5 Centimeters per Second
| I dislike the fact that it doesnt have a happy ending but its definatley a great story with truly amazing artwork. |
| Imperfect endings make things more human. That is why it is a masterpiece. |
| Ok maybe i should have stated a bit more clearly how i feel about this anime and thats what il do now. fatalissacristia said: to Ryuji85 > Isn't this anime's point is that there is no "happy ending" in traditional sence? "5cm" is incredibly truthfull set of stories about relationships in general, and any relationships do end, any love does. The happy ending in this case is to move on, and this what characters do. The ending was the "right" ending for this anime if you take the rest of the whole story into account. That i prefer the "traditional happy endings" is just my personal taste and it doenst change the fact that i really enjoyed watching this show. I definatley feel the same way about this anime as the OP does. Its a emotional story that could have been taken right out of real life combined with outstanding artwork. |

| I feel that way about all of Shinkai's work. I can't wait to see his next project. |
| I agree, the ending couldn't have been better, or else it wouldn't have been a masterpiece. I think it's made to leave a scar on everyone's heart and it's obviously the kind of love story nobody thinks about making a story out of it. Gawd I'm having shivers just to think about it. I wouldn't have change anything from it! Seen it 4 times yet |

| I love this movie. It's a true work of art. Very touching. And about it not having a happy ending, it's funny, I found it through a blog matsuri... let me find the blog entry and I'll link you. http://supremenothing.blogspot.com/2009/07/strong-reoccurring-theme-that-i.html |
| Motherfucking Akari. She should have just waited for Takaki if she really loved him. I guess the only person who waited was Takaki. |
| Watched this movie a while back in fact it was last year... My favourite anime movie for sure... I don't see how takaki didnt remember akari... |
| あらあら。。。＾＾ |
| The ending was not clear..T_T |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I thought he was depressed because he couldn't forget Akari... hum. |
| Late reply But like it just shows that they both have moved on from their childhood romance... |
| あらあら。。。＾＾ |
| Good for you. I liked that anime as well. The tragic (sort of) ending made it great. |
| aww. i hate tragic endings=[ |

| amg noooo h8 how they dint recognize each other. |
 |
| Well i really thought they would be tgt in the end. Was trying to convince myself that ring on Akari isnt her engagement ring too.. |
| The bittersweet ending was to be expected. It's what makes this anime so memorable. |
| I just wished it had a good ending.......I wanna cry...! |
     |
| Too me it was a happy ending.......although I don't understand why this would make so many people cry/sad. If anything it was interesting to see what would happen to the too when they became adults. |
 |
| Very realistic. One of the few romance anime I've seen that diverts from the "the-main-couple-gets-together-and-lives-happily-after-ever"-idea. Real life just isn't like that. I mean how many people find the love of their life at age thirteen and get married and grow old with that very person? It may work out in a few cases, but most of the time, it doesn't. I don't have anything against that kind of cheesy romance anime really. I fact I like them. It's always nice to dream. This gave a more realistic image of love, and that made it depressing. Reality just is depressing, after all. |
 |
| That's funny that "Wow" is the post title since that is exactly the word i thought of after finishing this movie. The animation was beautiful and the characters were so believable. Really great and worth a watch for sure. |
| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| The ending is happy. If you think otherwise I don't think you got it. Takaki smiles as he walks away from the railroad. It's the final part of the whole distance theme. First we have physical distance, then emotional, then complete and total separation (acceptance). Each chapter marks another inevitable step away from each, like cherry blossoms falling from a tree, their growing apart is out of their control. However, what's important is to cherish the memories and keep pressing forward (this is where the space exploration theme comes in, to continue on your path, unswerving, with chance meetings happening as they do). Takaki is happy because he's finally accepted his situation, and can now move forward like the cosmonaut. The really impressive thing about this movie is that each time I watch it I'm able to appreciate something new that I've missed before, and my appreciation for the movie as a whole only increases. |
| seriously |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I only rewatch this when I feel sad.. I hope he make an alternative ending for this one.. ftw |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
