I know this is so late.
I've just watched 5 Centimeters per Second after a long time wanting since I saw the screenshot. Which is, awesome.
PLEASE READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVE TIME~ XD
5 Centimeters per Second has flawless graphics, you'll be amazed by stunning pictures, details, lightning, colors, in each frames. It means that if you pause anywhere, you'll find a flawless, stunning images to be stared at.
Not only a candy for eye that 5 Centimeters per Second gives, it also gives us a heart-warming story, that'll make you burst into tears.





A really worthed anime. I don't lie about this.
You'll hardly find anime with an amazing storyline (not to mention that it'll reduce you into tears), stunning graphic, reminiscencing sountracks (well, maybe this one just for me, but aside from reminiscencing, the soundtracks are heart-warming..) warped into one.

3rd『5 Centimeters per Second』


I am always searching somewhere for you
Opposite of the house, the other side of the alley's window
Even though I know you won't be here
If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now
Betting and embracing everything
To show you there's nothing else I can do
Anybody should be fine if it was just to ease loneliness
Because the stars in the night sky seems like falling, I cant lie to myself
One more time, please dont' change the season
One more time to the time when we fool around
I am always searching somewhere for you
Even at the intersection and dream
Even though I know you won't be here
If miracle was to happen, I want to show it to you right now
A new morning, myself
and the "I love you" which I couldn't say
Summer's memory is revolving
The sudden disappearance of heart beat
I am always searching somewhere for you
At dawn's town, At Sakuragi street
Even though I know you won't come here
If my wish is to be granted, please bring me to you right now
Betting and embracing everything
To show you there's nothing else I can do
I am always searching somewhere for your fragment
At the destination's shop, At the corner of the newspaper
Even though I know you won't be there
If miracle was to happen, I want to show it to you right now
A new morning, myself
And the "I love you" which I couldn't say
I always end up looking somewhere for your smile
At the railway crossing of the fast pace town
Even though I know you won't be here
If life can be repeated, I'll go to you many times over
There's nothing else that I want
Nothing else is more important than you
Thirteen years after their parting at the age of thirteen, they met again, at the same railroad crossing when they parted the first time, with the cherry blossom petals falling at the speed of 5 centimeters per second just like before, with the same train that devided them into distance, with the same situation as their first parting, they met again.
I'll continue later..
