    An achingly beautiful, poetic, simple movie about love and limitlessness.

    Makoto Shinkai > Hayao Miyazaki. Everything Shinkai has ever done has touched me profoundly.

    A ridiculously good anime. Probably better to watch with a significant other lest you cry your eyes physically out of your body.

    Wonderful movie, it's simple but still manages to grasp a very complex universe of dreams and love. Definitely a must see for romance and japan animation fans.
