5 Centimeters per Second
| I don't have to like something to recongnize it as a great price of work. At the same time, just because I like something doesn't make it great. Most people fail to realise this simple truth. Like it or don't, rating it as anything other than a masterpice is a crime. |

| Like other people, the ending was dissatisfying for me initially and left a bad taste in my mouth. I was expecting a happy story and ended up disappointed completely. However coming to this thread, I can now empathize why some people regard it very well. It is a great movie for what its meant to show. Which reminds me, I really love how it looks. |
| Everyone has their own take on this anime. Some like it for the realism while others hate it. Some do not feel the desolation from this because they didn't experience anything similar to it or is simply unaffected regardless. Perhaps, once you go through something similar in life will you understand. Then again, you may not. It depends from person to person. I don't understand why people can't take a different opinion from their own. Clearly, if you dislike this anime, there will always be others. It's not as if everyone will love or hate this anime. At the very least I appreciate the fact that the anime tried to evoke feelings from a more realistic standpoint. I'm glad that, for once, an anime took a more believable route. I understand that people watch anime to get away from real life but sometimes, it's real life that needs to be reflected upon and not be mindlessly walked through. Anyways, that's the end of my rant. :) |

| Personally, I didn't really care for this film myself. I appreciate the realism in that the two don't end up together (I love bittersweet endings) and obviously the art is phenomenal, but the story just didn't make me feel much of anything. To be frank, I don't exactly pity the protagonist. He seems like a nice enough guy and everything, but to throw your entire life away over one girl who you haven't even seen in years, one girl who may have changed completely from the person you once knew, and to stay completely grounded in the past is just too much. It's like he's fascinated with the idea of a person rather than the person itself, which is frustrating beyond belief. Also, that ending music video-like sequence... That's just my take on things though. I can understand why some would enjoy it, but it really wasn't for me. |
| I'm seeing too much misinterpretation of the movie in this thread. Massive spoilers ahead in this discussion but I'm assuming that if you're in this thread, you've watched the movie. 5cm/sec isn't a movie that's is supposed to invoke overriding sadness or pity in the viewer through the use of romantic realism. Nor is it a commentary on the hopelessness and futility of long-distance relationships. 5cm/second is a movie about hope. There's a reason why Makoto Shinkai wrote in that last scene at the end of "One More Time, One More Chance." That was the entire point of the movie. Yes, the first two scenes are used by Shinkai to establish the characters and paint an overarching feeling of hopelessness that gradually grows throughout the movie. By the third scene, when the viewer sees that Takaki has become an alcoholic who can't keep a woman and Akari has, through the twists and turns of life, found another man to marry. The viewer is stricken by the culmination of the feelings of despair and sorrow that were building throughout the first two scenes. This is accentuated by the constant views of lonely (well-drawn) landscapes and even the scene with the rocket. However, thinking that the movie ends on that kind of note is a huge misconception. The ending scenes roll and we hear "One More Time, One More Chance." Whether a viewer believed the movie was sad or not by this point, it was evident that the ending would not be happy per se in the way most dramas and romances have happy endings. However, as the ending song comes to a close, we see that Takaki's view of Akari is blocked by the two trains that pass over the tracks. He waits there until both trains pass and sees that the woman (who he thinks might look like Akari, but who we know is her) is no longer there. Why? Because Akari has already moved on in love and life. We see this at the very end of the movie where she gets a new love. So at this point, from what I've gathered from the thread, most people are thinking, "Wow, the main character is so hopeless. He could just run down the street past the railroad tracks and probably meet Akari again and make his life better. This anime is so melancholic. Such a sad message." And that would be true, except Takaki smiles and walks the other damn direction. The end message wasn't one of despair and sorrow at all. Instead of "People will eventually drift apart from each other gradually in life, so go and cry over it," it was "People will eventually drift apart from each other gradually in life, but if you can learn to move on and find happiness, no matter how much sorrow or self-pity you build up, you can still live your life fully." It's a happy ending. Now, I'm not writing this to try to convince anyone that this movie is the best thing that's ever happend "omg so deep gr8 movie guyz." It doesn't matter whether or not anyone finds personal enjoyment in the movie. However, it does matter if your judgement of the movie is based off of the false misconception that it's a sad movie. 5cm/sec may invoke sadness, and indeed Shinkai wrote the entire 2nd act to be a sadness invoker, but the note that the movie ends on is one of definitive hope. Hopefully this post was enlightening and will allow you to critically judge 5cm/sec in a more comprehensive way. TL;DR: WHETHER OR NOT YOU ENJOY WHAT YOU WATCH, THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THAT YOU WATCH CRITICALLY BEFORE YOU MAKE JUDGEMENTS ON THEM |

