It's going to be difficult to write about this one
I have mixed feelings with this drama, I love the acting of the three main leads (althought Teacyeon on the first episodes was so cringey), I like the story and every technical aspect but on the other hand plot development was sometimes all over the place and I didn't quite like the rest of the characters wich is a shame because that will make me love this a little bit more, I enjoy the fact that Vincenzo was a real gangster and he actually took revenge, it would've been so bad if he just forgive them so praise to that.
I guess this is one of those dramas you either hate it or love it but you can't deny it's worth watching, I mean, look at the production, not only super expensive but well used of all that money.
Highkey don't want a second season because I don't feel like writing was that good to have a sequel.
Rating: 8.2/10
i dont want to rate it 10, but every time they make a close up shot of SJK's face i just waver. Im sorry pls dont judge me
This was a very beautiful and moving film by Makoto Shinkai. As the title suggests, it is a story about a growing separation and the effects it has on childhood sweethearts, Akari and, in particular, Takaki. Even though it was only an hour long, by the end I felt like I was truly feeling the pain and longing that had dominated Takaki's life for so long. I was initially disappointed by the ending (what can I say, I'm a sucker for happy endings) but after rewatching the film, I really appreciated that they didn't go with the cliché finish. Takaki not being reunited with Akari and finally deciding to move on from his past, which till that point held down and ate away at his life, was far more powerful and resonated with the themes of the film. The animation, art and music were beautiful like in all Makoto Shinkai works. I can't think of a better way to spend an hour of my time (except, of course, maybe sending a text to my long forgotten fling).
Heartbreakingly beautiful. Chokes me up everytime I watch it.
I think this film had a bit of a "slow burn" to it. You could feel the tension and the sadness building in Takaki as the story progressed. All the way up until the ending where he finally sets himself free from wishing about "what could've been." It feels almost painfully slow at times because that's what it felt like to Takaki.
The animation, art, and music was phenomenal; as we come to expect from Shinkai. It was a worthwhile film to watch, and while it doesn't leave me in awe of it's power, it still shared its emotion with me.
