5 centimeters per second(秒速５センチメートル)


5 centimeters per second-A Chain of short stories about thier distance, isn't just any other anime movie.It IS one of the BEST Anime movies out there.5 centimeters per second is a masterpiece of a work by director Makato Shinkai who is well known for his earlier works(She & her cat,Voices of a distant star,The place promised in our Early days).The movie is seen a crucial departure from his earlier works in which futuristic themes provided the background settings of his movies.5 centimeters per second ignores all that and focuses on a realistic theme and setting.The name of the movie 5 centimeters per second i.e why the movie is named such is revealed in the first scene of the movie in which Akari one of the lead characters quotes that "5 centimeters per second is the speed at which cherry blossoms fall".The main story of the movie deals with the lead characters Akari Shinohara (篠原明里),& Takaki Tohno (遠野貴樹)who are in love with each other and how they struggle to maintain their relationship against distance and time.The movie has been divided into 3 episodes.Each episode dealing with a certain part of the life of the lead characters.The episodes in the movie are:

-Episode 1:Cherry Blossoms
-Episode 2:Cosmonaut
-Episode 3:5 centimeters per second

A unique thing about the movie is the movie does not have any particular plot twist nor a very extraordinary storyline.The story focuses more on the relationships and emotions of the characters which makes it main selling point of the movie.The artwork in the movie is excellent and Makato Shinkai does not leave the viewer any room for doubt at all.
Overall the movie is an excellent departure from the normally excessive drama in Shoujo anime and excessively nonsense action in most shounen anime.One must seriously give it a watch!!

BTW the movie also has an excellent soundtrack,which fitted well with the scenes.
(I know the movie is a bit old ,but the movie is so good that I just had write something about this movie!!)

Relife

So, it's finally over. Relife officially ended with it's 222nd chapter.  Relife was a manga I read by accident tbh. Not in the sense that I randomly picked it up, but it in the sense that the manga turned into something completely different than what I had intended it to be. With the premise set up to guiltrip people who are in the late 20's, relife did an excellent job of this throughout. Though, there were many times the story's pacing and direction was all over the place. Not to mention the science behind the Relife experiment, which when explained was honestly borderline stupid. But, what Relife great was it's characters, and the recurring theme of regrets . This all came into place especially in the last arc of the Manga where the mangaka did a stellar job giving some excellent tear jerking moments and despairing the readers of the idea of a forbidden/unachievable romance. It was romance done right in a Manga, something that I haven't seen in a long time. ...

Saekano ( How to raise a boring girlfriend)

I tend to watch underrated Anime once in a while. There's always a hit and miss in doing so. Some turn out good, some turn out trash and some are like Saekano. Also, known as 'How to raise a boring girlfriend' , this show completely polarized my opinion of it till the end. For starters, there was forced ecchi fanservice was clearly unneeded for a show which was clearly trying to be a serious slice of life anime, but clearly what troubled me the most on the direction the show was heading. The first season for the most was mediocre, but not bad. The problem was in the second season where the show turned itself upside down, to the point I felt it lost its flavor and made me rage a bit about certain developments in the plot towards the end. One thing going good for it though was it's character development, which was really good. The show even though ended well, was pretty much really saved by the best girl of the show, who was there for MC at the end. The character developm...
