Hm..well, the third and last part of this movie completely blew me away, it shares the name with the whole movie, 5cm per second.
The ending is very unexpected. Just read the summary and you know what I mean.

Chapter 3- "5 centimeters per second"

Now 9 years has passed, The grown up Takaki has moved to Tokyo and appears to be working as a programmer. As a cheery blossom patal falls onto his desk, he stops typing on his keyboard and look at the petal, he seems to be remember something as he gazes out the window. He goes out for a walk at the very same palce he spent his childhood days with Akari. As he walks past the train crossing, he has a strong feeling that he will see Akari again.

A cherry blossom petal stops Takaki from working.


Later that night on his way home from work. Takaki gets a phone call from a girl. He doesn't answer. The next morning, a grown up Akari is together with her parents at the train station. It seems that she's leaving to make preparation for her wedding. (Not with Takaki of course.)

The train arrived, she hops onto the train and after finishing reading her book, she then gazes out the window. Akari has a dream last night of when she and Takaki were still young children. She has no idea why she has this dream , and seen to have been bacause she found the letter she wrote long ago.(Yup, remember the letter to Takaki in Chapter 1 ? Yes, is the same letter.)

The grown up Akari.

The grown up Akari had a dream. It must have been the old love letter she found again.

Well, back at Takaki's messy apartment, he receives another message from his new girlfriend. It seems that they haven't got in touch for sometime and there's something that she need to tells him. We learn her name is "Risa Mizuno" and its clear that Takaki is not going to meet her. Just living his life is filling with sadness right now. He soon then receives another message from MIzuno saying she still loves him even now. Apperantly, we learn that they have been together for 3 years now. But Takaki thinks that with the 1000 SMS they have exchange, they will still couldn’t get any closer together than 1cm apart. As they days goes by, Takaki continues to drown himself in work but ddun know what he’s really after. Soon realising how tired he was, he finally quit his job.
He has no life. Emo . LOL
For 3 years Takaki had a new girlfriend but it seems it didn’t workout.


At night, Takaki walks into a convenient store and picks up a magazine showing how the satellite he saw 9 years ago with Kanae had now flown beyond the solar system. He and Akari has alsoo been having the same dream. The dream when they were still 13 years old and walking in the snow fields knowing one day they will be able to see the cherry blossoms falling together again.
The ELISH satellite that Takaki saw launching into space finally reaches outside the solar system.


The song “One More Time, One More Chance” by Masayoshi Yamazaki breaks out and there is a flash of past and present scenes.Well, is like an AMV really. We see Takaki wandering around alone in Tokyo while Akari meets up happily with her future husband. Their relationship had been long dwindled awayy but life goes on for the two and the memories will remain with them. =(

Takaki continues to dwell in the past and drinks alone…
…Akari meets up happily with her future husband. Damn it..XD
unhealthy lifestyle...he can just died of lung cancer already..xD
Akari has moved on but remembers those cherry blossom childhood days.

Takaki also smiles remembering how cherry blossoms fall at“5 centimetres per second”.

The ending-

Takaki goes out and sees the face of a familiar-looking woman at a railroad-crossing. Puzzled by the encounter, he tries to look back, but a train comes and cuts off his view. At the end, as the train finally passes by, the girl has vanished, and Takaki walks off.

Here are some screenshots of the ending..

Bring back memories...

Their childhood place....

*Picture below*.. when they were still young children.

