I figured this was going to happen last week, but it was only a few days ago that crunchyroll announced that they were going to host Makoto Shinkai's three major works for streaming for free for the 24 hours that Global Shinkai Day will last (Friday (2/27) from 5 pm/PST to Saturday (2/28) 5 pm/PST). So I'm late that even Anime News Network had covered this yesterday, just been a very busy time between work, trying to prepare a few things for GSD, and other responsibilities.

There's a group made on crunchyroll for this event. Click here or on the banner below to go to it.

Props to Crunchyroll1 for bringing even more attention to an excellent director. What just started as an idea on a fan forum has spread out far beyond what I expected. Hope more of these events can be held.

Now hopefully I can get a Yasuhiro Yoshiura Day event going at some point in the future2...

1. 1. Even if they have a pretty dubious reputation, they are at least working with the Japanese companies for distribution now.
2. 2. He might need more significant work out before that happens, but Shinkai did get a "Collection" box set created when he only had 2 major works out!
