#99 - 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) dir. Makoto Shinkai 10/10
Quite possibly the most beautifully animated film of all time, Shinkai tells 3 short episodes about a boy and his various unrequited love situations. Deeply affecting and simplistically poetic, animation simply doesn’t get much better than this. Highly recommended.
Yesterday, I dreamt a dream. A dream from long ago. Within the dream, the two of us were still thirteen, standing upon the vast prairie blanketed in snow as far as the eye could see. In the distance, the lights shimmering in houses were set sparsely, far and wide. All that was left upon the newly fallen snow were our footprints. Just like that, we wished, without hesitation, that one day the two of us would be able to see the cherry blossoms together again.