Sigh, a rather sad story, no??? Well, The movie is really great in my opinion, the style is very much similar to Hoshi no Koe, just longer and much more heartbreaking somehow. The music by Tenmon is his best work so far, it's really nice to listen to. I listened to the music before I watched the movie actually,The music could tell a really good story on its own.What else can I say.. the movie was really nicely done, colors and the execution was excellent, the artwork is really nice too, well, not surprising I guess. It really is a great movie, I've watched it so many times,T_T especially the AMV...so GODLY...simple yet beautiful...... I m starting to wonder if it is addictive. Thank you Makoto Shinkai (and Tenmon!) Arigatou..Kami-sama lol..., for this great movie.I felt that perhaps one reason I like this movie so much is because, it's really easy to relate to. How many friends have we started out with, and eventually drifted apart along the path of time??? Nothing really lasts in the end. No matter how hard we try to stay together, we will still drift apart like cherry blossom petals. It makes us wonder if time is a blessing, or a curse. how sad it is, to have someone close and to drift apart from in the end, to not being able to say goodbye and not being able to do so ever again, to not being able to say the things you always wanted to say to the person who's most important to you, to feel close to someone when that person was never ever close to you... to be alone in the end and be haunted by memories that can never return, and to wait an eternity hoping we could just drift back together but know that it will never happen.... How sad it is, when you realise, life is like this, and the only thing you can do is to drift further and further away.... drifting apart like Cherry Blossom Petals at the rate of 5 Centimeter Per Second. Ok ok, enough of this nonsense, lol...anyway, for what I say earlier, the ending was very unexpected, I hope that the manga has a much more better ending than the anime, just like Hoshi no Koe. And I was hoping that they would get back together but, it didn’t happen hence the sadness.T_T It seemed Takaki continued to dwell on his feelings towards Akari but she on the other hand, had moved on. I'm telling you, Takaki has no life.. he can just died of lung cancer. LOL and seriously, I felt like throwing something at the screen when I first saw the ending. It was a beautiful movie though. -.-' It was upsetting, but it's different for an ending to a romance-type movie. It's good to see some diversity within films like this. Usually, the couple is reunited somehow.. Even though I prefer that they are together at the end, being separated by a simple train is very interesting.xD.. I also actually think that this movie, some parts were done better in his previous one, 'Beyond the clouds. The promised place'.But yeah, backgrounds are his (Makoto) thing.

Hmm, I wonder what would happen if Takaki was walking around and he saw Akari's wedding ceremony. I bet He would run into the ceremony and beat the other guy up and then marry Akari. That would be an awesome ending...LOL xD.

Part 2 ( Spoilers )

Well, Let's continue the summary of 5cm per seconds

Chapter 2- Cosmonaut

This chapter starts with Takaki has a strange dream of walking up the hill with a girl. At the top of the hill, they were surrouded by an "outer-space" sky to watch sunrise. The scenes then quickly switchs to Takaki practising archery early in the morning at school in his new home on Tanegashima. A girl named Kanae Sumita is driving her to school with her scooter and it seems she's going early to school on purpose to meet Takaki. Then it turns out that Kanae has a secret crush on Takaki and she just can't stop thinking abt him.

Takaki has a secret admirer, Kanae Sumita

During lunch break, Kanae's friends tease her that Takaki may have a girlfriend in Tokyo. After school, Kanae pretends to be just going back around the same time as Takaki. They ride home side bu side on their scooter. Kanae is very happy that she could be with Takaki alone and think to herself ." If I had tail like a dog,I'd swing it right away. But I feel relived that I'm not a dog,as I think abt how silly I am. Even so, I feel happy when I come home together with Tohno-kun"

Kanae’s friends tease her saying Takaki probably has a girlfriend already.

Kanae then thinks back to the time when she fell for him in junior high year two. That time Takaki had just transferred over but she felt there was something different about him from other boys. As time went on, she studied hard just to get into the same junior high school as Takaki. Now the more she sees him, the more she’s in love with him.

Kanae worked hard to get into the same senior high school as Takaki.

Back to the present, Takaki and Kanae arrive at their usual convenience store to buy something to drink. Takaki picks up his usual drink and wait for her outside while Kanae spends sometime picking. When she finally pays and leaves the store, she finds Takaki writing an e-mail to someone as usual. It wasn’t the first time she saw him doing this and it always made her feel uncomfortable. If only the person he was e-mailing was her.

