5 Centimeters per Second
| I felt so empty and insignificant when I watched this, but that's how real life is. |
| This is my signature |
| I didn't feel anything much at the end. At the ending, I literally said "o lol thats it?" I think the movie is completely overrated. The movie was average at best... it was just so bland. What was sad about it though, that's what I fail to understand. I know real life isn't necessarily interesting and things like that happen etc... but it left me so empty. I was really let down tbh, probably because I expected so much. They don't get to be together because of distance blah blah blah. It didn't make me care enough about the characters, actually. Halfway through the movie, I almost didn't care tbh. The animation was a redeeming aspect though. But I was still pissed because the background/setting looked so beautiful but the characters themselves looked like crap, as if the animators didn't feel like drawing faces. |

| I just finished the movie for the first time, I had gone blind, and without hype. Last moments of the movie I was raging alot, like FCK!!! NOOO!!! Then I stared to accept it, because stuff like these do happen, just wait for it to happen to you, it hurts like hell. I m glad I live in a small country, right now I feel that if I had lived in japan this shit would had happened to me and it would fuck up my life pretty badly. |
 |
| Wow, what a disappointment, shame, the first episode was really good but then it just went downhill... |
 |
| Giving it a three out of ten myself, I believe it to be quite clear how I thought of it. And those three points are only rewarded to the visual aspect of the film. I felt nothing for it — I do not remember feeling even a tinge of emotion while viewing it. |

| It's a while since I watched it. I remember that I liked it, but that it's basically only the visuals that stand out. I need to re-watch it sometime. |
| nothing. |
| I feel as though the creators wanted -- and succeeded -- at insulting our intelligence. |
 |
| tbh here. just finished watching it now.. dont really know how i feel, empty? depressed? .. after watching it, i reall expected something different, but even tho, it was good enough for me, wasnt the tear shreds, but was some tear at the end of first episode, n the second one. during the third one i was just felt empty, more n less i didnt know wha to feel.. i mean, half was shocked how it ended, the disappointment in true love... that sucked.. but also kind felt wrong movie at the wrong time. for me tho. idk.. But the Animation was really just incredibly beautiful,, snot much fan of the sound but it was sweet, very tragically, slice of life sound, specially the ED.. The character, was a interesting couple.. again dont know how i feel n felt about em. can agree on something i read here, The background, details and everything around it is just amazing animation , but its as if the animator didnt feel like drawing faces.. i mean like lazy-man job on the characters... Dont wanna go on the story sense i didnt feel anything about it.. ish might wanna watch it again in the future.. then we will see ^^ Well did i enjoy it.. well.. yeah.. kinda did even tho, i mean true love in the beginning n forgetting about it, 2 episode, kinda hit me the most. "why are u so nice to me...??" have heard that one before,.. but who knows what on his mind during that episode.. uhuhuhu Overall.,, Think i only can do a 6.4 /10 (6/10 ) do felt i could give it 6.9/10 but sense its quite the wrong story for me at the wrong time.. i could not.. |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| Just finished it and oh my god this movie is a masterpiece no doubt. it tells us that life isn't a fantasy place where your dreams become true,it tells us that nobody can achieve absolute happiness and life is harsh and fill with bittersweet moments like the ending scene in this movie. |
 |
| I'm not sure I understood it right, but imo the end of the movie says that she has moved on while he hasn't and now that he realized (the final girl maybe wasn't her but the most important thing is that he sees this girl as her) that she hasn't waited the train/him to continue her way, he can do the same and he keeps walking. So the end was imo a bit bitter because he was like "on hold" for so long; tho it doesn't mean I think the movie wants to tell us to move on without waiting for those we love. So I just felt a little sad for him. |
| I felt hopeful at first. To see Akari and Takaki write letters to each other, and then have one person make so much effort to meet while the other person waited... It really was hopeful and idealistic. Yet, in the second episode, I was a little conflicted because Kanae liked Takaki and he really was kind, but he just never looked at her... Yet, in the third episode, it was tragic in its own way to see Takaki and his former girlfriend so lonely, yet Akari was happy.. The movie gave me a realistic look at the different stages of life. So I don't particularly love this movie (I did have my expectations after seeing how perfect The Garden of Words is), but I do appreciate it. |

