Byousoku 5 Centimeter is an hour length romance movie directed by Makoto Shinkai.It's divided into 3 parts,each with a title and set during a period of the protagonist's life.

I won't go into what the story is about.Regardless whether you like the story or not,which in my opinion is solid and sad,the most enjoyable parts of the movie are the art.It captures the mood of the movie and the details and the locations of the movie are simply breathtaking.

The movie also has a very appropriate soundtrack.The instrumental music fit perfectly and together with the art set the mood of the movie the right way.The soundtrack also includes the song "One more time,one more chance" by Masayoshi Yamazaki.

The movie has a slow pace,so it might seem too long for people who aren't into the story or not in the mood.The characters are realistic enough,but they aren't too explored.Yet they're not shallow or uninteresting.Their life and struggles are simply realistic,and all of them manage to overcome or change.

All in all,the movie is one of great art and soundtrack.The story and characters are realistic,the pacing is slow,so if not in the mood for such a movie,save it for later.It's a great watch. 8/10
