5 Centimeters per Second
| Episode One : a guy going to another city from a train to a train , he meets that girl and kisses her!OK ( More like an advertisement for trains actually xD ) Episode Two : that guy lives his school life in a city and a girl wanted to confess and she couldn't! OK again Episode Three : That guy the guy and the girl grew up and didn't talk , the end of a love story ! Wait what ? The end ? What happened? Was there even a story? I read all discussions here but nothing good😐 like really ? Someone explain it otherwise I'll give it 2/10 ( usually I want to give it 1/10 but the Graphics of the Nature and Sakura were really good ) And Episode 2 was more like a filler and has nothing to do with the story !!!!!! The love relationship/story in that movie was just like any other normal relationship in real life , messaging then breaking up nothing special! Nothing sad about it ! There's no death or something, if she died at least the story would have been better |

| To be honest dude... I believe your not the only one who thinks it's shit... But, I think, the story is just plain boring. Though, I like the ED. |

| Bro, every thread I see about this movie says it's shit, I have no idea how you can think you're the only one XD Personally I thought it was a great movie, but *shrug* I'd be more surprised to find someone who agrees with me than not. |

lolipedofin said: MILD SPOILER ALERT FOR ALL SHINKAI'S FILM You are definitely not the only one to think that the story is lacking, or as you say it, shit.... But this movie is never about a grandiose story that suppose to enthrall you, this movie is about everyday relationship. Well if was a bit longer then I wouldn't have said it's a shit , the story lacks a whole story tbh xD |
|
| I regret that I spend my time to watch this anime movie. This was one of the worst anime movie I've ever seen... |
| Hey it's time for the regular 5cm/s hating thread, yay. I mean whatever, if you couldn't appreciate this movie that's your loss, but I don't really get your criticism of the story. Episode 1: A kid falls in love with a girl but they get separated from each other without their relationship having any kind of closure. Episode 2: Kid is now a teenager and is missing out on his present because he's stuck dwelling on the past, hurting himself and others in the process. Episode 3: Teenager is an adult now and his first relationship is long gone. The first girl basically forgot about him and is living a great life, she moved on, got engaged and seems pretty happy. On the other hand guy wasted a bunch of years being depressed and having a relationship with someone else that went nowhere, he wonders how or why he let himself get to this point and then gets over the fact that his first relationship is over, never had and never will have any closure and decides to move on and start his life over. The scene where he gets over it and moves on is the part where you're suppose to have "the feels" because of the bittersweet fact that his first love is over but that for the first time he admits it to himself which enables him to move on. I wouldn't call the 2nd episode filler since it serves to get into the protagonist's state of mind, it's been a while since ep 1 but he's still dwelling on it to the point where he doesn't even realise what's happening around him or cares about anything else really. The movie starts when the relationship starts and it ends when the relationship is over for both person involved, isn't that how a romance work? What kind of story where you expecting? I don't see how her dying would make a better story than her just going out of his life. The result's the same, she's not there anymore and he has to deal with it. The only difference that her going away brings as opposed to her dying is that it feels a lot more grounded and realistic and you get to see the contrast between adult guy who's an empty mess and adult girl who's living the life. I don't really see how making the movie longer would make it better either, you got all the info you needed from what was there. I guess it could have expended on the first episode so you get more invested in the relationship because that's the focus of the movie, but I didn't really feel like it was necessary since again, it shows you what it needs to. They make a good couple, share a hobby, enjoy spending time together and have really natural conversations, being more open with each other than with other people. They're both invested enough in the relationship to make some good effort to keep it going despite shit not going their way and they realise that they love each other only when they got separated. Yeas the relationship is just like any normal relationship in real life because that's what it's trying to portray, telling you that it won't always work out, that break ups are natural and that you shouldn't be depressed about it because it just happens, the whole "don't be sad cause it's over, be happy cause it happened" message. |

