something like this in all my life. You got this really amazing animators, great idea for a story, likable characters, great music....

AND YOU USE IT FOR A 1:59 MINUTE COMMERCIAL?

I cannot even comprehend it. All the time I thought I was seeing a trailer for it. How can you do such a thing?! It's like asking Leonardo Da Vinci to draw a picture on a stamp! It's so tiny, and you know it's great, but there's no way to enjoy it!

I need a minute. Or, possibly two.

for a 2 minute film, its nothing technical and so simplistic, with the animation of the characters to the scenery, for obvious reasons, its like an orgasm for your eyes.
but for a commercial, it does start and tie it up perfectly,
but we want more, even if its a 30 minute film or a movie, we want MORE!!!!

That fact that this is merely a commercial is extremely disappointing, especially with the fact that a lot of peoples hopes were let down. However, if they were to make this into a show/movie, that would be wonderful and would obviously be successful judging from how good the commercial itself was (even thought trailers tend to make things look better then they actually are). We can hope for that at least, for from what I remember that was how Free! started (or at least is somewhat similar to, I recall it being a dropped project at first, and then picked up again later).

Study and find the love of your life. Ahaha.

No, but I really loved it. Beautiful and sleek animation. Sharp and awesome. I would love even a movie for this. (I wish it was popular like the commercial that Free was based off!!)

What I appreciated about it is that the sensei played a part too, in hoping that they meet each other. The two characters may not have been able to develop much, but we find out about their commonalities, a bit of their personalities, and their backgrounds. For a 2 minute trailer this has made the characters more interesting that most series ever could.

Not only with beautiful animation for the characters, but the scenery, the movement and the whole thing was very well done. The subtle gestures, the sudden change in atmosphere (exam starting) and that ending really caught my attention. Plus the themes of determination, hard work, finding love and ultimately being rewarded for working hard (or that in the end all effort is in vain) are great. And of course, the music!

I'm going to be depressed that this won't be adapted into something! I think it certainly has the potential. (Story is better than Garden of Words, so why not??)

The music was great and the animation was on top level as well.

Hoping that with the right demand and hype, this could end up like Free! and evolve into a movie! This also may be the only advertisement I have downloaded in 1080p.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Free became an anime because the CM was popular. I think that is just something a ton of western fans thought (kind of to give themselves credit for making the show happen). The CM and the series aired less than 4 months apart...so the series had to have been in production by the time the CM aired.

But anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this too...even though it was an advertisement.
