    One of the most realistic and grounded animes I've ever seen (it's in my top 5 of all time greatest anime movies), it chronicles the life of a boy who an never get over his first love and how that makes him cold and distant toward everyone else. It was created by Makoto Shinkai, ...( read more)who is an absolute singular and amazing voice. His style his evident throughout, lots of long takes with the characters slightly out of frame, so we can marvel at the beauty of the backgrounds.

    Slow-moving, drawn out and so beautiful in so many ways. It's a haunting movie about love and loss.

    The narration about the characters thoughts/feelings (I think) is what makes this story(s) so appealing. This is easily a chick flick; if you can call any Anime a chick flick.

    Story 1 is a decent set-up for Story 2, but Story 3 is just a short montage of random shots with a lame...( read more) song played in the background; terrible resolution for the first two short stories.

    It's a great animated movie, the art is amazing and the depth of the story itself is awe inspiring.

    Touching story about regret, separation and lost love.

    One of the best animated films I have ever seen. On par with Hayao Miyazaki. Kinda reminded me of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time but much more heartbreaking. I still haven't recovered after watching this film and you'll see why after you watch it. Beautiful animation, landscapes, and characters. Nicely told story, poetic. Very realistic. Very Memorable. Also, the theme song fits the movie perfectly (One More Time, One More Chance by Yamazaki Masayoshi). One of those movies that stays in your mind for days.
