YEESH!!! i've been waiting forever for this! Hope it'll be better than his previous work. Byousoku 5 senchimetoru really got me, so, i hope this will be even better. this man (Shinkai) is awesomeness.. he really knows how to write a story about "distance".
Lol, dr roxo. But still, it's good know that Shinkai Makoto is cooking something up, and something that doesn't make me feel like bitter bastard on the inside. According to the ANN article, his next film is supposed to show how people cope with the loss of a loved one. Though it somewhat detracts from his previous themes/motifs, I really want a happier ending this time.
