(mmc = male main character / fmc = female main character)
one of the most disappointing romance animes i’ve seen. was extremely difficult to get through for only being 6 episodes. the mmc and the fmc spent 4/6 episodes not even talking to each other. this anime took the course of about 9 years, 7 of which they didn’t spend communicating. they’ve had a crush on each other practically since their first year of high school and neither of them took any steps do further the relationship. even the reason they weren’t talking for several months was a waste of time. the fmc just felt nothing but pity for herself for like 3 eps and i couldn’t feel pity for her. even when they got a chance to actually fix the problem, the mmc was literally like “that was it? you didn’t talk to me…

I would call this anime “The show of the fkn stupidest girl alive”.
The idea of this plot/story is good! The pace was also good, but the execution was trash because Aika Miou is so bland and retarded!
In order to be able to finish this anime you have to skip ep 4 because she ruins the execution of the story with her masochist nonsense.
Isn’t making this into a movie more optimal?
Anyways, the ending is beatiful if you take it lightly.
It’s just 5 eps if you skip #4 so now go watch it if you are still thinking about it, maybe you can enjoy it if you take this anime lightly.
Don’t spoil yourself below if you can easly watch 5 eps of anime.
Spoiler zone ahead;

Too bad Aika ruins some of the ending... Imagine waiting for a man 7 years who you never even fucking kissed. Did she visit him…

I think if I only talk about romance element then this is best. The feelings shown in this anime are 10 on 10. Art style was also satisfactory. This is not a solo series. You have to watch the two movies first , 'I have always liked you' and 'The Moment you fall in love'. But watching it solo is also okay. When I watched the movies I thought this is a average franchise but this season is just outstanding. One of my favourite anime seasons of all time. Better than most romance animes . I will recommend this to everyone who likes romance genre. Thank you for reading.

Our Love is always 10 centimeters apart is a romance anime based on characters from a separate movie and other source material, I found this anime on Mal after browsing for good romance anime, I decided to give it a watch, and it was pretty decent, it's definitely not one of the best romance anime tho like Sakurasou, Your Lie in April, Afterstory and all that, but it still looked interesting and had a pretty cool premise. It tells the story of a girl named Miou Aida and a boy named Haruki who have been in love since the first year of highschool one being a painter, the other being a movie director, despite their strong feelings towards each other and spending a lot of time together, their romance doesn't progress because they are both shy when it comes to confessing, plus they always end u…

If you are just starting to get into romance anime and want a drama induced storyline, then this is the anime is for you. I think it's a good beginner anime for love story fanatics since it does not leave you expecting too much, but it's enough to get you hooked.
To tell you the truth, I was not disappointed since I didn't expect much to begin with - only 6 episodes for character development in a coming of age story. You can't get attached to these characters, so if you are looking for a quick fix this one is decent. However, if you are looking for depth, try Hachimitsu to Clover. Nevertheless, the story is an interesting one, but a bit overused.
Art is lovely, but it's not astounding, it is as though it's missing something.

This review contains mild spoilers for the beginning of the series.
Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart, which I'll refer to from now on as "10 Centimeters" because ye gods that's a mouthful, is a straight fastball, high heat right down the middle. It knows exactly what its strengths are, and it sticks to them. In that sense it reminds me of Violet Evergarden, another melancholy drama which came out a year later, though the setting and subject matter are much different.
10 Centimeters focuses on two characters in their final year of high school, artist Miou and filmmaker Haruki. It's the old trope about opposites attracting. Miou is a shy girl who lacks confidence in herself and her talent. Haruki is cocky and brash. They walk home together every day, and sit on the most memora…

It was a pretty good show. The characters behavior is understandable, the art style is pretty and the plot wasn't annoying at all. I really liked it.
Main protagonist is talented guy with big dreams and charming easy-going personality who falls in love with a second main character Miou ( another creative soul). Bring two creative people with absolutely different personalities and you will see a great match. These two were meant for each other from the beginning.
I like the atmosphere of "we are meant to be but let's wait" because it makes you feel like you are waiting for something big, something special. As long as you are waiting you story isn't finished. Same as in Bokura ga Ita where we all had to burst in tears, main characters have to be in a waiting mode the whole show. It's norma…

