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)
Slow-moving, drawn out and so beautiful in so many ways. It's a haunting movie about love and loss.
Beautifully animated and beautifully told, only wish the story wasnt that sad
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)
It's a great animated movie, the art is amazing and the depth of the story itself is awe inspiring.
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.
Glorious art, specially the skies,it was amazing. But the story is too practical, it lacks the charm that the art had captivated.
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...( read more)
Being of a fan of Makoto Shinkai's films, I'm sad I did not watch this sooner. This is three short stories each relating to a single relationship. As a whole the movie doesn't quite work as well as Voices of a Distant Star. When taken seperately it's much more enjoyable imo. The ...( read more)
It was alright. I was pretty bored throughout the whole thing, its really nothing to get excited about... though I know a lot of people love it...
it is simply awesome, but the story has it implied sad ending, i feel sad for tohno-kun
Though gorgeous this movie was too slow to allow all the good things about it to shine. The story and characters make it worth seeing but its hard to sit through.
Shinkai's 5 centimeters is one of the most beautiful animes you'll come across. It's a three chapter collection of stories, told through the povs of three different characters.
At the heart of this movie is the wistfulness of young love, and how the reality of life begins to tw...( read more)
I am a huge fan of animation movies coming from Japan and besides the greatness that guys like Hayao Miyazaki, Satoshi Kon and Katsuhiro Otomo, I hadn't found a director that could really grab me by the neck and commanded me to watch. This changed when I saw a series of shorts b...( read more)
My love affair with Makoto Shinkai continues with this film, which has a more realistic grounding but slightly (only just) more cynical tone. I've always admired the work of anime director Hayao Miyazaki, and figured thats all anime had to offer me. However, Shinkai's films hav...( read more)
Not that I've seen a lot, but this has got to be one of the "prettiest" animes ever made. It's like, you know it's anime, but it looks so darn real.
I'm not the biggest fan of chapter by chapter movies, but this one worked well with that format, making the pacing better than wh...( read more)
5 centimeters per second?! That must take tremendous training.
I am so renting this.
My favorite from Makoto Shinkai. I love the graphics, soundtrack and story.
From the same people who made "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" this movie turned out alright. The animation was really beautiful, and the pacing went more smoothly in comparison to "The Place Promised in Our Early Days." The story is sad, but I can't say I was crying over ...( read more)
The animation was breathtaking. The story may feel a little slow to some, but it is accompanied by a very artistic narration which, coupled with the animation, makes it beautiful.
A good animated film about long distance male-female relationships in real life.
A beautifully done movie which no doubt everyone from all walks of life will be able to relate to. Makoto Shinkai has beautifully integrated our everyday lives into three short stories, woven to tell the tale of love and departure
Have you ever experienced a high school love that didn't quite make it? This movie makes for quite the juvenile tragedy. It features three short films: Oukashou, Cosmonaut and Byousoku go senchime-toru.
I've never really been into romance dramas but the amount of animation detai...( read more)
