Hoshi o Ou Kodomo (Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below)

[shiroth]

You know the man behind Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days & 5 Centimeters Per Second? Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below is his next project, and the first trailer was released today.

& the film summary:

Asuna lost her father and lives a lonely life listening to mysterious music coming from her father's crystal radio. One day she sets out for a journey to see a boy again. Through the adventure' date=' she experiences a parting and finds the cruelty and the beauty of the world.[/quote']

Visuals are absolutely stunning, plus the first Temon piece we heard for the movie is beautiful, as expected. I'm on board for this, and can not wait.

If this is the first time you've heard of Makoto Shinkai and haven't seen any of his previous works, then i highly recommend you do so now.

Not sure why, but the trailer reminds me of Grandia for some reason.

I don't know why but I immediately thought of that Robin Williams movie "Behind the Horizon..." or something like that.

Trailer looked pretty good. I'll be looking out for this.

Colors are pretty awesome. I just hope the story is coherent.

I'm not really into fantasy stories but with this director it may turn surprising: I'll wait patiently...
