Many good anime movies shy away from action, blood and violence, instead opting to tell simple love stories. Byousoku 5 Centimeter is one of the most famous, telling the cliche tale of long-distance relationships. However, this isn't your average romantic film. Made up of several short stories, the different emotions that the two characters experience throughout the film - friendship, love, despair, anger, heartbreak - are portrayed in such a familiar way, they are truly painful to watch. This is absolutely one of the best anime movies available, a must watch for any true anime fan!
