Due to a recent onslaught of spammers, I have taken a few measures to contain comment spam. On the upside, comments are no longer moderated beforehand, so your comments will appear immediately after you post them. The downside is that my current trick involves cookies, so you probably can't post any comment at all if your browser rejects them (and if have cookies enabled but JavaScript disabled, you can still post comments, but you will have a captcha to fill in).

Sorry it took me such an incredibly long time to get around putting this together. Here are some notes about the translation in the previous posts, including a list of lines I most likely got wrong (please correct me if you can), as well as comments on Akari's letters, Takaki's train trip, the distance between them, the funny animals in Akari's book, and a few other things.

The translation notes I promised to put up will hopefully be ready shortly. Since there seems to be quite a few people here and there wondering when to expect the full movie to be subtitled, however, I thought I would first make a few (speculative, ill-informed) comments to that effect.
