Have you heard about this anime before? Does this art style feels familiar to you?
One of Makoto Shinkai's earliest cinematic masterpieces, 5 Centimeters Per Second is also one of his most heartbreaking.
When Akari Shinohara's family uproots, it puts a wrench in the growing romance between her best friend, Takaki Toono, and her. Now that he knows he'll be leaving, too, Takaki makes one final attempt to see Akari before he leaves.
Even though Akari and Takaki have one last moment before their lives go very different paths, they are well aware that their growing apart is inevitable.
The scene's seeming joy is only skin deep, though the underlying sadness is heartbreaking.
