An anime short film watched because it's been a hectic day, and though I wanted to get through something more substantial, I quite simply ran out of time.
The plot of Voices of a Distant Star centers on some kind of futuristic war that's being fought and keeping two people who were once very close very far apart. They write each other letters, only to find the one who's at war is getting further and further away by the minute, which is, of course, quite sad.
But how sad? Not really sad enough for me to feel too devastated by Voices of a Distant Star, though I will admit it did a pretty good job at conveying its small story across a wide amount of space and time in just 25 minutes of runtime. It is also a great premise for a short story, given I think it would start to get tedious in a bad/non-thematically powerful way if one were to stretch a story like this into a feature-length runtime.