| The first episode was great I almost cried when she was waiting hours for him. The second episode was about choosing their future the movie ended and we didn't know their college field or career path. The third episode was a train wreck The girl married and the boy become alcoholic and quit his job. |
_Ako_ said: To be honest dude... I believe your not the only one who thinks it's shit... But, I think, the story is just plain boring. Though, I like the ED. I feel the same way I'm trying to finish the other two episodes, but i can't because their so boring. I know Shinki can do visual storytelling well (watch Garden of Words, the visual story telling in that movie was amazing), but the episodes still need some actual story. This isn't like fooly cooly or cat soup that are able to have no story because of the visual story telling, this is a drama and a romance story, which usally need story to push it forward. Overall, i think this was an ambitious project that didn't work. Ps. Just because it has Shinki's name in it doesn't make it an instant masterpiece filled with deep stories and fully fleshed out characters |

| story what story? this has absolutely no story, or characters, everything that happens in=s just a excuse for shinkai to shove in the viewers face its intended message of love and distance it is good for people that care and can like it for the message alone but i was bored out of my mind when watching this |
| No, dude. Makoto Shinkai can't write for shit. The only reason people keep riding his dick is because "Muh feels" and visuals. |
 |
| I agree completely, the plot, characters, and perhaps most importantly, the flow is all massively underdeveloped in every aspect. The only bright spot of this story was Kanae. She was absolutely adorable. Wish Tamaki would've gotten on with his life and gave her a shot. Would've been a better story. |
 |
| This is the first anime movie I watched. I didn't really know anything about it, so I thought every anime was this Crap untill I watched kimi no Na wa "Your Name". The ending song was the only thing I liked as everyone else said. |

Episode 1: "A kid falls in love with a girl but they get separated from each other without their relationship having any kind of closure." - That was okay. Episode 2: "Kid is now a teenager and is missing out on his present because he's stuck dwelling on the past, hurting himself and others in the process." That's where everything falls apart. We didn't see why they stop sending letters. In the last episode we see that they both looked in the mailbox, i think they both waited for a letter, but why meither of them tried to send a letter ? So if they still had smth in common they would continue to communicate. If they grew apart or lost interest in each other then they wouldn't look in the mailbox waiting ... But we clearly see that they both waiting for letters from each other, ridicolous because you should write to get an answer. If only one of them moved on then it contradicts the story since we see that they are both waiting not one of them. Somebody said that the boy is still in love, how youcan be in love with someone when you can remember him/her and her face ? That's just melancholy. and it passes so the girl in ep. 2 totally had a chance, i would understand if she just couldn't do it, but the fact that she could and was going to but didn't do it because she understood that the protoganist desised someone else ... How did she make that conclusion and was sure of it ? In reality you chicken or try and if she tried she had a chance ... The protoganists loce was gone already. Episode 3: "Teenager is an adult now and his first relationship is long gone. The first girl basically forgot about him and is living a great life, she moved on, got engaged and seems pretty happy. On the other hand guy wasted a bunch of years being depressed and having a relationship with someone else that went nowhere, he wonders how or why he let himself get to this point and then gets over the fact that his first relationship is over, never had and never will have any closure and decides to move on and start his life over." His love and first relationship are long gone. They both forgot about each other, the difference that she moved on and was happy while they guy also moved on but for some reason he is depressed for some reason, drink etc. Why ? They didn't communicate and he didn't even try so why everyone says he is depressed because he couldn't forget his first love ? He already almost forgot about her in ep 2. Well you see you may be depressed or feel down for few years not from middle scholl till adulthood. He understood that the relationship was over long ago, he accepted it, so not way he can be depressed about it for so long, people move on. I would understand if his life just didn't go as he wanted, and he was depressed but not because of his first love. OR If we were shown that he tried to write her and still loved her while she rejected him moved on and lived happily ever after, while he couldn't forget her and loved her and suffered, but that way you should cut off scenes where she waits his letters. show that he tried to write her, show that he remembers her etc. But the story just won't add up that's why it sucks. |

