There's some pretty average stuff in there, but also some outstanding ones. Of course, it is notable that the last episode is "Neko no Shuukai", and is done by Makoto Shinkai, featuring Chobi the cat.

Este povestea unui tînăr profesor chinuit de multiple angoase. Deşi provenind dintr-o familie cu tradiţie şi bani, Itoshiki Nozomu nu poate ieşi dintr-o pasă neagră cronică. Pînă şi pictogramele cu care îşi scrie numele pot fi citite împreună ca "zetsubou" (disperare).

Ce anume îl afectează atît de puternic pe Itoshiki? Aproape orice. Zilnic are ocazia să întîlnească manifestări ale lumii înconjurătoare ce au darul de-al deprima îngrozitor. De la teama ca un card pierdut să nu ducă la golirea contului său şi pînă la exasperarea în faţa entuziasmului infantil al mass-media faţă de subiecte penibile, multiple sînt motivele ce-l aduc aproape în pragul sinuciderii.

" Episoadele, mai mult ca niciodată, sunt imbuibate cu aluzii, conotaţii, expuneri - Bob Marley, Baron Muchaussen, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Gundam, Astro Boy, The soviet union, The old testament, hashimoto Faction, Lupin ( again), Che gue Vara, Dragon Ball Z, Junsei Tsuji, Matrix, Madame du Poumpadour, Milli (volley ball girl), Audition, Emille Galle, Gaudi, Kabuki, Rococo, japanes pop idols .....si multe-muuuuuuulte altele.


Din preaplinul de nebunie al creatorilor sunt ejaculate imagini profunde ce necesită o bogată cultură precomprehensivă; fără un minimum de cunoştinţe prealabile nu ar exista o extragere mulţumitoare a sensului din unităţile vizuale prezentate."

Makoto Shinkai ~beautiful~

Makoto Shinkai (Shinkai Makoto?), born Makoto Niitsu (Niitsu Makoto?) (born February 9, 1973) is a Japanese anime director, animator, and principal voice actor. A native of the Nagano prefecture in Japan, he studied Japanese literature in university. He traces his passion for creation to the manga, anime, and novels he was exposed to while in middle school. His favorite anime is Castle in the Sky by Hayao Miyazaki. Shinkai has been called "The New Miyazaki" in several reviews including Anime Advocates and ActiveAnime, though he disagrees with this comparison, stating that "it is an overestimation".

The Place Promised in Our Early Days



Totally love this anime music video using Kokia’s Arigatou with the anime ‘The Place Promised In Our Early Days’ (Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho). Kokia is a relatively lesser known Japanese singer who knew how to express her feelings by sound in her early childhood and her third single ‘Arigatou’ used in this anime music video won the third place in the International Popular Music Award in Hong Kong. 1 videoclip after the jump.



She and Her Cat: She and Her Cat, subtitled Their standing points, is an independent five minute anime OVA about the relationship between a male cat and his female owner told from the cat's perspective. It was created mostly by Makoto Shinkai, except the soundtrack, which was done by his friend Tenmon. She and Her Cat is also the first project Makoto Shinkai directed.



5 Centimeters Per Second

Makoto Shinkai had expressed that, unlike his past works, there would be no fantasy or science fiction elements in this film. Instead, the feature film would attempt to present the real world from a different perspective. Makoto's film gives a realistic view of the struggles many face against: time, space, people, and love. The title 5 Centimeters Per Second comes from the speed at which cherry blossoms petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.[1]





Other Worlds:
This is the first short anime (1 min 28 sec) which Mr. Shinkai made in 1997, and He continued adjusting it till 1999. The motifs, which appears in his other films again and again, repeatedly already used in it; such as trains, telegraph poles, and everyday scenery of Japanese town. The atmosphere is close to "Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko."
Special Award in "eAT Kanazawa '98"
The Highest Award (General Animation Category) in "SKIP Creative Human Award '98"



After winning the grand prize, Shinkai began thinking about a follow-up while he continued to work as a graphic designer for Falcom, a video game company. Some months later in June 2000, Shinkai was inspired to begin Voices of a Distant Star by drawing a picture of a girl in a cockpit grasping a cell phone. Some time later, he was contacted by Mangazoo, who offered to "work with him," giving him a grant to turn his idea into an anime they could sell. In May 2001, he quit his job at Falcom and began to work on Voices. In an interview, Shinkai noted that production took around seven months of "real work."
