5 Centimeters Per Second, the speed at which cherry blossoms fall, and relationships drift apart

This movie is a must watch. Makoto Shikai's masterpeice is on par with the caliber of Hayao Miyazaki's films. It leads us on an emotional ride, heart-warming, heart-breaking, and thought-provoking.

Shinkai extends the innate possibilities of the anime dynamic, reapplying its principles of lush effects, inflated background detail and sometimes undernourished character animation to mirror the interiority of the characters in every nuance of their surroundings.

I seriously enjoyed this series, looking foward to watching each week. I laughed out loud often, and there was a coherent plot and development that retained my interest consistently. While it doesn't break any significant new ground, what it does have is done well. If you enjoy this genre (romance comedy/harem), Nyan Koi! is a definite must watch. This series doesn't impress critically, but certainly provides some good light-hearted entertainment.

The anime is pretty short, it takes various chapters from the manga and also has some exclusive content. The 12 episodes are fairly self-contained, so I recommend reading the manga as well if you like the series.
A second season has been announced so I look foward to that too =D.