| This was an interesting movie to say the least, I decided I would watch a few Shinkai works in anticipation of Kimi No wa and was quite surprised by the ending. There were quite a few warnings of it being a teary movie and I really felt that during the first segment but unfortunately the atmosphere dropped towards the end. The monologues combined with the colour scheme and art was absolutely, beautiful painting such a tragic yet beautiful background when Tataki and Akari got together after the agonising delays. 2nd part was alright although they over-emphasised Tataki's narrow-sighted feelings for Akari imo, he was like ice when with Kanae. Then we get to the 3rd part which I felt was too rushed for a "perfect ending." Shinkai was brave to insist on a more "realistic" ending demonstrating how fickle love can be. Unfortunately, it left me feeling unsettled which sucks after finishing a movie. Hotorobi no Mori e is my perfect example of the "perfect" romantic movie pulling off a real tear-jerker ending that is both tragic and sweet. |

| For some reason I had a feeling the end was gonna make you feel "empty" especially after watching this one anime (cant remember the name) that I watched a week earlier that had a version of this kind of ending. Reality sucks doesn't it. |

Exactly, I mean it was sad, but a whole hour just to show that kind of a story? When it was around 40 mins in I thought that the real punch is gonna come soon(her dying/rendered incapable cause of him, suicide or smth original). But it did not, and the only themes it covered was distance between humans and the importance of courage? The animation was awesome and the soundtrack was nice tho. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| watched this movie a long time ago and thought it was boring. I got lured in by the pretty art (watched trailers on youtube) & I agree with one of the posters above, the character designs were ugly (and even uglier in Voices of a Distant Star). I watched the dub since I loved Johnny Bosch's voice but even he couldn't save this movie. Also hated that last song near the end of the movie, it sounded cheesy and totally ruined the mood for me. This movie's so overrated, the only good thing about this was the art/pretty backgrounds. I cry easily at other movies/dramas but not this one, I think Mamoru Hosoda's films were way better (I actually felt like crying in The Girl Who Leapt Through Time when mc was going through that final time leap with Kawaranai Mono playing in the background) somehow I also ended up reading the manga version of this movie and it was actually better/less annoying than the movie. |

| When i just finished watching i was like " meh yeah okay" i felt it was okay at the start then i explained it to my friend and surprisingly i started to like it..however the symbolism of time and distance and delt with beautifully. Love differs for everyone i guess after watching this movie. |
| I did not feel anything. It is one of the most boring anime I ever seen. Noting really happened in those 3 episodes. |
| if i felt anything it was disappointment in the movie. |
Chimera-Ant Arc sucks A1-Pictures is great Lelouch is alive  |
| Well They tried And I did like it, but melodrama is something anime doesn't do well and this is a prime example |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| It was good, felt really sad. Akira moved on and Takaki well broke up with that black haired girl from workplace. Akira seems happy but the look in takaki eyes Seema so empty. He shuldve just forgot about Akira and moved on with black haired cutie. Buy ah well..the message the makers wanted to give was well received. 8/10 |
| Felt like it was a waste of time |

| I found it pretty bland on my first watch too. Then, I rewatched it after his most recent movie, which was by the way a complete bummer, and found it profound and hard hitting. I dunno, maybe it's the effect of leaving school and drifting away and this agonizing realization that people whom I thought would be with me for life are becoming total strangers. Yeah, you got it. I'm sort of in the angsty moody phase right now. But then, this movie is painfully accurate in conveying the whole ambience of nostalgia and loss of people afflicted by this particular condition. On the whole, i can understand people who find it a bland and pointless investment because of the loose, inconclusive ending, character development and lack of a cohesive plot thread. But rewatching it without expecting anything of that sort has given me good insight into both the creator's intentions and even myself. That's not something I can say for many movies. The crux of the film, as I now realize, is more visceral than your typical straightforward anime. You have to watch it with that mindset, and from experience, this particular mindset just cannot be turned on and off like a bulb. Good for you if you're in that mood. .....Or not, because that's not a very good mood to be in. |

