It was kind of depressing although a very realistic depiction of life, something I don't see that often in anime. I wish I could had gotten a chance to watch "...Lost Voices", I had wanted to see that for a while, poor time management on my part

You can find love again of course, so it doesn't have to be as depressing as it is at the end of his films though it does feel like it at first and of course it is more power emotionally to leave it like that rather than him calling Sumida or finding someone else. The film in itself does leave you with that sense of futility. The novel, on the other hand.... I won't spoil it for you, but it doesn't end with the train station!

The novel, photographs, and illustrations are all by Shinkai himself (unlike the novelisations of The Place Promised and Voices which were adapted by a different author). It's a beautiful work of art (and very long- over 500 pages!)

There is actually a novel (two of them in fact) and a graphic novel adaptation of the film, both continue past the end of the movie. The first novel adaptation (2007) is written by Makoto Shinkai (the original creator/director), the second novel adaptation (Called One More Side, 2011) is written by Shinta Kanou (who also wrote the novel adaptations of Voices of a Distant Star and The Place Promised in Our Early Days). The graphic novel adaptation (2010) is by Yukiko Seike.

I liked them all to a great extent, but that one felt the most refined (not because of how recent it is either). Either way, I've found a fantastic new director and cannot wait to see his new work.

The same story (may diverge in the telling of it though), from different perspectives (they are all different versions of the same thing after all). Like, for instance, in the graphic novel adaptation (I own the English omnibus released by Vertical), it shows more of the inner thoughts of the characters, and gives more attention to Kanae than in the movie (a grown-up Kanae, at that). I won't spoil anything, but I liked the ending of the manga more than the movie (I also like Seike's art style, it's simple yet clean and efficient). With either of the two novels, sadly I haven't gotten a chance to read yet, I'm pretty sure it's the same story just from a different perspective like I have said (different authors etc.).

Again, again, thanks! Perhaps I will buy them all, the two novels and the two manga issues it seems there are. With amazon Japan shipping it is not much more to order 8 books instead of 1...

I have to say, but the shipping from Amazon Japan sure is fast! For example, I ordered the Blu-ray version of Time of Eve and two days later (maybe it was three (?)) it came in the mail. The other things I'm hoping to order next are the Blu-ray volumes of White Album, all volumes of Tetsuwan Birdy II and Tetsuwan Birdy II: Evolution manga, and the Blu-ray version of Denpa teki na Kanojo. Also perhaps both Ibitsu(s) mangas, the one by Ryou Haruto and the one by Kuzato Okada (both are unrelated, they just share the same title, but they are both good regardless). Enough about that though, this thread is about 5 Centimeters Per Second not Amazon Jp!

I often get things on release day because they ship preorders 1-2 days ahead and the shipping halfway around the world is so fast. They used to have (literally) a slow ship from Japan that took 4-6 weeks but they dropped it, and I'm glad! We must have been separated at birth and by a couple of decades give or take or something... A tiny portion of my import manga collection, Tetsuwan Birdy manga, both series: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hpulley/8088243730/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/hpulley/ me, on Flickr Yes, 5cm per second, Voice of the Stars, Promise... have to consider the BDs for these series too if I can still get them shipped here. Some old stuff at amazon is at convenience stores and places that won't ship out of Japan
