While I liked the film more, the manga is still great and expands on the characters in a pretty significant way. Here's an English cover of "One more chance, one more time" that I enjoy listening to.įinally, I also recommend checking out the manga. Do note that the analysis has minor spoilers for Your Name (which I think you've seen IIRC).įor further analysis, here's a write-up on the quadrant system and how it's used to depict the characters moving on or staying behind. I pretty much agree with everything that user noted (except he wrote much better than I could ever hope to) so give that a read if you did want to hear my thoughts on this film.
#5 ceniemters persecond series#
It is the 3rd installment in Naoyuki Miura 's closet drama series 'Reading Love' (, Koi o yomu).
It debuted in October 2020, from Wednesday 21st to Sunday 25th, at Tokyo Hulic Hall Tokyo. Told in three interconnected segments, we follow a young man named Takaki through his life as cruel winters, cold technology. I highly recommend reading this write-up for a wonderful analysis on the film. 5 Centimeters per Second (5, Bysoku Go Senchimtoru) is a closet drama adaption of the film of the same name. It's a bittersweet ending that allows him to finally be happy once again.
He has moved on from the love that has been holding him back for years. However, when he turns around from the train tracks in the final scene, he has a smile on his face. When Takaki finds out that his family is also moving, he decides to meet with Akari one last. Despite separation, they continue to keep in touch through mail. Takaki would not have realistically reunited into a relationship with Akari. Takaki Toono and Akari Shinohara, two very close friends and classmates, are torn apart when Akari’s family is transferred to another region of Japan due to her family’s job. To me, the ending of the film is perfect.
A common perspective some viewers have is that the ending of the film leaves them sad or frustrated. I'm especially happy you enjoyed the ending. Out of all the media I have consumed, none have depicted the gradual lose of love as well as 5 cm/s did for me. To me, this quote sums up why this film is such a masterpiece.ĭespite having only seen the film once over a year and a half ago, this is one anime I think about very often. If that daily life could be portrayed beautifully, however, then perhaps that would allow us to believe that our own day-to-day experiences are treasures worth living for." - Makoto Shinkai This is because in more cases than not, we ourselves live daily lives that are by no means extraordinary. The tale lacks the dramaturgy that an animated work ought to have as entertainment yet, my desire was to create an animation in which nothing extraordinary occurs. "5 Centimeters is a story in which nothing happens. Yukiko Seike’s rendition of this modern classic adds a new level of emotion and intimacy that is unique to its source material.I commented on your previous post, and am glad the film had a strong impact on you! I guess it was like drinking a bunch when you are allready hammered. In Makoto Shinkai’s defining work, the internationally renowned director and animator unfolds a love story that is as timeless as it is fleeting. 5 centimeters per second Not a love story, a story about love. And love, which is already capricious, can feel like it is moving at terminal velocity. Told in three vignettes, 5 Centimeters Per Second: A Chain Of Short Stories About Their Distance explores the joys and heartache of falling in love set against the backdrop of the breathtaking visuals that define. Our memories are captured and shared with the world on social media platforms. Young love, missed connections, and unrequited feelings collide in a romance from Makoto Shinkai. Now life seems to move at the speed of light. Remember a time before cell phones could be found in every pocket? Or when even accessing the world wide web was something only readily available in a library? Back then letters still filled up postboxes and moments just felt so much more precious when captured on Polaroid film.
