From Up on Poppy Hill is a 2011 movie by Goyo Miyazaki and scripted by Academy Award Winner's Hayao Miyazaki and produced by the legendary Studio Ghibli. The movie based on 1980's comic with the same name. Take set in the early 1963 in Yokohama, the story begins with Umi, a 16 years old girl, who lives in the seaside in Yokohama harbor. She lives with her sister, her brother and her grandma, while her mother was studying medicine in United States. Her father had been killed when the Korean war. Every morning she always raises a set of flag with the message "I pray for the save voyagers".
One day, a poem about being raised the flag is published in the school newspaper. The poem is originally written by Shun Kazama, the school's newspaper president. And the the story about Umi and Shun has begun. I don't wanna give you a spoiler, so, better you watch this movie. |

From Up on Poppy Hill isn't a boring movie for me, and the movie was so realistic, and i like it. It's about a young love story complicates with a little bit of Umi's parents past story. And, it's actually telling us about high-school life in early 1963, when the 1964's 1st Summer Olympic has been prepared. I like how naturally their feel rises, and give applause to the writer and the director and the animator, they do the movie well and excellent! So, if you curious, you'd better watch this movie. My favorite quotes in this movie, is the poem who written by Shun.
Fair girl, why do you send your thoughts to the sky ?The wind carries them aloft to mingle with the crows.Trimmed with the blue, you flags fly again today. - Shun Kazama

5 Centimeters per Second is a 2007 movie directed by Makoto Shinkai. If you a fan of romantic drama movie like all movie which adapted from Nicholas Sparks' novel, you should watch this one. 5 Centimeter per Second divided into 3 parts.
The 1st part titled Cherry Blossom, takes set in the 90's, the story begin with two elementary students Takaki and Akari which quickly befriends after transfered to Takaki's elementary school. After graduating, Akari and her family moved to Tochigi, when Takaki and his family prepared to moving to Kagoshima. Takaki decided to have meeting with Akari, so, he started hi journey to see Akari and actualized their dreams to see Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) together in the spring.
The 2nd parts is titled Cosmonaut. This parts is take from Takaki's point of view. Takaki is a senior year high school student lived in Tanegashima. While Takaki still dreaming of Akari every day, Kanae, his classmate had falling in love with him since they were in middle school. But, Kanae didn't have enough courage to confess her feeling to Takaki.

The last part is titled as same as the movie tittle. Nowadays, Takaki is a computer programmer, while Akari prepared her marriage with another man next moth. Maybe this part is the saddest part, because, you will know the end of their love story. I don't wanna give you the part's outline, so you can watch this movie if you really really curious. The saddest part is the ending, maybe the ending is ordinary, but, the song "One More Time, One More Chance" by Mayayoshi Yamasaki could makes you crying (me too). The song was really beautiful and of course the lyrics like the conclusion of this movie. So, You'd better watch this movie, because, none of anime movie have an epic love story like 5 Centimeters per second. And my favorite quotes from the movie are
Maybe we tried to leave as much memories of ourselves with each other because we knew one day, we wouldn't be together anymore.
I still don't know what it really means to grow up. However, if I happen to meet you, one day in the future, by then, I want to become someone you can be proud to know.
So, there are my favorite movie from Japannese. If you want to watch, the other movie with drama and epic story like that you can watch The Place Promised in Our Early Days, The Garden of Words, When Marnie Was Here, The Wind Rises (this movie win the Academy Awards) and The Tale of Princess Kaguya. If you want a little bit of fantasy, you can watch Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Secret World of Arriety, Ponyo and manyyy mooooorrrre. So, I hope you like the movie and watch it!:)
Sincerely yours,
Sinta xoxo
