    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 )

    I knew from the poster this movie would be beautiful and it does not disappoint. The characters are endearing, the melancholy romance is powerful and visually it's simply stunning. If only it lasted a little bit longer...

    Touching, sad, heartbreaking.
    A truly great movie that makes you remember all the things about young love. From the joy of the first kiss to the pain of letting go, 5 cm/per second is a must see.

    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.
