Lesson learnt : - Keep beautiful memories in your heart. - It's ok to think about the past, but don't cling into it too much. - Sometimes it's better to take a step and move on.
Be happy the best parts of your past happened. And when it's time to move on, no matter how much you want to hold onto something, you need to let what you loved go. I didn't like the ending of this movie... years ago. As I got older I understood what the film was trying to tell us. Real endings are not always happy. Just bittersweet. And the sooner we learn to let go, the sooner we can grow. One of the best endings in anime in my opinion.
Joe A. what's astonishing is that this movie says so much despite being so short and simple (in terms of setting). This level of complexity is very difficult to reach. Also, a topic like the one this movie dealt with, is very rare when it comes to mainstream cinema, and by that I mean an entire movie based on a person's longing for another person. Like you, when I watched this movie more than a year ago, I felt that the ending was horrible. It completely broke my heart. But now I realise that the director was simply putting me in Takaki's shoes - allowing me to get my hopes up, despite knowing how this story is going to end. In the end, life didn't cheat my expectations, I did. And this is, I think, less of a lesson than a truth, simply because there is no clear indication that Akari moved on either. Perhaps she suppressed the feelings very deep. And when she found that letter again, the floodgates opened once more. Perhaps her reactions aren't as obvious as Takaki's, but the fact that she remembered their promise is proof that she loved him too and felt the same way about him even now. The point is, I think, if the person you love slowly fades from your life, it doesn't always mean that they were able to move on either - after all, this movie is from Takaki's perspective. The best thing we can do from then on is perhaps cherish that love that was, celebrate it and try and find someone else you might want to give it to. You don't need to move on or forget. You just need to live, and happily if that's an option. Best anime ever made in my book. Thanks for your comment. :D
Man i was under the feeling for weeks after watch this.. And today... I watched Your name today. And the end, i yelled: Don't you dare do it Shinkai, again!!! ...:D But all of his movies are awesome!
I’m gonna leave this here for anyone who stumbles upon this, I know I know my name sounds so stupid but it’s an account I’ve had since I was a little kid. This is my second time having to watch this after a whole year. At the time I didn’t know what clearly I was watching but I stumbled upon this after knowing it’s one of a film Shinkai has made before “Your Name” I was 14 at the time and heartbroken. I’ve experienced it before but not like that one back in 2018. It was something I’m glad to say that was my High school sweetheart. Months and months have went by knowing my heart still lingers for that one person when we all know that it would never happen especially when the distance always kept growing farther apart as the times progress. I could never accept that fact that it was actually over until I came upon this movie. Yes yes I know I may be 15 but I can 100% guarantee to you that the feeling I’ve had at those times up until now has definitely been love. A tragic one from having to believe it would last for a lifetime. For so long I’ve been trying to accept it for what it was and keep it as a bittersweet memory but in a way it has impacted my life where my lifestyle and daily actions sometimes feel reversed compared to what I use to be but no matter what I will try and try and continue and push further to a dream that I have. Not just me but I hope all of you reading the comment section knowing you’ve gone through everything everyone has expressed their feelings down in the comment section that you never stop striving to achieve your dream and have love as your secondary option in life. Like everyone said. Focus on bettering yourself as we have no second chances in life❤️ continue on I know all of you that have seen this video will make it and become successful in your respective areas and goals I hope to see this comment again in the future when I know I have made it. Life moves on❤️
That's exactly how I felt all these years after my ex left me. 3 years since. I wished I could see her again to start all over, but deep down, I knew that's not going to happen. Yet there's this longing that lingers in my heart. I want to see her, but at the same time, I don't want to because I won't know what to do at that moment. I still love her, but we'll probably never meet again. Once, I thought I saw her in a restaurant through a glass window, but I didn't go in. I would never know if it was really her as it was a brief glance. I kept walking with a sad smile.
+JohnathanLeeSprite In some way I know what you mean. I want to see again my ex. Howecer it seems that life doesn't want us together we have tried it 2 times but for some reason we never make it. And now she's studying in another state.
