The synopsis sounds interesting. I'm always looking for anime and manga that deals with heavy topics (Liar Game, Kodomo no Jikan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Spirited Away ... you know the type) so you can be sure I'm keeping my eye on this one

I'm not sure about that, this time (though it's not something I honestly care about). Especially if you read what he said previously about this work.

Anyway, can't wait!

5cm per second was overrated crap. It took the exact same idea as Voices of a distant star and stretched it out to an hour and a half.

Hopefully this fellow starts trying to change his style a little bit.

Have you really watched those two movies ? 5cm per second lasts 1 hour...
The only similarity is the theme of distance, a theme that Shinkai seems to like ^^

Expecting lots of clouds/sunsets/general scenery porn.

Plot sounds pretty vague and a lot like everything Shinkai's ever done. I'm definitely on board though, just with some reservations. I'd love to see him try something new that doesn't involve teens/young adults going through some melancholic romance.
