One more chance, one more time

A tale of two people, Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who were close friends but gradually grow farther and farther apart as time moves on. They become separated because of their families yet continue to exchange contact in the form of letters. Yet as time continues to trudge on, their contact with one another begins to cease. Years pass and the rift between them grows ever larger. However, Takaki remembers the times they have shared together, but as life continues to unfold for him, he wonders if he would be given the chance to meet Akari again as the tale embarks on Takaki's realization of the world and people around him.

Quotes

"Vividly capturing the lost promise of youth... Shinkai extends the innate possibilities of the anime dynamic..." VARIETY

"[Makoto Shinkai is] hailed as the 'Next Miyazaki'..." THE JAPAN TIMES

"5 CENTIMETERS PER SECOND never fails to amaze with how it looks." ANIME ON DVD

"...a very interesting anime experience that really goes beyond the stereotypes of this genre and creates a rather memorable and eye catching movie. " - Impulse Gamer




"LEGENDARY ANIME..." IGN.com

"Shinkai has been hailed as the next Miyazaki, and his dreamy mindscapes often equal or surpass the anime maestro in breadth of detail and depth of emotion. Shinkai extends the innate possibilities of the anime dynamic, reapplying its principles of lush effects, inflated background detail and sometimes undernourished character animation to mirror the interiority of the characters in every nuance of their surroundings."