Do you still love her? Its 2years now my heart is hearting me too its like my life black and grey after all kind of colour So sad Watching this movie hurt more emotionally
The meaning behind the song is almost as sad as the movie. its about how his girlfriend died in an earthquake and years later he still thinks about her. so all the parts with how he "knows you couldn't be there" just makes me almost cry
This movie at start i was kinde little bored slowly slowly it just touched my heart in my entire life i hav never seen a movie like this really true feelings everything is dam true about these movie in just one hour its changed everthing ! Uun
While I want a happy ending too, over time, I found that it wasn't exactly about happiness, but it's more about being able to let go and move on. Let the memories remain.
both ending of movie and the song makes me so at peace. the sadness and the happiness is just giving me the peace that I don't feel nowadays. this is the best song I've heard so far.... it eases the pain that though it still hurts, it is making me smile though I cry my heart
Damn who knew it would end like that, I mean this indicates how life is, watching it today just shook me since Shigastu Wa Kimi No Uso, we all want to be with the one we love, some do but some don't then they have to live with regrets and fears... We all want the one more time, one more chance...
In the Manga it is heavily implied that Kanae (The girl who loved her since she saw him) and him meet after he finally lets go, and I like to think they both got the happy ending.
This piece of art hitted like a train when i watched it. No happy end but the fckng bitter-sweet REALITY... But men.. when u faced to your cruel reality.. It can be very painful..... Grab you memories and NEVER LET THEM GO.
Whenever I feel like maybe I should try to look for someone, I come back to this movie and remind myself that things never worked before and that trying is just a waste of time.
I love this story... Its about regret... and our inabuilty stop from things pushing on us... tearing us apart... With us doing nothing to realy stop it. Most people are in these positions... places where we could change if we move but we just stand still...
You are right. We are the cherry blossoms falling at 5 centimeters per second. Down and away from each other. We change directions and hardly, if ever, land next to the blossom that we initially started falling with
The characters in the movie tried and failed. We can move towards each other if we try bit the circumstances have to be right. The wind has to be blowing in the right direction, in the case of cherry blossoms
How it's wonderful to watch an anime that tells the same story of urs ^^ except we had to break up and now she is in love with someone else and claiming that she will marry him ... but i'll always wait in the story number 4 .
Something similar happened to me, she was my highschool crush, never spoke to her, too pretty for me (I thought in those years), years later one day I was walking with a friend, happened the same thing as the movie, saw her at the very last moment, we saw eachother, and she smiled, I didn´t do anything, that was the last time I ever saw her, a couple of years later a friend told me she had a crush on me in highschool, so, that was 22 years ago, learn from the old people, tell her (him) you find them attractive, they may reject you or not, my biggest regrets are from things that I didn´t do, not the ones I did.
This movie made my whole heart ache. It was amazingly planned and put together and the music just made this whole Anime more sad but more fulfilling in a sense. It made me not only cry but made me realize that I'm in love with such an amazing guy and I miss him every time we are apart. ="( everyone should watch this Anime, it's really great!
I have to say that this was one of my favorite anime movies. My only wish is that I could have appreciated the manga as much as I do the anime. To me, this song shows me how your love for someone can stay around years to come. I hope that one day I may find this love.
Sometimes, I'm struck by the painful feeling that I am trying to swim to a horizon that I can barely see, but no matter how hard I try, my will is too small and meek to resist being helplessly tossed around by the waves the ocean sends, forever keeping me from my horizon. This movie makes me feel that way strongly.
this songs made me feel the pain and loneliness it make my hearth cry deep inside. i dont know why., but when i heard this songs it gives me a break. but still love this songs. and the story was sooooo good. nice one GAMBATE KUDASAI!
I just watched this and the ending is both painful(b'cos it can happen) and satisfying. The smile on Takaki at the end shows he's finally moving on like Akari has. The song and the end theme are simply... beautiful... One of the best works of animation I've ever seen.
