Saying goodbye is hard.
The papercut theatre style of animating in Tabi Machi may be in wild contract to the richly detailed and almost sensual art and animation of 5cm Per Second, but both are bittersweet stories about goodbyes. Much like real partings there is little closure in either series, with only vaguely defined beginnings, middles, and ends. Both can come across as a little over-the-top, a little pretentious, and a little forced at times, but all that applies to saying goodbye in real life too I guess.
