That's PRECISELY what I was gonna say, laugh included. 5 cms. per second's ending is the PERFECT CROWNING TOUCH. Get more life (if ever) and you maaaay understand, TC. Until then, please stick to the guy with the stupid flame in his head.

I was gonna tell TC how dumb he was for not liking 5cm's ending, but I'm glad I didn't... you guys did it way better than I ever could've. :lol:
 
Go watch The Place Promised In Our Early Days for a great ending. That's the better film.

I've already seen The Place Promised In Our Early Days, and that's a negative. 5cm is the best of Makoto Shinkai's films and has the best ending (not including his latest, which I haven't seen yet).
 
Nothing freaking happened, nothing. There is all this buildup, and nothing happens at all, just nothing. Not him getting with the girl, not him even saying a word to her, or one of them dying. I can see why this is called a very controversial ending by many, and why in the comments on CR, people were saying for like The Place Promised In Our Early Days (Which CR for some reason divided into 4 parts.) "Please don't turn out like 5 Centimeters Per Second.", and I saw many complaints for the ending in the comments for 5 Centimeters Per Second as well.

It's more controversial than the ending to Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection which is the reason why this OVA gets a lot of hate from many passionate Rurouni Kenshin fans. The original creator even hates it.
 
Well, you see TC. That's how real life goes. 5 centimeters per second isn't about him getting the girl, or someone dying. It's about separating as life goes on, moving apart. And that's the reason why it's so sad. People have experienced moving apart from someone as they age, so it touches those kinds of people. I'm sorry that you don't have enough life or social experience to understand this.
 
So in real life, all of us end up living forever alone as we never get with any girl we like. That's how it always goes in real life for everyone!:dopey:

I've had it happened. I've had friends move away who I haven't seen since, and lost contact with them completely. I've also had neighbors I knew well move away.

I'm also going to next year experience what pretty much everyone who graduates high school experiences, getting scattered where you either lose touch with your friends, or you don't ever really see them much again for years.

See, it's dumb little comments like this that make it obvious that you just dislike sad/bittersweet endings.

There's waaaaay more anime and movies where the guy gets the girl and lives happily ever after, but apparently it's blasphemy to you for a couple of 'em to depict something less ideal.
 
Uh, that's pretty much false considering I liked the endings to Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, and Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection which are both quite sad (Reflection's ending being very controversial due to this. The original creator even despises Reflection's ending.). They both made me shed tears.
 
@TC... What has just been seen... Holy hell.... that's taking to the extreme! :crazy: --- Randy

5 Centimeters Per Second, WTF is with the ending? This is one of the worst endings I've EVER seen. That ending completely killed that 9/10 possibility that came in for me early on, and up until that ending showed up.

Overall, 8/10.

No happy ending =/= bad ending.

Also, just dropping by to say hi to y'all :)

From a guy that has suffered this precise circumstance and who, as in the movie, turns to where her house is every single freaking time I pass trough the neighborhood, I can tell you, that is PRECISELY why the end of this movie is so amazingly well achieved. It's the very same, exact feeling of desolation and "got damn waht could have been..." and the exact feeling that, even if I'm married already and have been for years now, as her in the movie, I cannot forget her nor stop thinking about what could have been. As I said, get moar life and you might as well understand it one day... though I hope you don't. That's something I wouldn't wish to anyone.

Oh noes, some people moved while you are a kid.

Have your parents die, the sibling move away, your friends scatter to wind as life takes them on their way, and you yourself move around a bunch.

The fact is, real life things constantly change and it doesn't work out how it does in stories. Which is why they are stories. An ending that mimics reality is an ending that will touch many people in a true and sincere way.

Except you are staying in the same place and planning to live with your parents. And I have this feeling not all of your high school friend(s) are moving off to university or else where anyhow. So like high school, you'll have a deluded version of that experience.

Though I think I should probably watch 5cm it sounds like, seeing how the only person disliking it is TC, and it still got a 8/10, so it can't be that bad :P

Indeed.

Clannad ramblings here, mainly on the ending for it and After Story
The ending for Clannad was nice because it was just like, yup, life is happening with no real conclusion.

After Story was really good up till the very end, because it was just how unfair life can truly be. Perhaps overly so, but I've seen sadder stories in person, so it wasn't insane. What kind of made disenchanted with it was the "okay, now its sad, so lets fix everything with magic" ending.

And thus because more interested in the Kyou alternate universe bit. Minus where she cut her hair, god dammit.
