5 Centimeters per Second
| I'm one of those people who used to didn't get the hype with this show and you might see one my old threads here but after a re-watch a few years later, I'm finally starting to appreciate it for what it is. From a thematic standpoint, this movie is phenomenal and delivers it well. I don't think the characters were ever the main point of the show but how cohesive the themes are being presented from the story and symbolism. They're irrelevant to me in a sense where they're just tools to press the themes forward. It's not supposed to be a happy romance so the ending was completely satisfying despite what a lot of people say. It was about Takaki finally taking a step forward to a better life and move on which he does. It's a good ending. The movie has fallen to the 7 mark and before you all say ratings doesn't matter, I know..... it's just that in this case, it used to be rated pretty highly and a recommended classic. I'm kinda shocked it has fallen this low through the years. |

| Your Name seems to have effectively replaced this one in being Shinkai's magnum opus. It feels weird calling an anime obsolete but I think it fits here. Time is a funny thing. |
| I think the problem is people discovered Shinkai, Makoto because of Your Name and were expecting more of the same from this film. Thing is you cant compare a novel to a poem and expect the same experience out of it. It's a 7.5 now, a 8.3 when I first watched it, but will forever be a 10 in my heart. |

| i get how people feel about this anime, and i was like them too but somehow this has grown on me so much that now i think its a near-masterpiece, again i understand why its low |

| The weighted score is an 8 on AniDB, the average is even higher. Just MAL things. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I was checking my completed anime list and I noticed I rated this 9/10 and I was wondering what others have to say about it. Truth is I watched this around the time it came out, when I was a teenager and loved every minute of it, but I wonder if I'd feel the same way if I rewatched it now. |

LostSpectre said: I'd probably still love it. Five centimeters per second was one of those movies that I really loved, but also made me kind of sad, so I just didn't want to watch it again. I might give it another shot when I'm in the mood for that kind of movie.NorthPaul said: It's generally regarded as being geared towards an adult audience, so you would probably still enjoy it.I was checking my completed anime list and I noticed I rated this 9/10 and I was wondering what others have to say about it.