I know this movie is about leaving behind old relationships and moving forward with life... but if I had walked right by my closest childhood friend after so long, I would have at least stopped to say hello! All that aside, this is probably the most beautiful animated movie I've ever seen, in terms of the story, music and animation... Simply masterclass. I don't usually get into movies that much emotionally, but this ending really struck a chord with me... there were definitely tears in my eyes!
when I saw the ending song and I was following along the subtitles wow I started crying.it's just that freaking sad.and yeah when akari wasnt there in the last segment that kinda wrenched my heart cuz damn thats tough.
This movie, after watching it, made me so depressed. I didn't feel like moving for a while, but forced myself to do something. I actually said aloud after it was over "Wow." Bravo, I loved it. Bittersweet endings always get to me.
This movie is not for everyone... Many people say that the pace is slow... Its hard to explain but to those who can relate the movie is so... beautiful yet heart wrenching... the slow pace is what makes it so real... seriously fucked up my day... DAMN!!! This song really ripped my heart out!!!
@Feddegg i think the meaning behind why she didnt turn around and wait (im assuming it is akari because she started to turn around but just didnt wait) is because, as shown in the last part, Akari moved on. shes getting married and living her life while Takaki didnt and is basically regressing and hiding in the past, which is how i interpreted why he was the only one who waited, and why Akari moved on after the train. still an amazing movie and an ending that both pisses me off and makes me cry
Honestly it's been a while i haven't watched a movie like this one ! i felt strange after the movie ends...total respect to the author for this story. Peace
I missed the girl of my dreams like Takaki. I love this song because of how soulful it is. It also reminds me of what a great failure I am. My life is essentially over, for I cannot see any real future. The only question left is whether I will die of liver cirrhosis or suicide first. I thank the makers of this anime and those who uploaded it for putting my universe in perspective.
WAAAA~!!! TTATT I love how japanese songs tells stories...and such poetic, sentimental and bittersweet ones too...sobs "I'm always searching for fragments of you to appear somewhere, In a store during my travels, in the corner of newspaper, Even though I know you couldn't be at such a place." I know all of us do that too at one point in our lives!
@mimzi97 well that's what the movie is about actually "a chain of short stories about their distance" there are only limited interaction because that is makes their love really special, they can only hold on to their memories,until they move on Shinkai said in the interview that the wants to place the audience in the characters’ shoes.he even chose Yamazaki's song since the song was well known during their adolescence and was still heard as an oldie when they were adults making it 'realistic'
Only three things made me cry in my whole life. The end of Angel Beats, K-On! and this movie. I cried like a crytard, my mother was wondering what happened. Such a beautiful movie. Even now, I just re-watched and cried (just a little bit).
This scene is THE most beautiful and memorable anime scene, in the history of my anime watching career. Heck, this whole entire anime is a visual masterpiece. This is my favorite movie, and in my top 3 anime of all time. All the emotions, the tears, the sadness. Overwhelming. I definitely liked the way it ended. I imagine other endings would have ruined the purpose of this entire anime.
There was this girl who I was in love with that left about 2 months ago. She left because she wanted to isolate herself “for her mental health”, but I’m being to question her actually intention. I ask myself if she will ever come back or if it was all a lie and she really is gone forever. We weren’t dating or anything, but she still meant a lot to me and helped me through some tough times. I miss her so much but I’m stuck. Idk if I should move on, or wait for her. The more I wait, the more it hurts, but what kind of a person would I be and what would I be missing out on if she really was going to come back? On the other hand, how long will it take for her to be gone and for me to loose all hope, weather it’s my life or on her. I really want to be happy with her, but knowing my luck, it probably won’t happen. All I can do is wait and see I guess.
This anime made me feel really sad as it reminded me of a girl I was close to when we were very young, and over time we drifted apart but my feelings for her have never changed. Now I’m at university, but I’ll probably never see her again, and I feel like such an idiot for never letting her know how I feel. I understand how Takaki couldn’t move on beacause I can’t, and right now I would trade everything I have achieved to have another chance with her. 5 centimeters per second is beautiful.
:D This just made my night!!!! I am somewhat a fan of romantic anime. (The Princess and the Pilot, Into the Forest of Fireflies light, The Children who listen to lost voices) and I, one time, would like to watch a movie where there is an actual happy ending with the two characters getting to be together. Seems like there isn't enough of those out there.
