| *when the ending music suddenly pops out* Eh..? Eeeh..? wha.. WHAT?! I feel a little bit late, I regret I've watched this. Makoto shinkai at its finest, the art is super, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing when the art could make you fall asleep. the music is fine, but the theme song oh the song, it makes the movie memorable "one more time, one more depression" is the best part of this movie |

| I found this unbelievably boring 3/10 |

But I do connect the themes, with my life experiences. Saber_Princess said: I loathe this anime. yet, it is beautiful. My best friend told me to watch this anime right before he committed suicide. The pain of seeking answers in this anime that may never be answered. What? Anyways, really taken back due to how the movie came to be, I wasnt expecting much either. 8.7/10 edit: (06 of March 2018) Just finished the manga, got sad all again, but the last chapter made it a bit better than the anime, would reccomend to everyone. |

I don't know what my best friend is trying to say to me by means of this movie because it is too vague! If only I was watching this for the sake of me having fun I could just shrug it off, but no. I need to understand. His message is really important to me. :/ |

NataHak said: What the fuck??? They walked next to each other... they looked back... and THEY NEVER TALKED, THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT EACH OTHER! It was awefull!!! Why couldnt he just finish it in a way that doesnt leave your heart so dissapointed!!! I think i felt the way konho feels in the whole movie... Ohhhh .... It was so badddd.... the ending ... oh MY god. Impossible! so... yes, the art is great, and i think the the makers wanted to leave us with the excact felling of the mc, but i litterally think I gave my 1 hour to watch my heart just crush.... it was so heartless... just dark empty and bitter.... how can they not end up together.... and WHY is it supposed to be a fitting ending? SHE GETS MARRIED, and he keeps on feeling empty without her... omg, i cant discuss about it anymore. it hurts. Lol. That was exactly how I felt when I watched it years ago (around 2010?). Depressing and put me into despair. Made me felt worse than watching any horror movies. This one will forever be my #1 show that I hate. Happy ending too cliche? Screw that. Realistic? I don't give a damn. If at least the male mc also moved on and led a happy life I could still forgive it. Annoyingly it wasn't. 0/10 for me. |

| Very sad ending. As much as i wanted to see the cliche happy ending, i understand why it had to end the way it did. Keeping a relationship that is long distance is extremely difficult. Mine sure is hard but the only hard thing is not being able to see him everyday. It was killing Takaki on the inside and Akari had no choice but to move on. Another message of how long distance doesn't work out in the long run. Of course every relationship is different so my thoughts on an LDR have not changed. I still think they work out. It just depends on the people involved and how much they love each other. Overall, great anime. Wanted to give it a 10/10 but the ending was a bit sad for me.... >_< so a 9/10 will have to do for me. |

| In the movie it was more of a unrequited love,at one side when takaki was getting depressed day by day and stuck with the past on the other side akari already moved on with her life leaving behind the past and it seem that she doesn't even remember takaki until she found that letter and not only that she looks quite happy with her fiance as well but for takaki it was different,even though he had a gf but he never had the same feeling for her what he had for akari. And if you guys watch the last few minutes closely then you can find that it was akari who stopped sending letters. In the last sequence when both of them pass by,takaki said to himself that i strongly believe if i turn back she would turn back as well but as train passed on it was takaki who was alone on side and she moved on. Or it was just a hallucination as takaki tried to find her in every place. But for manga which was published 3 years later few things seem quite different,over here akari still remember takaki and even waited for years for him before she moved on and even in the train scene in the end,she talked to him from the other side of track and said he would be fine from now on and when takaki find that she's engaged he finally decided to move on with his life. For manga i think it's not canon as many fans were dissatisfied with the ending so they add extra stuff which wasn't there in the original novel n movie or maybe i'm wrong it's just the movie was really low budget and they cut on this stuffs. But tbh i was depressed with the movie ending and will still be if i ever watch it again,it was neither a happy nor sad ending but it was for the best. :( poor takaki. |