The next day, Kanae gets called into the school office for being the only one not filling out a future plans form out of the entire third year class. Then a classmate of Takaki wonders why his girlfriend was being called into the office. Takaki denies Kanae is his girlfriend. Inside the office, Kanae doesn’t know how to answer the teacher. She hadn’t thought about her future yet.

Kanae still doesn’t know what her future plans are.

Later that evening, Kanae goes to practise surfing. She thinks about how she wasn’t making any progress in any of the things she’s being doing so far. She hasn’t been able to surf after being taught by her older sister and hasn’t even become Takaki’s girlfriend. She finishes up and rides home but finds Takaki’s scooter parked at the side of the road along the way. She finds him sitting on a hill smiling and writing another e-mail on his phone again.

Takaki sitting out in the night typing up an e-mail to someone.

Sitting next to each other, they talk for a moment about their future and Takaki tells her he plans to go to university in Tokyo. On the other hand, Kanae still didn’t know what she was going to do. She folds up her questionaire into a paper airplane and throws it away. After hat, they head home only to be stopped by a roadblock. The latest space exploration satellite was being transported and was going to be launched to travel beyond the solar system.

The satellite being transported.

Back in Takaki home, he appears to be writing an e-mail to someone about having that same dream again. Perhaps to Akari? In the previous dream, he was walking with a girl and couldn’t see her face as usual. But there was something nostalgic about it. Just as he is abt to enter an address, he cancels them. He then ask himself how long it been since he had this habit of writing e-mails with no addressee filled in.

It seems Takaki has broke off contact with Akari for some time now.

The next day, the weather was much better and a little cooler. Kanae sets out to practise surfing again. Kanae’s sister asks if she has any plans for her future yet but she didn’t. However, she thinks it’s fine that way and just wants to do whatever she can one thing at a time. She runs out to surf and unlike earlier, she could ride the waves this time. It been half a year before she managed it.

Kanae manages to surf.

Back at school, Kanae was in a good mood and had decided the thing to do was to confess her love too to Takaki. If she couldn’t do it now, she’ll never be able to do it. After school, Kanae waits for Takaki again and they drops by at the usual convenience store. While picking their drinks, Kanae looks up hoping to see Takaki looking at her but is disappointed. When they try leaving on their scooters, Kanae’s one can’t move. Takaki decides to walk her home.

Disappointed, Takaki isn’t looking at her. Poor Kanae X)

Walking along the path under the afternoon sun, neither of the two speak. Kanae looks over at Takaki but again, he isn’t looking at her. The wind blows by. Kanae can’t stand it any longer and begins to cry as she realises something. As she struggles to hold back the tears, she begs Takaki not to be so nice to her.

Again, on there walk back Takaki isn’t looking at her. X)

The moment of confusion is broken as the satellite is launched. As Kanae and Takaki stands staring into the sky, she notices how he has always gazed into the distance as if searching for something. She also understands why she saw Takaki differently from the other boys. At the same time, she also realises that he had never really set eyes on her. That is why she couldn’t confess her love to him. To Kanae, Takaki was a very nice guy but he was always looking for someone else far far away. Far away from Kanae. Even so, she will always love Takaki. Chapter 2 end.

The satellite is being lauched into outer-space

Takaki’s dream with a “mysterious” girl.

The mysterious girl turn out to be Akari

" Even so I like Tohno-kun even after today, the day after tomorrow,forever. Only Tohno-kun is on my mind,as I fall asleep."

My thoughts on Chapter 2

hm...What can I say about this chapter? Well, as usual the art is awesooommeee. very impressive ^ ^. What make me like this chapter even more is the BIG resemblance to reality. wow. This chapter has the best background art out of the 3 chapter. I also like how Kanae trying her best to confessed her feeling to Takaki, then how she finally realize that he never even once set eyes on her, and in the end never confessed to him. Thus wasting all her effort just to get close to him. All in all I would say that Chapter 2 is my favourite out of the 3. BTW, I prefered Kanae with long hair. X)

On to the screenshots for Chapter 2!