@TheLastSamurai101 That would have been true for them, but they haven't seen each other since the parted on the train, but when they passed each other on that train track the felt a sense of connection. If your remember in the beginning when they were kids they were also separated by the train while Akari was moving to different town. They also promised to watch the cherry blossom again.
that train is just a metaphor of their relation.the train cut off them but she was waiting for him in chapter 1 on the other hund,she already left in final chap.
really cool movie i wisg ti watch more animes that are this way realistic siple and true that make your heart stop tottaly understand you ... saw it 3 times already gona watch it again someday thats just the coolest anime i have ever seen
listening to this song, and thinking of "the one that got away" made me cry for the first time in many years i finally feel good for the first time in months, i guess i really needed to open the flood gates hehe
@GrimReaperKazuya to what extent can we follow our love? when do we draw the line between our lives being torn up or still hopeful searching? obstacles can be cruel.
So I legit wonder why people cry at this ending. I think the story of a guy rising above his past and getting over himself is a happy one. It shows that you don't need a fairy tale romance to be happy, and that even if your dreams are crushed you can put the piece back together.
I watched the movie yesterday and i have to say that this is one of the best movies ever...i cried so much when i heard this song...its just amazing! q.q

Lesson learnt :
- Keep beautiful memories in your heart.
- It's ok to think about the past, but don't cling into it too much.
- Sometimes it's better to take a step and move on.
It's not the first time that someone tried to teach them to me.
But it seems like I'm a really really bad student
I'm still crying
Be happy the best parts of your past happened. And when it's time to move on, no matter how much you want to hold onto something, you need to let what you loved go.
I didn't like the ending of this movie... years ago. As I got older I understood what the film was trying to tell us. Real endings are not always happy. Just bittersweet. And the sooner we learn to let go, the sooner we can grow.

Best anime ever made in my book. Thanks for your comment. :D
For me it's anime and I expected a happy ending but it's good change despite it breaking my heart.
Man i was under the feeling for weeks after watch this.. And today... I watched Your name today. And the end, i yelled: Don't you dare do it Shinkai, again!!! ...:D
But all of his movies are awesome!
Yup once we reach certain point we can understand, what it's trying to convey & I gotta accept with you
The dvd/blu-ray of this film should come with 5 sections of free therapy
+Mike Mok agreed
5 centimeters per secomd = 5 therapy per week
One of the best movies ever created

anime man
I love this comment. 4 months later and you managed to make someone laugh.
+JohnathanLeeSprite what the hell hahahaha
Do you still love her? Its 2years now my heart is hearting me too
its like my life black and grey after all kind of colour
So sad
Watching this movie hurt more emotionally
The meaning behind the song is almost as sad as the movie. its about how his girlfriend died in an earthquake and years later he still thinks about her. so all the parts with how he "knows you couldn't be there" just makes me almost cry
This movie at start i was kinde little bored slowly slowly it just touched my heart in my entire life i hav never seen a movie like this really true feelings everything is dam true about these movie in just one hour its changed everthing ! Uun
Watch a garden of words
While I want a happy ending too, over time, I found that it wasn't exactly about happiness, but it's more about being able to let go and move on. Let the memories remain.
both ending of movie and the song makes me so at peace. the sadness and the happiness is just giving me the peace that I don't feel nowadays. this is the best song I've heard so far.... it eases the pain that though it still hurts, it is making me smile though I cry my heart
Damn who knew it would end like that, I mean this indicates how life is, watching it today just shook me since Shigastu Wa Kimi No Uso, we all want to be with the one we love, some do but some don't then they have to live with regrets and fears... We all want the one more time, one more chance...
the hardest love to forget is one that never occurred
In the Manga it is heavily implied that Kanae (The girl who loved her since she saw him) and him meet after he finally lets go, and I like to think they both got the happy ending.
