PAMPHLETS!? DESCRIPTIONS OF HOW IT WAS MADE!?
I am so moving out of australia after year 12( currently in) we never get anything decent. it took weeks to find somewhere that actually knew that byousuko even existed. and now its going to come out in HD everywhere before we get it in standard dvd.

^I agree.

Australia's an excellent country but things you want from other countries take so long to get here. I really want to move to Japan if I get the chance and start a new physical life there. Only time can tell...

I guess I just found something to do after posting on here Smile

Hey .. my sister and her family live in NZ, I think they may have it worse off than you guys in AUS Smile

I finally sat down and looked through the Pamphlet that came with the Voices/Place Promised collection set. It's pretty cool. There's an interview with Shinkai, and then notes on the various scenes in the film. There are a few pages on the tecnical aspects of how the film was created and then there's a Q&A with Tenmon concerning the music in the movie. I'd recommend getting this box set if you can. It also comes with a CD of the music from Voices.

For the scientifically disinclined (is that even a correct phrase? Razz

) among us (*cough* me *cough*), could someone explain why Mikako didn't age?

Not sure... even if your mind is dreaming your body will still age! Unless your bodly organs stop moveing and are preseved some how. I mean if your dreaming your body's still working.

I'm not scientifically inclined, nor am I inclined in spelling! But just seems liek comon sense taht you would age. Didnt she age? I didnt notice.

This is the classic twin's paradox, click here for more info on this ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

Zitch, you're not going to solve to see if the ages in the movie are correct based upon the distances and time specified in the movie are you? ^_^
