A tale of two people, Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who were close friends but gradually grow farther and farther apart as time moves on. They become separated because of their families yet continue to exchange contact in the form of letters. Yet as time continues to trudge on, their contact with one another begins to cease. Years pass and the rift between them grows ever larger. However, Takaki remembers the times they have shared together, but as life continues to unfold for him, he wonders if he would be given the chance to meet Akari again as the tale embarks on Takaki's realization of the world and people around him.
The quality of the animation and artwork blew me away immediately, it is quite beautiful to watch. The story took a few minutes for me to get into, but it was worth the investment. The chapters are perfectly set, and they will touch but the hardest of hearts.
I thank all those who reviewed this before me because the majority of them were spot on. This film comes highly recommended by me, for all ages.
