It's a piece of shit that's praised solely because he did it mostly by himself. The designs are also ugly.

As much as I love Shinkai this was easily his weakest movie, even if it the theme really resonated with me.
What disappointed me the most about the inclusion of robots and aliens is how little it did to actually progress anything, it was just kind of there to justify space travel- which really doesn't need the justification? if I'm remembering right anyway, it's been years
It's also before he hit his stride with drawing people so the characters don't look particularly good, even if the scenery is still great. Tenmon still does a good job with the soundtrack, though.

For only having a 30 min. runtime it was good enough. It wasn't like some unparalleled masterpiece but it's worth a watch.

I don't mind the aliens not having much of a place in the story since the OVA is more about the relationship than it is the war.

The mecha is an odd combination of the RGZ, Nu and other CCAesque things.

All of his movies are the same

Gunbuster did time dilation much better.

Voices of a Distant Star was less time dilation and more lightspeed lag.

the mecha in that are barely even window dressing.