kodas110 said: /SPOILER FOR ERASED ALERT/ Mate, you can't compare this with Erased, first the guy she married in erased wasn't a stranger but their best friend, second there was no love relationship between her and mc. Please stop with these pointless "cuck conspiracies", they're ridicolous (airi best girl btw). By the way OP you're not the only one. The movie itself isn't shit but the story is. 1) Cringy and undecisive MC, after she leaves without giving him the letter he just ruins his own youth, without trying to contact his love first. He just waits for someone that decided to discard him. 2) Main girl that decides to leave MC and never contacts him again, she does not even try! She just decides to not give him her letter (but she takes the kiss and the "warming session"), she doesn't say "it's better if we forget each other", she just does so, unilaterally. 3) Girl in the second chapter, she could be the salvation for MC, she just has to confess and make him go past his first love. Decides to not confess for no real reason. Another character that will spend youth with remorse, yay! And after that you show that asshole main girl lived happily right after she left. But yeah, MC finally moved on. This changes everything! Not really. Gave the movie 7/10 anyway. The 3 missing points are 0/3 of story and characters. |

| this thread gave me cancer. i feel that most of the people who agrees with the shit that the op wrote never had a relationship or at least came close to having. i mean, the story is very normal, almost every teen felt what they felt, the fear of being annoying to the loved one, the lack of courage to say what you feel, the suffering of first love, etc. but of course, what should i expect from a forum with a lot of grown men who loves sword art online and ""waifus"" |

They expect every anime/movie to be full of actions and plots while this anime is about messages in life. People who understand the purpose of this movie are simply those that have empathy, which is absent in most kids. This pretty much sums up most of the MAL userbase. |

There's no death or something, if she died at least the story would have been better Okay just watched the movie. Oh my gosh, does it not compare to the manga! The manga had me crying and hurting for each of the characters, but the movie -- you wouldn't know what's really going on. The movie acts as if there's a chance for Takaki and Akari, as if they might meet before her wedding, that Risa didn't matter at all, and that Kanae was entirely filler. The manga was so heartbreaking and incredible! |

| It's interesting to see how people's opinion of something they watch is so heavily influenced by the score and praise they see on MAL for it. This movie was almost universally praised 10 years ago when it was rated 8.7 but now it seems there are a huge number of people who can finally admit that they found it boring since they don't have to pretend that they saw the value that other people pretended to see in it. I'm not saying this applies to everyone and I'm sure there are some people who actually still like this movie, but it's clear that most people's opinions really are heavily influenced and biased by the score they see before picking it up. Likely their enjoyment is also affected by the score and hype surrounding a show. |
 |
| I just don't understand why there need to be extreme situations (character deaths and shit) for you to see any value in a story. I always viewed it as a commentary on peoples ability to let go and what kind of damage that does to you as a person. Having said that I don't think the film is perfect and it does drag on a little bit. Like seriously how would it make it better? I genuinly don't understand this kind of thinking. |
| I will insert Yugioh into everything and you can't fucking stop me |
| It's a waste of time for me. |
| Story there isn't any but can understand meaning of the movie Good work with art and songs Second episode was a waste of time instead they should have worked more on the last episode oh that's right there is no story it's plain old life I wanted to escape from reality while watching but this movie pulled me down to the earth and kicked me in the face I don't like that |
 |
| i used to hate this until reality bugged me and thats what the anime is literally about people nowadays loves something like kimi no na wa which is literally garbage compared to this. this is such a great work of shinkai idk man if this had happy ending, ill see people praising ffs |
 still life: pink roses |
| ITT: People who only like unrealistic happy endings or grandiose tales beyond the realm of normal daily life |

Biggest load of bollocks I've read in my life right here. People aren't pretending to like something to fit in just because their opinion doesn't match your own. More likely than not it's because the people who loved it in yesteryear have moved onto other stuff and the majority of people picking it up this late aren't the audience it was made for. |
