秒速5厘米/byousoku 5cm


Do you know about it?

The speed of a falling Sakura flower...

It's 5cm per second...

A tale of two people, Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who were close friends but gradually grow farther and farther apart as time moves on. They become separated because of their families yet continue to exchange contact in the form of letters. Yet as time continues to trudge on, their contact with one another begins to cease. Years pass and the rift between them grows ever larger. However, Takaki remembers the times they have shared together, but as life continues to unfold for him, he wonders if he would be given the chance to meet Akari again as the tale embarks on Takaki's realization of the world and people around him.

Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari are close friends who, upon graduation from elementary school, are parted because of family movement. Their deep feelings for each other keep them in contact, but they worry they may not meet again. Then, one day, Takaki decides to visit Akari.........This is a movie in three parts that follows the thoughts and relationship of 2 young people as they meet and part, both from their point of view and from people around them.


A very sad story? Maybe. It's all depends on how you want to interpret the whole story. The main message that this 1 hour animation would like to tell us, is regarding something about time, love, distance & trust... how are they linked together? What impact will they give? Something that really close to everyone... so close, that it really touches the deepest part of our heart. Maybe because I'm in the rather same condition as Takaki in the movie, that's why I'm touched by this movie... very nice movie indeed... although there might be people who questioned about the ending of this animation, but I love the ending very much. It should be end this way... if not, the story will not bring out the meaningful moment for us to use our imagination and also to touch our soul...

The graphic of this animation is extremely well made. The OST and main theme of this animation is very nice too. A very nice, smooth, soothing, slow, relaxing and touching OST indeed... musics are all able to let you recall the scene of the movie... the sadness... the sweetness... and everything... nice main theme too... "One more time, One more chance"... I personally enjoy this OST & Singles very much... hope you guys out there like it too...
