5.0 out of 5 stars5 Centimeters Per Second: Quick Review
By Caleb J. Hyles on March 9, 2011
Format: DVD
Honest; Relatable; Poignant; Heart-wrenching; Wondrous; The most lonely of a film I've ever seen. Almost too brutal too handle in its honest portrayal of modern day relationships. The extemporaneous detail of animation into even the most mundane of things is astounding. Everyday events are brought to life in ways I never imagined. Open your heart, and let it be broken by this amazing film.

5.0 out of 5 stars5cm per second...
By Mitsuki Shiroi on February 13, 2008
Format: DVD
"They say it's five centimeters per second."
"What do you mean?"
"The speed at which the sakura blossom petals fall... Five centimeters per second."

I've watched many anime movies, Hayao Miyazaki rating amongst my favorites, but Shinkai absolutely beat Miyazaki with this one, if you ask me.

5cm per second is the perfect portrayal of every day life. How many of us has had friends, even first loves, and thought they'd be together forever, only to have time pass by until we can barely remember their faces? How many times have we passed by someone and thought it might be someone we recognize?

The story is absolutely magnificent. Takaki and Akari, both children used to transfering, find each other after Akari transfers to the school that Takaki attends. Because they both prefer being inside, spending time in the library, they grow closer and closer, until even their classmates make fun of their supposed relationship.

But unfortunately, what could have been comes to an abrupt ending when life intervenes and Akari is forced to move all the way to Iwafune. And the story continues with Takaki's point of view, how time and distance rips him up from the inside. Because he'll always be looking towards some far distance place, having dreams about Akari.

She's the one for him and the fact that they're not together places him into a position where he's always troubled and where he doesn't even notice the other girls that do love him and are closeby.

It's breathtaking. The animation is magnificent and fantastically executed. The lighting and the backgrounds were just breathtaking, while the soft piano music that played in the background wasn't distracting and only added to the entire effect of the movie.

Trust me when I say that this is one worth to watch. And if you've downloaded it, it's definitely worth the 22 bucks to have the actual DVD.

Superb. And that's something I don't say often.

5.0 out of 5 starsprofound anime!
By M. Yang on January 19, 2008
Format: DVD
I never thought that this anime would move me the way it did. I guess I watched it not really expecting much, but it really helped me reflect on my life and how my interactions with everyone has had an affect on who I am.

The title refers to the speed at which Sakura flower petals fall from the the tree. The petals are like us, falling from the tree of life. As we fall, we encounter all sorts of people. There will be people who we will fall in love with, however by the time the petals(us) reach the ground we don't know who will be beside us.

Its done rather well. I've never bought an expensive collectors version of any movie, but I went out right away and bought the collectors version. Hopefully, the dub is done well and the special features will also be included.

5.0 out of 5 stars"Shinkai Makoto's third animated film is just PERFECT!"
By [KNDY] Dennis A. Amith TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on August 8, 2008
Format: DVD
Shinkai Makoto has been someone of a hero for me. Back in 2002, when he won the award as "Most Valuable Newcomer" at the Tokyo Anime Fair 21 for "Voices of a Distant Star", I was blown away by his work for creating a short animated film by himself using only a Power Mac 7600/120 computer and various consumer and professional design and animation software.

In 2005, he returned with another award winning film titled "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" and his third film "5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND" which hit theaters back in March 2007 was another award winner for "Best Animated Film" at the Asian Pacific Film Awards.

But what makes this film different from his previous work is simply amazing. The previous films were very good but "5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND" is just perfect!

From the screenplay, the animation, the music - everything in this film is just perfectly done, well-planned and there is no doubt about it, Shinkai Makoto is one of the most brilliant animators in the world. There is something about his way of thinking, his way of animation that people just fall in love with.

With this particular film, "5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND" is a film divided into three parts.

The first part titled "EXTRACT" features two friends, Toono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, both attend a new school (fourth grade) with each other. They have the same class and they enjoy the same things. As they grow older, both are very fond of each other but in many ways, have difficulty expressing their true feelings for each other. During junior high, Akari moved away and transferred to a new school in a town in the Tochigi Prefecture. The two kept in contact ala penpals through letters sent to each other quite often.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA Reply to Mr. Jonathan Lane's Review
By Suzanne on July 16, 2008
Format: DVD
*While I normally don't post a review by replying to another one I thought it would be most productive to respond to Jonathan's negative criticisms of this film since most of my praise for it acts as a counterpoint to his critiques.*

Wanting Shinkai to be "the next Miyazaki" is placing unnecessary preconceptions and restraints on a director who is a unique artist and not like Miyazaki at all. Miyazaki has succeeded because he's made Eastern fairy tales and fantasy palatable to a Western audience to which these things are often foreign. His style lies more in the narrative than in the aesthetics (though he doesn't exactly skimp in that area). Shinkai in terms of style, form, content, aesthetic, focus, etc. is nothing like Miyazaki.

As for the so-called "pacing problem" I agreed wholly that Promised was badly paced. But Shinkai's problem is that he couldn't decide what to focus on and how to weave the narrative together. There are two solutions to this; you either maintain a tight control over the flow of the narrative and the characters within it, or you sacrifice narrative pacing for aesthetic pacing. That's what he's chosen to do with 5cm. So the claim that 5cm has bad pacing is completely incorrect. Shinkai is not going for narrative pacing here, but aesthetic pacing. This is a classic technique of Asian art. You can see it in classic Asian film such as Ozu, Mizoguchi, Hsiao-hsien, and Ming-liang. Shinkai achieves this through his minimal focus on narrative, ellipses, pillow shots, musical montages, etc.

As for the music, I also disagree and think this film is another leap forward for Shinkai.Read more ›