Erenle said: Takaki smiles and walks the other damn direction. The end message wasn't one of despair and sorrow at all. I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here, but did you ever consider the fact that it could have been a sad smile? Smiles do not necessarily mean happiness. He could have been reflecting on his life and thinking "Wow, I've been quite the fool haven't I? And I know I'll continue to act foolishly too." I'm not saying your interpretation is wrong, but I also think that you should believe in the possibility of other interpretations as well. Just because someone didn't come to the same conclusion as you doesn't mean that they didn't reflect on the film critically. There's no doubt about it that this film is open-ended, precisely why a thread like this exists. Not all viewers are going to come to the same conclusions so it's important to realize that each viewer is going to interpret the film in their own way, which may not match with your own interpretation. |

Oh, of course, there is no wrong interpretation of anything, especially with the broad topic of this movie's true meaning. I was referring to Shinkai's director's notes where he states that the realism in the movie was going to be used to show lively beauty instead of romantic fantasy. That for me is the largest indicator that the scene at the end was meant to be a happy, and not a sorrowful one. |

Most people fail to realise this simple truth. Like it or don't, rating it as anything other than a masterpice is a crime. Not everybody rates anime like you do. I personally rate based on my personal enjoyment from an anime. All fine and dandy, but that kinda make the rating uselsss. I mean, why do ratings exist? Why do people look at them? To try toget an objective feel for a shows worth naturally. Do you really think anyone cares about mine or yours subjective preferences? Do they even know what they are? Obviously no, so that makes the ratings in that contex worthless. Hell, I still struggle with my list because I still think my personal prejudices influenced my rating too much (for example: Saint Seiya - I love that show but it has so many flaws it's friggin sad and I think I may have rated it too much). I try to hate things I love and switch mindsets to a get a more...balanced rating. 5 Centimeters Per Second is a well-done movie and I acknowledge that, but I didn't enjoy it a whole lot because of its depressing, reminding-of-cruel-life-and-harsh-reality content. That was the whole point. It makes as much sense as hating a comedy because it's has jokes in it. Hence, the anime I did enjoy more, ones that managed to be an actual escapism from said reality, get more points for me. Which only has value if one values escapism over everything else. But why should escapism be any more important than realism? Or vice-versa? Shouldn't they be equally valubale and important for a media format? |
| You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape! Chuck Norris was wrong once - He thought HE made a mistake! |
| I understand that his show tries to show love as it really is and I appreciate that. The art is some of the best I've seen, and I've enjoyed other works by the same director. However this one just didn't do it for me. I liked elements of it, but I was bored to near death during the majority of it. I love harsh realities and slower pacing, but this just lacked a certain something in the storytelling. Can't quite put my finger on it. It might come down to a simple matter of taste/preference. |

| i think it was pretty unrealistic and thats why alot of people could not get it, and it was way to short for the story it told especially cause the last episode only had like 5 minutes of plot. The whole middle had everyone saying you fucking moron what r u doing. Seriously he does not talk to her anymore but does not let go of her? if he still loved her o idk why dont u just text her? and if he did give up contacting her than that usually means your over them and go for the other girl crying right in front of you. and the director just fucked up the last episode like if he really did see her at the train tracks why didnt he just say something? and it was just not clear who texted him at the end and who that office girl was and why would he quite his job what the fuck did that have to do with getting over akari |
| Yes, thank you! I get that they wanted an aspect of realism, but give me a damn break, there was hardly any point to the third part of the movie. They didn't show anything of much importance aside from the ending. I would've rather they just told me flat out within a few minutes that it wasn't the cliche ending, rather than wasting 10 more minutes of my life to play a music video they could have easily done in the first part of the movie. |

