You are purchasing a Shinkai Makoto"5 Centimeters Per Second" Japan Animation Region A Blu-Ray

Since the release of his award-winning short Voices From a Distant Star in 2002, visionary animator Shinkai Makoto has been earmarked as the future of Japanese animation, the next Miyazaki. Though these are no easy expectations to live up to, Shinkai has shown that the hype is well deserved with his 2004 follow-up The Place Promised Our Early Days and now 5 Centimeters Per Second, a.k.a. a chain of short stories about their distance. The title refers to the speed at which cherry blossoms fall to the ground, a fitting image of the film's delicate, lyrical splendor. 5 Centimeters Per Second continues with the soft, dreamy aesthetic and bittersweet adolescent sentiments of Shinkai's previous works, but this time he moves away from the sci-fi themes, reveling in the lingering beauty of the everyday.

Split into three episodes, 5 Centimenters Per Second follows the tender romance and coming-of-age of Takaki and Akari. They first meet as fourth-graders, lonely souls who love the same books and become the best of friends. When Takaki moves far away, it marks the end of his childhood and an unforgettable friendship. In his high school years, he becomes the object of affection for a young surfer girl named Kanae. As adults, Takaki and Akari watch the cherry blossoms fall, alone in their memories. 5 Centimeters Per Second does not tell so much a story, but a feeling, a portrait of life and longing captured by a distant train, a melting snowflake, a falling blossom.

Synopsis : 

The story is about the latest by anime prodigy Shinkai Makoto consists of three intertwined stories entitled Oukashou, Cosmonaut, and 5 Centimeters per Second. Departing from his past sci-fi works, 5cm is set on earth, and in city landscapes that are unfamiliar only in their extreme beauty. Average sights like telephone poles and empty streets become the evocative backdrop to narratives of love and disappointment. Subtitled "A chain of short stories about their distance", Shinkai creates sheer poetry out of the tiny but infinite gap between dream and reality. They don't call him the "next Miyazaki" for nothing.
