Voices of a Distant Star (ほしのこえ, Hoshi no Koe, lit. "Voices of a Star") is a Japanese original video animation (OVA) written, produced and directed by Makoto Shinkai. The OVA premiered in Japan in February 2002 in an advanced screening. It was followed by two DVD releases on April 19 and October 6, 2002. It chronicles a long-distance relationship between two close friends who communicate by sending e-mails using their mobile telephones across interstellar space. ADV Films licensed the OVA for release in North American and the United Kingdom, and Madman Entertainment licensed it for Australasia. However, the United Kingdom license has since been obtained by Anime Limited. The OVA is also licensed in France by Kazé, in Italy by D/visual, in Russia by XLM Media and in Taiwan by Proware Multimedia International.

The OVA was adapted into a drama CD by Pioneer LDC and a novel was written by Waku Ōba, illustrated by Makoto Shinkai and Kou Yaginuma, and published by Media Factory's imprint MF Bunko J.

A manga adaptation, also derived from the OVA, was written by Makoto Shinkai and illustrated by Mizu Sahara. It was serialized from April 2004 in Kodansha's manga magazine, Afternoon. Kodansha released the manga as an one-shot on February 23, 2005. The manga was licensed for a North American release by Tokyopop, which published it on August 1, 2006. The manga was also licensed in Italy by D/visual, in Germany by Egmont Manga & Anime and in Portugal by Panini Comics.

In 2002, the OVA was awarded the Animation Kobe award for packaged work. It also won the 2003 Seiun Award for best media. Reviews of the series have been generally positive, with reviewers praising the series and applauding the art, plot and music; however criticism of the English dubbing was received.

Plot

A schoolgirl named Mikako Nagamine is recruited into the UN Space Army to fight in a war against a group of aliens called the Tarsians—named after the Tharsis region of Mars where they were first encountered. As a Special Agent, Mikako pilots a giant robotic mecha called a Tracer as part of a fighting squadron attached to the spacecraft carrier Lysithea. When the Lysithea leaves Earth to search for the Tarsians, Mikako's friend Noboru Terao remains on Earth. The two continue to communicate across space using the e-mail facilities on their mobile telephones. As the Lysithea travels deeper into space, messages take increasingly longer to reach Noboru on Earth, and the time-lag of their correspondence eventually spans years.

The narrative begins in 2047. Mikako is apparently alone in a hauntingly empty city, trying to contact people through her mobile telephone. She wakes up in her Tracer orbiting an extrasolar planet. She then goes to Agartha, the fictional fourth planet of the Sirius System. Mikako sends an e-mail to Noboru (which shows the date 2047-09-16), with the subject "I am here", which would reach him eight years later. Some flashes of imagery, perhaps indicative of memory, a hallucination, or even a mystical encounter, are then shown. The room shown at the beginning of the animation is presented again; Mikako is squatting in the corner, sobbing and pleading with her doppelganger to let her see Noboru again so she can tell him she loves him.

The ship's alarm warns Mikako that the Tarsians are surrounding her, but she does not understand. A climactic battle ensues. On Earth, Noboru receives the message almost nine years later. At Agartha, three of the four carriers equipped with the warp engines which brought the expeditionary force to Sirius have been destroyed. The Lysithea is still intact after Mikako joins the fight and stops its destruction. After winning the battle, Mikako lets her damaged Tracer drift in space.

In the manga, at 16 years old, Mikako sends a message to 25 years old Noboru, telling him that she loves him. By this time, Noboru has joined the UN, which has launched a rescue mission for the Lysithea. When Mikako hears that that UN is sending help for their rescue, she consults a list of people on the mission, and finds that Noboru is among them. The manga ends with Mikako saying that they will definitely meet again.

Production

Screenshots of places in Japan used in the animation of Voices of a Distant Star

Voices of a Distant Star was written, directed and produced entirely by Makoto Shinkai on his Power Mac G4 using LightWave, Adobe Photoshop 5.0, Adobe After Effects 4.1 and Commotion 3.1 DV software.[1][2] Around June 2000, Shinkai drew the first picture for Voices, which is a picture of a girl holding a cell phone in a cockpit.[3] Shinkai cited Dracula and Laputa as inspirations to make Voices.[4] He stated that the length of production was seven months.[5] Another inspiration cited was his frequent cell messaging to his wife when he was working.[1] Shinkai cited the availability of digital hardware and software tools for image production at his workplace, Falcom, as well as friends' view that individual film production could occur due to the introduction of PlayStation 2 and DVDs.[6] Makoto and his then girlfriend, Mika Shinohara, provided the voice acting for the working dub (A second Japanese dub was later created for the DVD release with professional voice actors).[7] Makoto's friend Tenmon, who had worked with Makoto at his video game company, provided the soundtrack.[7] The song and film were created together in sync during storyboarding. Sometimes, the timing of the animation had to be changed to match the music.[8]

I think it's because of the theme of the story - communication between people. I used cell phones in the story because that is what is commonly used in Japan to communicate, but there are many countries where people don't use cell phones. Communication from the heart is ever-lastingly important wherever you are, so I assume that is why it appealed to so many people. The other thing that is appealing is that I created this animation by myself. The mass media reported on the man who created anime by himself. I'm looking forward to more people doing things this way and seeing an emergence of independent animators, whether it's individuals or small groups.

