| 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. |

| 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. |
| This is nothing but a missed opportunity. The movie missed all its chances to capitalize on the story told on the manga, and left out soo many details that would actually have given the plot some substance. Where was the fmc's friendship with the girl (Mika? I think)? What about showing us how the people tasked with saving the solar system galaxy I don't even know, relate with one another. Or at least seeing others around...or something. The art in the manga wasn't that great, and the animation was pretty poor as well (though I read somewhere that it was created by a one-man team, so, who am I to judge...). I'm not really a huge fan of romance so I can't really say anything about that plot on its own...though there could have been some improvements...liike an origin story (how they met...started hanging out...their growth over the years they'd known each other...idk) or the fmc's reaction when she realized she was drafted. I also found it pretty ridiculous how there was no sign of technological improvement in the year 2046...I could go on and on to be honest. I was really disappointed. Well on to the next because I'm still a newbie to animanga in general... |

| Makoto Shinkai was have a some drinks while written the script for what would be 5 Centimeters per Second later and the same time watching EoE and was like: I had an idea!! |
| Interesting concept but the execution left a lot to be desired. An interesting piece of media indeed. |
