5 Centimeters Per Second should be considered the fully blossomed fruit of Makoto Shinkai’s influential animated film. Go to Full Review

A dreamy anime, very much a tone poem, has been remade into a snooze. Go to Full Review

Due F @RT14704568 2d 5 Centimeters per Second (2025) is a heartfelt romance that explores first love, distance, and the quiet acceptance of life's inevitable changes. Beautiful performances, elegant visuals, and emotional storytelling make the journey deeply moving, although Akari's perspective and the film's central symbolism could have been explored more fully. Overall, it's a worthwhile watch for anyone who appreciates reflective, character-driven romantic dramas. by alunauwie See more Nova S @Novastrike Feb 27 Headline: Visually 10/10, Storytelling 1/10 (Manga readers beware). Review: "If you expect this movie to bridge the gaps from the anime with manga or novel material—don’t. They had 2 hours to fix the 'Cosmonaut' arc and give Kanae the justice she deserves, but they chose to stick to the same old melancholic script. It feels like a wasted opportunity to show how these characters actually grew up. Beautiful to look at, but narratively stagnant. Better off re-reading the manga for a more fulfilling ending."

The stronger female POV and the planetarium scene make it unforgettable. See more Read all reviews
