Boy meets girl, fall in love, went their separate ways, boy pines for girl, that's about it. Beautiful drawings of the sky of sunsets and starry nights. Not much by way of a story. Much prefer Miyazaki's cartoons.

Everytime..Absolutely stunningly beautiful, with a perfect music score, and an incredibly well thought narrative/story/tale.
It's an unstoppable watch. I personally don't even know how you could find a more beautiful, and beautifully made love story..Everything about this movie is right on point, and wistfully beautiful - the colors in the distant clouds, and the breeze in the grasses and sugar canes, the sounds of the birds and insects, the glittering reflections of lights in the rain and waters, and the pastel scenery.A great tale of love, friendship, companionship, and happiness - who's great strength, is held together and bonded by delicateness, and fragility - and by it's importance, meaningfulness, thoughtfulness, and sweetness.It can be a touch difficult to follow - specifically because it's narrative based, as opposed to character story based - you're listening to the characters read you a book basically, so you have to pay attention.It doesn't get any better than this - it's like the entirety of FF7 smushed into a beautiful tiny love story..If you need a beautiful place to go, and be, but can't find one - put this movie on, and that's where you'll be :)A reminder that love is more eternal than life, and with eternal love, life continues on in love..That ending though, after the song. You know that's not the end..

Expected a lot, turned out its just a story of real human persons with whole lot of disappointments..... yeah I know that's life. You are not getting any entertainment from it instead you might recall couple of your disappointments of your life while watching it. In the end the movie left you with nothing expect with sad empty feelings. There is nothing wrong with the movie. Maybe I am the wrong one by thinking movie is a great piece of art to entertain people.... After watching "Kimi no na wa.", I thought "5 cm/s" will also be a great masterpiece. But I was wrong. It left me with an emotional state which is hurtful & its killing me.

"5 Centimeters per Second" is an animated movie that tells the story of two childhood friends Takaki Tohno and Akari Shinohara,who are separated due to Akari's family transfer to another region of japan for his father's job.The movie is divided into three parts.Each telling the story at different points of their life.The story is pretty straight forward but manages to deliver it's message quite beautifully.The movie focuses on Takaki Tohno, how he deals with the separation from his childhood friend and lover and moves forward.The animation quality is extraordinary.The characters are well made.The background details and camera angles compliment the different settings that the movie has. Tenmon did a great job in delivering a great soundtrack that matches well with the pacing and mood of different scenes of the movie.To summarize the movie, it takes the story of growing up into something no less than a masterpiece with great characters,excellent storytelling,pleasing art and soothing music.
