Might it be one of those films that's better when muted and accompanied by music? You could probably imagine a better plot as it goes along.

Yeah!  I've got Garden of Words coming from the library soon, too.

I don't think this one even had two intertwining protagonists separated by a difference, unless you mean that they came from different worlds... because that seems very superficial in this case, an "in name only" thing, and wasn't at all the topic under discussion in the movie >_>

God, beautiful animation, but so little sense
It sorta did, once you seen Garden of Words or if you haven't yet 5cm Per Second you will see the similarities of all of the plots.

The only one I haven't actually seen is "Children who chase lost voices". I have it here though, in the queue.

I vaguely remember somewhere hearing it was more "mainstream" than his other ones, with a main quest, action, or whatever. It could be his attempt to crossover into the mainstream, which didn't pan out.

Garden of Words is back to form, though.

Well, to be honest, that wouldn't be the focus of a Makoto Shinkai movie. He looks at how people interrelate, or fail to relate, and isn't terribly interested in world-building, techno-jargon and "applied phlebotinum". You'll get just enough setting to outline the relationships between the main characters. I have yet to see a Makoto Shinkai movie that had an actual antagonist, only a vague conception of "the enemy".

Ah... this one was very settings-based, and yes, there was no real antagonist, but at the same time... I have to say that the characters weren't very delicately drawn.  It was a mess.  Very different writing from, for example, Voices from a Distant Star.

I'm going to chalk it up to an experiment and see how I like Garden of Words :]

I was listening to some Daft Punk some time ago, and after hearing 'One More Time', I recalled there being a music video for it. I didn't know it was a full-on AMV/OAV.

Worth a watch (and maybe with the influence of a few other things):
Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem

No dubs or subs, just music and action.

Just watched it last night. It's in the correct order. I just love the guitar in Aerodynamic.

i5555 Saturdays was the main reason I watched Toonami Aftermath. (Most of the remaining reason was Hajime no Ippo.)

You should give Hourou Musuko a look, Vector, if you haven't seen it, and don't mind a fairly slow-paced drama.

Oh!  I read the first book of that manga.  Thanks, I might just try it out!
