like another world

I really like the second episode "Astronaut".

When I just watched it, I felt that the content and the name were super incompatible. Although there is a wonderful different world scene in Guishu's dream, there are rockets soaring through the blue sky and a long white "tail" behind, but it is just to tell the story of Guishu from the perspective of others. He, the very special boy in Sumida's eyes, the boy from Tokyo who is called "Tono-kun", whose eyes are always floating in the distance and unpredictable.

In Chengtian's eyes, he is gentle. Gentle enough to give girls the illusion of love. Sweet and bitter expectations, accompanied by the warm sunshine of the evening, always drag the shadows long. Confession may be the most terrifying thing, I don't know how to speak, so I can only walk on the green field silently, one after the other, only the wind blows across the field.

Sumida cried.
Probably that kind of suffocating feeling. His tenderness and calmness, on the contrary, seemed infinite life and alienation, out of reach.

When the rocket took off and passed through the very clear blue sky, huge white flowers bloomed, both of them were stunned. It's flying high and high, going through the atmosphere to a distant world.

Desperately, blindly pursuing the sky to
launch such a huge metal block
to find something in the distance that cannot be perceived is

like Tono-kun's eyes, always looking at something very, very far away from Sumita.

It seems to be starting to understand.
That inappropriate name.

For the hearts of two diaphragms, the distance is so far. Suddenly, I felt that I could understand Cheng Tian's feelings very well. He walks beside you with a gentle smile, as if he can reach out and touch it, but his eyes stop far behind you, his heart is a world that is forever closed to you; you feel the same sunshine , breathing the same taste of summer, however, they can not know each other's hearts.

So, he is like an astronaut who is eager to fly to space, to an unknown place, like another world, farther and farther away from you...

But the girl said:
Even so, I...I love Tono-kun, whether it is tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or forever...I just think about Tono-kun and cry all the time and fall asleep...

But, a One's rejection of another is as solid and indestructible as one's attachment to another.

Therefore, the story did not stop at that quiet empty scene, and some very cruel things happened behind it.

In the third episode, your tree accepts a girl, and they dated for three years. However, the girl even sent a message to tell Guishu, "I have always liked you". And Guishu, he said to himself, we must have sent each other more than 1,000 emails, but our hearts haven't even come close to a centimeter...

It's cruel.
At that moment, I hated Takaki very much, and I hated Makoto Shinkai's story (this pervert always writes tormenting stories).

Loving such a strange thing is not a reward for hard work.

To Chengtian, Guishu was like another world, and between them was the infinite sky.

At the end, Takaki and Akari passed by, but the moment they turned around, the train passed by.

It turned out that many distances could not be crossed.
Xin Haicheng is just showing this cruel beauty.

  • Akari ShinoharaTakaki Toono: *Akari and Takaki kiss for the first time*

    Takaki Toono: And right then it felt like I finally understood where everything was, eternity, the heart , the soul. It was like I was sharing every experience I'd ever had in my past 13 years. And then, the next moment, I became unbearably sad. I didn't know what to do with these feeling. Her warmth, her soul. How was I supposed to treat them? That, I did not know. Then right then, I clearly understood that we would never be together. Our lives not yet fully realized, the vast expanse of time. They lay before us and there was nothing we could do. But then, all my worries, all my doubt, started melting away. All that was left were Akari's soft lips on mine.

  • Takaki Toono: On that day... the day she called... Akari must've been so much more jittery and upset than me, yet I couldn't find the words to console her. I felt so ashamed of myself.
