As adults, Takaki and Akari watch the cherry blossoms fall, alone in their memories. In his high school years, he becomes the object of affection for a young surfer girl named Kanae. When Takaki moves far away, it marks the end of his childhood and an unforgettable friendship.

They first meet as fourth-graders, lonely souls who love the same books and become the best of friends. Split into three episodes, 5 Centimenters Per Second follows the tender romance and coming-of-age of Takaki and Akari. 5 Centimeters Per Second continues with the soft, dreamy aesthetic and bittersweet adolescent sentiments of Shinkai's previous works, but this time he moves away from the sci-fi themes, reveling in the lingering beauty of the everyday. The title refers to the speed at which cherry blossoms fall to the ground, a fitting image of the film's delicate, lyrical splendor. a chain of short stories about their distance. Though these are no easy expectations to live up to, Shinkai has shown that the hype is well deserved with his 2004 follow-up The Place Promised Our Early Days and now 5 Centimeters Per Second, a.k.a. Since the release of his award-winning short Voices From a Distant Star in 2002, visionary animator Shinkai Makoto has been earmarked as the future of Japanese animation, the next Miyazaki.
