5 cm per second / 秒速5センチメートル ♥

 5 cm per second
A chain of short stories about their distance


 

That's the title of one of the best anime films I've ever seen.
It was directed by Makoto Shinkai and I think he did a very good job with it.

The film tells us the story of Takaki Tōno, and it's divided in 3 short episodes: Cherry blossom, Cosmonaut and 5 centimeters per second. The plot starts in 1990 (when he is a child) and ends in 2008. It's all about the distance that separates him from his first love, Akari Shinohara.

The story is very nice, but what  I really loved was the scenery, which is amazing (you can see some phots here), and the OST (by Tenmon) is also great.

Why that title?
5 cm per second is the speed at which sakura petals fall. Sakura trees are very important in this film.

As you can see the sky is amazing and the clouds are so well done

In this video you can see some scenes of the film with the song One more time, one more chance.
