Review of Voices of a Distant Star (2002) by Patryk C — 12 Sep 2012
A sci-fi story about love, made with such subtleness and deep emotional impact that its simply breathtaking and heartbreaking at the same time. When a girl is sent on to fight aliens in deep space, she promises to stay in touch with her love, a boy, who stays on Earth at the time.
However, due to non-stop movements deeper and deeper into the vast space, her messages arrive much later than they should. With perfectly adequate visual style and animations, and a bunch of truly saddening one-liners, the story shows a story about two brave teenagers, and love lost for the sake of greater good.
A masterpiece from Makoto Shinkai.
