The story of "The Other Side of the Cloud, the Promised Place" is very simple. In Japan, which is divided between the north and the south, the boy, in order to wake up the girl, flies to the Promised Tower on the other side of the border three years later to recover the lost dream of youth... "You Do you want to save Yugari, or save the world?!" Although the propaganda lines are very romantic, the style always reminds me of "The Last Weapon and Girl", maybe I have seen too many unfulfilled promises, "Beyond the Clouds, the Promise Earth" did not give me much resonance and emotion.

I still admire Makoto Shinkai. Animated films have always been the product of collective creation, and the work involved is too huge. The huge amount of investment and time, the need for a lot of labor, and the fine division of labor can often make most of the fanatics who have the delusion of creating an animation blockbuster independently return to normal people's thinking. Obviously, Xin Haicheng is not such a person. Original script supervision, storyboard photography, CG production is all done by one person... Huge strength... In this all-tech industry, one person can master so many software and painting skills at the same time in his 30s

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [about Sayuri] She always said she felt like she was losing something. At the time... I was in middle school, and couldn't understand what she meant. But... those words had a strange effect on me.

  • Hiroki Fujisawa: [Narrating] At the time, we were drawn by two things: One was our classmate, Sawatari Sayuri... The other was the giant tower across the Tsugaru Strait. I was always looking up at that tower, I felt that something very precious waited there, I yearned to go there... One day... One day... I will go there.