Implosion said: Think back to when you guys were in primary school. I'm sure you had a best friend there, or a group of friends. Do you still keep in contact with them if they went to a different high school? There might have been some contact, but its nothing like the good old days. You've both grown up; the paths you've taken diverged at primary school and the varying influences of life changed the two/ group of you/yours. Eventually you can't relate to each other thanks to the different lives you lead. Also, you cannot forget that when they were broken apart, they were children that hadn't even hit puberty. Puberty, as you should know, is a period of vast change. Impressionable and prone to extremely rapid change, it's very difficult to remain friends with people you DON'T constantly hang around and change with. I agree. Unfortunately, I had this experience before, once when I moved to a different primary school and another time when my friends and I went to different high schools. For people who are extremely introverted and self-conscious like me, it's hard to actually try and stay friends with people that live far from you. Not even that, but I couldn't even keep in touch with my best friends after junior high even though we lived in the same city, just went to different high schools. I don't blame Takaki for his inability to act, and I don't blame people for hating him either. I would have also hated him had I not been able to connect with his personality. edwd2 said: This thread makes me sad. It explains why genres like slice of life aren't appreciated nowadays. I know right :( Some people here said it's too realistic that's why they dislike it, but there's no hard fast rule that says anime can't be realistic.

Wow you've opened my eyes to a different interpretation of the movie :) I think your way of thinking makes sense, especially the part about the ending song. I was probably crying too hard to have really paid attention to the lyrics and title of the song. That song definitely has a ring of hope to it rather than just the sadness and the loneliness portrayed throughout the 3 episodes. |
| Jump from a cliff like Bagon while using headbutt on a rock. 5cm is a great anime. You just can't handle something you can relate to real life. You got FT on your top list. FUU |

| After having recently seen The Place Promised in Our Early Days, I have to say I am disappointed by this one. Personally, I did not feel for any of the characters. There was a lack of emotion, most likely due to how the first relationship was handled to shallowly. If we had seen the characters earlier, just interacting, and their strong sense of wanting to meet each other, it would've been much better. Since I didn't feel anything for what happened, even if I see what it was trying to convey, the whole movie goes to waste. It was okay, definitely, but not something I would label good. A nice movie, but nothing I will remember. Sadly. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| All I see is Takaki hate. If you don't understand the movie, read the book! |
 Are you the bloody applause monkey? Keep your sh*t comments to yourself or go troll on 4chan. |
| When have happy endings became cliche and depress/sad/bittersweet endings the only thing that make it real or show realism? There are a lot of people who go through long distance relationships in many different ways even just by letter contact. Because these two drifted doesn't make it anymore real than those who might actually have reunited in their life and lived happily together. And there are real cases of that. That mini rant aside. I didn't care for this anime. Not because of how it ended, but I just didn't feel for the characters at all and I had my fair share of dramas and bittersweet endings. I understand what the movie was conveying, but in the end it was just...not good. It didn't leave any sort of impact at all. I know friends who went through a similar thing and I felt for them more than these characters. Love the art and animation though about the only thing I did enjoy from it. |
| I didn't dislike it but i thought it would be better. Still an 8/10 in my opinion. |
 |
| I wouldn't say I disliked it, but at the end I just felt like giving both lead characters a strong slap in the face. It just felt unrealistic since there was no actual reason for them to drift apart from each other, so I'm left with a feeling that they either didn't give a bleep in the first place or were just complete idiots. Why was he texting her, but never seemed to call? It's as if he wanted to distance himself from her on purpose. And there's ALWAYS enough time to visit. Don't give me some gibberish about being busy or having to study or whatever, that's just a bunch of silly excuses. So no, the movie is not realistic. Based on the actions of the male lead, he didn't care a bit, but he was portrayed as though he did. His character is a contradiction. |
| If you generalize, you're wrong. |
GreatS said: I just hated the way the characters acted and wondered how in the world anybody could like this... so is there anybody out there who had the same impression? yes, the problem is it they overplayed the char./actions (like zero ?)forcefully trying to get as much drama and ram it down ya th***t while clamming your nose shut! to maxmise this and get under everybody's skin ,they intentionally striped away (takaki most) all possible1001 actions/choice's and ways that could have been taken positive or negative,it doesn't matter what kind of person he is ,it only makes is choice and ACTIONS differ from an other set of mind ! believe me I know,but ......everything was glasswalled en and only have shells that have been mute ON. Getting some hentai universe vibes here...I mean...... and I had my fair share of dramas and bittersweet endings. I understand what the movie was conveying, but in the end it was just..felt like giving both lead characters a strong slap in the face. It just felt unrealistic since there was no actual reason for them to drift apart from each other iNinjaMan said : I found it especially screwed up how he allowed distance to break their bond. If they stayed in contact, they coulda potentially had a future after college. Instead he throws his life away. He wants to see her again but does nothing about it.In fact, I barely felt any kind of emotion while watching this except maybe a bit of sadness at how things turned out. I was like tak. even the same timeline only with lots and lots of more drama,at least up in to my adultness parents divorce, abandoment ,homeless ,far away and split from love without the options of adress mobile or internet you name it ...it almost makes you really shut down en mute and do absolutly nothing !!! almost that is ... because "love is the drug that (despite)own characther should eventually drives en feuls you to do things even against your will in puberty/hormoons wil/can only make desires stronger so for me this flow of the show is defect and would not happen !and thats the problem nothing does happen ? every option there is how few or many there are with whatever type or moron that is things must happen even in anime cause and effect eventualtydynamics....and the Biggest ...LOVE ..ofcourse. sepparation with ya partner/love only empowers you more en lets you surpass your one shortcommings so solid plot =denied characters are stripped of any choice or action that would be logic ....NOTHING happens (must ..must keep high drama) leading on 2 something that was beforehand already a diff. road plotted that can't chance ! hence nothing happens ...adding the hate and unbelieve and setting up for tears and slaughter it's going to be DRAMA for you be "trolled" ...anyways for me I can relate so I can say it is flawed in the believe it would really play out this way in how they interact there isn't! they played the Hentai card "ÿou can cry and look but can't do shit" and hope you get even more pissed like a watching a NTR ! (blahg) so I didn' feel this was a masterpiece and shitty on that part BUT I must be neutral ...so feelings and personal prev.aside I still must rate it at least a 8 it deserves for al the exellent things this show does have .To be fair it is a drama and it deliverd( altough rigged )even more drama so goal is met and besides open end ....so you never know :) him smile can for instants also mean hey made his resolve to get her back and be by her side and live together for this is afterall a anime ,I have seen /read bucketloads of weird and immposs. twists and things happen in anime so this would/could be a p of cake for it to happen I gs I like a happy end (had enough drama in life and anime) besides the drama is done and deliverd so new arc can begin and get filled in.....and I think happy ends in anime are on the underdog side and not on the favor. side.. real happy endsin anime I still can count on my hands so....btw srry for my english its late and I said fricking much ...bear it please :)) mmm still got a shitload of manga and anime I have to update and add...pffff anyways chillex and peace out |

