"I'm always
searching, for your figure to appear somewhere. On the opposite
platform, in the windows along the lane, Even though I know you couldn't
be at such a place. If my wish were to come true, I would be at your
side right away,There would be nothing I couldn't do. I would put
everything on the line and hold you tight"

Thoughts & Expressions
5 cm per Second is a movie that takes a
story of growing up and makes it into something that cannot be described
as anything less than a masterpiece, with astounding themes,
storytelling, art and sound. If someone told me I could watch one movie
before I died, I'd undoubtedly choose this one”

Story : 95
Story : 95
The movie tells of a love that's slowly
torn apart because the lovers move further away, both in heart and home.
It's underlying themes are beautifully incorporated into the story;
about growing up, letting go of an
unreachable past, and taking control of one's own life. Though they're
not necessarily very obvious throughout the movie, the final scene
symbolizes these themes, and what the main characters decided on in the
end.

“A
mighty pain to love it is, And 'tis a pain that pain to miss; But of
all pains, The greatest pain It is to love, but love in vain.”

Characters : 90
Although we don't get an in-depth look
into the lives of each character, they all come across as relatable.
Takaki and Akari's relationship never comes off as saccharine like most
romances in anime, it comes off as human.
You see couples like them just walking in the park. And not only is their relationship realistic, but also their feelings. Anybody who has been in love can surely empathize with their feelings.

Anyone who knows who Makoto Shinkai is
will know that he has a reputation of creating the most beautiful
animations in his films and OVA. In 5 Centimeters Per Second, once again
Makoto Shinkai creates set pieces and scenes that are immaculate and
can even be considered works of art. Attention to detail was indeed
present as even simple things like a person's shadow was amazingly well
crafted. For an anime that released seven years ago, it still competes
with anime titles released even today.

| "Everything is detailed to the very
minute and the scenes created cast the perfect mood for the viewers.
Nothing seems out of place or artificial. The bitter sweetness of this
anime comes across as realistic as can be because of the superb
animation quality." (MyAnimeList) |

This movie really has to be your thing. I
know a lot of people who watched this, but weren't impressed because
they aren't that much of a slice of life fan. Personally I enjoyed
watching this movie a lot.
As long as you like heartbreaking slice of life romance anime, with a calm and yet sad atmosphere, you would enjoy watching this anime just as much as I did.