A short, touching romance, comedy, school drama that left me astonished and gruntled. Not gonna lie, although this series is short ( there's only 6 episodes ) it seems too underrated in my opinion. I conjecture that this anime deserves more attention due to its proficient and overwhelming aspects.
Story : 7/10
The story focuses on two students, Miou Aida and Haruki Serizawa. Miou is a shy and reserved member of the school art club that prefers to stay out of the limelight whilst Haruki is the boisterous and confident ace of the movie club, already winning awards for his directing prowess. They both became friends and grew closer to each other, but not until the last 10 centimeters. As time passes they had to decide their future and try to get past those last 10 centimeters.
Well, I'd…

Now, if you're going into this anime just be aware that it is very much filled with lots of your classic anime tropes. That being said, even though the tropes are very common, I personally really enjoyed this anime. It was cute, dramatic, and the perfect length with excellent pacing. I have gotten very frustrated with shojou animes before because they seem to draw out E V E R Y T H I N G, I feel like the 6 episodes dealt with enough significant plot points that by the end I was satisfied.
This anime isn't very unique in any aspect: character design, character personality, pairings, story, even whole scenes. That being said, I still managed to enjoy every single minute of it and do recommend it. It was a fun watch, nothing too deep, somewhat predictable. I do recommend it if you aren't hig…

10 cm apart is probably one of my favorite romance series ever.... and i've seen a lot of them. The characters are well designed and believable, but the true worth is in their interactions. They feel like genuine people trying to navigate high school relationships, that being said its not super in depth with the other characters besides the two main ones but it still holds up. The real reason I started this review was just so I can have it on record how much I absolutely ADORE the ED for this anime. Don't get me wrong the OP is ok, but the ending theme is my favorite ED of all time, I literally cannot watch it without wanting to tear up. Please watch this even if its just to see what this amazing ed is.

Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta., Is a pure art of so called Romance/Drama fit into 6 episodes, the story basically tells us love stories between 6 teenagers and how they handle the conflicts of confessing their love to their crushes. After watching anime since I was a kid, I felt like whenever I was watching a romance anime, I could more likely predict what would happen or something closer to, what I would expect, but this anime is not your regular Romance/Drama, it’s something much more special, it feels like you can relate at the conflicts, and it’s not your regular romance anime where you scream at the screen and tell MC what he should do, you will just stare with wide eyes open in half tears and click on next episode until you see the sun rising.

Before I start I want to say that I haven't seen the two prequel movies that preceded this series, which have a more general focus on characters that appear in this anime. This series in particular focuses mainly on one of the couples that appear in the two films, and it isn't necessary to watch them before proceeding with this series. With that, I'd like to come out and say that I think this anime has been slept on considerably; it's a cute little romance story that would definitely be appreciated by a lot of people who need their romance fix when they've run out of things to watch. It's a very straightforward shoujo-like plot that doesn't do much new, but goes through the usual conventions in a very beautiful and enjoyable way.
One of the main reasons why I like this show is because it…

STORY - 7
ART - 8

ENJOYMENT - 8
Let's get the film rolling. This is a compact yet sweet story highlighting the emerging love and dreams of two artistic teenagers.
The story itself is quite heartwarming, even though it does have its own clichéness or genericness. While it's a short anime, the amount of plot included in each episode felt perfect. You can think of the timeline as a division of thirds. Starting with the connection, then the breakdown, and lastly the resolution. The other characters didn't had that much screentime compared to the main pair but as supportive characters, they were handled well. This did gave more focus to the MCs, and overall, the progression for their development flowed nicely from the start towards the end. A bit of melodramatic hiccup…

When going into 10 centimeters I expected an anime that was going to be cliched just from the mere title: *Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart*. Having being raised with a Shoujo manga and anime beginning this isn't all that bad to me. Sometimes the most entertaining stories can be those that don't try to stray away from the norm.
Itsudatekoi does a pretty good job at realizing what its strengths are and how to best hide its weaknesses. It's a short anime (6 episodes) that explores many of the existential crises that High School seniors go through before graduation. While this show's main theme is romance, I would say it has a heavier focus on drama because by halfway through we can see the crises that start fostering within the minds of MCs Aida Miou and Haruki Serizawa.

