Both movies are romances revolving around teenagers made by powerful directors. But while Whisper of The Heart spends half the movie showing you nothing and aims for a happier approach, 5 Centimeters Per Second goes for a much more realistic take on teen love and is able to do it in a much more beautifully animated and enjoyable way.

To me Children Who Chase Lost Voices was Shinkai's tribute to Mayazaki's great, Laputa: Castle in The Sky. Both contain a fun adventure through a magical world filled with nicely animated action scenes, but while Shinkai's work seems to feel like a been there, done that fantasy/adventure/action film Laputa felt like a simple story done in a enjoyable and for it's time, inventive way.
