“Takaki and Akari are two classmates in elementary school. During their time together they have become close friends. Their relationship is tested when Akari moves to another city because of her parents’ jobs. Both of them struggle to keep their friendship alive, as time and distance slowly pulls them apart.

    I really loved 5 Centimeters per Second and I consider the quality was remarkable. It is such a great movie I will probably watch it again later today or tomorrow. I reckon its just about the right duration for a feature picture and the story is quite good right to the conclusion. Thank you very much for putting it on your website.

I see you have more than 8000 now which is a lot. I have never come across a site with so many to choose from. I hope you keep up the great work.
