Seeing this and reading the manga made me want a remake of this combining both aspects with the current animation. Each lacks something over the other, for example, the OVA lacked some of the details of the world and some elements in the manga (makes sense since it was only 25 minutes and the manga was released 2 years later) and the manga lacked the fight scenes (especially the last one).

The manga ending is better one since its hopeful but its not set in stone as it tells the danger of the rescue in Noboru and the engineer's side. Also Mikako and the remaining crew safety is hanging on a thread because we don't know if the Tarsians are gonna attack again.

Overall, this will be good if they remade it, since it's one of the first or the first love drama that Makoto Shinkai has made.

It's his most interesting work from a writing standpoint and it would benefit greatly from modern visuals and 45 extra minutes added to the runtime. Shinkai is huge now and the remake would expose a bigger audience to his early work.

Out of all his works, Voices of a Distant Start is the only one that I liked. its great, given its only 25 minutes long, so not fair to compare it to his longer movies work. But this was great, I really felt it. Yeah, a remake with more epilogue material would be great.

yeah, if they remade this with 2020 comixwave animation and adapted the story from the manga then it'd be really good
