"A thrilling yet sobering piece, it is among the very best ....anime has to offer. That it was created, directed, and animated by a single man on a Macintosh G4/computer only adds to the magnitude of this achievement.
It's difficult to qualify Shinkai's masterpiece because, simply put, it has no equal" Jonathan Mays @ANIME


It's 2046 in a war-torn universe.
Can true love endure across light-years. Voices of a Distant Star is a 25min anime featurette from newcomer Makoto Shinkai, a film animated end-to-end on a Macintosh G4/400 system using readily-available
animation and graphics programs.

As homemade anime, this multi award-winning title sets new standards in CG animation and captivates audiences with its moving storyline.

When a young girl, Mikako, heeds the call to fight against an evil alien force known as the Tarsians, she is risking not only her life but also her love.

As the resistance forges deeper into space on their mission, millions of intergalactic miles separate Mikako from Noburu, who is caught in a waiting game, only able to communicate with Mikako by text-message.
