A new entry about how Makoto Shinkai's been doing in London. Maybe those of you down there will recognise the picture he's taken of his neighbourhood. I have the impression that he's been getting a lot of visitors but doesn't mind them since he's been eating out and drinking with them. He writes:
April 22nd 2008 It's nearing the end of...
I still haven't managed to find a good place to order Makoto Shinkai's first artbook yet. Reader Maltos managed to find HMV (it's in English) but, £7 delivery is just a bit hefty to be honest when the book itself is already around £13 so I'm still keeping an eye out for alternatives. I suppose it's better than Amazon's ridiculous 19...
I'm sure anyone who has watched Makoto Shinkai's works such as his recent "5 Centimetres per Second" will agree the backgrounds he manages to create are stunningly beautiful. Well, the good news is if you want to own a hard copy of all those backgrounds, you'll soon be able to. According to this advert that Daike-san spotted, Kodansha...
Remember Kaguya (AKA, "Selene"), the lunar probe that was launched from Tanegashima a few months ago? It doesn't really have much to do with "5 Centimetres per Second" but since the island was used as a setting in the movie, I thought I would put this post under that category anyway just like the last one.

Content-wise, these HD releases contain the movie itself and eight minutes of extras. The extras are comprised of the movie trailers and also the "One more time, One more chance" PV 5 Centimetres per Second Special Edition that only came with the LE DVD release. However, oddly en...
Update: You can now read the story yourself at my new fan site. Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Kanae:Oh no! It's not your fault. I was the one who came to see you. Takaki:But I'm glad we talked. Well see you tomorrow. Be careful you don't catch the cold. Good night. Kanae:I will. Good nig...
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Thoughts...
Ah, there's always someone out there trying to make some quick cash eh? Usually I would say these "enterprising" individuals are causing fans problems but in this case, I suppose it's just half and half. It appears that last month, someone managed to sell off the Byousoku 5 Centimeters film strip they had via Yahoo Auctions for an end...

Yes! The 5 Centimeters per Second novel has finally arrived from YesAsia after much waiting and trying out many ways to get it. I was expecting one of those smooth covers judging by the image retailers have up on their sites but, the cover outside the hardback book is actually a rough one. The book is...
