* [[Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder]] - This is subverted to some degree: while Takaki's mind does indeed go yonder, his heart remains fixated on one constant point: this accounts for Kanae's observation that he is always looking toward something distant, and fails to notice people around him. For most of the movie, he is unable to have the individual who invoked such feelings in him because he was too rigid to move toward anyone -- until the end, at which point he becomes capable of actually taking control of his own life and taking it in the direction that he wants it to go. To this end, his heart has not gone yonder; rather, it becomes a little more malleable and open.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: All three adaptations add things beyond the film's coverage
** The [[Revised Ending|manga adaptation]] adds a lot more detail to Takaki's adult life and relationship with Risa. It also has extra content past the end of the film proper that breathes insight into Kanae's life following the events of the movie and parallels Takaki's experiences during his adulthood; with her life passing through the same cycle of entering and leaving relationships, she ultimately decides to confront her feelings head-on by trying to meet up with Tohno. Contrasting Takaki's implied meeting with Akari, Kanae {{spoiler|decides to pursue him when she appears to have found him again}}.
** The novel goes into greater detail on Takaki's life after returning to Tokyo in the third act, including how he had two other girlfriends before Risa. It disagrees with the manga on a number of things, though, like how he breaks up with Risa, and doesn't have Kanae's final chapter.
** Akari's side of things in the third act is covered more extensively in both the manga and ''one more side''.
* [[Airplane of Love]]: To emphasize how distant Takaki is to Kanae, the launch of a rocket replaces the airplane.
* [[Alien Sky]]: Takaki's recurring dreams feature sweeping panoramas of familiar landscapes juxtaposed with [[Media:FiveCentimetersPerSecondLandscape2 7436.jpg|skies featuring unique sights]].
* [[Aliens in Cardiff]]: While the film starts in Tokyo and returns there for the third act, other parts of Japan less readily known to foreigners also are of importance; much of the first act concerns Takaki making a cold, lonely journey up north to rural Tochigi Prefecture to meet Akari. The second act takes him even further away to the remote southern island of Tanegashima.
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The driving force behind the story, this movie illustrates how reality does not follow the "happily ever after" route, and how love is sometimes unrealised.
* [[Ambiguous Situation]]: Is the woman that Takaki passes at the railway crossing in the third act really Akari? The fact that she doesn't wait to acknowledge him despite getting her memory jogged a short time ago by {{spoiler|
* [[Anthropomorphic Personification]]: Symbolic only in the minds of the characters. These aspects are present within the title and other subtle details such as the rocket launch and the train.
* [[Bishonen]]: Takaki