This piece of art hitted like a train when i watched it. No happy end but the fckng bitter-sweet REALITY... But men.. when u faced to your cruel reality.. It can be very painful..... Grab you memories and NEVER LET THEM GO.
those feelings, damn, this song goes right onto my playlist.
Whenever I feel like maybe I should try to look for someone, I come back to this movie and remind myself that things never worked before and that trying is just a waste of time.
I love this story... Its about regret... and our inabuilty stop from things pushing on us... tearing us apart... With us doing nothing to realy stop it. Most people are in these positions... places where we could change if we move but we just stand still...
You are right. We are the cherry blossoms falling at 5 centimeters per second. Down and away from each other. We change directions and hardly, if ever, land next to the blossom that we initially started falling with
Davion Fleming The point is that we can move towards each other if we try.But we never do we just go limp like a cherry blossom.
The characters in the movie tried and failed. We can move towards each other if we try bit the circumstances have to be right. The wind has to be blowing in the right direction, in the case of cherry blossoms
Davion Fleming They never failed... They all just quit. They gave up their battle of love.
This hits way too close to home 😩
How it's wonderful to watch an anime that tells the same story of urs ^^
except we had to break up and now she is in love with someone else and claiming that she will marry him ... but i'll always wait in the story number 4 .
Catch me crying in the club
What a great movie! Although I didn't cry, I totally felt sad for what happened. Thanx for the upload!
This song was my favourite thing about this entire anime.
Something similar happened to me, she was my highschool crush, never spoke to her, too pretty for me (I thought in those years), years later one day I was walking with a friend, happened the same thing as the movie, saw her at the very last moment, we saw eachother, and she smiled, I didn´t do anything, that was the last time I ever saw her, a couple of years later a friend told me she had a crush on me in highschool, so, that was 22 years ago, learn from the old people, tell her (him) you find them attractive, they may reject you or not, my biggest regrets are from things that I didn´t do, not the ones I did.
the ending made me depressed...
me too .. i got over it after a week
The worst type of longing is missing something that was never there, and dying for something that you will never reach.
This movie made my whole heart ache. It was amazingly planned and put together and the music just made this whole Anime more sad but more fulfilling in a sense. It made me not only cry but made me realize that I'm in love with such an amazing guy and I miss him every time we are apart. ="( everyone should watch this Anime, it's really great!
I have to say that this was one of my favorite anime movies. My only wish is that I could have appreciated the manga as much as I do the anime.
To me, this song shows me how your love for someone can stay around years to come. I hope that one day I may find this love.
many times watching...still love this movie...very sad movie and meaningful
Man just watching this, made me feel depressed and I even let a tear..:'(
Great sad ending of a great movie!
this anime was so sad,everytime i watch it makes me cry
what a wonderful film ! i am flashed!
Sometimes, I'm struck by the painful feeling that I am trying to swim to a horizon that I can barely see, but no matter how hard I try, my will is too small and meek to resist being helplessly tossed around by the waves the ocean sends, forever keeping me from my horizon.
This movie makes me feel that way strongly.
really excellent and perfect ... which made me cry....
i love this movie (and the music too!!!) thanks to this i choose a new beginning in my life.
this songs made me feel the pain and loneliness it make my hearth cry deep inside. i dont know why., but when i heard this songs it gives me a break. but still love this songs. and the story was sooooo good. nice one GAMBATE KUDASAI!
I just watched this and the ending is both painful(b'cos it can happen) and satisfying. The smile on Takaki at the end shows he's finally moving on like Akari has. The song and the end theme are simply... beautiful... One of the best works of animation I've ever seen.
I don't usually cry...BT the ending song of this movie made me cry...the song was awesomeee.... ... I loved it....
Absolutely beautiful song accompanying a very well-made movie.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant movie!!!!!!
I know this movie is about leaving behind old relationships and moving forward with life... but if I had walked right by my closest childhood friend after so long, I would have at least stopped to say hello!
All that aside, this is probably the most beautiful animated movie I've ever seen, in terms of the story, music and animation... Simply masterclass. I don't usually get into movies that much emotionally, but this ending really struck a chord with me... there were definitely tears in my eyes!
