Released in May 2011, Makoto Shinkai's Children Who Chase Lost Voices focuses on Asuna Watase, a cheerful girl who embarks on a journey to say farewell. Contrasting his previous films, it is far more spirited and lively, telling of the implications behind life and death, as well as happiness and despair, and the folly of blind determination. With a running time of nearly two hours, it was the longest of all of his works until 2022's Suzume. The film's original Japanese name is Hoshi o Ou Kodomo (in English, Children Who Chase Stars) and was previously known as Children Who Chase Lost Voices From Deep Below.Asuna is a middle school student. Her father passed away while she was still young, and her mother works long shifts as a nurse. Despite being an excellent student and proficient at household tasks, she is able to find time to visit her secret hiding spot at the top of a hill, and uses a unique crystal her father left behind to listen to radio stations. She encounters a strange melody which remains with her, close to her heart.Her life changes when she encounters a bear-like creature and is promptly saved by a Bishōnen named Shun, who wields the same kind of crystal Asuna uses. Shun reveals that neither he, nor the "bear", were from Earth; instead, they are residents of Agartha, the underworld where lush fields bloom and where majestic monsters roam. They spend a short period together before Shun passes on, leading Asuna to feelings of longing. It isn't long before Ryuuji Morisaki, a substitute teacher, discusses the legend of Izanagi and Izanami in class, piquing Asuna's interest. She visits him later that day and comes to learn of his intentions, eventually agreeing to accompany him on his journey to Agartha.Children Who Chase Lost Voices aired on Toonami on November 5th, 2016 at daylight saving time hours, making it the first anime movie since 2014 to air on Toonami, the first work by Shinkai to air on Toonami, and the third Sentai Filmworks title to air on the block. | |

Eat the Dog: When Asuna comments that Mimi and Morisaki seem to be getting along better, he comments that they could use Mimi as food and quickly makes a "Just Joking" Justification afterwards. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The mysterious crystals Asuna and Shun possess are referred to as a clavis, which were created as keys to Agartha. In addition to granting the users immense powers, they power the ability to grant wishes, including the power to bring the dead back into the world of the living. The melody Asuna hears at the beginning is revealed to be Shun's final song. It touches her heart and is explained to be a vessel of a being's memories. | |

The Conspiracy: What Arch Angel actually is beyond their ostensible goal of advancing humanity, we never find out in detail, so we do not know whether they qualify for Ancient or Government. What we do know, though, is that they are secretive, predate World War II at least given how the Agarthans fled their predations, have international membership and reach and can deploy armed men and attack helicopters in Japan, something which should be difficult to hide even in an obscure rural area. | |

Balancing Death's Books: Asuna and Morisaki travel to Agartha in order to revive someone they lost. To find out they can't, unless they're willing to sacrifice someone else's life. | |

Vestigial Empire | |
| Children Who Chase Lost Voices / int_81c72ad5 | comment |
Vestigial Empire: The Agarthan civilization was once one of the most advanced and powerful civilizations in the world. However, numerous wars with the surface world and the subsequent isolation from it have resulted in the Agarthan civilization declining to the point where the population is steadily dying out. Things for them are so bleak that the few Agarthans left have essentially accepted that their end is inevitable and they'll just keep carrying on until it comes. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Shun is blue, being calm and contemplative, and Shin is red, being hotheaded and reactive. They never actually share screentime together, but their dichotomy of personality reinforces that fact that for all their physical similarities, they're very different people. | |

Strong Family Resemblance: Shun and Shin are very similar physically, which throws Asuna when she first meets the latter. Enforced and subverted in the designs of Morisaki and Asuna, who could convincingly fit a father and his daughter, particularly in shots where their identical hairstyles are highlighted. They aren't related, but she does come to see him as something of a father figure. She even comments at it at one point, pointing out how much he resembles her late father, which draws an uncharacteristically emotional response from him. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Children Who Chase Lost Voices / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Perhaps naturally, as Makoto Shinkai is a known fan of Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky, there are a lot of references to the film, including plot, visuals and character designs. Specific examples are Morisaki, a Colonel Muska Expy, and the Clavis, which directly evokes Sheeta's crystal. The Ark of Life also has a similar design to a large airship seen in the prologue to Castle In The Sky. The movie also references another work by Miyazaki, this time Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, with the blind old woman who rules the Canaan, who is clearly meant to resemble Obaba from said film. Shin cutting his hair and saying goodbye to his sister before leaving his village (probably for good) directly references the opening of Princess Mononoke. Some creature designs also borrow aspects from the spirits and demons in Mononoke too. As a Shinkai work, several elements from his previous films make an appearance. Asuna's cat is named Mimi, in keeping with the name of the cats in Makoto Shinkai's earlier works, with Chobi's head design appearing on a fridge magnet and Agartha is the name of a planet in Voices of a Distant Star. | |

Anti-Villain | |

Anti-Villain: Morisaki uses some morally questionable actions to find Agartha, kills the gatekeeper for the hidden world in front of Asuna and Shin, attempts to kill Amaurot's village guards in defense when they come after him and Asuna which isn't necessary, and may come off as an obvious Manipulative Bastard, but Morisaki's selfish goal is strongly sympathetic because he wants to resurrect his deceased wife Lisa after he returned from a war to find her already dead. He even has the heart to form a strong bond with Asuna well and put her first before his life, though this doesn't stop him from using her as the vessel for his wife's spirit which Shin puts a stop to. That said, after this event, he's regretful of this decision and lets Asuna go home for her happiness and he chooses to remain in Agartha with Shin permanently. | |

Culture Chop Suey | |
| Children Who Chase Lost Voices / int_df60d405 | comment |
Culture Chop Suey: Agartha is an idea of hollow Earth first popularised by a French occultist, but it uses various Latin terms, Amarout comes from Utopia by the Englishman Sir Thomas More, "Quezt Coatl" from Aztec myth, and Shakuna Vimana from Hindu myth. | |

Tainted Veins: Morisaki develops these shortly before his right eye is taken from him as the price for Lisa's resurrection. They recede after bleeding to leave an ugly scar on his face. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Children Who Chase Lost Voices / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Shin, Shun's younger brother, arrives after Shun's death. Their similarities are such that Asuna initially mistakes him for Shun. Later discussed and deconstructed. Asuna notes that Shin and Shun aren't perfectly identical: Shin is shorter, younger, and has very slightly different colored hair and eyes. They're brothers, not copies. This helps Asuna come to terms with the fact that Shun isn't coming back. | |