| This was...this was....oh my God! All I was concerned about was the sky. The sky is really well drawn in this movie ad it's one of the reasons that made me watch this movie. I got really attracted to the sky in the movie picture on MAL. I didn't get deep inside the story or the feeling of the characters. I was lost more than half of the movie, but the sky and the sea, I can't ask for more; and the song at the end, wow, it hit me. I want to watch the movie all over just for this song and it cleared up the whole matter for me. Beautiful movie. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
Grimmbae said: Nah you're right, lol. It didn't lead to anything, it just tried to make you feel bad about the characters or something.I didn't see the point in this. At all. Am I missing something? It didn't lead anywhere. I was really looking forward to watching this but I'm left feeling really disappointed. |
Grimmbae said: I didn't see the point in this. At all. Am I missing something? It didn't lead anywhere. I was really looking forward to watching this but I'm left feeling really disappointed. It's about how shit happens and you shouldn't linger on it for too much or you'll ruin your own life. You see the guy in the show, he loved a girl, and when they got separated he couldn't get over it so he ended up feeling depressed for years, looking for something that just isn't there anymore. Because of his inability to move on he ended up hurting himself and others (surf girl) the girl from his past on the other hand started a new life after moving since her past life couldn't go on anymore and at the end she's as happy as Larry. The last part of the movie is about how the guy realises that he wasted his life thinking about the past and gets over the fact that he'll never see the girl he loves again, at the very end, he manages to smile again. |
| Reading many posts here on this thread I can say that many people feel frustrated by that ending this tell us 2 things: -first:the movie succeded in making the viewers care for its characters and attached to them -second :many people want an ideal ending where the lovers end together wake up people life isn't a fantasy place that's what the movie trying to tell you As for the main guy yes he is spineless but there are many teenagers like him and the movie trying to show you how distance would affect your relationship with the one you considered your only love. |

| Welp, my heart just got shattered into bit by bits. Visuals were amazing tho. |
| Boring...i don't understand any fucking thing at all |
| I... Well I really just don't get the hype. Art was stunning (no surprises) and the story was sweet. But a moving masterpiece? Nope. Perhaps since I watched it raw, the English translations make it more moving or something?heres to hoping kiminonawa actually meets expectations. |
 |
| Oh no! I expected a better movie. I couldn't relate very well to the story, fortunately because i didn't have such situation. I feel the movie would've been much better if it was two hours long. Scores: My Final Score: 7.7/10 Overall: This movie may be the prettiest movie I've ever seen, i will definitely watch it again for the outstanding visuals. I loved the snowy atmosphere it was so relaxing. I rarely see that in tv series. |
| Words can't describe those feelings that I felt during watching and those background drawings were flawless Makoto shinkai you are a genius |
| Okay after procrastinating for so damn long, I finally decided to watch 5 cm per second. And although I already knew the outcome, goddamn it was more saddening than I thought!! I couldn't shake off this melancholic feeling from the start to till the end. I didn't like the ending and wanted them to end up together but... BUT... it was still a masterpiece for various reasons. |
 |
| Just finished 5 Centimeters per Second and wow, although I knew the outcome I still was surprised. I felt so melancholic and empty after the ending, I just really hoped it would end up in a happy ending. Still, I enjoyed this anime, although maybe, I'm too sensitive to watch stuff like this. So sad, but still, a true masterpiece! |
| I feel like i just watched 1 hour of nothing. Too fucking boring This anime is indeed gorgeous looking, but pretty visuals doesn't make it for a really boring story and not even good characters |
 |
| Animation was beautiful! But the movie was depressing, how distance can draw people apart... and it's sad cause it's true. 8/10, I read the manga before watching this lol |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| I need an help to understand a little thing: Why after Takaki mooved he stoped to write to her? I understand that from Tokyo to small city is a trip of 4 hours, like Naples to Milan in real life, but why did he break the keep-in-touch with her? Letters arrive in any case! |

