"If connections are impossible, we must move on." Damn this hits hard

I've never forgotten this. I still prefer this over Shinkai's new ones.

People get frustrated from this anime just because it’s not fantasy story where the characters win no matter what. But we love this anime because it’s reality.

what hurts more than anything is seeing them move on to something you cling so hard to

It's one of the best animes I've watched and one of Makoto Shinkai's best works along with "Garden of words". I wish these two movies would get more recognition and talked about more the same way "your name" and his other newer works get talked about but by no means am I saying that the new movies are not as good, it's just that 5 centimeters per second and garden of words holds a special place in my heart. Also, I love the music of 5 centimeters per second and the ending of the movie just did it for me.

I was with a long distance relationship around 2009 (met her in Ragnarok Online) when I stumbled upon this movie. We never really met (except in game). We stopped talking around 2010, and then got back in 2011 shortly. After that, no more contact. I still think of her from time to time and This movie always remind me of her. Watched it like 5 times already since then. I missed her and even though I have no way of keeping up with her (that time were using Friendster) and we didn't have time to connect at facebook, I still remember her face. Hope she's doing well.

You bad guy. Don't even remind me of this movie. I was so depressed after watching this.

I actually like this movie, its just not talked about that much. It's not forgotten, it's just not known by many.

Seeing this at 26 realizing I didn't let go of past and pushed people out of my life who loved me really hits home 💔

Amazing video bro, I love this anime. When I saw it, I was in a situation where I left my home city, and a girlfriend behind to pursue a better future. She never understood me completely and barely answered me on windows messenger lol. Fast forward, it took me nearly 6 years to move on. She moved on quicker, on that time she did come to visit me like 6 months after i first left. But from there, everything went downhill, i cried for her, I got depressed but kept pushing on my goals. Now we are "friends", typical birthday and Christmas messages . But I'm with someone else, and I'm happy.

This was the first anime film I ever saw. It’s an absolute masterpiece! I have it on DVD and blu-ray.

A guy i know absolutely hates this movie, because its the only anime out of like 200 or something that has ever made him cry (hes not the crying type at all)

That was actually beautiful dude, I thought this video would be a lot more popular with how short and sweet you explained the movie.

you fr dropped the hardest conclusion, shit was life altering

I've also watched this masterpiece when i was younger, around the same and as the mcs on the second chapter. Back then, i was more interested in the art style, animation, and mostly the music. I didn't understand yet, the implications of the story, especially on the third and final chapter. Now, I'm an adult, with more experience and more maturity. I now realize how tragic this classic is because of you. I've never forgotten this movie. Thank you so much for uploading this video. Every time I share this with people, they don't seem to find it interesting. Probably because it wasn't mainstream then. I hope a lot of people see it and watch it. Great video essay. ❤

My first ever video was a review for this beautiful film. They actually re-released it in my city for 6 days this month and I instantly rushed to watch it on the big screen.

I only watched this once and when i watched your commentary i cried again just thinking about it and the whole lesson, man will never get over this one

Great vid, brought back a lot of memories. The ending was devastating as a kid 😅 but loved it, even learned the trailer song on piano.

Who said it's forgotten lol, it's 17 years old and still kicking well, Shinkai Makoto even posted an unused poster last month

ahh this film is a breath of fresh air from anime nowadays. Great emphasis on the story btw!

Awesome video! This was the first Shinkai anime movies I have watched. Even now this is still on my top 10 anime movies of all time. I agree that this was a bit forgotten, but hopefully this video of yours can help it reach other anime fans.

My favourite movie of all the time ever

Not only am I just now realizing the movie was brilliant, I also see this video is, great work. When I watched this movie a week or two ago with my siblings we kinda ended up just goofing around, and missed a lot of the important moments and thus the deeper meaning (It was fun so I don't regret it). But nevertheless by the end of the movie, that frustrating end really took me by surprise and I've been thinking back to it multiple times a day, fearing that I'd make the same mistake as Takaki does. I do suffer the same problem of always being stuck in the past and never clearly seeing the future after it all, and I think that's where this movie does an excellent job at showing the consequences of what that can do. Anyways I realize that this whole thing doesn't matter to anyone but me and those around me, however I want to thank you for articulating the message so well that I genuinely enjoyed watching this video and have something new to think about. Thanks!

It hasn't been forgotten

I always come back to this. So sad but soooo good

hope in the future technology, that we can delete memories...

My absolute favorite movie from Shinkai. His most realistic and grounded work. Going through a similar thing to what happened in the anime at this exact moment. Don't know if rewatching it will help me process stuff or just make me even more depressed haha

love this movie. i think i watched it several years ago. before i only watch epic adventure action anime. this anime introduce to romance, slice of life kind of genre and ever since, its been one of my favorite.

great video essay and I agree with it being a forgotten gem keep up the good work

This masterpiece will always hold a special place in my heart. Its not perfect, the way nothing is.. bitter sweet and beautiful.. from the aesthetics, sounds.. a true classic.

Really great video,i dont know this anime before.but after watch your video i gonna give it a shot

For me, this is Shinkai's best film. Wish he made more movies like this.

I suppose you are right, the ending is difficult to swallow, the music, and everything really went well with the movie

One of the best anime movie 👍😭

this movie is literally haunting me for weeks since I saw it last December I had a friend at school when I was 15.there was no such thing as a romantic relation between us I never undestood my feelings but I felt at ease and happier around her.after finishing high school we kept contact for almost 2 more years by phonecalls, then the calls became distant and slowly stopped , I never know what she was to me romantic or not but 9 years later I still wish to be back on that old classroom spending classes and hours with her This movie was like a PTSD moment for me,I've only watched it one time but every moments felt like a fading distant memory

I’ve never seen the movie but from this video I can tell that the lesson it’s trying to teach relates to my live so well. I’m soon to be married and until recently I had still in the back of my mind doubts about a missed connection in college. I recently found out she got married a few months ago and that gave me what I needed to move on to my own marriage. Very relatable. Wish I found this movie sooner

still gets me catching feelings

Still hurts like its fresh

Ah yes gives us all hope in our future relationships

I'll watch this time thanks for suggestion mate. Good luck forthe future

beautiful

I interpreted the final scene as Takaki seeing the splitting image of one of his first memories with Akari which was enough to satisfy him in just being able to see her again. Also, I feel especially bad for Kannae in her scenes.

5 wallpaper per second

I watched this during lockdown and shit until now I'm still emo about it

I'll remember this and say I discovered you before you got big

Why i felt empty in my heart when i hear its name ?
