I have to say I really enjoyed this. Would love to see something more than a commercial if possible :)
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it!

Just another scenery porn, just as Shinkai Makoto's every other works.

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!!!!

A friggin' commercial? Oh... well, I liked it still (shamelessly queues to the "More! Make it longer or a movie" line) XP

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).

Meh. needs more proper character developed in order from me liking this, and this doesn't have it which it is a shame. Quite felt cliche just watching it.

Wow, gorgeous visuals. Can't believe this is only a commercial telling people to study for exams.

It makes me feel like crap, because I'm a slacker in school, ha.

I loved the video, then I realized it's a two-minute commercial.

I hope it becomes a series or a movie. It has potential.

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??)

It was great, even tho it was just ta 2 min CM. I enjoyed it quite a lot, had this warming feeling while watching it.
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.

2 minute commerical anime, I wasn't expecting something THIS spectacular. I'm actually in the Z Kai program but I don't do anything with it, this definitely motivates me to do it once again.
Anyways, I LOVED this...like other ppl, I wish they made a movie out of this

Another scenery porn courtesy by Makoto Shinkai though it would have been great if it was a movie, not just a 2-minute commercial.

The girl's cute though.

If Z-Kai funds a movie version of this, they will make lots of money & more kids will enroll.
This was visually appealing, they story was nice, they managed to show a lot in 2 minutes. I liked it ^^
