5 Centimeters Per Secondðž
Aren't you tired of convenient endings? ðž A masterpiece depicting "realistic youth" that gets messy and tangled. A heartbreaking love story that pierces deep into your heart ð You won't be able to escape its lingering emotions for a while after watching... ãRatingã Overall: â â â â â Story: â â â â â Animation: â â â â â Voice Acting: â â â â â Music: â â â â â Characters: â â â ââ (No distinctive characters, but that's okay) ãSynopsisã A boy and girl who part ways upon graduating elementary school. This is a series of animated films depicting their lives, where they are cruelly pulled apart by time and distance despite their mutual attraction, told across three short stories. Makoto Shinkai, the director who became explosively famous with "Your Name.", but personally, I think this is his best! Be sure to check out the meaning of the distinctive title in the main feature ðž I truly feel that the messy misunderstandings and jumbled emotions... that's what "real youth" is. A conclusion like this resonates more deeply than a clean-cut happy ending... The theme song always makes me cry, and even just the trailer video at the attached URL brings tears to my eyes... ð It's a bittersweet and beautiful masterpiece that you want to watch again but also don't want to, please experience it for yourself âš

I've watched 5 Centimeters Per Second multiple times. The first time I saw it, I was really surprised it wasn't a happy ending, but I found it really interesting because that's not common in other anime!
