5 Centimeters per Second
| endless emptiness |
| 5 cm/second is my fisrt Makoto Shinkai`s movie I have watched...I never miss their films again after that they are able to make anime with graphics that always amaze me |
 |
| I admit I was raging at the end... I felt it coming though, the writing was really realistic and felt so recognizable and relateable to myself... This anime showed us the exact thing life is, life is imperfect, we make alot of mistakes which we continously regret and because of that, we all say that 1 magic sentense in our head somethimes: "what if I did...." "What if..." Unfortunately, in life, we do not get to restart our choices, which gives us an empty void inside somewhere... Best description of how this anime made me feel? made me feel human.. |

| 1/10 worst shit I've ever watched in my life. |
 |
| Like i just wasted an hour of my life. |
| I learned how hard long-distance relationships are |
| The first third of it really resonated with me, because having lived in the North of England, the frustration with train delays felt very vivid. Overall, I didn't like the film as much as I expected, though - I heard it was great, but I only found it vaguely entertaining. I don't remember much about it, even though I only watched it last year, so maybe I should give it another whirl. |
| God this felt so draining and depressing, I feel so empty inside and I'm still in disbelief that that's all there is. Thanks Makoto Shinkai for making an hour long story where two 13-year olds who like each other... never speak with each other again and pretty much suffer for the next 10 years. Had such a great time. |

| real life in 1 Hour and 2 minutes |
 |
| Empty. I felt it three years back too during my first watch but that was more out of frustration. Now, I feel empty because of how real this is. Shinkai Makoto-sensei, thank you. |

| It was just meh I was just bummed at the end |
| Don't remember in the slight what I felt on my first time, I just remember I liked it I rewatched it after watching Kimi no na Wa and felt depressed and found it much better than the latter, inclusively, I considered it to be the best Shinkai movie and my second favorite movie ever until now. Now I just finished my third session of both movies and what I felt for 5 Centimeters was pretty much nothing "That's it?" What I am sure is that the effect varied very differently throughout my life. But tbh I am not eager to rewatch it in 5 years, I think I will find it boring to the point I'd just drop it and go do something else. |

Severe_ said: I don’t get why they both stopped sending letters. They both were excited to see if they received any, yet never sent any themselves. I don’t get how they held on to those feelings for so long without any type of communication, I believe this “sad” ending could’ve been avoided if they just communicated like they did in episode 1, and look how far they got in episode 1. Tbh, pretty disappointed at the ending that point just didn’t make much sense as if this type of ending was being forced It's elaborated on in the manga, but in short: they stopped having things to talk about because they were apart and each had their own life. As for the feelings, they were both reminiscing about a time that they saw through rose-colored glasses, an oasis in a sea of uncertainty (the lack of stability that resulted from their parents moving around). Akari, however, got over it and only thinks back to Takaki with nostalgia. Takaki, on the other hand, has been unable to let go of that idealized image of Akari, and as a result hasn't been able to form meaningful connections with anyone. IMO the story is both about missed chances and acknowledging that, sometimes, some things just don't have realistic chances of happening. Takaki missed his chance to confess his feelings (he lost the letter but surely he could've written on something else, or just talked to her), while Akari decided to not give him the letter because she was being realistic about it and knew that staying hung up on each other would prevent them from living their lives (like it happened with Takaki). |
| Unlike seemingly everyone else, I felt happy at the end. I think it was very positive. For me it was like both of their lives intertwined time and again, but neither was dependent on the other. They were able to find their own lives and find happiness in those lives, and even better, accept that happiness both for themselves and each other. It was as if saying that your happiness and life does not depend on a single person or a single chance. You can find happiness anywhere with anyone as long as you don't start clinging to what you think is the single chance. |
| I liked the first 2 episodes, can't say the same for last episode tho, felt incomplete...your name had the same kind of ending but better(mokoto realized) bcuz atleast mcs reunited at the stairs in the end. |
| it feels bland to me. |
| Nothing much really but I enjoyed it |

Wiziliz said: this pretty much summarizes itWow, what a disappointment, shame, the first episode was really good but then it just went downhill... |
| I've been posponing this film for the longest time, but now that I've just finished watching it... oh god it hurts a lot. I loved how it shows that not every story has a big and impactful ending, that most of the times relationships slowly wither away because of distance, because of things left unsaid... As someone who spends the majority of time thinking about the past and about people that I haven't seen in years it hit really hard. |
| I'm feeling a little empty right now, like if I had a glimmer of hope that they'd end up together but then reality hit and they didn't. The ending was depressing, but it is realistic because not all love stories have a happy ending. To be honest, I didn't cry, but the sadness hit me hard when the song began to play. 9/10 This movie hurts more than others because it is so realistic. |

| Hi, the feelings I had while watching were so weird that I felt the need to write a comment here. I liked the movie overall, even if the structure was a bit weird. The ending was somewhat predictable given episode's 2 story. If you pay attention, it is told that both Tanaki and Akari were hesitant in communicating with each other. What I didn't like is that even though the love between them was over, they are still supposed to be friends. You simply don't forget a relationship like that even if it was years ago, and we don't even get a hello in the end. I think the story is pretty realistic and it hit me a bit a harder than it should have given that I see myself a bit in Tanaki. My life is sort of similar to his atm. I'm glad however that the final scene at least tells us he was able to move on with his life and forget about Akari. |

| I felt absolutely nothing, the exact definition of a 5/10 |
