Today I watched 5 centimeters per second. It is the first Makoto Shinkai movie I have seen. I have to say that I was captivated by the story the whole way. To me the ending was tragic then I realized that Shinkai was telling me something about life (I even shed a tear at the end). It was a very good film. It was unlike any other Anime I have seen before and although Shinkai is supposedly the "New Miyazaki" I find his Anime quite different. The Anime is very beautiful and down to earth (quite opposite of Miyazaki's fantastical and child like stories). The music and atmosphere was a big part of the film and at times sweeps you away into an emotional state. The story is something that a lot of people can relate to and you find yourself in the shoes of the main character right away. It is my most top rated Anime yet and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet seen it.
