About the Film
The original anime, released in 2007, tells the poignant story of Takaki Tono across three stages of his life, exploring his fading connection with a girl he once loved:

- Adulthood: He struggles with relationships and work, haunted by memories of Akari.
The anime was previously released on DVD by Crunchyroll in 2011, with later reissues by Discotek and GKIDS, who released it on Blu-ray in 2022.
