Subtitled "a chain of short stories about their distance." is a 2007 Japanese animated feature film by Makoto Shinkai. The film was finished on January 22, 2007. The first part of the film was debuted on Yahoo! Japan as streaming video to Yahoo! Premium members from 16 February to 19 February, 2007. On March 3, 2007, the full length featured film had its theatrical premiere at Cinema Rise in Shibuya, Tokyo. The film consists of three segments: Ōkashō (桜花抄), Cosmonaut (コスモナウト), and Byōsoku 5 Senchimētoru (秒速5センチメートル), totaling about an hour of runtime. As in Shinkai's previous works, Tenmon composes for this film's soundtrack. The DVD was released on 19 July 2007 according to Makoto Shinkai's official website.
Makoto Shinkai had expressed that, unlike his past works, there would be no fantasy or science fiction elements in this film. Instead, the feature film would attempt to present the real world from a different perspective. Makoto's film gives a realistic view of the struggles many face against, time, space, people, and love. The movie is named 5 Centimeters Per Second for the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.

Then I can expect all of them to make me cry, as I cried to Voices of a Distant Star, and 5 Centimeters Per Second.
They're just beautiful.

Actually The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was made by Mamoru Hosoda, not Makoto Shinkai, but it's a great story anyway. I like this movies more than Miyazaki's.

Makoto Shinkai is the name you're looking for. :) He also did a short called The Girl and Her Cat (something like that).

Miyazaki movies: Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, etc. Look him up in IMDB.
