The streaming site will offer three Shinkai films for free (ad-supported for non-members, I'd wager) on the 28: Voices, Early Days, and...drumroll please...5 Centimeters per Second. There's been a lot of buzz about this last title due to the “Bandai licensed it, Bandai didn't license it” (if you missed me mentioning it, by the way, I was told unequivocally at NYCC that Bandai Entertainment does NOT have the license for it), and due to it generally being awesome. This isn't a DVD release, of course, but it IS an opportunity for those of you who haven't seen the film to catch it easily.
So there you have it! Free Shinkai on Global Shinkai Day. Sounds good to me.
