Unable to sleep, the person wakes up at 6 am to watch an anime called "5 Centimeters per Second." They describe the beautiful beginning and unique art style of the anime, and how it portrays a sweet love story. However, after watching it, they feel a sense of tragedy and realize that anime is a way to escape reality. Despite initially vowing not to watch it again, they end up rewatching it to savor the bittersweet feeling it evokes. They also mention that the theme song is really good.

Can't sleep, so I got up at 6 o'clock to catch up on anime. The first one on my list is "5 Centimeters Per Second".

Agreement:
I haven't watched many anime, and I started watching Makoto Shinkai's works from "Your Name" in 2016. When I opened it, the beautiful beginning, the unique electric train of Makoto Shinkai, the beautiful art style, everything pointed to a happy ending. The promise under the cherry blossom tree and the pure longing, everything was so beautiful. Prepared some cola and potato chips, enjoying a sweet love story.

So, I let go of all my guard, it's so sweet, definitely no knives, this is not an old Xu's drama.

Tragedy:
After watching it, I think everyone probably feels the same. I watch anime to escape reality, but Makoto Shinkai brutally brought me back to reality.
"5 Centimeters Per Second" didn't really touch my tear ducts, because I didn't have a childhood sweetheart or first love. But the pain was real. Slow and steady.

Nostalgia:
The first time I watched it, I vowed never to watch "5 Centimeters Per Second" again or listen to the theme song.

I broke my promise.

The reason is simple, after shedding tears, I want to savor the taste of youth.

Endless nostalgia.

The theme song is really good.
