Kimi no Koe wo Todoketai

Kimikoe: that's in my PTW with a very interesting title that somehow combined three titles; Kimi no [na Wa] no Koe [no Katachi] wo Todoketai [Kimi no Suizou wo Tabenai].

And I suspect that that’s pretty much what it actually was. It was made by Madhouse rather than an amateur anime club, but just from the feel of it, I’d be willing to bet that they took a few of their newer employees and maybe a few older employees who had never quite made it and said, “Here - here’s a bit of a budget - you go do this and let us know when it’s done.” Like the management didn’t really care one way or another and they were just sort of going through the motions to put out a slice-of-life drama, so the handful of employees were pretty much on their own with their pittance of a budget, and did the best they could with it, which was sort of admirable, but only sort of.

I liked it all in all, but it could easily have been much better.

From what I read about the movie, Kimikoe walked so Yorimoi (A Place Further Than The Universe) could run. If you've watched the latter, that's essentially the finished product. The Windows 7 to the Windows Vista, if you will.

A Place Further Than The Universe is actually pretty much at the top of my current "I know it's good so I'm in no hurry to actually watch it" TBW.

So the timing couldn't be better, I guess.

I can already see some similarities in the character designs.

And in case I wasn't clear, I would recommend Kimikoe, just so long as you keep your expectations in check. There's nothing really wrong with it and some great moments, and the setting is very good. It just feels a bit... underdone.

The first thought I had when I first learned of Kimikoe was why does its MC look like Shirase? 😆
