Voices of a Distant Star is a touching story about two very good friends in middle school with hopes and ambitions of going to the same high school to spend their days together happily only to realize that Mikako(heroine) is to be sent to explore the other solar systems and fight tarsians.
As the only form of available communication between Mikako and Noboru, Mikako sends e-mails to remain in contact but as she will soon realize, messages that took less than a few hours for Noboru to receive, will take weeks, months, and even years until it will seem like eternity for a one way message to reach Noboru.
At first glance, a one shot anime with only 2 characters may not seem much to you, but what Voices of a Distant Star manages with such little time and material to work with, is to create a beautiful and touching masterpiece about friends that can barely keep in touch with each other no matter how much they want to.
If you haven't watched it, you must. If you don't like the genre/theme, watch it anyways. Taking up a mere 25 mins of your time, you will realize that it was very much worth the time spent to watch this particular one-shot anime.
