Is this going to be another feel trip? I'm not sure I can handle it anymore...

Infinite Zenith · 2015-12-10, 23:43

Knowing Makoto Shinkai, most likely

"...and it was worth it, every last second."

The trailer looks promising, I'm curious to see how it'll turn out, seeing as there could be some astronomical or supernatural phenomenon as part of the story.

Time to get HYPED.

Are you trying to imitate lyeton Hewitt?

Speak for yourself! I watch the first part of 5 CM over and over.

Infinite Zenith · 2015-12-11, 11:43

Incidentally, is the running time known?

For myself I have watched the movie a few times and thought it was downright moving...no devaluation in its rewatchability in my case.

I was quoting the reaction of a good acquaintance of mine, to be fair. ^^

I can't get over how good that iPhone looks. It looks better than in real-life

Come on. I've watched 5cm per Second more times than I can count. Hits me hard every time.

I've waxed at length on this phenomenon before - I call it the Shinkai "more real than real" effect. It's not as though Shinkai goes for photographic accuracy - rather, he seems to somehow find the Platonic, elemental essence of real things and express it visually. I've never seen the like in animation.

I think Shinkai is going to be at risk of being a one trick pony. He tried expanding his style and now he's basically gave up on it. This just feels like all his other movies. Beautiful sky porn, sure, but that simply doesn't excite or move me anymore.

And stupidly detailed interior shots, don't forget

I think I should stay away from certain parts of the Internet (particularly certain parts of twitter) because I've been seeing a lot of criticism regarding shinkai not because of his stories which I can see why (despite not agreeing)it would annoy people but his visuals... such as his digital and post processing. Like what in the actual fuck. That's like one of the best things if not the best part of shinkai.

Then again these comments were largely said by tweeters who are massive fans of Kyoto animation and claim they have the best animation techniques in Japan so I'm dumb for letting them affect me.

Anyways back on topic. It looks fantastic but I'm hoping it will have a bigger impact on me emotionally than garden of words. Garden of words was a very pleading movie to watch on the eyes but I felt something that was missing in particular the ending.

All aboard the feel train!

For some reason 5cm/s didn't hit me as hard as Kumo no mukou, yakusoku no basho did, well perhaps it was the sci-fi elements in the latter that did it.

Starfall? Hope it's another sci-fi piece!

Same here. I don't get all the hype about 5 cm/s but in general I like Kumo no Mukou and Hoshi no Koe. Although I still think that Shinkai is a good artist and decent director but quite bad scriptwriter so he better to make short videos not full-length films.

germanturkey · 2015-12-23, 23:27

oh my god those visuals. promised place probably didn't get as much recognition because if people watch it once and don't fully understand it, the time skip and overall timeline will make it confusing for them. whereas 5 cm/s is linear and it develops the story front to back.