| I personally think it's the best romance anime ever made. |
 |
| i agree that this is a great anime that shows you how real life works... but still, i know this sounds pathetic, the reason i watch animes sometimes is because i want to make my life a little bit happier and escape "the cruel world" like one of earlier post said even just for awhile, i know that i shouldve watch some comedy or something, but i dont want a story that doesnt even makes sense, and it leads me to this anime... which obviously doesnt give me any happy feeling, and now i have to find a way to get the hell out of this depression..... sigh, what a hopeless person i am.... |
| Pretty good movie in my opinion. |
| This is the kind of anime that either gets 9/10 or 5/6, since it depends on the current situation and what the watcher prefers when watching it. I gave it an overall score of 7, but my scores are mostly based on enjoyment so it is a personal opinion. The movie itself is really well made, and the art incredible. (10/10) Story depends on how you see it, it was realistic but then again it was somewhat confusing. I could have easily given it a 9, but when I watched it I guess I wasn't in the mood. Therefore I ended up at 7/10 but I've started putting all the ratings (story, art, sound, characters, enjoyment and overall) in my comments for more correct info for later. |
| I was kind of pissed off at the main character. If he truly wanted her, he could have made it work. Not even keeping up contact while this other girl is going crazy for you. Yeah the main character is an idiot. |
 |
| I've been keeping this one on hold because I heard it was 'tearjerking' and 'heartwrenching' and I was saving it for when I felt I needed to let loose some emotion. Oh my god, where to begin. The entire premise of the anime was good, the first 'chapter' was absolutely amazing. Full of emotion, and I could really feel myself getting attached to the characters. Next came the second chapter, and I instantly lost interest. We go from a young teenage struggle to keep in contact with our childhood friend/love interest, to the one-sided infatuation held by a new girl who was seemingly struck by 'love at first sight.' We watch her attempt to struggle for the courage to tell her seemingly perfect soulmate how she feels, but in the end she was just as indecisive as he was about anything. Meanwhile the MC is incapable of keeping due on his promise. If he wanted her so badly... then why did he not chase after her and let her slip away? It was completely within his power to do so, yet he didn't seem to grasp the concept of 'maybe if I wait too long, she might move on.' By the end of chapter two, I was yawning. In comes chapter three, and whoa unexpected plot twists! Could you believe that she, who assumed that he forgot about her and moved on, gave into reality and decided that she couldn't live waiting for the rest of her life, found a new 'partner' and continued living? But wait, it gets even better. MC-kun decides that his life is worth nothing, becomes and alcoholic and starts smoking, quits his job, all over a girl he used to love when he was thirteen but didn't bother keeping in touch with? I personally think that besides the animation, which was really well done and the soundtrack wasn't that shabby either, this anime 'feature' is the most overrated and completely overhyped entry on this website. I was expecting something more emotional, and not a teenage angst filled pit of poor decisions. 6/10 for the animation. edit: I'll likely never look back at this thread, if you want to try and counter my opinion then leave a comment on my userpage. |

