Vibrant Trailer for '5 Centimeters Per Second' Live-Action Anime Movie

"I'm searching everywhere for that feeling I seem to have lost." GKids has revealed an official trailer for the movie called 5 Centimeters Per Second, another new live-action anime adaptation this year. Hirokazu Koreeda just made his own live-action version of the anime Look Back, which recently premiered (and it's amazing). The original 5 Centimeters Per Second anime film, directed by Makoto Shinkai, originally opened back in 2007. This live-action version is very similar, basically another shot-for-shot update. In the movie, Takaki tells the story of his life as changing times test his romantic feelings. The poignant exploration of growing up and past connections is brought to life this time by director Yoshiyuki Okuyama. 5 Centimeters Per Second is a remarkably beautiful tribute to the way mere moments can come to define our lives. This version stars Hokuto Matsumura as Takaki, Mitsuki Takahata, Nana Mori, and Mai Kiryû. This is a very simple trailer but it teases the vibrant style and story taking us through all these moments in Takaki's life that are so important to him. I just hope it's as good as the Look Back movie. Out in the US this October. // Continue Reading ›
