5 Centimeters per Second



I've wanted to do this one for a long time, and have had it as a draft for months. But never once did I actually look into it. So finally I do and realize it's not what I thought it was, not the norm of what I've posted. 5 Centimeters Per Second is not a anime, but it's also not one cohesive film, instead it's a collection of three short episodes depicting the life and growth of the main character from elementary school, to high school, to the workforce.


Either way you're still getting it because I say so.


5 Centimeters Per Second


1: Cherry Blossom


2: Cosmonaut


3: 5 Centimeters Per second.


I personally can't wait to watch this. My sister has and loved it to bits, as well as most commentors on Amazon. The only problem it seemed any one had was that the film seems to be soaked in sap, and then apparently it missed the sap bath completely and was left dry and lifeless.. Lets all chalk this up to "everyones different" and call it square huh?

Theres a light novel of 5 Centimeters Per Second however so far its only sold in Japanese markets. It includes stories that are not featured in the anime though.. so.. if you have connections go for it.
