You could indeed open a new thread for Makoto Shinkai's "5 cm per second" hengcs. I've started watching anime again, and obtained this title (and many more ) to check out in the future. Your review sounds promising. Last anime I watched was probably the OVA "Last Exile", which was overall a fantastic experience and also my first anime series (that consisted of mote than 3 or 4 episodes) I actually completed. I can honestly recommend it to any lover of anime. Especially the first bunch of episodes are outstanding. I won't write a review now, as I'm not in the mood. Suffice to say, it has shown me what I have missed the last 8 years, when I watched way too little anime (and also animation in general).
