Voices of a Distant Star

One of Japan’s most talked-about anime titles of the 2002! A brilliant anime, made all the more impressive by the fact of its single-handed creation by Makoto Shinkai (who wrote, directed and animated the film on his Power Mac!)

The story begins in the year 2046. A mysterious and dangerous creature called Tarcian is lurking on the edge of outer space. The UN Space Force mounts a mission to destroy the deadly creature, and Mikako, a young schoolgirl, is mustered to join the UN force. Unfortunately, she must leave her boyfriend Noboru behind on Earth. The couple bridges the gap between outer space and their home by communicating through mobile phone e-mails. But as the miles between them grow, the longer it takes to receive each other’s messages, creating an even larger divide for the young lovers to cross if they’re to be back in each other’s arms again.
