I was split between doing a [WT!] for Rahxephon, 5 Centimeters Per Second and this but I decided to continue on moving through Makoto Shinkai catalogue since this was one of the earlier movies I watched before I went full anime fan. I also took the liberty of adding pictures because no one wants to read a giant wall of text and this film is certainly deserves to be seen as it is one of the more visually striking work of anime.
Introduction
Following Makoto Shinkai's first 30min OVA of Voices of a Distant Star in 2002, a momentous feat considering he made everything by himself, he was hired onto to CoMix Wave Inc. to direct an anime movie with full financial and production staff.
Plot Summary
Taking place in an alternate timeline where Japan in 1974, is divided up by the 'Union' and the United States of America along the Tsugaru Strait, located between the Northern Islands of Hokkaido and Southern Island of Honshu. In the post-war years, an obscenely tall white tower is constructed on the southern end of Hokkaido but its true function is shrouded in mystery and speculation. The year is now 1996, and three middle-school students come together over the course of a summer to build an aircraft that will fly them over the strait and visit the ominous tower. However, the sole girl of the trio, Sayuri Sawatari, suddenly becomes mysteriously ill with sleeping sickness and the entire project is abandoned with the two boys drifting off onto their own life paths. Three years later, on the verge of an armed conflict between the Union and the United States over Japan, they discover Sayuri's unconsciousness is somehow linked with secrets of the tower and push forth to fulfill that promise they made to each other.
Spectacular Artwork
If Voices of a Distant Star is what a single Makoto Shinkai could do, The Place Promised in Our Early Days is exactly what happens when he get a full production team to work underneath him. While his previous work was masterpiece of a solo effort, there were some very noticeable weaknesses. Gone are the horrid character designs and replaced by conventional-looking ones but as welcome as those improvements are, they are not one of the reasons for viewing the show. As with any Makoto Shinkai work, the main trademark of his work is the absolutely gorgeous looking background art. In addition to putting hyper-realistic details into the backdrops, enhanced lighting to create some truly stunning moments that is worthy of becoming wallpapers for desktops and paintings to hang on the wall. Of course, his later works would completely superseded this but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that The Place Promised in Our Early Days is probably one of the best looking anime films to come out in the early 2000s .
Alternative History and Advanced Science that is Intermixed with Themes of Separation, Distance and Love
Although The Place Promised in Our Early Days has all the makings of a giant action thriller complete with global powers duking it out on the world stage, a mystifying overshadowing tower, and enough physics to make your head fall into a coma, its focus is far less grandiose. Rather than having endless exposition about the mechanics that drives the movie or fill it with action sequences, the film remains grounded it depicting the various relationship between characters, leaving its more technical aspects in the background. Whether it is the divide between Hokkaido and Japan, the longing to reunite with a spouse on the other side of the Tsugaru Strait or the bitter disconnection between dreams and reality, Makoto Shinkai plays to his strength of having his work relate to the struggles of life despite the sci-fi elements. I found the characters to be largely likable, their interactions to be believable and evoked strong feelings and emotions by having friends slowly drifted apart and enduring a bittersweet journey to mend that distance.

Sub or Dub?
As this movie does take places in modern-day Japan and is made by a Japanese staff, logic would dictate that Place Promised in Our Early Days should be watched in sub rather than having English voice actors ruin everything. However, this is one of my special cases where I do prefer the English voiceover over the original Japanese track. I rather liked the English voices that are behind the main characters of Hiroki and Takuya as they are able to have reach that sober tone when reminiscing about their experiences and fit into their respective roles very well. That same opinion goes for the adult characters as well especially when portraying the gruff Okabe and the well-educated and scientific Professor Tomizawa, who deals with some very high-level physics like quantum mechanics and parallel universes. This is merely my personal opinion, but do give both audio options a try before making up your mind. In either case, you really can't go wrong with the sub or dub.
TL;DR:
Mega White Tower. Pretty Colors.
9/10. It was ok.
