Ok lets list some anime conventions; insipid male leads with about as much personality as a bowl of rice, all the female characters are snivelling drips, banal supporting cast, glorious childhood memories, some promise or other that needs fulfilment and dialogue that would make a Furby wince etc etc. Behold "The Place Promised in our Early Days" delivering each in spades. The animation is very well done but is "over done" with every scene seeped in sepias, moonlight etc which I found soon got tiresome. The sci-fi plot is a strange mix of quantum mechanical dream state mumbo jumbo and parallel universes; which while rather silly (sorry all you parapsychologists) is at least quasi-interesting. The musak is dreadful fluffy garbage. I think this ... Read More:

Well, I'll keep this simple...this was a beautiful movie and I highly recommend that you buy it. This movie has 2 Titles; '5 Centimeters per Second', which I think is the European title, and 'A Chain of Short Stories About Their Distance', which is the Asia-Pacific title I think. I bought this movie in China recently and was overwhelmed at how amazing it was. The animation is outstanding (NOT CGI, this is real animation) and the soundtrack is so moving...If you want a faced-paced action block-buster, then this is definitely NOT for you. However, if you want a movie that you actually have to think about during the film and afterwards or a movie that will move you, then this IS for you. Replay value; high! Buy ... Read More:

I am sorry but this film is: pointless poorly animated CG effects are primitive story is at best over-boring good luck for people who purchased it like me.

At first, when I saw the title for this film, I was thinking "oh my god" how sad will this be. But because of increasing boredom at the time I decided to go ahead and watch it. This anime was not sad at all and I regret thinking that at the start. It is truly an amazing piece with a beautifully done and very detailed landscape that will take your breath away and make you wish you lived there. A must watch film.
