if u r a makoto shinkai + tenmon fans n u also like eminence orchestra, view my channel to see the latest collaboration between them on the latest project called "promise". u must see or u will regards!! Please do not spam hide or "spam" this message because i give a good news for all of you, guys. Thanks before :D
the reason why the people look badly drawn at parts is because the guy who made this worked on it ALL BY HIMSELF. He just sat at his computer one night and decided he wanted to make Hoshi no Koe. His wife and him did the voices originally but were done over. This is my most favorite movie ever! I like the manga too.
actually the reason it looks so awkward is because the guy can't draw. His specialty is computer modeling, that's why he modeled the whole thing in 3D and drew&painted back over top of it. The awkward proportions are from his 3D models being a bit too blocky in some spots. After all, he did the whole thing using standard purchased -in other words, non-professional- programming, on a normal desk top computer. After the success of his short film he had a pro artist do the manga.
I only know this stuff because my DVD came with a "making of" booklet
Most of the backgrounds were done using photos that he drew his line art over, modifying what he needed. The digital painting and rendering of textures were all his own skill though, and that's impressive.
It's amazing that he had such a wide range of visions for the setting; from the gritty little details of the semi-urban Earth setting, to the desert landscapes of Mars, and then the green plains of the one Alien planet.
Take a look at his newer works. The character drawings get better. I'm not sure if the characters are drawn by him though. The scenery still stays amazing. In fact, I think it gets better too.
I rather enjoy the naiveté of these drawings. They have personality and a unique style. the characters in his later works look to much of a generic anime style. Not to say they didn't improve, he still holds a unique characteristic with his textures and backgrounds, but the rendering of the later characters lack enthusiasm.
I found this anime a few days ago, and I find it very interesting. I read your comments, and I didn't know there's a movie version of this. Can we find it on Youtube or another site online? Thank you for your attention.
its not the same thing but the movie is based on the same story. its called 5 centimeters Per Second and the animation is amazinggg and yes u can find it on youtube.
Although it's translated like you say, it literally just means "The Star's Voice" or "Voice of a Star", where star obviously is a gaseous body in space (not something weird like a rockstar which would make the title immediately inappropriate XP )
everything in this movie is beautiful! except the character design. i actually read the manga version by mizu sahara first, i like it a lot and recommend it to everyone. she's a fabulous artist. of course the director of this movie gets credit for coming up with the story in the first place. :D
reminds me of ender's game slightly, with the relativity theory and the fact they use children in the war

実写のような背景。独特なストーリー。
秀逸な作品であることは間違いないが、
人物の絵だけ素人みたいで気になるのは私だけ？？

Yeah, I might as well say that! LOL But, you must admit that the background looks really good. He has some drawing talent, just not the best.

Thank you, I have seen '5cm per second' already. I was just wondering if they have made a live film with these animations.
