@ETERNAL: Hmm, that's interesting - I don't think Shinkai's films are particularly romantic. There's love, true enough, but I tend to zero in more on the isolationist mood of his works than the aspects that deal with human relationships. @Yamcha: It's an acquired taste, I suppose. For my part, I like his films because the themes resonate strongly on a personal level (in addition to the peerless artwork, of course). Diegos last blog post...You’ve got to be kidding me.

Try as I might I just can’t like Shinkai. Sure the films are visually gorgeous and all but the stories don’t strike any chords with me. That’s just my personal taste though.

Beautifully told indeed. The story was technically flawed, but when it comes to Shinkai, I always find myself looking beyond the surface. Maybe I’m just weak to romance like that

@Zeroblade: You're probably right, it may be an earlier issue. I imagine the extras are exclusive to the DVD packaged with the Shinkai Collection. Diegos last blog post...New DVD Review Alert! - Voices of a Distant Star

That’s strange, my copy of Hoshi no Koe only has a single DVD (no OST) and just a little slip of cardboard, rather than a booklet. I guess mine’s the earlier version.