Reception

Voices of A Distant Star film was listed 100th on DVD Verdict's Top 100 DVD Films list.[35] It has also won the Animation Kobe for packaged work in 2002 and the 2003 Seiun Award for best media.[36][37]

Anime News Network's Jonathan Mays criticizes the dubbing of the film by Steven Foster. He says, "Foster carelessly omits critical details, completely rewrites some scenes, misinterprets emotions, and even adds new dialogue where the original track had silence".[12] In an Anime News Network interview, Steven Foster defends his decision to change the script saying, "we made some changes to make the jokes more accessible".[38] THEM Anime Review's Carlos Ross commends the film's quality despite having a small budget, saying "The voice-acting is remarkable, the directing is solid, and music is quite competent. But the real kicker here is the animation quality, which actually equals (and sometimes exceeds) that of excellent television series like Vandread and Full Metal Panic. I can think of many big-money productions that can only hope to be half as good. And for how short this anime is, there is a remarkable amount of storyline; the plot is well-written and executed, and never gets a chance to be too drawn out. And Shinkai gives equal time to the slick action sequences and the well-handled, genuinely touching romance".[39] IGN's A.E. Sparrow criticizes the film by saying "While [the film] was visually one of the best pieces of eye-candy I have seen in a year or so, it's ultimately a voice track over a sequence of pretty pictures. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely beautiful, but it left me wanting more".[7] Mania's Chris Beveridge commends ADV Films's use of the video, saying "ADV managed to score very big with this release in terms of source materials by getting the actual original hard drive files that were used to create it. Quite simply, you cannot get any better than that. Working with that, the transfer here is simply gorgeous. Colors are amazingly lush and deep, saturated without bleeding. Cross coloration is non-existent and only a few very minor areas of aliasing occur. The only real “flaw” that I could see with this transfer is during some of the panning sequences up and down, there’s a slight stutter that’s simply inherent in the materials".[16] DVDs Worth Watching's Johanna Draper Carlson criticizes the art, saying "the character designs are familiar and uninspired, and the cross-cutting choppy".[40]

The animation is breathtaking. Shinkai's backgrounds have very few equals. The character designs look uninspired, but paired with the animator's beautifully realized worlds, the generic appearance fades into the magnificence of the scene. Most arresting is Shinkai's masterful use of lighting. Not only is it incredibly realistic, but it also manages to convey the mood of the characters in each scene, whether the distance of a sparkling star, the cold isolation of space, or the warm reminiscence of days long passed. While the characters are unoriginal, other items like Mikako's full-view cockpit and massive warships blend classic sci-fi with Shinkai's vision to create remarkable designs. It's unfortunate that such innovation is restrained to a 25-minute featurette, as it would have been thrilling to see Shinkai's artwork in a thirteen or 26-episode series.

— Jonathan Mays, Anime News Network[12]

DVD Verdict's Rob Lineberger commends the music, saying "the simple score infuses the animation with meaning. Solitary piano notes are sluggish, as though the pianist lacked the enthusiasm needed to pick up his fingers. When the action kicks in, it arrives with a sonic punch from 5.1 speakers. Rockets scream around you, birds move overhead, engines thrum quietly in your wake. The soundtrack does what it is supposed to do: transport you to another world".[41]

IGN's A.E. Sparrow commends the manga for "a healthy amount of additional storylines, characters and dialogue have been added to this manga" compared to the film. He further comments that manga artist "Mizu Sahara's artwork brings a bit of clarity to scenes that might have come off as muddled in the anime".[7] Anime News Network's Theron Martin commends the manga for having a "strong storytelling which carries good emotional appeal, fleshes out the original anime" but he criticizes it for "unnecessarily adds on to the ending". He further criticizes Sahara's artwork saying "character designs were not Shinkai's strong point, and Sahara's are only a slight improvement. Her take on Mikako makes her look a lot taller and at least a couple of years older, while Noboru looks more or less the same but with sharper lines. There's also inconsistency in the shading for the hair of the two leads, especially for Mikako, and some of the shading in other places obscures actions more than it should. Background art, where present, is decent but unremarkable, as are designs for side characters".[42] Manga Worth Reading's Johanna Draper Carlson commends the manga's art saying "the art is denser than in many manga, with toned backgrounds anchoring the drawn world. Faces are often in shadow, suggesting separation and loss."[43] Pop Culture Shock's Melinda Beasi commends Sahana's art saying, "the manga is absolutely beautiful. The art is nicely detailed and very expressive, and the panel layouts, including the placement and style of dialogue and narrative text, make the story visually interesting and easy to follow". She also comments that "Sahara also spends more time exploring both Mikako’s and Noboru’s feelings about Mikako’s appointment to the Lysithea, which is very revealing for both characters".[44] Mania.com's Sakura Eries criticizes the art, stating "there's not a lot of detail in the backgrounds, the mecha designs are dull, and the warp scenes, which were so spectacular in the anime, don't make much of an impact."[29]