| Pensive sadness ;_; |

| i hate romance movies, after watching this, i hate them more. |
| Terribly depressed but at least Your Name had a happy ending |

| That it was super boring, also I didn't like the story. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I guess I was dissapointed mostly since they didn't get together and it kind of pissed me off that the male main character was fine with not seeing the female main character ever again. It's also sad how she wasn't there when the train passed by at the end, but at least the movie is realistic. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I was bored out of my mind when watching this I get what shinkai is going for with this super realistic style and themes of love,passage of time and separation,but god are these characters boring and lifeless. No metter how much i could relate to the scenarios i could not force myself to feel nothing,this character are lifelss robots that only serve to monologue the sows themes,i could feel nothing when watching them |
| I felt like I moved 189 meters from my seat. Otherwise not much. I didn't hate it or find it especially boring, but it's not my type of movie. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I feel extreme boredom, the movie was bland, with lots of pointless elements. The first episode was good. Now the second one... It's clear that it was to develop the main character a bit and then tell a story about the girl and her love that ended up with...nothing. The 3rd one was just a boring ending that just briefly summed up their life as adults, 'amazing". To everyone who don't know, a movie is one of the media that is only good when it creates emotions or gives you some knowledge. The closest thing you can get from the movie is probably some nostalgia of your childhood love or maybe relevance to any of the characters. Thing is, that's about it. So people either like it, because they think it's some kind of true romance (which is not). To prove it, just think about how coincidental events are. Snow storm just the day they wanted to meet in ep 1 and a broken scooter + rocket launch + confession the same day in ep 2. So realistic, right? And the second group is the people who dislike the movie for various reasons as always. |

| I'm not sure. Confused, I guess. I was really hoping for this to be another feels train work of art like Kimi no Nawa and Koe no Katachi were for me, a story about the love between two individuals. While the ending was pretty nice, I just felt like the entire film itself was just very lacking. I felt there was barely any chemistry between the two main characters, and the second episode felt a bit filler-ish. I just felt like the main relationship wasn't developed enough for me to truly care about it. I wanted to like it alot more than I did, but it just didn't do it for me. 7/10 for me, it was good but nothing truly special in my opinion. |
 |
| One of the most boring experiences I've ever had not only with anime, but with movies in general. Honestly staring how your clothes spin inside your washing machine is more interesting than this nothingness of a movie. |
IRIS-T said: The first time I watched the movie way back 2009( I was 12yrs old at that time) to me it was the most boring shit ever, no interesting action scenes and lots of talk lol, it was a shitty movie, and now 2016(Currently 19yrs old) a few days ago I decided to watch it again and surprisingly. The movie had some profound effects on me even though I already know the ending, it was not sadness but perhaps Hopelessness, Anger, Disappointment? Its weird lol, The realization that life can slap you pretty hard is so harsh and the way the movie shows it to the viewers, my mind is telling me its just a movie so don`t dwell to much on it, yet here I am with the lingering feelings of emptiness and slight depression.... My childish belief of True Love never ends just got shattered.. T_T And Do you think Akari got into arranged marriage by her parents and also to help her move on? I get that the manga is based on the novelization of the movie, but the manga puts the anime to shame! I felt emotional on the first part, but parts 2 and 3 felt so empty and pointless! The manga was an emotional ride of heartbreak and doomed love. I wish I could see an alternate movie based on the manga, so that all the characters have depth! |
 |
| "oh, people fall out of love as people change along with time." though the plot seemed plain and boring to me, i thought of all the people who would've been impacted by it cause they've experienced something similar before. it didn't seem so boring and plain after that. |
  |
| 5 Centimeter per Second is the first anime movie that gave me real impact to my soul(?).. i feel empty, hopeless and realize how adulthood loves works. |
 |
