Centimeter

The other ones I’ve seen have tended to be mostly style over substance, but 5 CPS manages to strike wonderful balance of alluring visuals and sound with a surprisingly introspective and mature exploration of the central relationship that is excellently paced.

This movie from Makoto Shinkai predates his well-known movies The Garden of Words and Your Name. and contains an atmosphere more critical of romance than either. The animation quality and dialogue is still top-notch and immersive with relatable scenes and issues that each character faces. I feel as if this movie’s themes are more poignant than those found in some of Shinkai’s others works so that took me off-guard, but regardless I think everyone should watch this.

5 Centimeters per Second is composed of three interlinked “episodes” at a runtime of just over 1 hour, so it’s something anyone can watch and digest in an afternoon.

More people actually need to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second. if you watch Your Name before 5CPS, you can actually see so many of the similarities.

I watched 5CPS last night, and I can see where people can hate the ending. The movie depicts having to accept reality and move on, and the ending fits that theme perfectly, but people probably wanted Takaki and Akari to meet one last time (like Your Name lol). Still one of the saddest movies I've ever seen and it was truly heartbreaking to see what happened to Takaki due to being unable to get over Akari.

That being said, there are major similarities between the 2 movies. From depicting a love story between 2 kids to being unable to move on from one another. More notably, the 2 ending scenes of both movies are literally almost the exact same, taking place in the exact same setting in Tokyo and everything. The only differences are that in Your Name, Taki and Mitsuha meet again, with the movie cutting up to the title card, but in 5CPS, Takak

To add some context, my friends and I have this whatsapp group when we talk all kinds of shit and sometimes send porn too. Today someone sent a clip with this Julio Gomez guy and one dude started talking about how "that's too big" and all that. The bad part is that when he guessed the size he said it was like 30 to 40 centimeters, which would be from almost 12 to almost 16 inches.

A guy with his own dick can't imagine how big that would be and realize those numbers are way off. It's kinda sad when people just say a big number and believe that it's possible to be that big.

The other day I sadly knocked my bike over into a corner of the wall and put a small fracture in the top tube of my carbon frame.... the local carbon repair shop quoted me $400-$500 for the repair+paint... no way I’m paying that when I only paid $750 for the whole bike. Any thoughts or input on repairing carbon fiber yourself? Is it possible to do it well enough to be 100% safe? The fracture is very small, only 1.5 cm in length, kind of a U-shaped crack. Also, should I stop riding on it, no exceptions? Any input it is greatly appreciated.

Would it be possible to do very precise tracking of the motion of a perfectly flat QR code (for example printed on hard material) which moves up and down, left or right etc away and toward a fixed camera - meaning that you get the QR code's exact movement centimeter by centimeter or millimeter by millimeter?

What's the easiest way of doing this? The QR code is of known size, or I can make one to your specifications.

Can someone explain to me what the point of this movie was. That sounds weird to say but I kind of expected something at the end except it felt like they just chopped off the conclusion to the story where it all might tie together. I might have missed something but to me it didnt seem like the story really ended.

Thanks in advance :)

What the??? I seriously have to take it all over, for like 2 missed questions? lol, It was a good run though. I feel like I finally see what they're asking.
