| I saw this movie for the 1st time several years ago, but fortunately I remembered almost nothing, so that this 2nd time I saw it as if it were the 1st. But even so, I had vague memories of several things, so vague that I thought the movie was overrated, but now that I finished it again I see that I was massively wrong. |

| I'm so bored, I gave up at 27 mins. Disappointing. |
| That was freaking incredible. Holy crap. Still, some parts I feel that it messed up a little bit was the logic in the plot (mainly, just how time-travel worked), but the drama in this was greatly done. |

| Beautiful movie. The FEELS were real on this one <3 |
 |
| been a while since i watched a 10/10 anime movie, didnt expect to find a new favorite |
 |
| Seen it 3 times. Still as good. |

There are the body swap antics, with some funny moments, but at the start, for quite a long time, it does indeed feel like nothing really big is happening. But then it suddenly changes and quite dramatically. |

It's possible I may really like the rest of the movie, but I can't rate a movie highly that has such a slow, boring start (imo). No offence to anyone who likes it, of course. |

They definitely took a risk there with this slow buildup. Even though you also get to know some background info on the girl, which becomes more important later, you start to wonder when more things start to happen. The rest of the movie does make up for this, some moments are really "I'll remember that scene for a long time" material, but I can totally understand deducting some points for the slow start. |
| I finally got around to watching this, and it did not disappoint. It wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be, but it was sad enough to elicit some crying out of me. It was actually kind of funny, and I feel like the comedy and the serious parts didn't detract from each other, but only complemented each other. The romance was kind of weird since we didn't get a whole lot of build up (not much you can do in 100-ish minutes), but once it got going it felt kind of right? I guess?. I was kind of scared of the ending because of what happened in 5 cm per second, and I thought she was going to be married. Fortunately she wasn't, and it seems like the feelings or repressed memories are still there, and I hope that they end up getting together. The music was great as usual. |

Thanks for your perspective, I'll definitely try it again at some point. It's weird because it's the kind of anime that I should like, but it just didn't click for me at the time. |