They did exchange letters after takaki moved for a year or two, but because of anxiety and fear that their relationship is already slowly fading because of the distance , Takaki stopped writing, and the funny thing is because of that, his fear become a self fulfilling prophecy. Sorry, but I think it's stupid. Takaki moved and he lost her forever. If you want to stay in contact with a person, write to her or him. He started to write mails to no one, why don't write to her? |

Thanks god, almost you understand what I mean. It's a weakness of this movie I think. Why starting to write mails to no one? My only solution is that he wanted to make her live and maybe let her forget about him |
Lyulka said: Slim1795 said: Thanks god, almost you understand what I mean. It's a weakness of this movie I think. Why starting to write mails to no one? My only solution is that he wanted to make her live and maybe let her forget about him The problem is the way they portrayed the MC here is cringeworthy and not realistic at all, When people claim that this movie is 'realistic' and 'reflection' of real life, it almost makes me laugh, You know when they say that romantic happy endings are cliche as f*ck and not realistic at all because of ridiculous plot armor, This movie is just the same albeit on the other side of the coin, if happy endings will do everything for the main characters to meet, this movie tried everything to make it sentimental and dramatic, seriously this movie has Interrupting troll trains, Travel delays and letters blown away and other anime-ish scenes, and people call this 'realistic'. lol I think it could be realistic if he tried to find out her and he failed. In this movie we have a really weak character, he lets that life goes on without tryin do something. I think if you are in love with someone or really you want to change your state to be, you should do something and if you fail you almost tried. This is real, not what happened in the movie. Also because thinking about mails and whatever, she lived all the time in the same city. In fact when she is a woman she departed from the same small city to move to Tokyo. In any case no, this isn't real or realistic |

In any case no, this isn't real or realistic Agreed, He`s kinda retarted(sorry for the word), He is shown to have some emotional devotion to the main female character, but his actions contradict this, He went so emo it`s pathetic, these are the kind of people that I want to beat up and smash their heads against the wall until they gain some balls and man up. Not considering your brutality (lol), I think that Makoto Shinkai did a good work with Kimi No Na Wa because the main male character tried to find out her. The fact he closed himself to other girls and didn't do anythhing to change is like a big baby behavior |
| Good thing that this epilogue was not as long as the previous chapters (7-9min without all the "fluff"). It would have probably lost any impact otherwise. At least, it adds to the other parts and doesn't seem useless. Enjoyment: 4/5 It was interesting to follow this young man in such a way. But it's sad to follow Shinkai because he doesn't seem to be able to create anything he didn't already do. Score: 7/10 |
| I have been crying from the first minute the anime began because i replaced myself with the main character, it reminded me a girl i've been talking in the past with mails (because she was from a different country) and we stopped. We were talking by mails for 7 years and we stopped recently. Anyway the anime was magnificent! |

| Even after Your Name, the last 5 minutes of this movie still remain by and far the best thing Makoto Shinkai has ever directed. This will always be my favourite Shinkai film. The themes and message here just really hit home with me, even if the characters are quite weak and the pacing is stiff and unnatural, though the art in this film is some of anime's best imo. I'd really love to see Shinkai revisit this weird three part short film thing and flesh it out into a full feature film, especially considering how much he has improved as a film maker since this. |
| So the office girl wasn't Kanae? |
| This is so boring wtf why this got an 8? |

GosuGian said: This is so boring wtf why this got an 8? I struggled to finish this and several times I almost gave up, if it weren't for the nerds pestering me about this movie for the last two years or so. I made sure of watching every agonizing minute of this just to feel justified in letting them know how much I hated it. It was like watching grass grow. |
| It was soooooo boring 💤 I saw it has high ranking and so wanted to watch it. But nothing happened in the anime except in the ED. I wonder how it's with 8 points |
