Several months ago I was introduced to one of my anime producers, Makoto Shinkai. Talking with other people who follow anime, I've since realized that he is not really that well known. This is kind of a disappointment to me since I would love to talk about his films and OVAs to other people. So, I'm starting this thread in hopes of generating some discussion. His primary works are:

She and Her Cat
Voices of a Distant Star
The Place Promised in Our Early Days

You can get these at KAA: http://kaa.animeconnection.net/torrentpage/index.html
Tell me what you think!

what are those? animes? or films?

They are anime films.

what year? never heard of them....

She and Her Cat - 2000
Voices of a Distant Star - 2002
The Place Promised in Our Early Days - 2004

I think you'd probably like Voices of a Distant Star best.

so it's not that old anime...still new...

Still fresh...

Actually, the quality of his animation is really very high. Very sharp lines and excellent textures. Granted he did this with the assistance of a computer. It's not hard to find copies of his work online.

she and her cat is just 48MB sized, is it just only have 1 episode? and they have a nice anime cvollections, very nice site...those anime torrents are stilll active?

As far as I know, all of them are active. KAA has some really high quality versions of various series. All of them are what could be considered as OVAs. She and Her Cat is only 5 minutes long. Voices of a Distant Star is 30 minutes long. The Place Promised in Our Early Days (Beyond the Clouds) is a full length anime movie.
