So... pretty. Kanon looks like South Park in comparison. The shot where the two kids were running down the street around that corner was so smooth that I got goosebumps. Now, not only are his backgrounds amazing, but the people look just as good. Just... wow. |

I was also amazed by the imagery but I guess that's already been mentioned in the...many posts before. I really like the music here and it has the same feel as in the score used in Kumo no Mukou. Although I was surprised when the male voice started singing because I was expecting a female voice to sing this beautiful piece. But either way, it still sounds beautiful and matches the breathtaking visuals so well.
I am definitely getting this OST too. Anyone know what other shows Tenmon composed for? Edit: I wonder if this is drawn or was an actual photo retouched using Photoshop? Or both? I want his skills! *_* http://i.yimg.jp/images/evt/5cm/4/kabegami_5cm3m.jpg Last edited by Sakuya; 2006-11-20 at 19:50. |

The song is by Masayoshi Yamazaki. It's called "One more time, one more chance", and it's actually his first hit, which came out in 1996.
I don't know who does the incidental music, but I am betting that it's Tenmon's work yet again. Quote:

They're probably based off photos to some extent, but Shinkai has some pretty damn godly skills for background art -- it obviously shows since his earlier work. I particularly like his ultra-saturated colors which reminds me of Evangelion manga covers. I'm really envious of his skills. I also actually friggin teared - not cried -, at the first trailer. The aesthetic experience was incredible.. it wasn't exactly the emotional content but really the coming together of the music and the motion of the art. |

This is going to be an absolute eye-fest. The part that got me in this new trailer was the one where the lights over the dark classroom switched on.
Ah, imgshack decided to start working. This scene. Last edited by Lost; 2006-11-25 at 13:22. |

It's really amazing how Makoto Shinkai can make pictures look so alive; he draws different objects in a magnificent way - realistic and cartoon-ishly beautiful at the same time. There's no other person like him.
I have watched the trailer over 50 times; no kidding! It's so good that I can't really watch a tv anime right now. The song is also very good, and it matches surprisingly well with the animation. |

Prior to seeing the two high-def trailers, it had been established in my survey of anime that the best 3-D CG animation graphics was Advent Children, and the best 2-D animation graphics was "Beyond the Clouds." Ghibli fans may contest the latter claim with much merit, but the point I make is conveyed; Makoto Shinkai does some incredible work.
With Miyazaki's eventual retirement an inevitability, many fans and critics have wandered about who, if any, might become the Next One. Makoto, possessing a distinctive art style, a powerful form of story telling is certainly a compelling candidate to pick up the torch. He is of course young and its far too premature in his career to start discussing greatness; Shinkai's style is modern and minimalist in its realism, and I feel that it lacks still the element of the Fantastic which Ghibli films have used over the decades to really grab audiences, young and old alike, across international boundaries. His work is good enough, however, that I would reccomend them as gateway anime with which to "shock and awe" first time anime viewers with, for he succeeds in one critical area: Changing the popular foreign perception that animation cannot be as successful a medium in telling serious stories like movies can; his works makes people take anime seriously. Looking forward to this tremendously. Contributing to the accolades lavished upon the visuals, I quote myself on my review for "Beyond the Clouds: The Promised Place:" The graphics are so good, every screenshot could be my wallpaper.
