Despite the rough animation and 3D effects, I actually quite enjoyed this. I was expecting to not really get invested into it, but somehow Shinkai made me care about this story. The theme of strained relationships is found in all of his work with this being no exception. The character designs are kind of wack and the 3D is extremely dated, but the landscapes and lighting really stand out just like any of his other work. It's really cool to see the early work of someone who has made it as big as him and see how far they've progressed. It's kind of inspirational in a way. Probably won't watch this again as it's leaving Crunchyroll at the end of the month, which is the main reason why I decided to watch it.
