Makoto Shinkai has become one of the most original voices in anime over the years. Through films like Children Who Chase Lost Voices (2011), Your Name (2016), Weathering with You (2019) and Suzume (2022) Shinkai has built a body of work that bears his own signature, steering away both from more action-packed anime films, as well as from Ghibli-inspired fantasy films. Shinkai’s films have a quietness of their own and focus on young protagonists finding their way in the world, often with the uncertainties of modern life as their backdrop. Now Kaboom Anime presents a unique chance to see two of Shinkai’s mid-length films on the big screen. 5 Centimeters per Second (2007) tells the story of Takaki and Akari’s friendship, which is put to the test when one of them moves away. In The Garden of Words (2013), a teenager who skips school and a woman who avoids going to her job meet in a public park on rainy days. What unites these films is Shinkai’s subtle approach to emotions like loss, longing and uncertainty. 5 Centimeter per Second and The Garden of Words are essential viewing for all Makoto Shinkai fans.

Storyline

5 Centimeter per Second: Three moments in Takaki’s life: his relationship with Akari and their forced separation; his friendship with Kanae, who is secretly in love with him; the demands and disappointments of adulthood, an unhappy life in a cold city.

The Garden of Words: Takao, who is training to become a shoemaker, skipped school and is sketching shoes in a Japanese-style garden. He meets a mysterious woman, Yukino, who is older than him. Then, without arranging the times, the two start to see each other again and again, but only on rainy days. They deepen their relationship and open up to each other. But the end of the rainy season soon approaches.