@dedicateDx6
That's a great interpretation and analysis of that last scene.
OMG!! i didn't realize what he was singing in the movie but these lyrics are just so beautiful and sad!! describes Takaki's feeling to the fullest!!
I promised not to cry again..;-;
This-movie-make-me-cried. Simply beautiful.
The heart wrench this movie gives is unbearable. I just feel like hugging this guy tight.... He seems like the mist frustrated man kn the world
Some might think the ending was dissapointing but I think it was perfect in it's own heart wrenching way. The song was fantastastic as well!
beautiful movie and theme song
this brings so much pain, happiness and full of love.
when I saw the ending song and I was following along the subtitles wow I started crying.it's just that freaking sad.and yeah when akari wasnt there in the last segment that kinda wrenched my heart cuz damn thats tough.
i wished they made another set of episodes and give it a happier ending so we can all cry even more
Such sweet feelings...yet quite bitter. This is reality...This is a masterpiece in way or another.
@dedicateDx6 Hey :) Amazing view. Thank you very much. You just opened the view of a new aspect of the movie to me. Simply awesome :) Thanks
This movie, after watching it, made me so depressed. I didn't feel like moving for a while, but forced myself to do something. I actually said aloud after it was over "Wow." Bravo, I loved it. Bittersweet endings always get to me.
This movie is not for everyone... Many people say that the pace is slow... Its hard to explain but to those who can relate the movie is so... beautiful yet heart wrenching... the slow pace is what makes it so real... seriously fucked up my day... DAMN!!! This song really ripped my heart out!!!
Omg feels,this song cuts so deep.I love this movie so much
@Feddegg i think the meaning behind why she didnt turn around and wait (im assuming it is akari because she started to turn around but just didnt wait) is because, as shown in the last part, Akari moved on. shes getting married and living her life while Takaki didnt and is basically regressing and hiding in the past, which is how i interpreted why he was the only one who waited, and why Akari moved on after the train.
still an amazing movie and an ending that both pisses me off and makes me cry
one of the best animes
he waited...he waited for so long and she just...didnt ... this is the manliest film ever
Honestly it's been a while i haven't watched a movie like this one ! i felt strange after the movie ends...total respect to the author for this story. Peace
THE ANIMATION IS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
I missed the girl of my dreams like Takaki. I love this song because of how soulful it is. It also reminds me of what a great failure I am. My life is essentially over, for I cannot see any real future. The only question left is whether I will die of liver cirrhosis or suicide first. I thank the makers of this anime and those who uploaded it for putting my universe in perspective.
This was the very first film that has ever made me cry. God...I can relate a but too much.
WAAAA~!!! TTATT
I love how japanese songs tells stories...and such poetic, sentimental and bittersweet ones too...sobs
"I'm always searching for fragments of you to appear somewhere,
In a store during my travels, in the corner of newspaper,
Even though I know you couldn't be at such a place."
I know all of us do that too at one point in our lives!
This song is touching, the storyline heartbreaking. I don't really know if I liked or not, one thing for sure: it's unforgettable
Really good song, hearing it when ur heartbroken and can realate to the movie its really emotional.
@mimzi97 well that's what the movie is about actually "a chain of short stories about their distance"
there are only limited interaction because that is makes their love really special, they can only hold on to their memories,until they move on
Shinkai said in the interview that the wants to place the audience in the characters’ shoes.he even chose Yamazaki's song since the song was well known during their adolescence and was still heard as an oldie when they were adults making it 'realistic'
Only three things made me cry in my whole life. The end of Angel Beats, K-On! and this movie. I cried like a crytard, my mother was wondering what happened. Such a beautiful movie. Even now, I just re-watched and cried (just a little bit).
The movie itself had it's moments, but this song right here... THIS is what made me cry...
Going to watch it soon ! I know its bittersweet, but that is the meaning of this movie..What a love story with a big heart!
get over it, the movie
Great movie with a heartbreaking ending. But when i saw him smile, i thought, it's okay (:
Million thumbs up!!! The best!!!!
