Part of the reason that I, at least, like anime is that sometimes it can show us the most idealistic tendencies we have as reality. I personally do hope that love would exist for ten years or more. So seeing it in an anime is something I would like. Is it realistic? I dunno...

But in regards to the this film itself, well I never felt that the characters were adequately made to be cared about in a significant way (I used the term "blank slates" in a previous post) and that the director focused more on evoking "snapshots" of certain feelings and atmosphere through different devices...... Perhaps if they had really made me care about the characters I wouldn't even question that devotion.

Just my opinion.
