The other day I went pass by the video shop. Hence I stepped in to look for Bleach episode 141-145 which is available by then. However as I browse through the collection, something captured my attention. The cover of this anime….
5 Centimeters Per Second (??????????, By?soku Go Senchim?toru?), subtitled “a chain of short stories about their distance.” is a 2007 Japanese animated feature film by Makoto Shinkai. The film was finished on January 22, 2007. The first part of the film was debuted on Yahoo! Japan as streaming video to Yahoo! Premium members from 16 February to 19 February, 2007. On March 3, 2007, the full length featured film had its theatrical premiere at Cinema Rise in Shibuya, Tokyo. The film consists of three segments: ?kash? (???), Cosmonaut (??????), and By?soku 5 Senchim?toru (??5???????), totaling about an hour of runtime. As in Shinkai’s previous works, Tenmon composes for this film’s soundtrack. The DVD was released on 19 July 2007 according to Makoto Shinkai’s official website.
I was ignorant about the japanese anime. Especially by those independent film director like Makoto. Just after watching the entire movie, 5 centimeters per second it just keep me thinking. “deep” anime and provoking. I couldn’t imagine the ending is simply simple. Eventually, I keep repeat the scene until I am able to grasp the message. I get to finally understand the message Makoto wanted to convey.
Human get together and slowly fall apart. The speed is like 5 centimeters per second. How each one and other took the time away. Slowly and steadily drifted apart. Everyone started to have their own life. I began to replay the friends that I had. Andy and how close we were back in Jln Kuantan. When he change school, we still keep in touch but slowly, we go on our own.
I googled for more information pertaining this anime. Then I found some of the info in Wikipedia. There are also few blogs mentioning it and i think it’s worth to share it here.