This scene is THE most beautiful and memorable anime scene, in the history of my anime watching career. Heck, this whole entire anime is a visual masterpiece. This is my favorite movie, and in my top 3 anime of all time.
All the emotions, the tears, the sadness. Overwhelming. I definitely liked the way it ended. I imagine other endings would have ruined the purpose of this entire anime.
beautiful
Oh jeez, why did I look up this song? The feels, they return to me... ;-;
There was this girl who I was in love with that left about 2 months ago. She left because she wanted to isolate herself “for her mental health”, but I’m being to question her actually intention. I ask myself if she will ever come back or if it was all a lie and she really is gone forever. We weren’t dating or anything, but she still meant a lot to me and helped me through some tough times. I miss her so much but I’m stuck. Idk if I should move on, or wait for her. The more I wait, the more it hurts, but what kind of a person would I be and what would I be missing out on if she really was going to come back? On the other hand, how long will it take for her to be gone and for me to loose all hope, weather it’s my life or on her. I really want to be happy with her, but knowing my luck, it probably won’t happen. All I can do is wait and see I guess.
just saw this movie 5 mins ago and its one of the best i've ever seen :3
oh god another anime that made me cry :( Just as bad as i cried for angel beats the last episode :( good anime!
This anime made me feel really sad as it reminded me of a girl I was close to when we were very young, and over time we drifted apart but my feelings for her have never changed. Now I’m at university, but I’ll probably never see her again, and I feel like such an idiot for never letting her know how I feel. I understand how Takaki couldn’t move on beacause I can’t, and right now I would trade everything I have achieved to have another chance with her. 5 centimeters per second is beautiful.
This Anime is the saddest I've ever seen. And this song just makes me cry thinking of it.
This movie is magnificent and this music just masterpiece
:D This just made my night!!!! I am somewhat a fan of romantic anime. (The Princess and the Pilot, Into the Forest of Fireflies light, The Children who listen to lost voices) and I, one time, would like to watch a movie where there is an actual happy ending with the two characters getting to be together. Seems like there isn't enough of those out there.
@TheLastSamurai101 That would have been true for them, but they haven't seen each other since the parted on the train, but when they passed each other on that train track the felt a sense of connection. If your remember in the beginning when they were kids they were also separated by the train while Akari was moving to different town. They also promised to watch the cherry blossom again.
Bruh had to visit this memory in 2020 again I love this movie😥😍
Damn, I must rewatch it. Masterpiece.
must...not...cry...
There's a lesson to be learned in this film! That is to follow your heart what ever happens!
I just watched the movie last night, it almost brought tears to my eyes.
Very simple, yet toucjing story.
this song, this movie, these comments ugh I don't know what to feel anymore...
that train is just a metaphor of their relation.the train cut off them but she was waiting for him in chapter 1 on the other hund,she already left in final chap.
@GrimReaperKazuya Thank you for explaining what True Love is.
DAMNNNN..the movie story + this song.. I can't bear it anymore..
My heart feels like it's going to break apart..
Aaaahhhh..... :(
really cool movie i wisg ti watch more animes that are this way realistic siple and true that make your heart stop tottaly understand you ... saw it 3 times already gona watch it again someday thats just the coolest anime i have ever seen
I cried for hours after watching this... The ending reminds me so much of Mr Nobody
listening to this song, and thinking of "the one that got away" made me cry for the first time in many years
i finally feel good for the first time in months, i guess i really needed to open the flood gates hehe
@GrimReaperKazuya to what extent can we follow our love? when do we draw the line between our lives being torn up or still hopeful searching? obstacles can be cruel.
the lyrics are beautiful
So I legit wonder why people cry at this ending. I think the story of a guy rising above his past and getting over himself is a happy one. It shows that you don't need a fairy tale romance to be happy, and that even if your dreams are crushed you can put the piece back together.
Bwaaaaahhh!!! T_T It was just so sad! Ending perked me up a little :)
I was upset for the entire week after seeing it.
I watched the movie yesterday and i have to say that this is one of the best movies ever...i cried so much when i heard this song...its just amazing! q.q
