Read your review (just now after watching this anime almost a year ago) and I totally agree… I simply love this anime, loved it so much that I absorbed every meaning I could find from this movie and made me realize it’s time for me to move on with my life too. I was an anime hardcore addict before, and romance/real life genre is not my thing, but “5cm/sec” changed all that. It also made me stop watching anime for some reason. Maybe because the movie taught me to move on and live life. Takake and I sort of shared the same experience before, and indeed the distance (even just a few hours away) can make any relationship drift away. I was really hoping for a happy ending but upon seeing that sad yet wonderful ending, tears started falling. And I’m a man, doggonit! Again, thanks for your wonderful review, now I know there are some people who feel the same way as i did about this masterpiece.

By the way I made a review of this myself months ago…here’s the link.

I hate this movie because it made me feel very sad……wish I had never heard of it. I try to stay away from movies like this but sometimes you know too much about it already to not want to know the details about what happened……damn my curiosity, damn it to hell!

Finally, it took me about 2 months before i found a good day to watch it.

At the end i dont know what should i express my feeling about it, should i cry or happy with the ending I dont even know which one it is. But finally i found a reason that i can cry for Takaki.

There is some questions i have left.
What kind of reaction would Takaki has when he learns about Akari is going to get married soon?
And what kind of reaction would Akari has when she learns that Takaki doesn’t have any girlfriend yet?

I don’t even know what to say…honestly… This movie was far greater than anything I expected and ended far differently than what I had hoped. This movie is sad, yet captures so many things that happen in our lives today that we can do little or nothing to stop. It was truly a work of art.

Ok finally watched it…now I understand the movie ending is supposed to be great because of how well it represents reality, but it doesn’t stop me from hating it because it means the whole movie actually represented one big downhill slide–the exact opposite of romance. Sigh…I’m sad now…

I really like the ending. I thought the music video showing what had happened after Akari and Takaki parted from the train was really well done. Though I do wish we could have gotten a bit more from what happened to Kanae.

Loved the beautiful artwork. The story…hit right at home. I’ve Experienced both Takaki’s and Kanae’s situations. This really dug up a lot of memories. I’m surprised i’m still holding it together. Personally i don’t think i can watch this again…not for a very long time at the least.
