Well, given his other shows, maybe there was a reason he didn’t show the character’s as much as he should? Personally, I’m going to wait until all three parts are out before deciding whether this was a purely anesthetic scenery endeavor.

I still enjoyed watching it very much - including all the pretty background scenes. Though they should have focused on the character’s more, I still did not feel that it overly detracted from the film, yet. They spent enough time on the scenery it was noticeable, but not enough that it made me dislike the film entirely.

I agree with your wife all the way haha. The background is supposed to “support” the theme, not swallow it up!

Oh! She felt very strongly that it was hard to symphathize with the emotions stated in the narration for we can’t see them well on the face of the characters.

My wife mostly concur with Hinano’s original assessment of this movie episode. She feels strongly that too much time is wasted on the background and not enough time was spent on visual character developement. Although she heard the narrations, she felt most of the scenes to be either excessive or not correlating well with the content of the monologue.

I recall Takaki picking up some magazine or book that reads “1995″.. now to watch it again.

OOh okay! Well that makes sense. I though this was like…a self contained episode. (I guess I shoulda done my research ^^;) Maybe with more stuff it’s actually pretty good….

oh okay I wasn’t sure when this whole thing took place and I was also like “what is this 1990?” hehe.

I though everyone hyped the whole thing in general….cause hey the background animation was awesome 2 thumbs up! There’s gonna be a film? I’m not familiar with what this whole thing is about other than seein a few people mention it on their blog.

>>Why don’t they have cell phones? I mean who WRITES letters anymore?>>

If I got my information correct, the movie takes place in early 90s when little things like msn didn’t exist and not every had cellphones at that point.