| Why do some people try to pass anyone who didn't like this as a hater of anything but a happy ending?I have seen movies with a bittersweet ending and I loved them and gave them very high rating.Difference is they were actually well made imo.This didn't explain anything,it was boring and not to mention the second episode they did which they introduced a new character and wasted time on her (and we didn't even get to know what happens to her after it) just to show that the MC couldn't get over the other girl but they could have done that in a much better way.During the whole thing I was expecting something to happen but it didn't. In the end the MC is supposed to have moved on but all I saw was miserable person.I didn't feel hope in the end of this as how it's supposed to be imo,all I felt was disappointment. I appreciate the good animation but that's all,this movie is still a waste of time in my book. |

  |
| yup yup. Same here. I thought it was pretty boring. :P |
 |
| I didn't exactly dislike it...but I also didn't like it lol. Realism is all good and well, and I've appreciated other such works of fiction, but ultimately it failed to engage me. Actually, I can say the same thing for most Makoto Shinkai works, except they have gorgeous animation. |

zoderos said: It's not that the ending is bad... it's the portrayal of the ending that is bad. It was not fullfilling at all and I felt the closure was minimal. This movie was all about "moving on is hard but eventually we all have to", yet I dont feel that he moved on. At least show us the guy being with a new girl and in love, happy and relaxed, reminiscing his past and treasuring his moments with Akari. All that while knowing that life holds many surprises and the best things are yet to come. That would be a better suited ending and surely more realistic. All of us have been heartbroken but we have eventually found new love again. It may not be the happy ending we were expecting, but at least let it be happy for the protagonist. That guy deserved as much. Other than that, it was great. Couldn't have said it any better. Re-watch it if you weren't satisfied the first time. I think, this is one of those anime that you gotta watch more than once to fully appreciate it. I watched a lot of magical bullshit romance anime, with forced fairy-tale like happy endings. And after one re-watch, I actually realized how good and simple this movie was. Simplicity is beauty. |

| LOL so much hate from you people. HAHA! Realistic depiction of distance between people. Seems fine good to me. :D Great movie (2007) |
| Insert Signature Here |
| I adore the way they portrayed something that was very realistic. This scenario happens to almost everyone, though not to this degree. Everyone has a first love and oftentimes irrecoverable distances come between you. This movie shows real life, and I love seeing something like that since most anime is off its fucking rocker and cliched. Now would I be happy to see this anime get an alternate ending where the two of them are able to overcome the distance between them? Hell fucking yeah I would, cause I'm a closet romantic and I love seeing love work out. This anime wasn't "make me cry" depressing, it was "my heart is hollow and I'm going to go sit in a corner and think about life's failures" depressing |

Artorias said: hottbill said: I'm sorry that real life disappoints you people. Thank god this isn't like some cheesy harem/ rom com that spews eternal love all over the place. It doesn't exist, get over it. You think people actually act like that in real life? Nobody over the age of 12 acts like the characters did. It was garbage wrapped in a pretty bow, nobody with common sense would act like the characters in this show did, grow up. exactly! |
|
| It's not crap, it's just that, you guys are dumb :') No, seriously... It's not something to enjoy or to make you cry or whatever, it's something that has to make you think, to make you look back to the past. People don't call this realistic because of the way the characters act (which wasn't that bad either), it is more the heavy feeling you have after watching this, that last for like three days. You think about your own feelings. We all had a person or more, we are drifted away from. It hurts. And this is what is sad, and if you watched it closely, the ending, which was perfect, left this message. But if you guys don't like paying attention to something that is actually well written and much deeper than you guys think it is, and just want boobs and explosions, then that's your choice. I would say, give it a re-watch and you'll realize it's simplicity which also lends the movie it's beauty, since 90% of most romances are shit compared to this one. |
