5cm/s

Can someone explain what the appeal of this is? Don't get me wrong, episode one was beautiful and touching, and the entirety of the film looked so good it may as well be pornographic, but the story/characters were insanely weak. They barely had any development at all!

Are you a newfag? 5cm/s is a movie about mc development through 3 stages. It has one of the most memorable ending scene of all time. The ending insert song was great. Its a bit overrated because we dont have enough stuff about moving on.

It’s a movie about the bittersweet experience of first love and bucking up and moving on.

The appeal is that it doesn't pull any punches about how life can be heartbreakingly painful at times and how we can lose friends or lovers due to time and distance and nothing we could have done would have prevented it. In a medium that often is complacent in escapism and telling you everything will be great and amazing if you just give it your all, it's a breath of fresh air.

> Its a bit overrated because we dont have enough stuff about moving on.
If it had more of this I would have appreciated it more

It's a movie about how men can't move on because they genuinely love while women move on easily because their love is as deep as the make-up they put on their face to make themselves look attractive. Basically, if you want a true relationship with someone who really love you, date men.

Ok. Fag.

Does the girl really move on that easily?

The manga did a pretty good job about this part.

It loses much of it's impact if you are mature enough to already know its message. Still pretty good.

>Its a bit overrated because we dont have enough stuff about moving on.
fucking what? what part is about moving on? the fucking loser wasted all his life pursuing a girl who long forgot him, he never moves on.

It's shit, only normalfags love it because "it will make you cry".

>t. I watched this piece of shit three times because I thought I was missing something turns out it's just overrated trash

How old was he in episode 3?

It boggles my mind that people still don't understand the ending scene after all these years.

27 if I remember correctly, and he's still suffering because he never found his crush when he was 12.

>27
Okay holy shit I get maybe up till 23 but 27?! Jesus man grow a pair and move on! It's hard but not so hard you wait till you're 27!
Explain than genius

Explain it to me, because I fucking hate this movie so goddamn much, perhaps your explanation will help.

I like to say this show/movie is overrated
but by that I mean it isn't 10/10 and its a light 8/10. It's a story of the harsh reality that we all come to face with and I really have to admire how much I could relate to it

>he never moves on.
But he does, that's what the train scene is meant to convey.

Weird way to come out but ok

Yeah I get it, but that scene was horrible, it was such a fucking tease all the time, he spends all her life looking for her and the moment he finds it, he decides it's time to move on.

I hate it when they tried to do the same in Kimi no nawa, which is basically 5cm per second but not as bad, the teasing it's so annoying. I also hated Koe no Katachi, but I really liked the visual more than the others.

It isn't a sad ending. Bittersweet maybe but not sad.
He spends that whole train scene waiting to see if she's there on the other side, just like he spent all of those years wondering what might have been. When she isn't there, he isn't crushed by it. He realizes that it probably wouldn't change anything even if she was there. So he turns around and moves on with his life, finally able to smile again.

The entirety of Makoto Shinkai's works is visually pleasing garbage, IMO. I am including Your Name in this.

Same "plot" of the MC pining after some girl he can't get, pretty shots of scenery that has nothing to do with the story, no meaningful message whatsoever

The best thing about 5cm/s is the title because the plot moves at 5cm/s and it describes its contents accurately

This. I will never get what's so good about hem.

It's just the visuals and the "plot twists" which made him explode

>he spends all her life looking for her and the moment he finds it, he decides it's time to move on.
So the fact that he decides to move on AT SOME POINT immediately makes the moving on point moot? What the fuck.

> is visually pleasing garbage
> shots of scenery that has nothing to do with the story, no meaningful message whatsoever
The is a lot of story telling visually and the twists are usually done via cinematography, not with direct exposition.
So I really don't get your point.

It's not story- or character-driven, it's more about the atmosphere and aesthetic, and that's why I like it.

>I have ADHD

Makoto Shinkai is like the Woody Allen of anime. They're botj essentially one-note manchildren perpetually stuck in a teenager level of maturity who made it big on teenage angst and never grew beyond it. They both have no understanding of human nature and nothing interesting to say except the same juvenile "deep" "philosophical" ramblings. But they have a massive horde of cocksuckers who eat that shit up because they're at the same level of maturity. Even the fanboys are similar in that they will come out to defend their vapid waste if anyone with a brain dares to criticize them.

It's Shitkai, of course story and characters are non-existent.
