Despite loving anime, I only recently watched #5CentimetersPerSecond It made me reflect on the friendships I’ve had, and how people change from childhood to adulthood.

Have you watched it? Let me know!

Cover image of carousel with a red background. Title says "5 centimeters Per second", subtitle says "a tale of love, nostalgia, and life. Description says: "a review of the anime film 5 centimeters Per second, and how it touches upon the changing nature of relationships." Bottom includes substack username Musingsofanartist for people to follow.

2nd carousel slide of 5 centimeters per second movie review. Top half is made up of a collage a created during the 100 day project when I was inspired by the main characters of the film. Bottom half is the review saying "at its core, the story is about how relationships, especially those in childhood and adolescence, evolve or fade away, particularly as people grow older and circumstances change. To compare it your Your Name, 5 Centimeters Per Second lands harder on the bitter side of bittersweet, as (spoilers) Tohno never reunites with his childhood love. But the catharsis comes with how he is no longer bound to the past. He realises, with his own free will, that he can choose his own future, wherever that might lead."

3rd slide of carousel. It says "the film meanders, philosophies, and characters frequently monologue - to the point it seems like it is trying to be a visual novel instead of a movie. The animation is also dated to some extent, being less fluid, and certain shots look like they came out of a vintage camera. It gives the movie a retro feel, notably with characters using flip phones. It's like you've gained a snapshot of the past - literally."

Last slide with call to action: Read the full article on Substack.

Someone just compared #StillShining with #5CentimetersPerSecond and it just shot my hype-meter for this #kdrama to a level I didn't know I have before today.

Makoto Shinkai is one of my favourite filmmaker, I consumed all of his anime and loved every single one of it.

I hated every second I spent writing this 18000 word post on #5CentimetersPerSecond, nature's strongest love story, since it forced me to confront my reality, but at the same time, addressing things that make us uncomfortable is how we grow.

I'm Infinite Zenith, and I'm back for a rematch with Makoto Shinkai's #5CentimetersPerSecond. This time, I bring with me the equivalent of an entire nuclear carrier group's worth of firepower in terms of life experience, which I will turn towards analysing this iconic film.
