That moment... I felt as though I could grasp things like eternity, the heart, or the soul. It's as if, I thought, I could share with her this whole year of my life. Then, the next moment, I had an unbearable fit of sadness. Akari's warmth, Akari's soul... How could I reach them? Where could I take them? I just didn't know. Suddenly, I was keenly aware that we wouldn't be able to remain together forever. The overwhelming power of our lives, the boundless vastness of time were stretching hopelessly before us.
"All I want is the strength to protect her," I thought intently. With that alone on my mind, I kept gazing at the scenery out of the window forever.

... from the movie i love most and which pains me most. too close to home. i often think of the Kanae's in my life and how i owe them all huge apologies... but what would those serve anyways?
^ ^ still keeping your eyes peeled for your Akari?
wow u watched that too? ;)
hahaha... i dont think i have found my akari!
am a huge Shinkai fanatic... watched everything by him (including the eroge openings and tv ads)!
i *hope* i haven't met my Akari, though i certainly have glimpses of her ^ ^
have you seen Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko (She and Her Cat)?

That my fav all times anime. And i've forgotten how many times i've watched it. Its never failed to bring a certain sadness into me but still, its kept me glued to it again again and again. Perhaps human beings luv sadness to be able to 'feel alive' again.
i know what you mean... y'know that last scene in the film, when Tohno turns around from the train... and there's that slightest smile playing on his lips? that one smile has given me strength every single time i see and think about it.
yup i gotta agree with you two. i was filled with overwhelming emotions watching it, and after i finished it i had to go for a walk around my neighbourhood. hahah. it's so beautiful and sad, so heavy and light all at the same time. am a huge fan of Shinkai's work now too. he's brilliant. i watched Voices From A Distant Star too! it's equally heartbreaking!
