Reviews

To start off...I've never seen the manga...but I've seen TONS AND TONS OF ANIME and 5 Centimeters Per Second is one of my favorite animes, despite the fact that I really hated the outcome of it's story line. But the reviews of Kimi No Iru Machi seem deeply biased by many of the reviewers who are deep followers of the manga. I tend to like any anime dealing with love and with characters that are in a realistic-ish (compared to those over the top omedy-enriched romantic animes) dramatic relationship and a moving ending, and this anime has truly accomplished those means. I love modern artwork, touching music, and a sentimental ending that leaves you with such a good feeling that moves you down deep in the heart. I haven't seen a single chapter of the manga, and I haven't seen a clear, straight to the point anime in such a long while. Just 2 episodes made me jumping out of my seat, screaming at the main character, or giggling to myself at some hilarious turnovers. To end, if you've read the manga, try to throw off all bias you've had since it seems lots of people can't stop that part of their emotions from leaking into the review. But if you're a lover of a classic, touching anime between two lovers and/or are currently in a long-distance relationship right now, this anime will melt your heart into a joyous adventure just like it did to mine.
