5 Centimeters Per Second

Synopsis: Upon graduating from elementary school, Takaki Tono and his close friend Akari Shinohara drifted apart. Akari moved to Tochigi Prefecture due to her parents' jobs, while Takaki attended a junior high in Tokyo. The two kept in contact by writing letters, but despite the special feelings that existed between them, the only thing that persisted was time. When Takaki became aware that his family would move to Kagoshima, he decided to go see Akari since they would be too far apart to visit each other after he moved. However, when the day came, a severe snowstorm delayed Takaki's trip, and it would be hours before he reached Iwafune, where they promised to meet.

Review by: Jason James Rating:

The one thing that is good about this movie is the animation. It is stunning. If there is any reason to watch this, it is because of the animation. It is so good that at times you forget it is animation. The reasons not to watch this is the story. It just never seems to go anywhere. It is kind of a love story but more of lost love story. You know you just are not into the story when it is only and hour long but seems like it was two hours long. If you want to see some stunning animation give this a try other wise it just is not worth the hour investment into it.