"The best moment, one scene, one cut. A movie a compilation of them"
This series wasn't one good moment, it was a series of meaningful moments strung together from start to end, like a compilation.
Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta; well that was mouthful. As it's English name is Our love has always been 10 centimetres apart, so I'm gonna call it "Our love" from now on.
Wanted to start by saying that I have NOT seen the other two movies, so my review is as a fresh pair of eyes to the franchise.
For those of you wondering the movies are:
Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai
Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai
The anime was a cute 6 episode series which told a romance story I really enjoyed. It is not a spectacular or an innovative bre…

Ok, so here's my opinion:
Let's be honest, we need an opinion of someone who has seen HoneyWorks ever since they started making this saga or, at least, started watching it and comprehended it.
First of all, story:
I'm really pleased at all of this, Haruki is a guy who loves making movies as his passion and thanks to the influence of his brother, Chiaki. Miou is a girl who's not only shy, but brave when the moment catch her, she loves painting as a passion even though she categorizes it as a "hobby". Both of them had already appeard in a lot of HoneyWorks PVs (including Hatsukoi no Ehon, their story's PV) as well as in the past 2 movies: "Zutto mae Kara suki Deshita" and "Suki ni naru sono Shunkan wo", so people may already had a hint they both liked each other, however, it is not necessar…

Enjoyment: So, I already watched (and reviewed) the other 2 movies centered on this story and I feel like Goldilocks who finally found the "just right" porridge.
Plot: I mentioned in another review that the plot would've been better if the story was portrayed via episodes rather than a movies. Granted, the episodes add up to one long a** movie, but I feel this method of focusing solely on Miou and Haruki did some good. Of course the movie was a good definition of a cheesy teenage romance, yet it wasn't distasteful cheese. It was like an "I'm in the mood for this cheese" cheesy. And even for a tantalizing romance, the ending had its mature parts. Although the conflict was a bit too weak for my liking, I don't think there's anything bad the viewers can't grasp from the trailer or name of th…

This series was absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed the hell out of it from start to finish.
This is an excellent example of a romance anime done right and was definitely one of my favourite animes of fall 2017.
Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart is a good example of a normal high school romance with no extraordinary characteristics or tropes you normally see in these sorts of anime and it still managed to keep me engaged with the characters and their stories.
The art style and music is fantastic perfectly syncing to the scenes and made them all the more powerful. I began looking forward to watching the opening each week.
Characters were lovable and funny to watch making me wanting to support them and bridge that 10cm gap between them. The series keeps referring to that gap w…

No matter what people might say, I personally like the HoneyWorks anime franchise. As of now, the story from their original music videos was adapted into two, hour-lenght movies, and this six episode series. The first movie focused on all of our three main couples, and I enjoyed it quite a lot. The second one was worse in comparison, the characters were especially weaker, but it still remained on the positive side of things. And now we have this. A short six episode series resolving around one of the main couples. Did it live up to the potential? For me, certainly yes.
First question that comes to mind is, do you have to watch the movies to understand this series? Not really, it stays pretty independent from each other. But if you like romantic stories, there is no reason not to do so. It…

Before starting this review, I would just like to say that you CAN watch the other 2 movies after or before watching this. That is because they occur at the same timeline. The only difference being that each focuses on different couples.
Here's the titles of the 2 movies
Zutto Mae kara Suki deshita.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai
Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo.: Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai
10 cm. Such as short distance. And yet it is too much to close this gap between these 2 people. No matter what you try, distance in love is not something easily explained. Although the person you love may be right next to you, you somehow feel that he/she is out of reach, almost impossible to ever meet to get closer. And when that person is on the other side of the world, you feel like you could reach him/her no matt…
