Realistic and heartfelt, accompanying characters on their journey to self-realisation, this anime movie will probably hit home for many people. Slow yet touching storyline; only problem would be that it is in three parts that don't have much linkage at first sight. Animation is excellent with highly detailed scenery, and the music only helps getting the emotional impact across.

I did not watch this recently nor do I write reviews for most of what I see, but this one is an exception. This is one the the few anime-movie that truly deserve this title. But in order to truly appreciate the beauty of this anime-movie, the watcher must be mature and sophisticated enough to read and appreciate the unspoken meanings and emotions emanating throughout this anime-movie. What is great about this anime is not really that the plot is something new or unique. In fact, the central theme and plot, love, is pretty mundane. Rather, it is ( read more)
I did not watch this recently nor do I write reviews for most of what I see, but this one is an exception. This is one the the few anime-movie that truly deserve this title. But in order to truly appreciate the beauty of this anime-movie, the watcher must be mature and sophisticated enough to read and appreciate the unspoken meanings and emotions emanating throughout this anime-movie. What is great about this anime is not really that the plot is something new or unique. In fact, the central theme and plot, love, is pretty mundane. Rather, it is how the story is crafted and conveyed; It is so skillfully crafted that it evokes the deepest of our emotions and feelings, a sense of nostalgia and sorrow that reminds us of our humanity and the sense of being alive; the sense of experiencing the outside world and discovering meaning out there.
There is not much dialogue in here, but that is a part of what makes this a great anime-movie. Unlike those popular anime which over-explain everything, sometimes to the point of idiocy, this anime is conveyed in a way that too much speaking is superfluous and will but diminish the beauty of the plot. Dialogue is a tool that must be employed only when necessary, and this anime does that fairly well. This is the same idea as those great movies out there that even without a single word it carries a complex and dynamic story line. Moreover, the animation and music pieced together in here makes this a piece of art. But be warned, the whole purpose of watching this, is that it is so touching, to the point of tears. So don't expect anything fantasy-wise with a comfortable ending; It is highly realistic and it will evoke memories that are intrinsically sad. On a scale of 1 to 10, I will give this anime a 9.5, one of the highest I will ever give to any anime. ( show less)

Slow but highly realistic and definitely touching, this anime movie will probably hit home for many people out there.
The plot is beautiful, emotional, and at the same time realistic and quite heartfelt, and makes for a peaceful watch quite uncommon in today’s anime world. The end is unexpected, though somehow open, and might not quite satisfy everyone.
The story consists of three sections linked together showing different stages of love. The stages themselves were perfectly set, but to me, the change seemed somehow abrupt as each part took ( read more)
Slow but highly realistic and definitely touching, this anime movie will probably hit home for many people out there.
The plot is beautiful, emotional, and at the same time realistic and quite heartfelt, and makes for a peaceful watch quite uncommon in today’s anime world. The end is unexpected, though somehow open, and might not quite satisfy everyone.
The story consists of three sections linked together showing different stages of love. The stages themselves were perfectly set, but to me, the change seemed somehow abrupt as each part took a minute to get into; the gaps between the story parts were a bit too big for the plot to flow flawlessly all in all. It wasn’t that much of a deal since I had the movie in three different files anyways but it might confuse some people…
Genre-wise, “5 Centimetres Per Second” has slice of life, drama, romance, and perhaps tragedy. There sure is a lesson for life to be learned from this – how not everything in life is achievable, and some things don’t go the way you wish; surely a watch for all ages IMO.
The characters are cute, not all that memorable but realistic; if you look closer, they’ve got quite contrasting personalities, and their journey towards self-realisation is something many will be able to relate to. Vague hopes, dreams, and uncertainty create a quite mixed but still touching atmosphere.
The dialogue’s sincere, quite cute and touching, but it can’t be denied many anime movies have more dialogue. “5 Centimetres Per Second” is more about the setting (which is perfect) than the dialogue, so it may seem boring to some people (a friend of mine *sighs*). I didn’t have much of a problem but you're warned…
The animation, in contrast, is pure art. Detailed and beautiful scenery and smooth animation, combined with a quiet but fitting soundtrack. 6/5 :D
“5 Centimetres Per Second” might be hard on those used to comedy, loads of fighting, or those who don’t expect anything realistic. However, to anyone not looking for a total escape from reality, this is a true and heart-touching tale for all ages. I'd sure watch this again!~ ( show less)
