This movie is all about two lovers, that keep on getting farther and farther
apart from each other. They try to stay in contact with each other but they
can only do that for so long… The story is focused on Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari. But along there journey they go through bumps and obstacles just too meet each other face to face.

Rating – B+

Characters
The characters in this movie are kinda drawn with little details at first
because they are just kids. But as they grow up the details in there face etc get alot better. There are tons of people around them doing there
