Wow. The art is simply amazing. I've never seen something like this before, even though some shows do come close to this. Beautiful. The story seems interesting as well, it's Romance Drama after all. Looking forward to more.

Yeah judging from the trailer it's gonna be amasing. Both art and story. And that song "One More Time, One More Chance" r0x.
Still I won't pick this up until all 3 parts of the movie come out 'coz I don't wanna despair for the rest. Even so, it's the show I'm desparing the most to get lol...
I just hope we get to see a HD release. 'coz that animation trully deserves it.

The first epiisode was great. The animation still looked awesome even though it was a web rip. I cant wait till triad releases an HD ver. Their promo and trailer looks sooooooo good. My watch count for both combined is over 100 already.

Oh yeah, Triad's HD. That's why I had them entered in the 'Fansub Group' field ^^. I was wondering why I didn't watch the first episode yet. Gonna watch it again when Triad releases it.

I can't remember the last time I've watched something only half an hr long with no prior experience of that show (like a previous episode or something) and being so amazed. Just half an hr was all it took for me to fall in love with this. This movie...beautiful scenes, beautiful story, powerful emotions...and just like that it's already in my top 5 favs, and Shinkai has leaped over Tatsuya Ishihara as my favorite anime director.

Can't wait to watch the whole thing. Definitely gonna buy this DVD as soon as it hits the US

Before I look for this... again... I've noticed that only 1 episode has been released (and that was back in April.) I'm assuming NOTHING else has come out on this? =/ I'll wait 'till all 3 episodes are out before I try to d/l I think.

I simply love the art in this movie! The grab the most common things in daily life, and transform them into the most beautiful things I've ever seen (not sure if that made much sense, I'm still half asleep xD).

Of we go to episode 2 =P

Yes the animation was amazing but it seems like the other to could become a sad story.

This story is so sad, and sweet. Totally unfair!

When that letter flew out of his pocket in front of the vending machine, I swear -- I was ready to cry. But then when she was waiting for him still at the station, hours and hours later....

What a perfect couple, time and distance can be so horrid.
Reminds me of my own experience. Very similar. Also fair unfair. ;p

Loved it. 5/5.

It gives me a very pure, sweet and peaceful feeling. And the artwork is amazing, very detailed and sometimes it looks almost like a photograph.. but I did saw some animation mistakes.. it's not the kind of stuff I usually watch, and to be honest the story doesn't really interest me since I'm more into action and comedy, and it had a very slow pacing. But it was enjoyable ^^

Probably I'm just not in the mood to watch slow and sad movies now. I enjoy the bright winter day behind my window more than this anime. Can't do anything about it. But I'll finish watching it later.

I love the art and the music.. and the kiss scene was so sweet. I want them to end up together. D:

But long distance is pretty hard. Been there done that. :<

Haha exactly! :D But it's sadly *normal* in Poland for trains to have such delays... :)

Awesome and sad story. And I also love the visual side - wonderful!

Well, that was outstanding. You know it's that good if you can also feel as a viewer how hard it was for both of them to be apart and just couldn't say things straight in person before they parted ways.

Looking forward to episode 2.

The visuals left me in awe, each panel was a feast for the eyes. The pacing felt incredibly fast to me even though there wasn't a lot of action going on. Instead we got a lot of insight into Takaki's and Akari's relationship and their thoughts which is even better.
