I just ordered my copy of Byousoku 5 senchimetoru and I’m so super excited!

5 Centimeters per second is a movie comprised of 3 short stories. I think I’ll just borrow The Triad’s synopsis:

After having graduated from elementary school, Tohno Takaki and Shinohara Akari became separated. Time has passed, but the same cannot be said for the special feelings they’ve kept to themselves. One day during a blizzard, Takaki finally goes to see Akari…
