This is the story of two close friends, Toono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who became separated by space and time: Part 1 — The Chosen Cherry Blossoms (26 min.): Because of family relocation, Shinohara Akari had to leave Tokyo after graduating from elementary school. The strong feelings between Takaki and Akari keep them in contact, but they worry that they may not meet again. Then, one day, Takaki learns that his family will move from Tokyo to an island in the far south of Japan, so he decides to use this last chance to visit Akari by train... Part 2 — Cosmonaut (21 min.): Years have passed, and Takaki still writes emails meant for Akari, only to never send them to her. Meanwhile Sumita Kanae, his classmate, has feelings for Takaki, but she does not have the courage to confess her love to him... Part 3 — 5 Centimetres per Second (16 min., mostly a music clip): Takaki is working as computer programmer now, occasionally remembering his former life — and love. And one day, at a railroad crossing, he suddenly passes by a woman who looks familiar to him... — written by DD of Mikomi, edited

Episode 1: Cherry Blossom Runtime: 30 minutes Air Date: 2007-02-11 Upon graduating from elementary school, Takaki Tono and his close friend Akari Shinohara drifted apart. Akari moved to Tochigi Prefecture due to her parents' jobs, while Takaki attended a junior high in Tokyo. The two kept in contact by writing letters, but despite the special feelings that existed between them, the only thing that persisted was time. When Takaki became aware that his family would move to Kagoshima, he decided to go see Akari since they would be too far apart to visit each other after he moved. However, when the day came, a severe snowstorm delayed Takaki's trip, and it would be hours before he reached Iwafune, where they promised to meet.
Episode 2: Cosmonaut Runtime: 25 minutes Air Date: 2007-03-03 Takaki is now in the third year of senior high in Tanegashima, where the Tanegashima Space Center is located. Kanae Sumita, a classmate of Takaki, has special feelings for Takaki, but she does not have the courage to express her love to him. She later observes that Takaki is always staring off into the distance, as if searching for something far far away.
