Possibly Shinkai's best work so far, and as a massive fan of both 5cm and Garden of Words I do not say that lightly. The animation is breathtaking as always but some scenes go beyond mere visual splendor and are just mesmerizing. The characters are so fun to be around and you'll find yourself rooting for them and hoping it all works out. I was slightly concerned when I saw the "boob fondling" scene in the trailer but even that becomes a genuinely charming gag throughout the movie, believe it or not!

As to be expected of Shinkai, the film also takes you on a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows and keeps you guessing how it will end until pretty much the last minute.

I cannot recommend this enough.

The music, animation, story. Absolutely beautiful movie <3

The music in this movie is great. I came at this movie with no idea what to expect, I'm not even sure where it came from. But I sat down to watch it tonight and the first thing that caught me was the music. The next thing that caught me was the way the story kept going back on itself to slowly unfold the histories of the characters.

I don't think I'll watch it again unless someone else wanted too, but I'm absolutely glad I watched it.

I'm surprised by how well this works. The cast is the best part. Everyone just plays so well off each other.

I loved the movie! It was really fun to watch from beginning to the end. The cast was perfect and the whole story is just so amazing and funny! The fact that it's after a true story is just so adorable and amazing! The ending really hit me in the heart, but I loved it and the ending scenes where we even got to see a few clips from the real-life event. Great work I really have nothing bad to say, I don't even mind that it finished with a kind of a cliff-hanger even though I HATE those.
