Initially I’d wanted to post about Yakitate!! Japan and how ridiculously funny it was, but somehow when I’m not trying to catch up, it doesn’t seem like a very important nor interesting thing to post about :\ Oh and Nobuta ended… in quite a unique way, I thought, but not much to post about either D: And as for KHR… =w= still catching up with the anime, but no high expectations at all. None.
Ahwell, I finally got to watching Byousoku 5 Centimetres, literally 5 Centimetres per Second. The title refers to the supposed speed at which Sakura/Cherry Blossom petals drop, according to Akari, the main character Takaki’s apparent childhood friend and crush.
The movie is split into three chapters/parts, respectively named Oukashou (Extract of the Cherry Blossom), Cosmonaut and finally Byousoku 5 Centimetres, or 5 Centimetres per Second, named after the movie itself. The first part was shown online (pay to watch), and I’d seen it quite a while ago, but not the other two parts. All in all, it was a great movie, but not quite enough to move me. (Hardened heart and all?)
Spoilers ahead… I’ll mostly be recalling what I remember of the movie and comment here and there.
The text on the right reads: At what speed must I live, in order to meet again?
