Commentary Toward Books 5 Centimeters per Second (秒速5センチメートル / Byousoku 5 Centimeter #1-2)

Based on the Multiple Award Winning Film Remember a time before cell phones could be found in every pocket? Or when even accessing the world wide web was something only readily available in a library? Back then letters still filled up postboxes and moments just felt so much more precious when captured on Polaroid film. Now life seems to move at the speed of light. Our memories are captured and shared with the world on social media platforms. And love, which is already capricious, can feel like it is moving at terminal velocity. In Makoto Shinkai’s defining work, the internationally renowned director and animator unfolds a love story that is as timeless as it is fleeting. Yukiko Seike’s rendition of this modern classic adds a new level of emotion and intimacy that is unique to its source material.

Prelim Review: Er...okay straight up I love Shinkai's movies. I love all of them--they are some of the most thought-provoking, gorgeous and wonderfully scripted anime movies I've seen (next to the Ghibli/Miyazaki stuff). 5 Centimeters Per Second is not my favorite (that's reserved for 'The Place Promised in our Early days'), but I've still seen it enough to repeat some of the lines. In Japanese.That said, this is a very faithful and thoughtful adaptation of that movie. It manages to bridge some

This is a beautifully written and heartbreaking story. The author does a amazing job of showing the fault of building a person up your mind, until they become more than a person, at least to you. This is shown through Takaki, the main character in the story who fell in love with a a girl in elementary school. After promising and failing to keep in touch as the years went by due to both having moved away from each other, he lets this idea of her and the feelings he once had build up to the point

What the...? Im so freaking mad!

That ending:Hi. I bought this book because my friend said it was really beautiful (potentially feelsy) and since I am a masochistic prick, of course I bought it. I wanted to read something fast, easy and heartbreaking. Boy, was this heartbreaking... The thing that is so heartbreaking is not that they might never see each other again, but that it was so uncertain of... everything.(view spoiler)[Takaki had lost himself while losing Akari, and he could never open up to anyone... He kept hurting



Edit- Upping the ratings to four stars because so many days and books later, I still catch myself thinking about it at the oddest moments. My greatest quibble was the ending (still is) but upon serious reflection, I've decided that I wouldn't have it any other way because that's how life is! Relationships are messy things- they don't always go the way you want them to. You meet people, you grow to love them, you learn a great number of things from each other and there's always a solid chance

Beautiful art, but this didnt really have a plot. Im still going to watch the movie, but this sort of felt like a whole lotta nothing
