Synopsis:

Platonic Chain consists of short 6 minute episodes completely done with computer graphics. The series explores different facets of human life/interaction through an interesting idea: the presence of a computer program that knows of your most embarassing moments, your likes and dislikes, your ideal diet plan, the routes you take to get places, and more!

Voices of a Distant Star

Voices of a Distant Star main image

Nagamine is a young high school student who lives a fairly typical teenage life: hanging out with friends, attending class, and falling in love with a wonderful boy. But when she enlists in the galactic army, who is desperate for candidates to fight an alien war, she finds herself drifting farther away from her first love, Noboru. In the depths of space, where a simple email takes eight years to be delivered, will their love truly flourish, or simply fade away?

Along with both featuring rather experimental use of 3D rendering in animation, Platonic Chain and Hoshi no Koe also are largely concerned with the modern world, and how relationships work with distance communication. Though rather different in scope, the mobile phone ties these two animes together.

Completely different plot-wise, but both contain 100% CGI graphics. Very innovative designs (and somewhat unrealistic character appearance) in both.

Wonderful Days

Alt titles: Sky Blue

Wonderful Days main image

Surrounded by water and a world of pollution, oppression, and never-ending rain, the city of ECOBAN feeds off of the surrounding pollutants to sustain life on this seemingly last continent on earth. Shua, a man thrown out of the city, misses the blue sky and now fights to cast down light on this cloud covered island, while uncovering figures from his past.

Wonderful Days is definitely a step above Platonic Chain in the graphics department, but both have a great deal of CGI (Platonic Chain being 100% CGI!). Both are a good watch if you like innovative graphics.

Platonic Chain and MBGM are both 100% CGI, and have similar character appearances. Granted, MBGM has a bit more of a plot and is not as shallow as Platonic Chain, but I did enjoy both and think that the animation style has a very similar feel.

Nana

Nana main image

Nana Komatsu is on her way to Tokyo; now she can finally be with her boyfriend after a year of dating long-distance! On the train there, Nana Komatsu meets Nana Osaki – a girl who shares her name but seems to be everything Nana Komatsu is not; cool, street-wise, and a punk rocker. The two hit it off and spend the entire journey getting to know each other, but when they get to Tokyo, circumstance separates them seemingly forever. However, fate is not finished with these two. Whilst hunting for a place to live the two Nanas again cross paths. They decide to share a flat and become best friends in no time. Nana K. must learn to be independent and mature, while Nana O. works on becoming famous with her band; but together, they will learn about love and loss, and the growth that comes with it.

Life never runs smoothly when you're in your mid teens and living in a city. There are boys to consider, your future and friends who have issues of their own. Although Platonic Chain and Nana are dissimilar on the surface, the underlying story of young naive girls moving in the wide world is what underpins them both.

If you enjoy a good romantic drama, I think you will enjoy both of these shows.
