| The first few minutes reminded me of Darling in the franx and I instantly became sad. Damn this was really good. The animation immediately reminded me of the other Makoto Shinkai animes I've watched. This was a very gripping story. Everything was shown in such a great way, one could literally feel what those two were feeling, those two were the farthest one could ever be from one another. Imagine waiting 8 years just to receive a single message. It's too depressing to even think about it. Although I'm very very confused about the ending. Did she die? Overall, 9/10. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Interesting to see how Makoto Shinkai's work has changed and stayed the same from this period to the present. We see some themes shared like long distance relationships and being far apart. Being separated by forces out of our hands and being unable to fulfill love. If you cut out the space battle stuff its basically the a very similar story to his later work of 5 Centimeters Per Second, while also including train tracks for some reason. Its a ok, but this is just a preliminary start to his career as a creator. I would be interested to see if this was remastered and what he could do with what he has learned and the advancements of technology. |

| all design is ok but really weird character design... sometimes it seems just poorly drawn... then high school kids fighting wars and saving the world... bleh... anime never gets tired of it... where is all the resolve to join those ranks and embark in that fight? nauseating melodrama... *ending credits roll* oh, it's from that guy, now I understand r/im14andthisisdeep |

| Decent story, considering how short it is. The concept of the girl being sent into space and having to communicate through mail that takes progressively longer to reach the recipient was handled with care. It also makes you feel some manner of sympathy for the circumstances they're in. The muffled sound design and weird visuals did let it down a bit though, especially during the space battles. A scene explaining why the girl was sent into such a role would've been nice too. |

| Took a while to get used to it, but halfway down the run time, I was quite intrigued by what was going on and the tone was set right for the most part. Of course, it's made by one person, but the designs here are kinda ugly and the movement is weird which makes sense when you are not following the standard procedure of animating and of course, the CG was dated but I still enjoyed some of the mech-Tarnish interactions. |
