You could simply read the script and get the entire story. ![]() For example, the first of the movie's three episodes begins, after a snippet of dialogue, with a series of read letters while you watch their receiver go about his day. The bulk of the episode is a train ride in which his anxiety over train delays is expressed mainly by hearing his thoughts about how anxious he is. Shut your eyes, and you wouldn't miss a bit of story. You would, admittedly, miss some really stunning animation. This movie is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning backdrops that will take your breath away. The story itself is moderately interesting, a slice of life contemplation of time and desire and feelings of loss. And while the movie has some emotional impact, most of it is contained in a final music video-style piece whose combination of lyrics and images would be almost as effective without the hour of story preceding them. Most of the people writing reviews here find this movie deeply moving, and I do understand why. The situations are sad, the images are pretty, and a sense of melancholy hangs over the whole thing. But for me, it was too slow, too wordy, and lacked the things that, for me, make film so powerful. This, for me, is quite probably one of the most touching animes that I have ever seen and one of the more heartfelt pieces of cinema that I have ever experienced. Basically, 5cm Per Second is a short movies split up into 3 episodes, the first one being 30 min, the second one 20 min, and the last one 15 min. Each of these three episodes portrays a pair of people and their relationship during childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The story that it has is very simple and could be summarized in a few sentences but that is not the point of this series. The real point is the volumes of material that could be written about the emotion, feeling, and beauty that can found in this masterpiece. As you watch this, you will be able to distinctly feel for these characters and you will be able to connect with them as if you actually knew them because of how human and relatable they feel. You will be able to feel exactly the same as they do because in your childhood you will have felt precisely the same at some point and this connection comes through wonderfully. Only adding to this sense of wonder is what might by some of the better pacing in a series to date. Simply the way the characters progress and the way that it seemingly ends as soon as it starts will haunt you for hours or days afterwards. If youtube sells a one time purchase for this dub of the film in its entirety I'd happily purchase that.What strongly supports this anime is the excellent animation which stunning and the music, which while not jaw-droppingly amazing, still does not leave anything to be desired. If anyone has a source, preferably a youtube vid, I would greatly appreciate it. Takaki's final line to me reflects his current regret, it sounds like he realizes that these beliefs, which they once held so dearly, were just a fantasy long forgotten.īut my reasons aside I really want to have access to this version of the ending again. Up until this point, both characters recall how sure they were of their convictions, how strongly they believed they would meet again some day and pick up where they left off. I prefer this dub as it includes the final line which the other dub doesn't have. "That we would go see the cherry blossoms together again some day" "And our footprints were the only ones to see, in all of that freshly fallen snow. "We could barely make out the far away lights of houses in the distance" "There was a vast field, completely covered in snow" "In the dream, we were still thirteen years old" I've seen the scene enough times that I can recall the last lines pretty accurately I think, which is crucial as there's another dub which is also great but not the one I'm looking for. ![]() ![]() I'm asking if anyone has a source for specifically the ending, including the final voice over dialogue, from the dub I first saw the film in. On youtube the dub I had rewatched countless times has been removed, and my searches for this final scene in this dub have been in vain. This one voice-over dialogue, even more so than the closing song or the final scene, is the most emotional for me. I used to watch the end scene, when "One more time, One more chance" begins playing in the convenience store's radio often in the original dub. When I first watched 5cm per second years ago I had watched a certain dubbed version, and it's this particular dub that I hold the most nostalgia towards. ![]() I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask (please point me in the right direction), but it's my cake day and I'm drunk and suddenly wanted to revisit one of my favorite movies of all time.
