    Comment: Very Good: A well-cared-for video or DVD that has been listened to, but remains in great condition. The film is complete, without interruption, and does not skip. The jewel case may show limited signs of wear, as may the liner notes.

    When a mysterious alien force begins their annihilation of the human race, a young pilot feels called to join the resistance. But the danger of an interstellar battle is not Mikako's greatest concern. For she has left behind the one young man she loves. And as Mikako flies further into deep space, her only way to connect with Noboru is by cell-phone text messages. While Mikako risks her life to save mankind, Noboru waits. At first days, then months, then years for each new message that will let him know whether Mikako is still alive. And while she barely grows older in the timelessness of space, Noboru ages. How can the love of two young people, torn apart by war, survive? To what distance would you go...for your one, true love?

     Short, but oh so very sweet

    Despite the intriguing set-up and attractive visuals, I was always put off by this title on acount of the 30 minute length. I struggled to imagine how something so short could justify its price-tag, let alone the numerous awards hurled its way.

    However, having just had the opportunity to see it, I can now see why (at least as far as the awards are concerned). The overall story is epic, the style and animation are perfect - ranging from simple and traditional hand-drawn work to advanced and impressive CG work depending on what best suits a particular scene - the action is of the highest quality and the central plot is beautiful and heart rending.

    As for the length; it is as short as it is because of the way the story is told. Perhaps more time could have been spent telling the background of the war that forms the setting, but then there's the risk of detracting from the central story and making the whole thing less than it is.

    Worth the price or not, Voices of a Distant Star is most definitely a must see.
