Voices of a Distant Star/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anime First: This is Makoto Shinkai's first major work: his first actual work was the short She and Her Cat and is a bonus feature on the DVD release.
  • Doing It for the Art: Makoto Shinkai did everything himself, except for the music and voice acting. In the original cut, he even did the voice work - he and his fiancee acted out all the roles. After the film's phenomenal success, a new voice track with professional voice actors was created for a wider release.
  • No Export for You: The first novel by Waku Ōba, despite having been released all the way back in 2002, still does not have an official English translation yet.
  • Technology Marches On: Despite the fact that it is 2046, cell phones resemble their counterparts from the 1990s, complete with their bulky chassis and small green LCD displays.
